Considered Both Products
Lumesse (Discontinued)
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
Lumesse is an average to abover average ATS in my opinion. We work with Lumesse because they came to us with our new client. I don't have an overall issue with Lumesse like I do with some other ATS's.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
The normal competitors like Taleo, Kenexa, etc. And since we were using SAP HR, we did actually used SAP before going to Lumesse.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
Lumesse is a basic ATS; I was not part of the decision to select Lumesse. It does not have features like Taleo or myStaffingPro where interviews can be directly scheduled. It also lacks SAP ability to directly send out assessments. Lumesse handles the most basic of functions …
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
N/A - This is the only applicant tracking system I've used.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
Each of the above products were more effective than Lumesse. I did not select Lumesse for our company, and would replace it with another system if given the opportunity. Jobvite was the most user-friendly ATS I have used. This system allows seamless integration with social …
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
I have used Taleo (implemented and user adminstrator) and Lumesse's access to international candidates/clients is better, however the user interface of Taleo was easier to manuver.
Chose Lumesse (Discontinued)
PeopleSoft was broader than Lumesse, we integrated Lumesse with Workday and it was a good fit because each did things particularily well, and more effectively than PeopleSoft.

Lumesse is well suited for global companies, that are not too large and may get enough attention/support from other larger vendors.

Cons
  • Simplicity is key. The user interface could use some work around where a button should be located and how intricate does one layer need to be

Likelihood to Renew
The only reason I would renew Lumesse is because of the difficulty of doing a data migration to a new system and the potential loss of candidates already in the system. The cost is also a factor, it is a very expensive system and there is little to no customer support.

Alternatives Considered
Each of the above products were more effective than Lumesse. I did not select Lumesse for our company, and would replace it with another system if given the opportunity. Jobvite was the most user-friendly ATS I have used. This system allows seamless integration with social media and automatically pushes postings out to free career boards like Indeed.com. I was also able to give hiring managers their own accounts with different levels of access to the information in the database so they could browse resumes and view the status on their open roles at their convenience
