What is CareerBuilder Applicant Tracking?

The former Luceo is now the CareerBuilder Applicant Tracking system.

Luceo was originally Profilsoft, a French company, but was bought by Careerbuilder and rebranded Luceo, featured at over 400 companies worldwide. Luceo presented a full suite of features typical of applicant tracking systems: a user-friendly interface with mobile integration and an emphasis on the candidate's perspective, batch or mass communication with potential candidates via multiple channels such as email or by leveraging its integration with social networking sites (e.g. LinkedIn and Facebook), resume parsing, data and document uploading, candidate assessment testing, and extensive candidate background checking via partnership with ZeroChaos. Transitioning and implementation is supported via live customer support through the customer portal and online training modules and tutorials.

Manager in Human Resources (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were in need to keep track of applicants when we were doing a large hiring for customer service representatives. At that time we did not have any way to keep track of resumes other then in email which was not easy to do. We wanted something that would allow HR as well as managers be able to review resumes all in the same platform.

Pros

  • ease of use
  • multiple users to use at same time
  • get resumes and track in same place

Cons

  • search function could be more robust
  • page layout

Return on Investment

  • ease of recruitment since I am a dept of one person
  • ease of system to get managers on board with using they system
  • ability to manager recruitment process all in one location

Administrator in Human Resources (201-500 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company has to recruit - train - hire all online. One person has to keep track of all the applications for one entire state. Our goal was to be organized with the process and be able to attract more quality candidates rather than numbers. We found that for what we are looking for hire-wise, we were not getting with this system.

Pros

  • Easy user face.
  • Easy to learn.
  • Easy to work with, always helpful.

Cons

  • The ability to not allow applicants to apply more than one time if that application has been rejected in the past.

Return on Investment

  • Negative-ROI.
  • Positive - brand awareness
  • Positive - templates

Luceo was a nice surprise in a very competitive market!

Director in Human Resources (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • It provided real time data, with readable reports.
  • It makes posting jobs easier, post in the system, and it blasts to job boards.
  • The metrics available to time to fill, etc., are user friendly, and creating reports is simple.

Cons

  • Search tool has limits. You can key word search, and that is about it.
  • When reading a resume for one job respondent in a requisition, I would like to stay in that same viewing mode when jumping to the next candidate with less clicks!
