Thankful for talentReef ATS/Onboarding systems!

Pros

  • We've been with talentReef nearly 2 years and our last 2 account managers have been great! Support was a concern right after we converted, but we were able to gain an account rep and began weekly calls until all the holes were plugged in.
  • Linking ATS data and onboarding data eliminates the need for the applicant/new hire to enter the same information twice.
  • We're now receiving system emails regarding upcoming new releases, which is helpful.

Cons

  • The system is pretty cumbersome compared to the several ATS and HRIS systems I've used in the past. You don't always know where to look to find an employee's information (application, boarding forms, I-9, etc.). You'd think once they're hired and onboarded, all their information would be housed together in the same place. Also, there are 2 search areas, one for applicants and one for other fields. For candidates who apply for multiple locations, you have to release them individually from each location. Our recruiters don't do this, so we have over 1000 active applicants when we shouldn't. It would be better if there was only 1 applicant record then the various locations listed within that 1 record.
  • When assigning a posting for multiple locations, you have to go in and manually change the "manager" assigned to each posting. We have 32 locations, so this is very time consuming. Why can't you assign the manager at the same time you're creating the posting?
  • I've been wanting to launch the Engagement module with warnings and performance evaluations. I've spent hours setting up the different templates, but once you do that you cannot revise your form. You have to delete and start over. In addition, I discovered (through a test account) that once you submit an warning or evaluation to an employee, you cannot go in to delete it or revise it. I don't understand why forms would be set up that cannot be revised. Due to this, this project is on hold for our whole company.

Return on Investment

  • It's saved substantial time and labor for our: 1) managers who used to go over each form and policy with every new hire; 2) our HRIS administrator who now only has to hand-key about 10% of the new hire's data instead of all of it. It has also saved the cost of paper and time copying forms. Lastly, we've reduced the size of our paper personnel files due to the onboarding forms being electronic, reduced the file cabinet space needed, and reduced the labor of having someone manually file forms into the personnel files. We're a restaurant franchise with around 90% turnover, so that's a lot of new hire activity.
  • As I mentioned, we were hoping to go to electronic performance evaluations and warnings but are now looking at other options away from talentReef.

TalentReef is worth it!!

Pros

  • The layout and navigation thru the program are very easy to use and learn
  • I like that I can easily find the applicants I am looking for and track them easily.
  • The overall appearance of the screens are very easy to read, use and navigate.

Cons

  • Learning how to 'bypass' any one candidate was challenging at first. Once learned it is now very easy.
  • Some of the features and benefits in the program a re still hidden and I am constantly learning new things about the program. I would like a full tutorial that should be a good 30 min long covering not only the high points, but the hidden functions too.
  • I have literally taught myself how to use this product. Now that I have more than just the basics, I find it easy, but initially it was frustrating. So a learning tutorial or online customer service chat could be very helpful.

Return on Investment

  • I think that using TalentReef has made it much easier to track new applicants and to get them onboarded quickly
  • Once you have the basics of the program, it is very easy to train someone new and then to over see them
  • Using TalentReef for your new applicant tracking will definitely help you know exactly where each new candidate is in the onboarding process or if you need to release them.

talentReef Simplifies the Search for Talent

Pros

  • Ability to customize the application for individual positions.
  • Ability to create customized assessments for each position.
  • Allows the managers in each location to complete hiring paperwork in one platform for consistency.

Cons

  • The system is a very rich website which does cause problems loading the platform when an applicant or location does not have the absolute best internet service.
  • Sometimes people are not as tech savvy as the general public believes which causes issues with the applicant's access to the platform. talentReef is and has worked towards making support access more available to the applicant.

Return on Investment

  • Moving to talentReef as an online application tracking system has saved a great deal of time and paper. The ability to review applications at a glance has simplified the process for our management teams.
