Best value and services/ Definitely recommend!

Reviewed 5 years ago

ease of use, lots of candidates, intuitive upgrades, friendly service.

Pros

Brightmove is quite intuitive and easy to use. The cost is unbeatable and they are constantly adding new enhancements. My favorite aspect as an HR Director is that the jobs automatically push out to relevant job boards which saves time and draws in quality candidates!

Cons

n/a. Truly love this product. I wish it integrated with Paycom so the employee information could be uploaded, but this is not a show stopper.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the features and enhancements.

I have setup up Recruiting Process for multiple companies and the one ATS that I have used in doing this is Bright Move. BM covers every aspect of tracking Candidates, Programs and Vacancy Positions. It's easy to navigate and if you do have an issue the Technical Staff will walk every step with you. Bright Move is reasonably price and does everything and more than the bigger ATS Systems.

Pros

It's easy to navigate

I would like for it to match candidates with open positions when enter

Amazing Value for 1-Person Recruiting Dept

Reviewed 5 years ago

Ability to organize mass amount of recruiting data contained in excel spreadsheet and tabs

Pros

Customer service, ease of use, cost effectiveness, wiki page is pretty helpful although needed help finding the specific topics. I sent several questions a week through the Help feature and they are ALWAYS responded to quickly. Major tech glitches were resolved within 24 hours. Ability to create my own career portal and get it up and running almost completely by myself (with some guidance from Customer Service).

Cons

Candidate and job profile pages are pretty busy and am unable to remove a lot of the fields I don't need; would like photos to display if candidate's LinkedIn profile is linked

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments and concerns. While we certainly regret not being able to resolve the integration issue with Monster in a more timely manner, I assure you that we were working diligently behind the scenes to correct the problem. Unfortunately, we are sometimes constrained in integration situations, based on the flexibility, and responsiveness of the companies we integrate with. On a positive note, we were able to resolve the integration issue. We have additionally worked to improve on support communication during the resolution process. Thank you again for your comments.

The vendor has excellent customer service. The product provided is decent for the price you pay. The functionality makes it easy to train new employees on. Searches are easy to maneuver and the customization for this system is very flexible. I would recommend this to a start up company.

Cons

I least like the following: Implementation is lacking: While there are tools in place to teach you how to put triggers into place unless you understand technology on what I'd describe as an intermediate level they may not function the way you'd like them to.

Great software that's affordable and customizable.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Easy to start, easy to learn to use, and limitless options to customize yourself.

Pros

Great value for the monthly cost. Fields are easily customizable along with processes. Integrates with email and has an internal job board posting that is connected to probably 100 social media/external sites. Resume parser is one of the best out there. Easy and even has a Chrome Extension for LinkedIn. Dashboard is easy to navigate and customize.

Cons

When you open attached resumes from clients, they aren't in the format they submit them in. More like a text type doc so a lot of the formatting is removed.

Vendor response

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying our resume parser feature and find the product easy to use. We strive to provide a great experience for our customers.

BrightMove Makes it Easy!

Reviewed 5 years ago

Very easy to use.. My company migrated from a more expensive ATS and have not looked back

Pros

I like that BrightMove is very affordable for small business to take advantage of, yet does not skimp on the strong performance of Applicant Tracking Systems costing twice as much.

Cons

The only negative I can think of is that the software is so customizable that at times you can get lost in the options and integrations. It's a small price to pay for the added functionality, but can be frustrating when trying to fix your issue.

It was very quick to set up. Tech support is awesome. So many features I have yet to explore. Integrates seamlessly with Indeed, easy apply.

This is a very easy to follow and learn software to organize and provide a better system to staffing agencies.

It has been great to work with both the people and reps but we definitely got the value for what we paid for and that is by far the best feeling. The only issue I can point out is that sometimes it can get real slow and often freezes our computer.

Bright Move has been great for us because of their Essentials pricing model

Reviewed 5 years ago

Easy to load resumes, search capability is very good, pricing for our business size and model is very good!

Pros

Their pay for use model is great for us so far since our volume and activity is up and down. Email support has been great. Integration with Outlook works nicely.

Cons

We've had some issues getting the DICE integration to work right out of the box. It's not as visually stunning or simple as other solutions. It would be great if the questionnaire functionality would support grading so we can better qualify candidates applying.
