After three years of using softgarden, I can confirm without hesitation that this system fully meets the needs of recruiting and building a positive corporate image! The most significant advantage of softgarden ATS is that it can be fully personalized for the organization, and there are no limits on the most critical functionalities (number of users, workflows, roles, messages). Such solutions make...
It works very well for us; I don't have any comments.

Thanks to the implementation of softgarden, we optimized recruitment processes, shortened the time of analyzing the application, and ensured consistent communication with our candidates. The system is intuitive and allows us to manage applications from many sources. The additional "questions for candidates" feature helps filter candidate applications more efficiently and saves time for our recruiting...
I find this solution user-friendly and well-designed; I have no issues with it.

Softgarden wickelt einen kundenorientierten Bewerbungsprozess mit einigen netten Zusatzfunktionen sicher ab und bietet vor allem eine einfache Administration, einen guten Support und ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Die Einführung der Software kann auch durch IT-affine HR-Kollegen übernommen werden. Die Bedienung und Anpassbarkeit von Unternehmensinfos, Kommunikationsvorlagen und Prozessen ist einfach möglich. Die intuitive Bedienbarkeit des Systems und der Support- und Hilfefunktion erleichtert allen Usern einen schnellen Systemeinstieg. Auch die Reporting-Funktion ist einfach, schnell und unkompliziert.
Hier und da fehlen noch ein einige Anwendungen oder Funktionen, jedes System kann und muss ich weiterentwickeln und durch die Kunden lernen. Die Zusammenarbeit mit den Stellenbörsen und der Agentur für Arbeit hat sich stark verbessert, auch wenn einige Punkte noch wünschenswert sind. Gut finde ich, dass transparent alle Kundenwünsche eingereicht werden und dann auch wirklich nach Ranking umgesetzt werden.

I value cooperation with softgarden mainly because the solution is tailored to the employer's needs. As we all know, the labor market, which is "the candidate market" - is changing dynamically, and therefore employers are increasingly struggling to find the right employees. The tools provided by softgarden (careers page or feedback solution), based on candidate market research, increase the chances...
No solution is perfect, but softgarden is performing well in all key areas.

Softgarden hat unser Bewerbermanagementsystem deutlich übersichtlicher gemacht und bildet hervorragend ab, welcher Stand im Verfahren ist, welche Aufgaben offen sind und wer diese zu erledigen hat. Das ganze mit einer sehr freundlichen Benutzbarkeit.
Das Programm ist sehr intuitiv, wenn man keine Scheu zum Ausprobieren hat. Die individuellen Bewerbungsprozesse lassen sich leicht erstellen und mit Textvorlagen hinterlegen. Die Dokumente und Daten sind sicher und zuverlässig gespeichert. Der Support ist sehr zeitnah und lösungsorientiert. Das Preismodell ist für "kleine" Unternehmen und Start-Ups super.
Ich fände es gut, wenn irgendwo auf der Profilseite der Bewerbenden die individualisierte E-Mail-Adresse des Bewerbers für die Kommunikation mit Softgarden zum Kopieren stehen würde. Es kommt aufgrund der Unternehmensignatur häufig vor, dass Bewerbende dann an die Unternehmensadresse E-Mails und Anhänge schicken. Diese könnten aus meiner Sicht relativ leicht durch Weiterleitung an die Adresse hinzugefügt werden. Die Auslesefunktion funktioniert bei ausländischen CVs eher mäßig und bedarf der Nacharbeit. Bei den "Tags" fände ich im Filter besser, wenn nur die Bewerber erscheinen würden, die alle Filterkriterien erfüllen. Aktuell muss nur 1 Filterkriterium erfüllt sein.
