I love that Avature allows users to customize the ATS based on user need. With Avature, each member of my team has the ability to build custom reports for our recruitment needs and can modify/remove fields as needed. This saves our team so much time while also providing real-time data from the system. I also love using the "Advanced Search" feature to help pipeline and source for our team.
When I initially started using Avature, I was a bit overwhelmed and felt it wasn't the most user friendly for a new user. That being said, with detailed training and time spent exploring the system, I quickly got up to speed and was able to integrate it into my everyday routine.
For me personally, I've love using Avature for our Campus & Events portal to solve the problem of how best to capture contacts we meet at career fairs. We have built such a robust C&E portal that has dramatically improved the way we capture contact information at these outreach events. We can now capture real-time feedback on contacts at each event and measure the success of the event based the information we capture in the portal. Additionally, we no longer have to collect paper resumes at events because all of this information is captured electronically through the portal...HUGE win!
Ease of opening requistions and approving.
Not the most 'pretty' platform, could be more user friendly.
Recruitment and onboarding
The simplicity of the solution and how it focuses on low code
The customer service component can be challenging especially when dealing with very specific government/public sector issues
The ability to utilise a low code solution for more than just recruitment
The flexibility wihtin the System. Nearly all elements in the Backend can be defined and edited by the user. This allows us to create individual processes and solutions.
In the past we have been struggling with some projects "After Go Live". As soon as the Templates development Team needs to be involved we had several issues. Mainly there where for our need not enough communication by Avature (e.g. Timelines, Milestones, Dates to provide necessary Data from us to Avature, Confirmation of Testing Time etc.). Here I see much potential for improvement to keep happy customers.
Having one common workflow allowing different user groups to have their own requirements included.
the possibility for admin users to perfrom a lot of changes by themselves
some restrictions on format and layout stability of the system
deploying functionalities that are commonly branded as “talent marketplace” or “opportunity marketplace”. A talent marketplace provides the platform to create an internal market where staff express interest in a wide range of opportunities
social onboarding solution to transform your recruiting organization ; to assist with transforming Culture, Set-up, and the layout out of required docs.
Nothing at this time. All ATS systems have some sort of downfall so it just depends on what exactly that you are looking for.
The user benefits has increased. The user experiences for our job seekers, recruiters, hiring managers, has risen to the top. We are seeing less reporting errors from all ends.
The interface is clean and easy to learn.
I don't know how to add comments once I've created a candidate.
It's an easy to learn ATS system especially with new employees & easy to keep track of candidates.
piplining candidates, the clarity of the interface
the performance management tool, the onboarding tool
sourcing for the candidates, staying in touch with them, pipelining, niche sourcing, tracking data,
I like the search functionality within Avature, not only with using Advanced Search, but also being able to use lists to slice and dice data is extremely helpful as a recruiter to show Hiring Managers pertinent information.
I don't like the look of the resume format. It is clunky and everything blends together. It makes it hard to filter through resumes quickly. I also think it is difficult to upload candidates quickly since when you import a LinkedIn profile, the education section gets messed up.
Avature has allowed us to be more efficient and target by creating Talent Pools, Communities, quickly sending emails via templates and the seeing if our emails are effective by looking if candidates have opened or clicked through our emails.
We implemented Avature for the internal recruiting team a couple years ago. They had good customer support and helped ensure a (fairly) smooth transition. Avature has a lot of solid features - including creating new profiles in their system straight from a profile/resume online. Good automation functionality as well, and customizable.
Because it's robust, there is a lot you can do but might not know how to do. It takes some solid time/effort to learn and utilize it well.
ATS and CRM - we not only used as ATS, but also got our Orientation/Learning team integrated, so onboarding was more seamless.
Avature in its entirety gives us the ability to meet students when they are Freshman and record every interaction we have with them until the graduate - this is extremely helpful for us as we like to identify potential candidates early in their student career. Being able to have students sign in at events to know what they have attended is also very useful.
I would suggest adding a feature for a student to take a picture and add it to their profile on the spot - it would be an extremely useful tool to help the recruiter remember students. Other than that, I'm not a huge fan of the way the menu is set up - having the last visited pages populate a list on the side seems sloppy and distracting.
We are able to meet students on campus early in their career as a student and track the ways that we interact with them over a long period of time - this helps us to identify talent early and maintain contact with them. There's a huge benefit to the company when there is turnover in recruiting staff because the new recruiters can continue to interact with students identified early on. We also use Avature to streamline our event management process with candidates as well as the interview paperwork and scheduling process. Having Avature host all of our recruiting needs in one place makes it so easy on our company.
For new users like me, I was amazed how the system works. The tools are easy to use.
I just started using this. So have nothing against the tools as of the moment. Everything works well with me.
It's very easy to source using this web tools.
Ability to pull reports and automate process.
I wish that offer letters were produced in word format so that they might be more easily edited.
Really helps us with pipelining and forecasting. Most powerful ATS I have ever used.
It is very easy to use for basic storage and a decent CRM. It's easy to navigate and easy to pull data from. The steps are easy to walk through. Overall Avature is great for storing information and having a database where files are held.
Getting reports out of Avature is a little tricky. Pulling the specific report that you want can be hard to achieve which his very frustrating. It's best used for storing information. The analytics piece is seriously missing on Avature compared to some other software systems out there.
Storing data in one place. It is easy for all users to see the same data at once.
The software and the company behind it adapt. If my company/team are having an issue or make a suggestion changes are made and an updated version of avature comes out with a demo of the changes.
The approval process is daunting. The could very well be a choice made by my company but to get a candidate from A to B is a 2 week process internal or external. Due to the number of Avature production emails/ System Administrative emails / Action Item emails managers and myself can get confused as to which emails need immediate attention and could be considered junk mail.
We are better able to track the number of hires per location, number of openings and keep eyes in internal transfers on a national scale.
Avature is can be used in a variety of ways. It is very flexible
Not as user freindly as most. Could not get recruiters to use it as it was not intuative.
WE tried to use it as a CRM
