# Is NEOGOV worth it for HR management at higher education institutions?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Based on the review data, I'd say yes, for the hiring and talent-management side, with a couple of caveats worth flagging before you commit budget to it. <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/neogov-talent-management-suite/reviews"><strong>NEOGOV Talent Management Suite</strong></a> carries a 4.3/5 rating across 84 reviews and the highest NPS (44) of any higher-ed-relevant product in <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/education-hr">education hr software</a>. One HR program assistant called implementation seamless, a training and development specialist described it as an excellent investment for her organization, and an HR coordinator specifically praised the automated applicant-ranking feature for cutting down manual screening work.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Most of its review base is government and public-sector HR rather than higher ed specifically, but the higher-ed reviews that exist are positive: one assistant director of HR at a university said NEOGOV's higher-ed-specific features made hiring committee workflows more efficient than their old paper process. The recurring complaints are narrower: no dedicated mobile app, limited customization without building your own user guides, and add-on modules that get expensive.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">So the value case holds for recruiting, applicant tracking, and hiring workflow, less so for faculty-activity or accreditation reporting, which isn't what this data shows NEOGOV being used for.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone running NEOGOV at a college or university, has cost scaled reasonably as you've added modules, or did it creep up faster than expected once you moved past the base package?</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p>

&lt;p&gt;Oh for general HR management, NEOGOV could make sense, just go in knowing what it is and isn&#39;t. Reviewers like it as a one-stop, intuitive HR and talent suite that cuts paper, streamlines hiring and onboarding, helps with compliance and retention schedules, and they rate the support highly. The honest caveats: its reviewer base is heavily government/public-sector rather than higher ed, and people mention limited customization. Also worth being clear, it&#39;s not a faculty-activity or accreditation tool, so if that&#39;s your real need, that&#39;s Watermark territory, not NEOGOV. For core campus HR and recruiting, is that actually the gap you&#39;re filling, or are you hoping it covers faculty tracking too?&lt;/p&gt;
