Avature Reviews & Product Details

I like how I can easily search by job title and keywords and location to see any open internal jobs. Or, I can simply just search by location or even just view all open jobs. This way it gives me transparency as well into possible open roles that can be the next step in my career path. By seeing all open jobs, the added benefit is I can see jobs that I didn't even know about that I may be interested in. I also like how I can create job alerts to stay abreast of when jobs I'm interested in are open. Super cool feature! This way I don't have to keep signing in to search. Additionally, I like how I can submit referrals to roles as well and keep track of the progress made with each person that is submitted. The layout is simple and easy to use. I like how there is not much whistles and bells so it just makes it easier to navigate and it doesn't take me long to find what I need. I also like the branding and company-specific pictures throughout the site. It makes it feel much more customized. When I ended up applying for an internal role, it was short and simple as well. It was a short one page form with just a few questions and then a place to upload my resume and cover letter. Really speedy and then afterwards I got an email to confirm. Can't complain.

What I don't like is that when you apply to an internal job, it should show you after you submit it, a confirmation page. I don't remember receiving that and I had to wait for an email back. Also, there should be a dashboard to track progress. This is two-fold. If you submit an internal application, it can be a black hole because you don't know when it's been viewed or if you've been moved on to the next step so lot of suspense. Would be nice to have a list of each application you submitted and where it is sitting or what step you have been moved on to, if any. Also, the same would apply for referrals. We should be able to track on Avature what step our referral has advanced on to. Otherwise, we have to email the HR person in charge or message them and it's back and forth that could be avoided if there was just something on Avature to show that.

The lists tool lets you create anything from task-oriented actionable reports to complex criteria for improved automation within the workflow. It hands down has to be one of the best features of Avature. We use this to create complex rules on restriction workflow progression as well as sending mailers etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A white label variant. Being able to create more customer-branded outputs within the business instead of relying on Avature development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to use. It had many internal options like attaching a candidate to a job, send them e-mails, put in place automatic e-mails, track the steps in the recruitment process. Also, it could be used by many team members at the same time (if they have access). We had many own created templates in place, which helped to send messages faster and with fewer mistakes.

Avature ATS had got too many side-features added to it, the system got very slow forcing us to refresh the page often to have it fully loaded. For many of these side-features, we got no guidelines provided nor notification that an X feature has got added, so we had useless things making our daily work harder due to the system global speed.

Ease of use and having the ability for a shared data model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of the product causes some heartburn. I would like to see the yearly cost be switched with the one time implementation costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is very innovative and simple to use, it allows a lot of bolt ins in a modular format so that the system can be personalised to the company’s needs and of the people who will be using the system. It is very user friendly and simply to get to grips with, I like that by clicking on a job title, it Willy aie you back to that page without having to continually use the back button.

Some of the necessary fields in the back end, don’t always show in the front end, so the system stops you from moving forwards without giving an obvious reason as to what you have missed.

There are GDPR issues with the system, in that personal details of candidates, such as addresses, dates of birth and pictures, are not blanked out when they are being shown to hiring managers on the system. The only way to do this would be to take them off and then re-upload them as a new profile, which is time consuming and not efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

response time of support: takes too long to react to critical issue

stability of solution: number of errors/issues seems to be quite high Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
