"SOVA Feedback"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Sova?

I am an everyday SOVA user since 2 years. The platform itself is amazing and the potential it hosts is also remarkable. The online assessments, the managing of applicants as well as assessors is smooth. Setting up SOVA assessments and online exercises proves well in getting quality candidates. Implementing the assessment and understanding the scoring process of candidates is easy. Excellent candidate support is provided by the SOVA technical help team. Integration of SuccessFactors with SOVA has been 100% effective in targeting the right talent for hires. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

The UI of the platform can be better. SOVA has so many features but due to lack of knowledge, the user is not aware of its potential. Tutorial videos or a user guide should be a part of the drop-down menus. Use of virtual links is good. However, due to strict website policies, many students attending the Assessment Center face issues using the platform to its full capacity. Email mode of communication is good, wish we had a texting feature as well. :) Another way of bucketing the video error candidates should be made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sova solving and how is that benefiting you?

SOVA is currently working on solving the assessment center link access issue for apprentice and youth hires. SOVA is working on streamlining the process of assessment. The majority of the work they are doing is to enhance and streamline the online assessment experience for the applicants and other users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
