"My experience working with Sova is excellent. They are dedicated, focused and deliver great service!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sova?

The relationship Sova build with their clients is fantastic. The level of support and interaction is perfect. Sova are always available when needed and keep on top of projects and timelines. The Admin UI platform is easy to use and very intuitive. It does not require too much technical skill to navigate and we were provided detailed training and guidance beforehand. Project implementation has been a smooth process so far, with minimal setbacks or issues. Sova's integration team worked well with ours for our integrated projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

There isn't too much to dislike! We have had a few changes in the team at Sova looking after our account so it did take time to adjust and handover pieces of work, but we got through it and hasn't impacted anything significantly. It is just nice to have consistency in account managers/coordinators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Potential to be a leading assessment organisation but currently on the journey there"

2/5

What do you like best about Sova?

The integration with our ATS is robust and rarely produces issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

We have to ask for support rather than be proactively given it, which is not what I would expect from an assessment consultancy. Account management is strong but assessment practitioner and Occ Psych resource is harder to access. Assessments required lots of redesign time on my side due to quality issues. Sova does seem to be improving on these elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Assessments for recruiting"

4/5

What do you like best about Sova?

All the elements of the assessment process and the results are stored in one easy to access place. This means when reviewing all candidates, you can see every element and compare to make sure you make the right choice with your hiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

On occasions there can be the odd system error, which can be difficult to solve when assessment centres are underway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use SOVA for some of the key stages in our assessment and selection process. Using the system helps us ensure a consistency of approach in terms of questions asked and activities undertaking during the process, so that we can really compare the candidates' performance. Keeping everything in one system is helpful to the recruiters, rather than them having to get information from many assessors, possibly in different formats, and over a period of days. Everything is there and available immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
