Vincere

Avantages

C'est pratique et intuitif . On a un système de suivi, de notation et de classement des candidats. Sans oublier le support technique qui est proactif

Inconvénients

Il est assez compliqué de migrer les données d'un autre système

Avantages

Helps me truly understand the $ value in my pipeline: Vincere tells me exactly how much money I am going to make from each placement in my pipeline. As a result my forecasting is much tighter and I have a better picture of what the state of my deal pipeline really is. The system has this chevron design across the top of the screen which really spells out exactly how many interviews I have going on.
Price: although pricing is not really the #1 criteria for me when I am choosing software, (I would pay much more for a great system if needed and I have paid significant sums in the past) the savings that I am making on a monthly basis are big. With Vincere I am paying $39/ month. This is a saving of over 100 dollars per month for just me alone, but I feel that I am getting a major upgrade in terms of the product I am using.

Inconvénients

So far, none. I've been so pleasantly surprised by Vincere that I'm recommending it to all my connections working in the industry. I was suspicious that it was TOO cheap at first but, after I really got into the system I just realized that I'd actually spent the last 10 + years overpaying for average software.

Avantages

Constant releases, strong focus on customer service and a flexible, human approach to their customers. We switched from Bullhorn a year ago. I did a complete review of the market before settling on Vinny- including trials with most of the big names in the market. Came close to signing up with a Microsoft Dynamics platform but changed my mind at the last minute- am glad I did as we moved from office 365 to Gmail a few months later. I made the right decision, we’ve had about 5 or 6 releases since we implemented Vincere and the platform is getting better and better with each one.

In terms of specific features, the LiveList feature is great. Very unique and clients love it. Like a lightweight client portal, we use it on our retainer/exclusive roles.

The analytics are also very good- everything is pre-built and ready to use. You can see from the level of detail that this is a system built specifically for agency recruitment.

We also like the fact they have the online timesheets and shift scheduler for when we expand our contract business.

Inconvénients

Nothing - so far so good. Any niggles are addressed quickly by their customer success team who have been excellent. With previous vendors I’d be left waiting for weeks without getting an answer or be funnelled though to phone support. Vinny’s team are responsive and you actually feel like they’re trying to help you rather than fob you off.

Avantages

When I first looked into Vincere I had 2 requirements:

1. Managing 2 brands in one tenancy
2. Document compliance

The initial setup of 2 brands was easy but it became clear it was limited in implementation with the rest of Vincere and this would be clear this was a common theme as we used the system more

Document compliance works well with assigned document types and a controller to view and approve them, however, it has a major limitation in that once an approval type is setup you can never change it. It breaks.

Inconvénients

Vincere is clearly an ATS which was at the forefront in its initial development but is now extremely legacy, more so than Bullhorn.

All actions are clicks and submenus, all record screens are overlays so when they bug out the entire ATS refreshes to the home screen.

The pipeline is fixed, you have no ability to edit it and it is not suitable to modern search and workflow.

The 'killer' LiveList feature is the same, you can submit a candidate but then they are frozen in time for the client to see. Any CV or videos or additional compliance you have will not be added.

Basic issues you don't see until you actually see until using the system:

- Basic business development is shifted into an addon function with a new licence
- Their real job board tool is actually a separate module and costs hundred extra. Their 'free' one does not work with a number of core Vincere features
- Email templates are locked into 'functions' and you cannot just use them in easily
- They charge for exporting your data and it is very expensive
- We pay for extra customer support at it can be a day to get a reply on simple queries impacting workflow and anything that doesn't have a guide is sent to a bug status.
- There are many bugs. One ticket is 25 weeks old without action

Avantages

Recently moved across from Bullhorn.

3 main reasons we moved:

Search: the search killed me with Bullhorn, it was really limited and unstable. The free text search, in particular, was really poor. I like the fact that with Vincere you can run a free text search from any page and get accurate results.

Engagement Hub: the job board is great. It was a quick patch for us to take our pretty old website and bring it up to date. The apply via LinkedIn function is also good. Again, we were never able to get the . connection between Bullhorn and our website working properly so this was a big attraction in switching to Vincere.

Mass email and SMS: we could never get our email templates to format correctly in Bullhorn so, as a result, always sent emails outside of the system. As we've grown it's become more important to me that my consultants are sending everything out through the system

Inconvénients

No cons yet. Consultants are happy using the system which was a key driver in migrating from the old platform which they all complained about.
