Avature CRM Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

piplining candidates, the clarity of the interface

the performance management tool, the onboarding tool

sourcing for the candidates, staying in touch with them, pipelining, niche sourcing, tracking data,

I like the search functionality within Avature, not only with using Advanced Search, but also being able to use lists to slice and dice data is extremely helpful as a recruiter to show Hiring Managers pertinent information.

I don't like the look of the resume format. It is clunky and everything blends together. It makes it hard to filter through resumes quickly. I also think it is difficult to upload candidates quickly since when you import a LinkedIn profile, the education section gets messed up.

Avature has allowed us to be more efficient and target by creating Talent Pools, Communities, quickly sending emails via templates and the seeing if our emails are effective by looking if candidates have opened or clicked through our emails.

We implemented Avature for the internal recruiting team a couple years ago. They had good customer support and helped ensure a (fairly) smooth transition. Avature has a lot of solid features - including creating new profiles in their system straight from a profile/resume online. Good automation functionality as well, and customizable.

Because it's robust, there is a lot you can do but might not know how to do. It takes some solid time/effort to learn and utilize it well.

ATS and CRM - we not only used as ATS, but also got our Orientation/Learning team integrated, so onboarding was more seamless.

Avature in its entirety gives us the ability to meet students when they are Freshman and record every interaction we have with them until the graduate - this is extremely helpful for us as we like to identify potential candidates early in their student career. Being able to have students sign in at events to know what they have attended is also very useful.

I would suggest adding a feature for a student to take a picture and add it to their profile on the spot - it would be an extremely useful tool to help the recruiter remember students. Other than that, I'm not a huge fan of the way the menu is set up - having the last visited pages populate a list on the side seems sloppy and distracting.

We are able to meet students on campus early in their career as a student and track the ways that we interact with them over a long period of time - this helps us to identify talent early and maintain contact with them. There's a huge benefit to the company when there is turnover in recruiting staff because the new recruiters can continue to interact with students identified early on. We also use Avature to streamline our event management process with candidates as well as the interview paperwork and scheduling process. Having Avature host all of our recruiting needs in one place makes it so easy on our company.

Avature is very easy to use and has a lot of different functions.

There are a few steps that are unnecessary but I think that is how our company has it set up.

We are using Avature as our ATS.

For new users like me, I was amazed how the system works. The tools are easy to use.

I just started using this. So have nothing against the tools as of the moment. Everything works well with me.

It's very easy to source using this web tools.

The workflow steps are easy to utilize and track candidate progress.

The boolean or ability to search is limited. Would like to see the capabilities enhanced to search the ATS like a database.

Tracking and dispositioning candidates has been very easy with Avature.

Ability to pull reports and automate process.

I wish that offer letters were produced in word format so that they might be more easily edited.

Really helps us with pipelining and forecasting. Most powerful ATS I have ever used.

I like that you can pull candidate profiles directly from LinkedIn. they go straight into the requisition that you are recruiting for. Also, You can upload multiple candidates into the system by using a few features. My personal favorite is the email/dropbox feature. You can designate which req, category, and any other classifications for multiple profiles.

It has a huge learning curve and the platform is not very intuitive. A lot of my coworkers struggled with it at first. You also have to make sure you're trained on including all necessary data, or the reporting function will state that you have made no progress. For example, you can mark a candidate as phone screened, but if you do not log the phone call itself in the outreach column it will not show on the report.

It is very easy to use for basic storage and a decent CRM. It's easy to navigate and easy to pull data from. The steps are easy to walk through. Overall Avature is great for storing information and having a database where files are held.

Getting reports out of Avature is a little tricky. Pulling the specific report that you want can be hard to achieve which his very frustrating. It's best used for storing information. The analytics piece is seriously missing on Avature compared to some other software systems out there.

Storing data in one place. It is easy for all users to see the same data at once.
