Avature

What differentiates Avature from other similar products?

The breadth and depth of its solutions and the fact that they have build on that for quite some time already. Therefore the system is robust and many things that seem normal and should be considered hygiene factors, are often not even in place with newer competitors.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The extreme extent of flexibility and customisation. Our organisation pushes the boundaries in every way possible of the system, and still we seem able to overcome any hurdle. The system's structure is set up so well, that you can use it for much more than just recruitment.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The lack of recruitment expertise from the technical consultants. They know their product very well, but can't really provide any consultancy. No best practices are shared for how to implement their solutions. The approach is simply: you tell us what you want. Instead of: you can tell us what you want, but we can also tell you what we think you need. Product wise the career sites disappoint. They don't have a modern look and feel and are high maintenance and prone to break.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Hire Avature specialists to build Avature knowledge in house. This will save you a lot of time and is the best investment you can make to get the most out of your system. Because the system can do a lot and it can be overwhelming if you have never worked with it before.

What differentiates Avature from other similar products?

Avature has a very simple and clean feel. It is rather intuitive and simple to use, especially if you've used other ATS in the past.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

If you're paying for the higher level of Avature, the ability to have dashboards that put candidates in different "buckets" during different stages is great. Although I don't use the reporting much myself, I know leadership loves the ability to pull reports. It integrates well with Hire Vue, if you'd like to do pre-recorded video interviews.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Having a taste of the higher level, and then going to an organization that uses the cheaper lower level. It's hard to know the capabilities that Avature could have, but not being able to use them. I was not a deciding factor in the cost/decision to go with this level.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If it's in line with your budget, I think it's a good option. It's rather easy to use, and has decent functions.
