Would not recommend Invenias
What do you like best?
Invenias integrates closely with your email client (in our case it was outlook/office 365) and I think that closer integration with email, a tool that all recruiters use A LOT, is something that should be focussed on more by other companies in this space. That said, I cannot recommend Invenias as my experience with it was painful.
What do you dislike?
I found Invenias to be ugly and dated looking, lacking functionality in comparison to almost every other ATS we have used, including Profile RPM by Microdec, which is also ugly and dated looking! Effectively Invenias is a widget for your email client that sits in a bar on the right hand side taking up valuable screen space and trying to be helpful along the recruitment process whilst failing miserably at doing that which it promises. It is overly complicated, lacking functionality and not at all what we had hoped for when making a switch and trying to 'update' our applicant tracking system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend that anyone considering Invenias looks at other software ATS platforms that are a bit more up to date and less fiddly.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I liked the fact that it integrated so closely with email, and I also liked the fact we could create a client-specific job website with candidate information and CVs and the clients would have their own login and password so they could simply go on the page we made for them and login to review our shortlists, but that's about it - for this reason I've rated the software a 2/10 - one point for each of the above.
