Applicant tracking system for the staffing industry

About BrightMove

BrightMove is cloud-based applicant tracking and recruiting system designed for use in the staffing industry, by agencies, recruitment professionals, and corporate HR departments.

BrightMove includes a built-in job distribution tool which enables users to post and manage jobs across a range of free and paid boards, university and college career sites, social networks, and more. Additions, edits, and deletions are automatically reflected across all job boards, removing the need for users to manually manage each posting. An integrated resume sourcing tool, SourceJet, also allows users access to resumes from a variety of online sources, including job boards, college resume banks, social media sites, niche websites, and other locations across the web. Resumes are aggregated for vacancies, and matched to required skills or job descriptions, with users able to narrow the search criteria using a range of variables, including keywords, locations, industries, and job titles.

BrightMove also includes CRM functionality, enabling sales opportunities to be converted into jobs, removing the need for repetitive data entry. A library of standard reports are included, covering jobs, activity, applicants, clients, managers, and more, which can be filtered to only include data from specified date ranges.

BrightMove offers a configurable user interface, with drag-and-drop dashboard customization enabling users to set up their personal homepage to display the information which is most relevant or important to them. The hiring workflow and sales pipeline can also be customized to fit existing company processes.

    Pros

    Brightmove is quite intuitive and easy to use. The cost is unbeatable and they are constantly adding new enhancements. My favorite aspect as an HR Director is that the jobs automatically push out to relevant job boards which saves time and draws in quality candidates!

    Cons

    n/a. Truly love this product. I wish it integrated with Paycom so the employee information could be uploaded, but this is not a show stopper.

    Pros - Easy to use, more additional functions (although most don't work very well) and cheaper than other options

    Cons - If you are operating in Canada many features are not yet functional; its annoying to use their LinkedIn integration, the resume formatting is so bad we often have to ask candidates to resubmit resumes directly to our e-mail; some issues with the interface/workflow; customization is time consuming or will cost you extra $ to do; the real CON is their customer service team I have asked questions several times, and if the issue is really basic they do okay, otherwise it can take weeks of e-mails back and forth, only to be told that the solution is either your problem or will cost extra to fix if you want........for instance I noticed that we were not able to integrate our BM account with our Monster account in 2014, at that time when I asked the CS team to address the issue it took several days of communications, and then I was told it was fixed, it was not fixed. Rather than continue to argue with the CS team at BM, we left it as is. Then in 2015 I again brought the issue to the CS team's attention, they said it worked again, and this time I decided it point out it still didn't work....they asked for our Monster rep's info to talk to Monster, only to then tell us it was our responsibility to deal/talk with Monster....urgh. Terrible customer service - exactly how do I communicate to one service provider about an tech issue that one of our other vendor's products has? It was the same with issues with Twitter integration, and several other requests I have had - basically figure it out on your own or pay us a lot to deal with our own crappy product bugs. Honestly, I wish looking back we had of gone with CATS. I have used that ATS in the past, and way fewer issues. Buyer beware!

    Response from BrightMove

    Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments and concerns. While we certainly regret not being able to resolve the integration issue with Monster in a more timely manner, I assure you that we were working diligently behind the scenes to correct the problem.

    Unfortunately, we are sometimes constrained in integration situations, based on the flexibility, and responsiveness of the companies we integrate with.

    On a positive note, we were able to resolve the integration issue.

    We have additionally worked to improve on support communication during the resolution process.

    Thank you again for your comments.

    The only reason I rate BrightMove as 4 Stars instead of 5 Stars (and 9 instead of a 10) is because I don't believe there is a perfect system for everyone.

    Pros

    Having worked in Recruiting / Hiring since 1993, I have used lots of systems over the years and can confidently say BrightMove is my favorite system. I think it is very intuitive and easy-to-navigate. And if-when I am ever not sure how to do something, I can find an answer to my question fairly easily on my own or by contacting a Customer Support person in the U.S. who is easy to understand (instead of someone overseas who has a thick accent and makes me repeat everthing multiple times).

    Cons

    I wish there was a Auto-Login feature or a "Keep Me Logged In" feature so I wouldn't need to put in my Username and Password every single time I want to use BrightMove.
