Invenias Erfahrungen

Absolutely outstanding product!

Kommentare: More than 3 years ago I founded an Executive Search Firm, Total Executive Search. Prior to this I had been working on a proprietary database owned by HVS Executive Search which was web-based and thus inaccessible when offline, as well as being incredibly inefficient owing to an archaic user-interface . When I left HVS and founded Total Executive Search, we began with Dillistone's FileFinder. After several months of working with that product, we found it to be cumbersome, counter-intuitive, slow, and inefficient. A friend recommended Invenias and I arranged for a demo. We were blown away by the personalized demo, the professionalism of the staff, and the product itself is far superior to any other similar product on the market. We contacted FileFinder and provided the company with a very detailed summary of all the areas where their product fell short of what we had expressly communicated that we needed in a product, and we successfully broke the contract with no penalty. The bulk transfer of our data from FileFinder across to Invenias was very quick and easy and thus there was no significant impact on our workflow. Learning to use Invenias proficiently was mind-blowingly easy as it is extremely intuitive and the training resources are exceptional. Our productivity was at least doubled and we were able to execute search assignments in less than half the time that it had taken us before. Almost two years later when we were enticed to return to HVS Executive Search, one of my biggest frustrations was having to readjust to the proprietary database - comparable to having won first place in a Ferrari around Circuit de Monaco and then getting into a standard 1967 Volkswagon Beetle and taking on the Dakar Rally. With one flat tire and no tool kit. The customization options that are available in Invenias are exceptional, the product is way ahead of the game, and the the customer support is extraordinary - on the rare occasions that it is needed. I have no hesitation in recommending Invenias, and I would go so far as to say that after you have seen a demo, you'll probably want to ditch whatever system you're using now like a hot potato!

A Gateway to Future CMS

Kommentare: We use Invenias for most of our daily ops for both Executive Search and Consulting in general. We also run events and other projects with Invenias. Although it's not a 'do-it-all' system, it satisfies most of our data and management needs out of the box. With its new API support, we have also integrated Invenias with our other business apps to provide across-the-board user experience. Being an intuitive system, Invenias has significantly reduced the amount of training for new staff. Being cloud based, it also means our staff can use Invenias wherever they want on a variety of devices. Lastly, the continuous improvement and innovation with Invenias's development is crucial for our continued use of the product knowing that it will satisfy our future needs as well.

Vorteile:

+ Ease of Use + Fully Cloud + API Support + Continuous Dev

Nachteile:

- Time of writing, there's no access to Invenias via browsers, though this is in development - No Mac support

The worst CRM I have ever used

Vorteile:

Nothing. It is a clunky, touchy, user-adverse system.

Nachteile:

Everything. The UI is dreadful and the functionality is weak compared to other CRMs. And it is painfully slow.

Exactly what we needed. Highly recommended!

Kommentare: As a small-sized retained executive search firm (20-25 consultants in the US), we found exactly what we needed in the partnership with Invenias. The product offers a very easy to navigate embedded system that has made our daily workflow so much easier. The time we are saving compared to the other tools we have had in the past, enables us to focus on our core business activities. Their tool saves time and money, for sure. And it strengthens the quality of the searches and process management.
Besides that, the implementation and migration team, the user-training and customer support team all have been nothing but stellar. We went live at the end of 2016 and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice.

Vorteile:

The integration with Outlook makes it a perfect tool for us to manage our calendars and when receiving an e-mail, you see immediately if the sender is in the database as a client or candidate, for what assignment, etc.

Nachteile:

Some of the internal management reports are still under development (not ready for us yet) and also the fact that the add-in to Google Chrome is not finished yet.

Invenias review

Kommentare: On Mac terrible, on PC good.

Vorteile:

Email correspondence capture on candidates, helps to keep ourselves organised.

Nachteile:

Very slow response time, no integration on Mac environment (this is really bad), cumbersome installation process.

Solid, simple CRM with usually awesome customer support

Kommentare: Solid data storage software to enable project management of hiring projects, with excellent options for coding customisation; but not the best for intuitive task management, has limited data manipulation within the system, and is not the tool for efficient marketing.

Vorteile:

As a fledgling business years ago, we deployed Invenias whilst it was still undergoing significant development, so we kind of grew with the product. It's been increasingly customisable, customer service on the whole has been swift and efficient over the years, and its user friendly enough that inducting new staff to it has always been a smooth process. It has some dashboard data and reporting and invoicing capabilities which should suit an owner/operator firm setup, and pricing overall is ok.

Nachteile:

Invenias operates through the outlook platform, and whilst this seems attractive, it can actually cause some heartache. eg: mass mailshots directly from Invenias inevitably cripple all email activity. There is no integration to Zapier, and no other way to effect task automations (eg: clicking a button to send a thank you note after a candidate interview, from the same candidate record screen you've just been working on - impossible; or generating a Teams invite directly from Invenias - impossible) - so there's actually a lot of duplicate process work required. Data analytics and reporting are clunky - either you spend more to get quite generic reporting and data dashboards, or multiple excel exports to the likes of Microsoft Dynamics are needed if you really want to get better quality data analysis. In fits and starts there have been unexpected outages, which can be crippling if you don't keep manual records or duplicate records elsewhere for current hiring projects. After Bullhorn purchased Invenias we were excited about the potential for some of the Bullhorn features being worked into Invenias, but that doesn't seem to have happened, so compared to newer software emerging for the executive search industry, Invenias is starting to feel dated.

Best for executive search

Vorteile:

The software integrates all the features very well. It’s good for working and got all the tools to control that work.

Nachteile:

Is not easy to work on the beginning, as a lot of situations at the end is user mistakes and is not easy to clean the data base

My firm switched to Invenias from File Finder after having a Demo of the software. Best. Move. Ever!

Vorteile:

Intuitiveness, speed, efficiency, user interface, reporting, customization, reliability. everything!

Nachteile:

There's really nothing that is a cause of frustration - any bugs that I've ever experienced in the several years of using the product have been resolved very quickly by the support team.

Smooth and easy migration

Kommentare: We moved to Invenias from one of the older more established recruitment systems in mid 2016 and haven't looked back. The integration with Outlook and Linked In, the mobile app, the smooth migration and great customer service mean that we're delighted with the decision we made.

Vorteile:

Outlook integration and ability to parse in CVs from Linked In

Nachteile:

On occasion it does crash but no more often than any other software

Executive Search

Kommentare: Hugh efficiancy

Vorteile:

Super user friendly. Professional software for headhunting. They understand our profession and develop it constantly.

The best recruiter software out there

Kommentare: Logical, easy to use, seamless, and wonderful reporting capabilities as well as in-depth search capabilities. Even those who have massive phobia about this type of software will use and love Invenias.

Vorteile:

Ease of use and how logical it is.

Nachteile:

Can't think of any except maybe dupe checking on bulk importing

DSML Executive Search - User Experience

Kommentare: Our experience with Invenias has been very good. The support is excellent - very quick and around the clock. I give the company five stars all around. Invenias is a very good "search" management tool. It provides us with the ability to really manage a project well from start to finish. In addition, having access from a mobile device, (at no extra charge), has been very useful for our team. In fact, while in Russia, I had to suddenly come up with a candidates phone number. The Invenias app, from the hotel lobby, provided me the information within about 20 seconds.

SEARCH & SELECTION RECRUITMENT CONSULTANTS - LOOK NO FURTHER THAN INVENIAS

Kommentare: This software has added real value to my business. I have been a customer and 'user' for 8 years and without doubt Invenias is progressive, client focused, innovative and supportive. Periodically there are technical issues to resolve but the support staff respond within a matter of minutes and 'sort the issue' with a minimum of fuss. A superb product.

Happy Customer

Kommentare: Since using Invenias, we have been able to improve our internal processes, our reporting capabilities with our clients and our ability to work remotely.
