## Reviews

### "Brightmove ATS" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2018* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is a great ATS and the IT suppport has been phenomenal.
> 
> **Cons**: Some reports can be tricky to pull if you aren’t well versed in the backend setup.
> 
> I love the ease of use with this product

### "Brightmove has been a seamless system, very user friendly and transparent" — 5.0/5

> **lauren** | *21 December 2017* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: BM is transparent, user friendly, great customer service and easy to navigate. I enjoy working in BM
> 
> **Cons**: BM could be updated where you are able to contact more than 1 candidate at a time. It would be nice to click a button and reach out to all of your candidates.

### "Okay product, crappy customer service" — 3.0/5

> **Sarah** | *20 April 2015*
> 
> Pros - Easy to use, more additional functions (although most don't work very well) and cheaper than other options&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;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\!

### "I love using BrightMove" — 4.0/5

> **Scott** | *25 June 2018* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Very detail oriented system" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *23 March 2018* | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The capabilities of the software has many uses.  I like that it posts on the job boards automatically for you.
> 
> **Cons**: Needs to be more user friendly.  The process of working through the jobs can be quiet tedious.  They  could make there be less steps.
> 
> Lots of candidates to review.
