CEO Staffing and Recruiting ### "We have been with Invenias since they launched..." 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 5, 2025 The product is a 4/10, the service is 0/10. Pros They are better in the early days. The problem is there was little development or improvement since. We were assured when Bullhorn bought Invenias that they would leave it alone. Boy, did they ever. Cons There is friction at every point in the process. Adding people takes so many steps that our people gave up. They would skip verification and create massive duplicates. We had to find a third party and pay them to do what Invenias's competitors include in their product. The reporting is awful. Switched from [PCRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/143770/PCRecruiter/) PCR was developed for the contingency recruiting firms. It had limitations. It still out performed invenias.

RS Ryan S. Senior Associate Human Resources ### "The worst CRM I have ever used" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 April 24, 2023 Pros Nothing. It is a clunky, touchy, user-adverse system. Cons Everything. The UI is dreadful and the functionality is weak compared to other CRMs. And it is painfully slow. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. LM Leanne M. MD Staffing and Recruiting ### "Solid, simple CRM with usually awesome customer support" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 April 8, 2021 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Reasons for choosing Invenias pricing, and at the time, newer technology and obvious investment in feature development Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

IT Manager ### "A Gateway to Future CMS" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 13, 2017 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. Pros \+ Ease of Use + Fully Cloud + API Support + Continuous Dev Cons \- Time of writing, there's no access to Invenias via browsers, though this is in development - No Mac support Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

We're very pleased to hear that you and your team are enjoy the flexibility and ease of use of Invenias and look forward to supporting you for years to come. KV Kenneth V. Director International Accounts Staffing and Recruiting ### "Exactly what we needed. Highly recommended!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 1, 2017 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. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor March 1, 2017 Many thanks Kenneth for your positive review of Invenias. We're delighted that you have enjoyed your interactions with our team and that your company is benefiting from using the product to save both time and money. I believe that your account manager has now reached out to you to get you up and running on the Chrome Parser. We look forward to continuing our relationship with you in the future.
