August 12, 2016 5.0 I was wary of moving to a new system after so many years on our previous platform but the whole process was much easier than I expected. I was dreading having to move all of our old candidate records to a new system but Vincere made it so simple, we had it wrapped up in 2 days. Wish I'd have found this system a few years ago, it is saving us a fortune and is just so much easier to use than our previous system. Pros Definitely, the biggest plus for us has been ease of use and the ability to customize searches and page views easily. Plus, there is no need to have to train new users on the system, they can get going by themselves. Vincere handles the entire life cycle of the placement process, from getting new customers on board through to invoicing and billing. It basically contains everything you need to get your job done with as little hassle as possible. The interface is also pretty cool- it feels super modern and works great on mobile. The analytics are also very, very good: you get several dashboards and the option to export out to excel. Cons None. This system has been an absolute lifesaver for our business- I can't recommend it highly enough. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ever-evolving, function-packed, value-for-money CRM/ATS" October 1, 2018 5.0 Vincere is the upstart nibbling away at Bullhorn in particular. It isn't pretentious but it is the pretender to BH's throne, for sure. The company takes care to look after its clients in a manner that its bigger rival does not whilst absolutely offering all the Enterprise-level bells and whistles for a fraction of the price. Pros Vincere everything a Search firm needs, irrespective of its positioning and level of sophistication. It offers all the tools needed for recruiters to source, store and leverage candidate and client data, whilst as a manager/owner, there is a veritable suite of reports to carefully monitor and manage individual and company performance. Cons It can take some time to adjust to its process flow (having switched from Bullhorn after a 10-year relationship, that was inevitable) and it has sooo many functions that one needs to invest some time and effort to truly understand what is packed under the bonnet. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior consultant Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recruiters avoid - They have amazing marketing but an appalling product " June 13, 2022 1.0 Absolutely appaling. The worst CRM choice we could've made. Pay and bill was an overpriced piece of garbage that we cancelled. Their add on interview platform is overpriced and barely works (like the whole system) - They sub out the development of a lot of the system hence why they have no idea how it works Pros That our contract expires soon and we can leave. Cons Support knows little to nothing about their product. SO MANY aspects of the system don't work properly. You can go back and fourth with support for literal weeks with them having no idea how to fix the issue. All they seem to sugest are time consuming work arounds for its bugginess or system lacking some BASIC features. Review Source Olivier P. Managing Director Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""Finally a Recruitment Software created by people who understand how modern recruitment agencies wor" December 6, 2018 5.0 A lot of automation, from CV parsing to interview scheduling until the offer and invoicing (integrated with our Accounting system). Teams KPI's are easy to monitor without having to ask long reporting. Pros Vincere has all the features you would expect from a good system, and even a bit more with functionality which are truly useful because they make you earn time (and not a gadget nobody use after few weeks) Automation of the flows is well though in order to be more efficient and to provide the best candidate and client experience. The client portal is a strong great, clients likes it. The GDPR compliance tracking is simple and clear. As they say, they're big enough to deliver but still the right size to really care Cons Nothing so far. As any systems things can be improved, but we can really see that our feed-back is taken into consideration. Review Source Bo K. Customer Service Ambassador Banking Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Revenue focused CRM" December 15, 2023 5.0 Had a limited time to use the product, very well met our team's expectations in terms of CRM, but couldn't have experience on the use of HR functions. Pros I found the product is reliable when we worked on CRM projects that were revenue based, good for capturing real time tracks and generating accurate sales that includes products and services. Cons Cannot recommend for banks, but would work with recruitment and staffing agencies. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-founder Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Worst CRM/ATS Out There" January 27, 2024 1.0 Pros Not a single thing. It is truly dreadful. Cons Everything. The customer support is truly dreadful, we asked to cancel our account over two weeks ago and we have had no support or assistance. They have been holding out until our next payment before we hear from them I imagine. The software is useless, there's too much going on and none of it works properly. Its clunky and like being in the early 2000s again. I would not recommend this to anyone, you will waste your time. They lock you into a contract and do not let you leave after you were completely missold the product. Honestly I've never had a worse experience with a company ever. The way we've been ignored and mistreated is baffling. How can no one get in touch after you say you're going to cancel? It should be of immediate concern to any business when someone isn't happy. Not with Vincere. Review Source Response from The Access Group March 29, 2024 Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we are terribly sorry to hear about your experience. We'd love to work closely with you to fully understand how we can help. To hear that you have been missold is something we do not tolerate and are keen to get to the bottom of the matter for you. Would you be open to reaching out to us? We'd love a chance to understand the details and find a solution together. VR Verified Reviewer Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Avoid and try JA " June 12, 2022 2.0 Pros Nothing Person in support was a nice guy, but only so much he can actually do with this system Cons It is cumbersome, clunky, counter intuitive and required 3 - 5 + times as many clicks for most actions compared to Jobadder Search function is terrible (you need to type in exactly "John Smith" to find John Smith, wont bring up matching results to partial searches like "John Sm " like any other software. Cant send SMS out of database. Cant send standardised email templates. Logging call notes and left messages cant be done satisfactorily Cant save job add templates. Cant receive email notifications for new job applications or other actions. You will end up wasting 2 hours a day in this system as opposed to saving time Avoid and move to Jobadder Its probably ok if you are moving fromBullhorn as that was terrible when I last used it. But if you are considering moving from JA to Vincere, do not proceed, it is a disaster Review Source Gary W. Team Lead Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic Product!" January 29, 2020 5.0 Gaining the use of Vincere has been a huge benefit to our agency with the biggest pros being it's ability to make matching clients and candidates so much easier and more time efficient! It also helps to identify how best to manage each consultant with regular updates on revenue and productivity. Pros Candidate Selection and Management Forecasting and Revenue Monitoring Daily Operation Management is easy to identify training requirements across the business Business development can be streamlined Cons It took some getting used too but this was mainly because of all the functions it has to offer. Review Source Daniela S. Single Point of Contact / Global Recruiter Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My first experience with a CRM/ATS" June 14, 2018 4.0 A good way to keep up with the candidates applications for different projects, measure KPIs and see areas of self improvement. Pros CV upload function is amazing but there may be too many (unnecessary) fields which clutter the workspace. A lot of functions and ways to grade/monitor/measure your work and keep up with the KPIs. A good way to keep up with the current vacancies in the company. Great customer support! Cons It drove me mad that any type of obvious and necessary action needed approval from an "admin". Wanting to delete a job vacancy because it wasn't active anymore? "Please state your reason." A mistake uploading a CV to a different vacancy? You can't delete (admin! admin! admin!) or undo those actions, you have to classify the candidate as rejected. You have no autonomy once you put whatever information out there. Review Source Simon G. Managing Partner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Refreshing in their approach" September 22, 2016 5.0 I spent a long time researching which Recruitment CRM software was going to be right for my company as we are relatively small and very young and what stood out from the start was their pro-active and engaging approach. Now that I have signed up to Vincere I am very pleased to see that this was not just a sales strategy bu a culture ingrained in to the organisation and I now have a CRM partner instead of a provider. Pros \- Great customer service - pipeline focused work flow - so logical why has no one else done it this well? - quick and easy to use, even I understand it - price - one of the most cost effective for a small business like mine Cons No real negatives so far other than the interface could get a bit too busy if they are not careful. Not a problem right now but they need to watch that they don’t try to cram too much into the user interface. Review Source DB David B. Owner/Founder Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "As far as CRMs for recruitment firms go- this is good. Like really, really good." October 20, 2016 5.0 I’ve been in recruitment since the 1990’s working both as an agency recruiter and at in-house companies so I’ve used many different ones including the big names. All too often you use these systems, they work perfectly well, but the overall process is still overly clunky and a chore to populate data. Vincere is clearly developed with the recruiter in mind. The structure and process flow works really well and there are plenty of features that enhance a recruiter’s ability to deliver a great service to all and maintain the right level of communication with candidates and clients. I like that the workflow exactly matches how recruiters work - well, at least for me and my business, and that is the most important thing. Pros I used the data import tool extensively for the first time yesterday and was able to add about 4000 records in less than 1 minute with no hiccups - that’s really really good. Like really good. I also appreciate the function which allows me to parse people’s linkedin profile - so quick and easy. The support articles and help videos are useful; it’s got just the right level of instruction to help you get going and get the job done. That said, I’m sure there will be many other features as I explore and continue to use the system. Cons I think two key things have posed problems when it comes using recruitment systems; firstly, the implementation has to be handled properly. I’ve seen instances where the set up and training of a new system has been left down the list of priorities or not been given enough resource – starting badly isn’t a wise move. Next, too many recruitment CRMs haven’t got the right feel and flow; whilst they’re impressive pieces of software they don’t reflect the way a recruiter operates and end up becoming a chore which then affects user adoption. Vincere completely avoids these 2 scenarios. Getting started has been easy and the whole flow of the system feels very natural to me as a recruiter. Review Source DC Dave C. Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Leaves Bullhorn in the dust." August 16, 2019 5.0 Probably the best customer experience I have ever had. Regular releases. A great choice for recruiters that want to partner with a tech provider that gets it. Pros The support is sublime. People ready to answer questions and actually looping back to see if the solutions they've provided actually work. An example: with my previous system, I had a small but persistent issue with the formatting of my email signature. The logo in my email signature would never render properly- sounds like a small thing but this basically prevented me from sending out emails to Clients and Candidates from the system as I am fussy about these things. I tried repeatedly to get support from my previous system on this but was basically ignored. With Vincere, they sorted this issue out for me right away. I was beginning to think this was impossible and it’s done now – really happy with it. It will make a huge impact on my ability to do everything through the system which is brilliant. Cons None. I was beginning to give up hope on CRMs before Vincere, I am so relieved that I have found a CRM that I actually enjoy using. This is the first time I've every bothered writing an online review which I think speaks volumes. If you are considering a new CRM then I would highly, highly recommend them. Reason for choosing Access Vincere Evo It's a more complete offering. One thing that i got sick of with Bullhorn was the fact that I had to use 3rd party apps to get decent analytics and integrations. Vincere gives you most things you need in one plan, one price. Review Source JS Jason S. Founder Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cracking search function. It was a great decision to finally leave Bullhorn." March 13, 2018 5.0 Pros We discovered the new kid in town, Vincere, after being with Bullhorn for 8 years. Bullhorn was okay, but it just does not compare to Vincere, it really doesn't. No where near as many features and functionality and the system was starting to feel very old and dated. Vincere is innovative, intuitive and it's generally got us excited as a team. It's going to allow us to grow our business enormously in the short-medium term. Absolutely love the various searches built into Vincere - you can run advanced, Linkedin and Indeed searches in one click which instantly gives us relevant results (and more importantly shows how many results for each category - Bullhorn couldn't show search results number which was annoying to say the least) The ability to parse candidates into the system is super easy, saves us a lot of time and the ability to bring candidates/contacts straight in from Linkedin is Cracking!! The whole team have treated us really well since signing, the support team are fantastic and respond to any questions more or less instantly and we always get follow up calls from them... it's just unimaginable service - I did read this before I joined on this review site actually but you really have to see it to believe it. Cons We’d like to see more customisation on the candidates summary pages, you can add custom fields here but a little interface customisation would be good. Although, the guys at Vincere are open to feedback from customers so i’ll submit as a feature request! Review Source AJ Alexandra J. Principal Recruitment Consultant Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Independently-owned & built by people that 'get' it!" August 4, 2020 5.0 We love it. I've used quite a few systems in my time and there's no comparing Vinny with the rest. Pros We recently started using the LiveList client portal, which is getting good feedback from our clients already. Such a clever way of working with clients, we have made the LiveList part of our standard pitch for new business or to sell retained work. I also like pipeline and forecasting element is brilliant. Really clear and easy to understand. The LinkedIn integration is brilliant too. I think it is important that Vinny (as we call it) is independently owned. Other systems out there- the Bullhorns and SeekAdders- are either owned by PE firms or job boards. I like supporting a firm which is owned by one of us, recruiters. Plus I know exactly where all our data is held. Cons Not much tbh. They do a lot of releases though so I'd say one negative is making sure we're using all the new features. Switched from [JobAdder](https://www.capterra.com/p/135918/JobAdder/) Wanted more depth. Review Source MP Matt P. Founder & CEO Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A data-driven way to grow your recruitment business." July 12, 2017 5.0 Ultimately, Vincere helps us to be data-driven for the delivery of our recruitment services. It allows us to measure things that were difficult or impossible to do before. We can now make decisions with confidence as they are backed up by solid numbers and facts. Pros As an agency, we are forward-thinking and tech savvy. Social sourcing, web 3.0 tools, mobile applications, and the like excites us! Technology has enabled us to innovate our headhunting practices and work smarter. This is where Vincere comes in which we believe is a step towards further innovation. Vincere allows us to track everything from sourcing to placement and even to invoicing of clients – allowing our recruiters to do more in less time. Before Vincere, we were using several, disconnected digital tools, but Vincere understands recruitment and proved to be more efficient for our recruitment team. Vincere has streamlined our recruitment process massively. Before Vincere, we used Google Drive and Dropbox to store candidate related documents. These tools get the job done but ultimately, they are not built for recruitment. The lack of visibility meant that it was difficult to track progress from receiving candidates to job offer. With Vincere’s features built specifically for recruitment, it aligns with how our recruiters see their work. Cons Nothing bad to say really. We've been using the system for just over half a year and are enjoying it so far. Review Source JC Jeeleck C. Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very likely to recommend" September 18, 2019 5.0 Pros It’s easy to use and a very user-friendly system, with good user support. And the features are very helpful and well-thought through. Cons Engagement Hub – currently, the information that candidates fill out may not be displayed in full into the ATS / CRM when the input isn’t exactly what the system ‘registers’, but these information can be ‘accepted’ (just not displayed in candidate’s info accordingly; e.g. salary with symbols instead of pure numeric format – would be great if on registration page, the system will already trigger that as an error / map over the entire set of info / other workaround etc.). The vChat – speed is not fast enough vs Slack, and that we’ve encountered occasions where the message doesn’t go through. Would be great if vChat is can be minimized in size and maybe displayed in smaller window (good reference would be Gmail Chat) while we can read candidates’ info etc. LinkedIn Integration & idibu– Now with LinkedIn’s integration issue – I have yet to figure out how to post jobs on Vincere to LinkedIn through my idibu account (will raise this issue in a ticket separately) Review Source PF PJ F. Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Never used to bother logging in to Bullhorn. Vincere- I love it. " August 17, 2018 5.0 The key difference between Bullhorn and Vincere is the attitude of the company. Bullhorn got lazy and complacent- they want to charge their customers for every little update or new feature. I feel that Vincere are the exact opposite. They are investing in regular updates and these are given to existing customers. As this platform is evolving, my business is evolving with it. Pros I am by no means a database freak but this is a system that I am really enjoying. My friend, who also has a recruitment business, recommended that I switch from Bullhorn to Vincere and I haven't looked back. In fact, we frequently text each other and say how glad we are that we moved off of Bullhorn to Vincere! Vincere is a system that's just easy to use and get your contacts and candidates in to quickly. I actually use this system day to day to track jobs, metrics, use with LinkedIn. Compare this to when I was using Bullhorn....I only used to log in every 3 months and that was to change my password! The Indeed search function is great- you can search the Indeed database directly from inside Vincere, gives you access to candidates that you'd miss if you were working on LinkedIn or Seek. Cons I'd be hard pushed to really pick at anything negative. It would be good to have additional search filters on the Indeed search function. Overall, I am a very happy customer. Review Source CK Chris K. Partner Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Customer Support that Bullhorn customers can only dream of" February 26, 2018 5.0 Pros We were using Bullhorn before we found the dream that is Vincere. We left Bullhorn because of the inflexibility of features and it was seriously overpriced. It just didn't work for us and inhibited the ability for us to grow as a business. We love the responsiveness of the client service, in particular, their customer support function. You submit a support \`ticket via your system and one of the team will get in touch more or less immediately usually less than a day with a thorough detailed response. If that wasn't good enough, this is then followed by a personal support phone call making sure you're okay with the response and checking if you've got any further questions with the system.. amazing. Bullhorn customers can only dream of customer service like this! Cons When exporting more than 3 or 4 of our KPI Analytics reports into Excel to print, it sometimes prints on multiple pages which can be annoying, but this is just an excel formatting issue. Would also like to see a shared room booking option built into the calendar function within Vincere. Review Source EW Emmanuel W. Co-Founder Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly recommend Vincere!" November 26, 2018 5.0 Pros I launched a recruitment firm almost four years ago and I think it was quite difficult to decide which software to go for when you start. It's an important decision because you don't want to switch from one to another every time. I chose Vincere because I've been doing recruitment for 12 years and Vincere has very much everything that I need as a recruiter. I like that Vincere is very easy to use and I can parse information from LinkedIn to Vincere. I also like that Vincere takes care of everything such as GDPR compliance and a job portal for my website. Recently I recommended Vincere to a friend of mine who was starting a new recruitment company and quickly he became a Vincere customer. Cons Vincere keeps improving and innovating so there are many new features in the system. I know that I am not utilizing all features that Vincere has to offer but will definitely explore more. Review Source PS Palm S. Assistant Recruitment Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lightning fast search" June 27, 2019 5.0 Pros I like that we can search our candidates profile by the Keyword that are written on their CV (world or pdf file). We're a big agency with over 300 consultants so there's a lot of candidates in the database meaning the search is an essential part of my day to day and it's great, makes things more efficient. Cons I would love to see more clean and updated data on Vincere. I have seen so many duplicated accounts which may be written with slightly different spelling, but they are the same account. That confused me a lot. When everyone can create new account by themselves. This creates duplicate junk on the system. When move candidate stage from “sent” to “1st interview”. I expect this automatically pop-up on my outlook calendar and remind me but it’s apparently not. I think I already linked my email with Vincere. But sometime it does. Review Source PC Peter C. Owner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good price point compared to their competitors." November 10, 2017 5.0 I'd never even heard of Vincere before, to be honest. I invested a lot of time looking at all the various options in the market, from Bullhorn to Zoho and everything in between. Once I really got under the hood of Vincere, it quickly became obvious that this is a serious platform. Yes, you can get up and running really fast. But, if you want to add in complexity and configure the platform, you have the option to do so. Pros We'd previously been using RDB Pronet. The problem was that none of my consultants ever used it. We are 10 consultants sitting across 2 offices in Scotland and England, but we plan on growing in the next 12 months. For me, user adoption is the #1 thing I was looking for in changing systems. So many of these platforms either focus just on perm and search or exclusively on temp/contract. I like that Vincere really does nail the temp recruitment workflow. The fact that it comes with TimeTemp for integrated timesheets and expense management is great- it's another cost-saving and it's one less integration to think about. The proximity search feature is super-visual and fast to use. Seeing all our candidates on a map view in relation to a vacancy is ideal for how we run a quick search across the database. Being able to shortlist and send directly from a map view is ideal for my consultants. I decided to redo my website at the same time as upgrade our internal systems. The Vincere open API v2 allowed the web designer to create our new website with professional job interaction, plus it comes as part of my annual plan package. The support from the Vincere team was responsive throughout. Review Source jC jeff C. Founder Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "After Bullhorn, this is a breath of fresh air" September 23, 2019 5.0 Excellent. Recommend them over the competition any day of the week. Pros This is a system that is easy to use, is always evolving and has the best Search I have ever tried. Works really well on mobile, does all the basics really well. I also love the scheduling interview function. I moved from Bullhorn and it drove me crazy how I could only log - but not actually schedule or reschedule- my interviews. Vincere does this piece really well. Cons Nothing so far. Dealing with representative and their support team has been the Vin-cherry on the cake. Reason for choosing Access Vincere Evo Better value for money. Review Source KA Kevin A. Recruitment Consultant (Exec Search) Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "10/10. Great for forecasting." June 20, 2019 5.0 Pros I’ve only got good things to say about Vincere, it has really helped everyone in our business. The system is really clear – you can easily keep track of exactly where your candidates are in the pipeline, and moving them through the process is smooth and simple. However, my favorite part of Vincere has to be the dashboard. From here I can easily look at my stats, forecast, fees, upcoming interviews and live jobs. This really helps to keep me on track to hit my KPIs and clearly shows me how far I still have to go to hit target. Overall my team and I love the system! Cons It would be great if the ATS pipeline was slightly more customizable so we could change the stage titles, but this is just one small note on an otherwise very easy to use system. Review Source GK Gurveena K. Executive Recruitment Consultant Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "“The Livelist is a brilliant piece of kit”" February 28, 2019 5.0 A very well developed software for any recruitment business out there who's ready for a change. Pros Livelist: unique way of presenting candidates to clients, very cool. Never seen a feature like this in any other CRMs. It’s easy to use and ensures that the communication between recruiter and the client is very well set up so that you can keep track of what your client is doing throughout the whole process of selecting the right candidate for the role. Velocity is definitely a big plus for me, easy way to add data without a lot of work, able to source the candidate so we know where they are coming from and they have a fabulous support team. Cons This is a brain picker really, it's a tough one right now as I can't think of anything to say well done. Review Source RF Robert F. Recruiting Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keep up the good work team Vincere " June 26, 2019 5.0 Great - keep up the good work. Pros 1\. I like that I can click on a contact and the profile slides out from the right side and we can still see the contacts we have with the company. 2. I like under activities, we can easily switch between the notes for Contact and Candidate profile. Overall I like the system a lot - keep up the good work! Cons 1\. If I right click on a name and try to open in a new tab, it is blocked. 2. The "brief" looks like there is script coding (or something) in it on an occasion. I have to sift through it to find the actual information.
