The platform's ability to centralize candidate management, provide detailed analytics, and offer a seamless experience from job posting to onboarding are commonly mentioned as strengths. > > **Cons**: I think i liked everything however, I have noted that the pricing structure and additional costs for certain features can be a consideration. Some users also express preferences for more advanced customization options in specific functionalities. It's advisable to review current user feedback or contact Softgarden directly for the most up-to-date information on any potential concerns. > > The platform is often praised for its user-friendly interface, customizable features, and comprehensive suite of tools that contribute to a more streamlined and organized talent acquisition process. For a firsthand perspective, it's recommended to explore user reviews or consider a trial of Softgarden. ----- ### "Administrator experience" — 4.0/5 > **Karin** | *11 September 2020* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, additional plug-ins such as CV parsing, Video conferencing, interfaces to jobportals. Regular helpdesk support is timely and effective. > > **Cons**: My top 3 points: 1. Creating job ads is cumbersome at times. If you don't follow a detailed procedure, you have to go all the way back to the beginning to e.g. copy the Job ID. 2. Also I would prefer "automatic" saving. Though I am an advanced user, I lost data at times because I forgot to save it. 3. The in-built reporting feature is user-friendly. However, I'd prefer being able to extract all data to run my own analysis. > > Nice, user-friendly application supporting mainstream recruiting needs. What I really like and appreciate is having the opportunity to discuss my specific customer needs with a Sr. Support Representative who is not only extremely knowledgeable but also very responsive providing effective solutions in a very timely manner. ----- ### "I would not change it to any other software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Maja** | *11 July 2022* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: After three years of using softgarden, I can confirm without hesitation that this system fully meets the needs of recruiting and building a positive corporate image\! The most significant advantage of softgarden ATS is that it can be fully personalized for the organization, and there are no limits on the most critical functionalities (number of users, workflows, roles, messages). Such solutions make the work of recruiters easier and more efficient, especially if there are several of them in the organization and each runs different processes. In addition, softgarden offers a module for creating a customized career page and an employee referral module, which can be easily implemented in the company. Such solutions enable HR Departments to build and nurture a positive employer image outside and inside the organization. All solutions offered by softgarden show that the company can adapt to the ever-evolving role of the HR Department and that it recognizes and responds to newly emerging needs in this area. The icing on the cake of working with softgarden is the individual account manager who is always available and able to find a solution to any challenge. I am completely satisfied with my choice of softgarden and would not change it to any other software\! > > **Cons**: It works very well for us; I don't have any comments. ----- ### "Great Success" — 4.0/5 > **Tamar** | *28 April 2021* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is very user-friendly and intuitive as confirmed by hiring managers and other colleagues involved in selection processes in the organisation after 6+ months of introduction and roll-out (very popular features are in particular internal requests for approval of new requisitions and the interview scorecard to facilitate assessment of candidacies). The implementation was a very smooth process thanks also to the excellent customer support at Softgarden. Feedback to follow-up questions is always very quick and helpful and requests for customization are also considered and (where possible) realized. > > **Cons**: The Softgarden Shop including the recruitment advertisement channels with a direct interface could be expanded to include more recruitment advertisement channels especially if these are channels highly relevant and frequently used by the hiring organisation (as also depending on the market operating in, in terms of both profiles hired for and desired reach both nationally and internationally). The integration with LinkedIn as very important recruitment channel for many organisations could be more seamless and it is understood that updates here will be available soon. > > The main benefits of implementation for the organisation were/are GDPR compliant management of applicant data, more sophisticated recruitment data analytics, an enhanced candidate experience and efficiency gains in the process overall. In terms of the features and functionalities offered by the software it is advisable to check in advance to what extent specific features and functionalities considered critical for the hiring organisation are already available and/or can be added and/or further customized, to be in line with internal processes highly dependant on the organisational context and as such more individual. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/334587/softgarden?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/334587/softgarden) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
