AvaHR Reviews

“Simple app and vigilant support team

Pros

I am impressed by how simple the app is to use. Whenever I've had a question the team responds quickly and helps iron out any issues so they get fixed fast. They're genuinely great to work with.

Cons

I don't get any email notifications when applicants submit their applications which means I can miss new applicants unless I check the app manually.

“Impressed by simple interface and support

Pros

I've been using it for just over a week now and so far I'm really impressed with it. The interface is simple and it fixed the issues we were running into with Indeed without costing much. What has stood out the most is the sales and customer support , they're consistently helpful and follow up very well. Whenever I've had a question they responded promptly and made sure everything was taken care of which I truly appreciate.

Cons

Some of the fields for posting jobs are limited and could use additional selections to better reflect certain roles. For instance, after I pointed out to the sales representative that "manufacturing" wasn't available in the industry dropdown, they were quick to add it the next day.

“Consistently friendly & professional support

Pros

I've relied on their support , they're consistently available and always both friendly and professional.

Cons

I struggled to get started when coming from another HR program.

“Fantastic step-by-step guidance

Pros

The customer support was fantastic and I received step-by-step guidance throughout so my post would be as impactful as possible.

Cons

It's a solid service but I wish it were easier for me to promote sponsored posts across some of the integrated platforms.

“amazing website!

Pros

the website is very simple to use and I have plenty of choices when it comes to configuring different positions.

Cons

the huge number of customization options for job postings ends up making the process tedious and surprisingly time-consuming.

“works for me

Pros

One thing I like is that it distributes my job posting to many different sites at once.

Cons

I keep receiving applications that come with no resume or any other details attached.

“very easy with automatic posting

Pros

It is extremely user friendly and what I appreciate is that it automatically posts my job adverts across several job boards, using important keywords so they appear in search results. I've had excellent results finding candidates and it's been simple to track and organize them inside the platform smoothly.

Cons

I'd love to see more features added, for example asynchronous video interview functionality would be really useful.

“Responsible for nearly all our hires

Pros

Before VivaHR, I was paying another service thousands of dollars each month and getting no results. Since switching, it has been responsible for nearly all of my hires!

Cons

Honestly there is not much I dislike, what trips me up is tracking which source a candidate came from , locating each candidate's source is confusing and I likely just need to dive into the documentation more.

“Saves my time

Pros

I appreciate that it can publish my listing across several job boards simultaneously, saving me time.

Cons

There are several steps I have to complete before I can post a job and I'd love it if the tool guided me through a clear step-by-step process.

“easy tracking with some glitches

Pros

Its very easy to keep track of candidates and I value that I can tailor what details we gather about each person. Our team finds the built-in questionnaires really useful and I like that we can message applicants directly inside the platform. Moving people from applicant through each hiring stage to an eventual hire is simple. We've also seen strong applicant flow and managed to hire thirteen people in the past six months.

Cons

Occasionally the system is awkward when I'm trying to separate candidates who are disqualified from those still progressing through the workflow. I often have to click through several screens to find the applicants who are active and it can be cumbersome to go from an email notifying me of a new submission to viewing that person's full application. They've fixed some problems already but it still gives me the impression of a fairly new company that's continuing to develop the underlying technology for the product.

“Excellent tool to use

Pros

I find the website very simple to use and easy to keep up with!

Cons

the verification step took longer than I expected.

“Shows our values to filter candidates

Pros

When applicants can review our values and culture profile, I find it makes it much easier to filter out candidates who are not a fit.

Cons

I'd love for this to connect with several of the other tools we use because I often have to switch between platforms.

“Affordable and simple solution

Pros

Personally I love the affordable pricing, how simple it is to use and that it lets me post to more than fifty different boards.

Cons

the customer service is lacking and I was not able to get an onboarding session scheduled.

“Easy multi-board posting

Pros

I really like that it makes it easy to post to multiple job boards with just one simple posting.

Cons

Because we operate in Central Time, I sometimes struggle to get ads posted before the 4 or 5pm EST Friday cutoff which can be frustrating.
