Reviews of NEOGOV
Easy and fluid to use
Comments: Overall very positive compared to other ATS systems I've seen and used.
Pros:
We use most of the NEOGOV features and they all work pretty seamlessly. The dashboards are easy to read and navigate to more refined details.
Cons:
Some things feel a little buried where it feels like I'm digging through several screens to get where I'm going.
Alternatives Considered:
Enterprise system
Comments: NEOGOV continues to get better and better. They listen to feedback!
Pros:
Integration and customer service is great. NEOGOV listens to feedback.
Cons:
NEOGOV still requires multiple steps so it has opportunity to reduce its complexity. I would love to see a full integration with government finance and budget systems in the future.
Improvements and ease would benefit
Comments: For now- we use insight and on boarding so it’s somewhat easy
Pros:
It is very Organized and numerous options available to make life easier at work
Cons:
Every portion of it is costly or you need one product in order to use the another
Alternatives Considered:
pretty Happy about it!
Comments: It has improved over the yrs. I like that
Pros:
Information is easy to navigate to. Reporting and analytics has definitely improved
Cons:
All the info I'm looking for in reporting is not there. Such as applications referred is not on the lists. You can not print the supplemental questions on the "print posting". Can't copy and paste the supplemental questions. Can't copy supplemental questions within your questions. When you add supplemental questions, they dont go in the bank.
Amazing One Stop Shop Software to meet all your applicant and employee needs!!
Comments: I have thoroughly enjoyed implementing numerous products and integrations over the past 10+ years. The CEO is so personable absolutely love seeing Shane at the conferences and the Neogov Staff is so personable and great to work with. Absolutely love our account manager Lindsey Gerber!!
Pros:
One stop shop, easy to use! Neogov has really made it possible to implement module and integration after another to make our hiring processes, evaluations, onboarding, learning, payroll and various other key employee processes possible.
Cons:
Setup process can be lengthy but Neogov Staff so easy to work with.
Highly recommend Neogov!
Comments: Overall very good! The more I learn about the different functions neogov has to offer, the easier it has helped to transition everything on neogov versus having things in separate sites.
Pros:
I like how I am able to customize almost everything about a recruitment from the initial planning to the offer.
Cons:
I don’t like how when I’m on a written exam or oral exam schedule, there’s no button to take me straight back to the recruitment plan. Instead, there’s a button for the evaluation step but not for the exam plan. I sometimes have to go back on the site or open a new tab if I’m trying to check something within the exam plan.
Very Good Platform
Comments: Great system that has many variables that can be leveraged and many more to come.
Pros:
The Insight and OHC modules provide a very efficient and user-friendly workflow for our HR staff, hiring managers, and applicants.
Cons:
Lack of automation where there should be.
Insight review
Comments: I’ve had Insight for 8 years and used to have Onboard but dropped it because it didn’t integrate with our payroll system so there was still a lot of manual data entry.
Pros:
It’s integration with goveernentjobs.com and postings getting picked up by Indeed. As well as auto scoring based on supplemental questions.
Cons:
So so so many clicks and hidden features. It’s really a best that needs taming. Good software should be so intuitive that no training is required.
Neogov Innovation
Comments: Great! Features are easy to use. Innovation makes reports easier
Pros:
The innovation over the years that makes screening easy.
Cons:
Moving candidates from one step to the next. Make this process seamless/ easier for moving candidates
Great Products and Modules
Comments: Happy with products offered. Hoping HRIS will be ready for Personality clients
Pros:
All the different products and modules. Solid customer service.
Cons:
No "package" deals where you can select certain products for one price
Love NeoGov
Comments: Excellent! I have loved the system from insight to now CoreHR and that suite!
Pros:
I love the ease of use and intuitiveness of the entire platform. The cross functionalality between modules is awesome.
Cons:
The cost! Lol lets get this thing for free lol
Alternatives Considered:
Innovation at its finest!!
Comments: Positive! Always there to help! Excited to continue to grow!
Pros:
The innovative ways they look to continue to approve.
Cons:
Nothing! It’s a great product! Looking for ways to improve!
Neogov and Sheriff Offices
Comments: I have been a huge fan for years implementing two additional programs as well as being a reference to other agencies. I love Neogov!
Pros:
The ease of use and the automation of so many processes.
Cons:
Can be difficult to intermingle with other software programs via API
Alternatives Considered:
Neogov Review
Comments: I’ve really enjoyed using NeoGov for my organization. It is user friendly and the support team is awesome.
Pros:
The new dashboard and task. The analytics and now seeing the reqs on the insight side without going to OHC
Cons:
The duplicate email communication and the reporting side. I also wish I could copy/paste on the supplemental questions.
Human Resources Analyst I
Pros:
Easily accessible & updated with features like Time & Attendance that assists streamlining my duties.
Cons:
Modules that lack features that do not allow me to assist customers with their departmental/division processes.
Great ATS - Good UX
Comments: 2 years and an admin - it’s soooo much easier to track and move applicants and I appreciate the scheduling feature!
Pros:
How the entire recruitment can be done in it!
Cons:
Some of the settings make it hard when hiring managers are not involved in the traditional way
Alternatives Considered:
Implementation
Comments: So far so good. Our implementation created a timeline for our go live goal and they’re holding us accountable!
Pros:
Not sure, we’re implementing now. Customer service has been great.
Cons:
Promised something we don’t think they can deliver (now that we’re in implementation)
Neogov Review
Comments: Very positive. This is the second job I've rolled it out too. It's been well received from upper management throughout employee levels.
Pros:
Ease of setup and product support. It has made our department more efficient and lessened the paper burden.
Cons:
Difficulties with system after rollouts or updates. Losing OHC has been difficult and some features are not available on dashboard recruitment.
Works but could be much better with improvements
Comments: Overall it does assist with the candidate tracking, but our agency currently only has onboard, insight, and attract. Our IT person has made plenty of suggestions over the past 10-15 years of improvements but while some of them have been implemented, the majority of them have not. So it feels like we still have to do our own work around to get the off the shelf product to work, which is frustrating at times.
Pros:
Ability to track candidate application, reach out to candidates via attract, and take candidate through applicant lifeline.
Cons:
There are still many improvements to be made that can make this process easier, such as removing the size limit on attachments to the exam plan and allowing us to move the attachments around to sort them vs deleting. There is also no audit trail for attachments and in other areas in which we would like audit trails. These are just a couple examples. The UI could be better as well.
Makes Navigating My Requisitions Easier
Comments: I only use insight, but as the recruiter for a depart of 500+ employees (and as someone new to public sector and NEOGOV) it's made the hiring process steps easier to navigate.
Pros:
Ease of navigating our civil service rules with the system.
Cons:
Clunky at times. Feels outdated. Keeps signing me out after just logging in.
The company for all your needs
Comments: Super spectacular rewarding NEOGOV is all that and a bag of chips!
Pros:
It is always improving and customer service will help you with your needs
Cons:
Not being able to delete old information
Neogov Review - Insight
Comments: Works great for our recruitments and is an easy platform to train people on.
Pros:
The efficiency and how easy it is to learn and navigate. Also, having 10 years of records and data is helpful
Cons:
Not much, just small things like not being able to delete an evaluation step made in error if candidates were sent to that step. Even if the candidates were moved back, still can’t delete the step made in error.
Review of NEOGOV
Comments: Overall NEOGOV gets the job done. It is a cohesive/all in one product that allows entities to use the product for multiple necessary functions.
Pros:
The applicant tracking system, ease of posting positions, the ability to Onboard new employees and assign tasks.
Cons:
There are a few features that could be added. I do not like that there is not an option to merge profiles in Onboard or that there is not an option to update passwords.
NEOGOV Over two agencies
Comments: Over two agencies: overall very good. used very differently at each agency.
Pros:
convenience, having information in one place, ease of use for the candidate.
Cons:
training is high level and broad. so if you weren’t part of the agency’s implementation you are on your own to figure out how the product is being used
Honest Feedback
Comments: Technology can be frustrating sometime, service, and support are fair
Pros:
All in one products, good concept, And good intention
Cons:
Software not stable updates Unreliable and breaks things that NG may not know until user reports, and some of the issues don’t get solved from the root level. Can be very frustrating for the users.
