Generally easy to understand and use. The web-based platform was perfect for us during remote work and continues to be an asset to us.

By far the worst solution experience I've had in 20 years in this industry.

Pros

I liked the idea of NeoGov's single source solution. The reality of the product was a let down.

Cons

What I liked least, apart from the failure of the solution to perform, was the lack of accountability and/or urgency on the NeoGov team to make things right. I got the impression that they were so accustomed to the solution failing that the bar for acceptable performance had fallen to the floor.

Neogov Review

Neogov has a very high learning curve. Once I became proficient - after about 6 to 9 months later - I found the application fairly easy to navigate. However, I learn additional functions regularly as I use it. I am an expert user now, but I have been using it for 5 1/2 years. Our section has 2 other recruiters who have been there for 2 years now. They continue to ask me user questions which I then walk them through. The application is not intuitive. A user needs to know exactly where to go to perform the function they need to perform. The tutorials need to be more detailed and clear as they leave users with questions after they have completed the tutorials.

Pros

Neogov is great once you learn how it works. I like that I can customize job announcements, add point values to questions, and add photos to job announcements. I like the auto-grader if the scoring plan is set up correctly.

I like the dashboard tasks section and that I am notified when a new requisition has been approved.

I like the candidate tracking in OHC since the new update. The visual of the candidate steps on the wheel is helpful.

Cons

The bold, italic and underline capabilities in the supplemental questions has been removed. Also, I can't change the color of the font in either the job posting or the supplemental questions.

Report titles don't really reflect what information the report pulls. I have to open all related reports to find the one I need to use to obtain the information I need.

Options under applicants are in a different order and named differently under applicants for various lists in Insight and OHC.

When entering a hire, with the last OHC update, a tab for approvers now exists. This is confusing for managers as they enter some random name. If the approval section was eliminated, it would be much better for managers and recruiters as recruiters would receive a notification once the hire has been entered and submitted.

User access on the OHC side is confusing for managers. The owner of the requisition is the only one who can upload final recruitment documents. Access for hiring managers as well as the owner would allow anyone who is either to perform necessary functions without have to have HR change the owner.

I have created job announcements with templates that have an incorrect scoring plan, so then the auto-grader doesn't work - it fails all applicants. Then its very time consuming to figure out where the issue is in the scoring plan.

NeoGov's Customer Service is Top Notch

We have been a NEOGOV customer since 2015, and to date, we have purchased Insight/OHC, Onboard, Perform, HRIS (HR), eForms, and Learn. We have rolled out each platform except for LEARN (scheduled for 2022). Each implementation has been great! We've loved working with the implementation consultants.

Pros

NEOGOV provides a full suite of HR products to the public sector to help them run the business of HR. NeoGov understands the particular niche that the government sector occupies when it comes to HR. Their customer service is outstanding, and it demonstrates the value they place on us, the customer.

Cons

So far, there haven't been "least favorite" NEOGOV products. Some are easier to implement than others, but NEOGOV has a ready supply of helpful material and customer support to get us there.

Pros

Ease of use and constant updates to the technology so that it doesn’t become dinosaur software. Receptiveness to suggestions and improvements are built in to NeoGov culture which is a great trait for a company that serves the people that serve the people.

Cons

In general all features could be improved or tailored for a particular agency. I know that NeoGov is working on dynamic responses and I can’t wait for that. I believe it may be a game changer for applications that can appear daunting as they are currently.

Overall, our team really enjoys using NEOGOV. On a daily basis, we use Insight, Onboarding, eForms, Learn, and Perform. Being able to integrate other divisions (IT, payroll, facilities, executives, etc.) who also need access to some of our processes has been critical. Our employees on campus have enjoyed the digitalized methods and has made it possible for our HR team of 7 to be a successful department.

Pros

NEOGOV (or NEOED in our case) has helped streamline onboarding and digitalize our processes.

Cons

Some features aren't extremely intuitive (especially for the end user), but now that the unified dashboard is available we are extremely excited to get that implemented.

Pros

I love that this program is user friendly. At a glance you can see all of the tasks that are due and their due dates. I also love on the admin side all of the data and analytics that are provided for your applicant pool. For EEO reporting this is very useful information.

Cons

Some of my least favorite things about this software is the difficult form builder. Since you can’t upload your forms and make them fillable this this really difficult, and causes forms to not be uniform. It does give you the option to upload your own forms, but there is a disclaimer that the form will be distorted. It would be amazing if this could be fixed.

Still the only software package that allows us to customize the process to our needs

Reviewed on 16/02/2018

Pros

The customization of the product to our organizational needs. Instead of adapting to the way a software package works, we were able to customize the package to our policies and needs.
Customer support is outstanding in the fact that when we contact them with an urgent need, they will work with us until it is resolved.
We have been with High Line since 1999 and have stayed with them after each system review for the functionality that is offered.

Cons

The only complaint we have had is with the Recruitment Module. Being a government organization, it is difficult to counter all of our recruitment needs to follow our ever changing policies.

We went from two different systems into one HR/Payroll system. We gained efficiencies by only have to enter data once into one shared system. We eliminated a lot of human error that occurs when entering the same data twice. We were able to enforce our labor contracts by having only those involved in negotiations implement the updates to the system. We are now able to get real time data out of our payroll system to evaluate expected turnover rates, contract costs and stay current on meeting compliance issues.

Pros

Personality is highly configurable which is important when you have 26 different units that have completely different personnel policies, benefits, salaries and leave schedules that have to be evaluated for each employee, every two weeks during payroll. This configuration can be done by your own employees who are subject matter experts, who understand the macro or micro of your companies business needs. The ease of configuration allows the business owner to make the changes to the software based on their needs and not when the other software company gets you into their queue.

Cons

The color scheme for the test instance and production instance are the same and can lead to issues if you are not careful when working in one and thinking you are in the other. However I understand in the latest version currently being tested this is has become an updateable feature as well.

It meets our needs as an applicant tracking system. There are other pieces that would make our lives easier but for the most part, it provides the non-negotiable elements we need to be effective in our organization.

Pros

I really like the ability of the system to help facilitate our merit testing process. It gives the ability to attach weights to the various components of the testing process and removes the need to manually manage these calculations. It provides a good audit trail to help provide transparency and also allows us to manage the candidates through the entire recruitment life cycle. The ability to self schedule testing/interviews is great too.

Cons

I feel their customer service is lacking a bit. When they check in, it doesn't feel as though they actually listen to your concerns. I have had meetings in the past to discuss our experience and takeaways were never followed through with (e.g., NeoGov was to send us a document or pass along concerns). I understand enhancements are not always possible but would appreciate more transparent communication.

I also think their customer service team rocks! Every time I have reached out to them, they have helped me resolve my issues immediately.

Cons

There are some areas that are still pretty clunky and could be improved by simple things like autopopulating a field. For instance needing two windows open to complete a job form to cut and paste an applicant email address, or user information that I've inputted multiple times before.

Made processing payroll much easier. My favorite process is trial calcs. We used to spend a lot of time figuring employees pay. Now it's a click of a finger

Pros

Once set up, processing payroll is quite easy to accomplish. User calcs run behind the scene to make even the most complicated payroll process quite nicely. Data entry is quick and easy. Pulling up information happens at the snap of a finger, so to speak.

Cons

Setting up the program is difficult for the non techie. User calcs must be written to make the system do more complicated calculations that are required to ensure payroll is prepared properly. Definitely requires a computer tech to maintain this system.

I like that we can customize the software to accommodate 5+ different employee groups which have different payroll rules/collective agreements.

This software allows the user to make changes to remain compliant with legislation changes, collective agreement changes, etc.
