Flowcase

Avantages

Easy to get up and running. We managed to roll out CV Partner to all our employees without any planning or initial training. The ability to fully customise our templates to our exact design was very impressive. Their support is unparalleled.

We appreciate their ISO 27001 security certificate, as it shows their focus on securing our data.

Inconvénients

Their features are great and easy to use, though some UX issues ought to be resolved (not always intuitive). However, they improve continuously, so I assume/hope they will be fixed soon.

Avantages

How easy it is to add content in different languages, and tailor it to specific proposals so that they are more aligned what the client is asking for. It is also really great for mass producing CVs for larger teams on the same template, giving a really professional look and feel. I've used CV Partner for 5+ years and it has saved us a ton of time, while also helping us win bids. Highly recommended!

Inconvénients

It would be great if we could integrate it with our CRM tools, but this option is limited due to internal security. I can some times get a bit lost in my many variations of the same experience, but this is easily fixed by removing redundant versions.

Avantages

Integration between Credentials and CV.
Possible to make several tailormade summaries

Inconvénients

There is still not an oportunity to anchor each credential to a particular summary. We have asked for this for years, and was promissed that this will come, but nothing has happened since then.

Avantages

The masterdata function - and the transparancy for all employees.
The possiliby to tailor each cv to a particular tender is great - having more than one version of a CV.

Inconvénients

I believe that the competence report is not so user friendly.
The system does not allow us to undertake GAP analysis, on competencies as we cannot input expected level of competencies per role.

Avantages

CV database and cooporation with referencedatabase - easy acces to company data

Inconvénients

The translation part is not automatic and give some challenges when you are a large company with many nationalities.

Avantages

It is a platform where I know our CVs are future-proof. It is easy to fill in the blanks. We can now, with confidence, know that we have everything we need in our CVs.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a feature for adding relevant hobby projects as well.

Avantages

That it existed as a stand alone CV and project database, with all the features we required

Inconvénients

I'm not sure there is a "downside". Perhaps would have like to be able to customise some of the language (headings) a bit more to reflect the common terminology we already used. Pretty minor really.

Avantages

I really like how quickly I can change the CV template from one proposal response to another. The functionality CV Partner provides for us to quickly add the staff I want to include in my proposal, customize the experience to match the staffing requirements from the RFP, and export out to out company specific template has saved our team a lot of time.

Inconvénients

Although each CV has a time stamp on when the CV was last updated, it would be nice to see who updated that CV and the changes made. As an Administrator for this software, I am often making updates to bios on a consultant's behalf and it would be nice to have a way in CV Partner to track the changes and who made the update. This would help us ensure our consultants are making yearly updates as well.

Avantages

CV Partner offers easy access for all users and gives us all CVs and references within the same business standard

Inconvénients

CV Partner still have some possible improvements to make, like option for sorting competencies in a users CV.

Avantages

A easy to use tool that makes my job, managing and overseeing my colleges work on their cv, even more easy.

Inconvénients

You need to spend some time in the beginning to decide upon common terminology.

Avantages

Although not tailored, it feels like CVPartner was indeed tailored to fit exactly our needs. The master CV feature where you store the entire CV and only choose what parts you want to export is making our job much more efficient. In the past we have had a directory of one-pager CVs where information kept getting lost. Also having one database where our entire organizations skills and experiences are stored (with a very user-friendly search-function) is extremely valuable. Not to mention the proposal function where you can tailor and store tailored versions of CVs and feed parts of it back to your master CV ensures that our overall CV-quality is increasing. Being able to program different CV-templates in CVPartner has also been a real help. My experience with CVPartner is that they are extremely agile and responsive.

Inconvénients

The current features are more or less optimal for our use, however in the future, being able to integrate CVPartner closer with our systems to see i.e availability would be ideal.

Avantages

The product is easy to use, to understand, both for users and administrators. The result is a professional consultant profile. Our customers and partners appreciate the layout and the design of the CV´s.

Inconvénients

I am missing the category Branch, but overall I think CV partner has what we need.

Avantages

CV Partner has a super easy user interface, a great search engine and useful features.

Inconvénients

n/a

Avantages

-Intuitive and easy to use.
-One place to save both cv's and references.
-Digital cv's makes tailoring easy and the fact that you can print it in many different templates saves us a lot of time.
-Great search functionality that help us find the right resources

Inconvénients

-The interface between company projects and the personal cv could be better
- The solution for clients and references when you use multiple languages has room for improvement
- The viewing of Norwegian and English is very different between the cv's and the references and not as locical as the rest

Avantages

Easy migration from Word-documents. Good template functionality. Searching is decent.

Inconvénients

Search functionality could be smarter, for instance not having to select what you are searching for. More detailed master data management, for instance changing "priority" or the order the keywords/master data appear in so it's unified between resumes.

Avantages

Easy management of out profiles and resumees

Inconvénients

could be event better for custom templates export to pdf
(fonts images etc).

Avantages

Great Product . Easy to use. Very easy to maintain CVs.

Inconvénients

Should be easier to Change profile/layout on CVs

Avantages

We see a lot of advantages in using the product. For example, the functions of seeking in databases and connect CV:s with Reference Projects. And of course it is nice when all our CV:s have the same layout and the same content.

Inconvénients

We are not quite satsified with the product regarding for example headlines, we can not use our own headlines. And then we had to write instructions for the user and it was a bit complicated for them in the start.

Avantages

It is a SaaS solution, and no installation is required. With the APIs, it's possible to extract data, e.g. the competence profiles into other HR systems. Custom templates in Word and Powerpoint save us a lot of manual work.

Inconvénients

Adding additional categories of custom fields is a bit tricky, but not a problem.

Avantages

Ease of use and powerful search functionality.

Inconvénients

Some features are missing that would make the system even smarter, but they're on their way
