I need some help...

I am looking for anyone in the staffing industry that would be willing to advise me on the multiple choices of staffing software out there today. The company I work for is in need of changing our front end software and there are so many to choose from, which of all seem to have similar functions and look. I am having a hard time weeding out which one would best fit our needs. The problems I am facing are all the software out there seems to be sooo advanced technilogically, that I am not quite sure if some of our staff would be able to manuever in it (and yes I'm sure some of you are probably laughing, saying to yourself...."How could you have such tech challenged individuals working for you?"), I cannot answer that, I didn't hire them, also the ability of our info being able to be migrated from our old software to the new, what is the preferred Server Base (i.e. Web-Based or Client-Based servers), Technical Support--I cannot stress how important this is to our company. I guess I am just looking for some feedback from anyone willing to share.....What is the TOP staffing software out there and WHY? What makes it stand out from the rest? If anyone could throw me a line, express their opinion or even if they've done the research, I would greatly appreciate it. P.S. I would prefer to here from clients using staffing software, NOT a Staffing Software Vendor. Thanks

I have used several ATS at some of the bigger companies I have been with, and find that PeopleClick is very, very easy, with great tech support.

In my small personal office I have used different ATS also. Most recently I used PCRecruiter and they offer both a boxed software and a web-based version. The web-based version will connect to your website for online job posting.

There are also several free versions of ATS. One is www.smartrecruiters.com that I am currently trying. It seems very easy to use, not as detailed at PCRecruiter, but you may not need detail.

I appreciate the referrals that have been posted so far, but maybe I was a little vague in stating a "Front End Program". What I am looking for is more than an ATS, I am looking for an ATS, CRM, Invoice Generating Front End Software, with capabilities of integrating with our already current back end accounting program. But I need something that is a little less into over the top technology and focuses more on just the basics. If anyone out there has an opinion or any advice on that kind of software, I am all eyes and ears......:)
