"Easy to Learn, Reliable, and Packed with Custom Reports & Automation"
What do you like best about Sova?

That it's very easy to learn how to use and getting so much reports to your liking or needs. It is easy to integrate with other tools, doesn't crash at all, and you can get all the products that available in the portal for just one credit. The support team always solves problems as soon as they heard about it. The scoring automation helps with eliminate the candidates without any labour by human. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

The analytics tab should be more in depth. For example one should filter the exact dates in the graphics section and should see the usage by graphics as well other than just excel reporting. Because the excel usage doesn't shows in progress or invited candidate number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and Efficient Candidate Assessment Tool"
What do you like best about Sova?

I find Sova to be really time efficient, as it simplifies the process of communicating with candidates and scoring them one by one. I also like that it's simple enough to use and doesn't require me to be tech savvy. The online assessing or the digital assessment spot is really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

I need to juggle between the types of results or candidates. To reset the application, I need to use the results tab, but to send another email to the candidate, I need to use the candidate's tab. So the juggling between both of them isn't always as good. And also, not having the ability to add a new email template, I can only edit the existing ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Assessments with Stellar Support"
What do you like best about Sova?

I like that Sova helps us to understand the personality traits of job applicants, allowing us to tailor our interviews to get to know them better, which helps us hire people with the values and potential we need. I appreciate the great customer service; they are always available to support. I also value Sova's clear and easy-to-understand pricing model, and the personal attention to our organization's needs provides us better value for money. The initial setup of Sova was very easy. They handled everything, provided training, and built our branded platform quickly with minimal input from us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

Downloading reports involves them being sent to your email. It would be easier if they could be downloaded in the browser and avoid the email. This is a very small issue, nothing major! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Candidate Selection with User-Friendly Interface"
What do you like best about Sova?

I use Sova to review candidate online assessments and video interviews, and manage the assessment center. I appreciate the simple and easy-to-understand user interface. The new update regarding assessment center setup has been particularly helpful, allowing us to make changes during ongoing sessions and assign different assessor numbers to specific activities. Additionally, the VLO team's assistance made the initial setup easy and helped us move forward faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

The new Sova assessment for logical and aptitude is on the difficult side, which resulted in lower top score candidates for our new project and is slowing our shortlisting effort. I'd like to see the difficulty levels of test problems adjusted according to the level of the role we're hiring for, like the current apprenticeship project, where candidates mostly have A-levels and are not that academically skilled.

"Easy Image Personality Questionnaire with Insightful, Actionable Feedback"
What do you like best about Sova?

the image personality questionnaire is very easy to be made and the feedback report contains useful info like improvement tips Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

For certain projects where we have a larger number of candidates (35+), we still need to manually consolidate the results in an Excel file, record the score for each competency, and then sort candidates based on the highest scores. This process can take several hours of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Interview Management with Accurate Reporting"
What do you like best about Sova?

I like that Sova provides a whole report feature, which is very good because it saves us from having to manually take notes. The feedback reports it generates are particularly helpful because candidates often ask about their feedback, and Sova automates this process. This is really helpful since it means we don't have to draft emails and send feedback manually. Additionally, the initial setup of Sova was really easy and smooth, which I appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

Sometimes it does not generate the scores properly, and we have to go manually and see their interviews to score them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strong Capacity Tests, but Swedish Report Translations Need Sharpening"
What do you like best about Sova?

I like Sova’s capacity tests. For me, as someone who recruits for both technical and commercial positions, it’s important that you don’t only measure logical skills, since numeric and verbal capacity are just as essential as traditional logic skills for being successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

Sometimes the translations in the reports into my most-used language, Swedish, aren’t as sharp as the English descriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Evolving Platform with Strong Potential"
What do you like best about Sova?

As far as I know, the platform has evolved over the last three years. It has introduced many features that weren’t there earlier when it was first introduced to us, and I see strong potential for it to continue evolving further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

The SOVA extracts could be a bit clearer. It would also be better if we could choose exactly what we want included in the report we’re extracting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful tool for Talent Assessment"
What do you like best about Sova?

SOVA’s customer support is incredibly nice, supportive, and quick to help resolve problems. SOVA also offers a lot of customization for the materials used in Talent Assessment. The candidate interface is easy to follow, and the assessment options available to interviewers are great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

The SOVA interface can be a bit challenging when it comes to user-friendliness. Some features aren’t very intuitive, and I often have to dig around a bit to find what I’m looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Interface, but Video Issues Persist"
What do you like best about Sova?

I use Sova at a company to review internship candidates. I can see a recording of the candidates, which helps in the review process. I find it has a clear interface and is very intuitive, making it easy to use. The labeling system is okay. It was pretty easy to start using it, and on a scale from 1 to 10, I would recommend Sova with a 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sova?

Often the candidates' videos are bugged; they don't play at all, and I don't know if it's Sova's fault or candidates' fault, but yeah I had technical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
