Comparison Eolia vs Marvin recruit: What ATS for your office?

The choice of an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) depends on the firm's profile, its internal organization, and its growth strategy. Eolia Software, a long-established tool in the market, is geared towards organizations that require established processes. Marvin, on the other hand, positions itself as a modern solution designed for firms seeking efficiency and automation. This comparison offers an analysis of both approaches.

Eolia: a solution used in complex environments

Origin and positioning of Eolia

Founded in 2003, Eolia Software's ATS + CRM is a French solution designed for managing customized projects. The tool is often integrated into environments where recruitment processes are already established and need to be consolidated within a single software application. It is particularly useful in multi-site contexts, with predefined workflows and specific interfacing requirements.

Eolia's main features

Eolia offers a set of modules to cover different aspects of recruitment:

• Application and offer management;
• Candidate pools;
• Career sites;
• Monitoring of recruitment campaigns;
• Multi-criteria search engine;
• Integration is possible with job boards or third-party tools.

Why do recruiters choose Marvin recruit?

The features offered by Eolia address key needs in the daily work of a recruiter.

Marvin, however, is much more than an ATS + CRM: it's a true recruitment ERP , designed to manage all the activities of a recruitment agency or HR department. Designed for the entire team – management, sourcing, sales, administration – the platform unifies processes in a single, fluid, powerful, and collaborative environment.

To effectively source the right candidates

Marvin transforms your database into a truly active resource. Rather than starting from scratch for every need, the tool leverages your existing resources through data enrichment, cleaning, and structuring technologies:

• Automatic merging of duplicates: a clean database, without duplicates, for better utilization.
• AI-powered CV parsing: automated extraction of experiences, skills and keywords.
• Intelligent search: an engine that combines enriched data and historical exchanges to identify the best profiles.
• LinkedIn synchronization: centralization of messages for complete tracking of interactions.

From the moment of onboarding, our technical team performs a complete audit of your database, to make it an operational lever from the outset.

To develop and maintain the client portfolio

Marvin connects the sales cycle to the recruitment cycle in a single space. The tool facilitates prospecting, customer follow-up, and sales conversion, without the need for external tools:

• Automated campaigns for sourcing AND prospecting.
• Integrated CRM to centralize communication and follow up effectively.
• Synchronization with Aircall, Kaspr or Noota, to find your favorite tools within the same environment.

Consultants and sales representatives have a shared workspace to manage their activity, with a clear view of the project pipeline and opportunities. Each user can independently track their pipeline, while managers have a comprehensive overview to make decisions, prioritize tasks, and better streamline processes across teams.

To create commercial performance

With Marvin, data becomes a performance driver. The interface centralizes all actions – sourcing, customer relations, mission tracking – to improve fluidity and efficiency:

• A customizable and interconnected interface, adapted to the roles and priorities of each individual.
• Integrated invoicing to track services and generate documents with one click.
• KPI tracking to manage activity in real time, without re-entry.

UX designed beyond sourcing allows for continuity in all business uses: it supports both commercial development and operational management, without any break in experience.

For management and human resources

Marvin facilitates collaboration between team members and addresses the structuring challenges of firms and companies:

• Multi-user view, with adapted roles (manager, consultant, sourcer, salesperson, etc.).
• An evolving tool, continuously enriched by user feedback.
• A roadmap focused on innovation and AI, with regular updates to support digital transformation. (Discover the 2025 Roadmap)

Marvin goes beyond sourcing: it creates a true continuity between business, operational, and human considerations . Every activity finds its place, every user their bearings, and every piece of data has its purpose. Its user experience, designed for all profiles, supports everyone in their daily work with clarity and efficiency.

The tool allows for the pooling of knowledge, the alignment of practices, and ensures consistent management across the entire organization.

And because AI is not just a conversational assistant, Marvin integrates it directly into its features: intelligent matching, data enrichment, automated recommendations… The power of artificial intelligence is made operational, concrete and transparent , so that users can benefit from it without changing their habits .
