YES to Ducknowl
I use Ducknowl everyday now to screen candidates. My phone calls have been trimmed down to only 5 minutes per call. Ducknowl does the rest for me. It can be hard to get candidates to do the tests, but the platform now has a feature that will automatically send reminders to the candidates to complete the screenings. I love how time efficient it is and I've improving my number of hires.
CONSI would like to the option to be able to stop the video and drag to start from anywhere. Sometimes I miss what they say in the video answer and instead of being able to go back a few seconds, I have to wait for the the rest of the video to play out and then restart from the beginning. This is such a small detail though! Because this platform has worked wonders for me

Outstanding candidate screener
For my company, I conduct asynchronous interviews using Ducknowl. Field sales reps are employed by our organization, and because of our performance criteria and sales KPIs, turnover can occasionally be high. I send prospective employees using Ducknowl seven simple questions to screen them for employment appropriateness in accordance with our hiring requirements. I'm quite grateful for this software's adaptability. Candidates that made it beyond our initial screenings have expressed their gratitude for the interview screener's respect for their time.
PROSI enjoy how this software can access and weed out prospective employees for employment needs. It has effectively streamlined the hiring procedure at my company.
CONSI can honestly say that using this fantastic program, which has greatly increased our hiring efficiency, has not had any negative effects on me.

Great product for improving efficiency!
Overall, this has been a positive experience. The team responds quickly, values feedback, offers suggestions, and they have a great product. I'm very pleased with Ducknowl.
PROSThe video interview is my favorite feature. I also like that I can include links for video job descriptions and promos for our company. It's easy to use, easy to share candidate profiles with hiring managers, and convenient. It's great to have our job postings on our website, updated in real time. The system is user-friendly and the company is responsive to requests. They are always willing to take the time to walk you through. They're great!
CONSI would like to see this as a full-on applicant tracking system (ATS); it's well on its way. I would make a few tweaks, such as customizing the drop down menus for candidate categories, changing/hiding the job posting date, and being able to download the candidate resume from the platform instead of email.
Reason for choosing Ducknowl
Pricepoint was the primary driver for choosing Ducknowl. The software is intuitive, user friendly, great customer service, and I'm able to do my job well using this product.

DucknOwl Saved Countless Hours
As a small business owner, my time is critical. In the past I've spent countless hours sifting through resumes or interviewing candidates that would I ultimately did not hire. The video interview process alone helped to significantly reduce the number of candidates that made it to the interview process, that were unqualified.Many of my communications with candidates were automated, and the resume selection process was a breeze. I'd estimate Ducknowl saved me a full 40 hour work week of needless resume search and interviews!
PROSThe features (resume ranking, video interviews etc.) are well thought out solutions that have been haunting our business' hiring productivity for the better part of a year. Simply put, we feel more confident in our hiring decision, in less time than it has taken us to come to a decision in the past.
CONSHonestly. This process was so much of an improvement of our previous process, its difficult to consider any cons.
