Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Pros:

I like that it gives you the ability to set bid prices for candidates on a job-level basis. This is helpful as you can make dynamic decisions on how to spend your budget.

Cons:

The platform is not entirely intuitive. This led to an issue where we overspent on a job posting during our 1st week of implementation. However, the team was quick to respond and help rectify the situation.

Pros:

Integration was super easy with our HRIS. All I did was click a button.

Cons:

Reasons for choosing Appcast

Offered a trial period, cost, business model

Reasons for switching to Appcast

Talent.com was not bringing us the applicants we needed. It was too new of a company that it didn't offer many features and we didn't get a lot of data regarding our postings and where they could be found. Appcast is very transparent with their data.

Hi Alicia - Thank you for the review! We're so happy to hear you're loving Appcast. We look forward to our continued partnership.

Pros:

Honestly, my favorite part is that it actually works. It can handle high volume job postings, and meet your spend needs without sacrificing quality in regards to applicants. It makes my job easier- once you are set up and have figured out the best titles etc. to use, it will perform and help you reach your recruiting goals.

Cons:

I have no complaints about the current software, but I would like to see some additional features as it would be helpful for my overall recruiting. For example, adding paid search for Google.

My Experience of Appcast

Appcast is completely in line with how I want to manage my clients advertising strategy & budget. The biggest mistake employers make is doing the same thing and hoping for different results. Using Appcast means that you and break away from 'the normal' and find new routes to your target audience

Pros:

Hands down best element is the customer service and support from our representatives. They take the time to explain strategy and performance. The integration works well with UKG and we have had minimal issues since implementation.

Cons:

With the quick apply option, there is a bit of information that does not come over, but this is common for quick apply. It is hard to hold a candle to Indeed performance.
