We love Appcast
The reps that we work with are great. They listed to our needs and are helpful at offering solutions. They have even made suggestions that we didn't think about and put in to place.
PROSIntegration was super easy with our HRIS. All I did was click a button.
CONSWe only give a portion of our budget to Appcast so we're not really using it to its full capability. There is nothing to dislike so far.
Reason 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.

Quality Applicants, Great Reporting and Exceptional Customer Service
I love working with Appcast, because they truly have an exceptional team who will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals, as well as a great product.
PROSHonestly, 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.
CONSI 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.

Great tool - Not for us
The sales and support team were 12/10. Incredible to deal with. The concept of the tool is also fantastic.
CONSWhile it was a great concept and may work well for others, this tool was not yielding the results we expected.
Reasons for switching to Appcast
We wanted to try out a new tool that would attract new candidates.

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
PROSI like being able to take my clients vacancies to the 'whole' market. It adds a lot of value to my service and means I can deliver quality applications at a good price.I find it very easy to use and therefore easy to explain to a client.
CONSIt'd be great to see candidate applications in the system so I can check on quality
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Rowan! We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we're happy to hear we hit the mark for you. We look forward to our continued partnership.

The Delta Companies - Review
Appcast has brought us many wonderful candidates who we've successfully placed over these past few years. To us, Appcast is a hidden gem! We really appreciate the job ad exchanges which allows our jobs to be seen on sites that we may not typically parter with.
PROSIntegration with Bullhorn, our account manager and his exceptional communication, state expansions, and reporting.
CONSNot being able to control the quality of applies that come through. These past few months we've noticed a massive spike in spam applies which ultimately has us hit budget early on in the month.

App Cast the Net
Good tool. Fully automated system. Good alternative to Indeed.
PROSWe use Appcast to advertise on many platforms all at once. It definitely generates lots of applications quickly. Great for low level roles and volume recruiting.
CONSThere is no branding. We get a lot of meaningless applications but we still have to pay for them. It is not relevant for specialist or high level roles.

Increased candidate flow
Overall it has increased candidate flow for hard to fill jobs by reaching candidates through job boards other than indeed for us.
PROSGreat customer support through our account manager. They were able to piggy back off the same Indeed hashtags we're already using in our job descriptions which makes it easy to sponsor posts for hard to fill requisitions.
CONSIt's hard to control spending when you have a high volume of reqs. Some jobs may take up a big portion of your budget and rack up a lot of your budgeted dollars just to one req.

Great customer service and decent results
We have reached a wider audience by using Appcast and we have gained valuable strategy options. We are very satisfied with what Appcast has given us.
PROSHands 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.
CONSWith 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.

Excellent support staff

Programmatic Recruiting is the future
Great tool to help us market and manage our candidate flow. Programmatic recruitment has turned traditional recruiting on its head! Best thing to happen to recruiting since the internet!
PROSGreat for giving my team the time and resources to do active recruiting instead of spending their time monitoring and managing job postings. Takes away the need to manage our stats and evaluate our progress. This does it all for us while giving us the reach necessary to find candidates for our difficult to fill positions.
