An intuitive platform which improves the recruitment process for all involved

Functionality

Pros:

The platform is intuitive to use and walks you through the process to make sure your hiring is efficiently done but is also focused on reducing bias in the process. We have found the use of sift questions, along with the functionality to add review guides, incredibly helpful. The applicant tracking and moving applicants between hiring stages is extremely easy and quick - it's great we can manage interviews via Applied and have this link to our GCal. The experience for applicants is positive with useful scoring being shared with every applicant so they have helpful feedback.

Cons:

Occasionally we discover a feature with a small bug (such as duplicating questions from previous interview rounds which couldn't be edited). However, the tech team are responsive and we haven't found any blockers to our use of the platform.

Reasons for choosing Applied

The focus on debiasing recruitment, the candidate experience and applicant management.

Vendor Response

Hi Hayley, thanks for your thorough review of Applied; we're pleased you enjoy using it as much as we do! We have a brilliant engineering team who strive to fix bugs as quickly as possible, but if you come across any more, please let us know. The support team is on hand to help, and we're always looking to understand where we can improve! Thanks, Lauren

The most efficient and fair way to recruit

Be Applied has really increased my productivity and time management by having everything in one place and being able to run reports and statistics for the organisation. It was a very big cultural shift in the organisation and still for some candidates to go from CV's to a more forward thinking approach but it has definitely been for the better.

Functionality

Pros:

Be Applied has completely changed the way we recruit at London Sport. Not only is it efficient but it is effective. We receive higher quality applications and we are able to use the sift questions to see a candidate's potential in the role. It also reduces barriers to any unconscious biased happening when scoring and allows more diverse people to apply knowing they are not being judged based on their sensitive data.

Cons:

If there was a notification tool that could send reminders or update us with candidates that have applied or when key milestones are coming up in the recruitment process that would be an added extra but not vital.

Vendor Response

Hi Laureece, thanks for your kind review; we're thrilled that Applied works so well for you and your company. We know it can take time for people to change, but it's great that you're seeing the fruits of your labour! Thanks for the recommendation for improvement; I'll pass your comments back to our product team. Thanks, Lauren

Couldn't be without it, it helps me enormously manage volume campaigns in an unbiased way. I'm answerable and accountable to my organisation, so a system like this helps explain what we do and why with clear comms around DEI

Pros:

I really like all the functionality, all the steps make sense as you are posting a role. I really like the 'lightbulb' boxes, that remind you of what you've documented and potentially what that could mean, if gives you ideas for change. Its straightforward and logical.

Cons:

I wish it directly linked with my my outlook calendar

Reasons for choosing Applied

I would say cost and value for money given our NFP status

Vendor Response

Hi Penny, thank you for your excellent feedback. We are delighted that our service has helped you achieve greater organisational accountability. Although the platform cannot directly access and modify team calendars, you can utilise the scheduling assistant link to generate interviews in your personal scheduling solutions (such as Outlook, Gmail, and others). This will automatically add the interviews to the Applied interview calendar and make them available as potential interview slots for candidates to schedule independently. Thanks, Lauren

Pros:

I love that emphasis on removing bias from the recruitment process and how much the system guides you in doing so! The support from the team is absolutely top notch! very impressed

Cons:

Data - I wished that the data could be clearer for our purposes. I.e separating international/national candidates. Though I understand the reasoning for not showing the Protective characteristics for candidates it would be useful for my reporting purposes. It would be ideal if this information is only accessible by the lead admin.

Reasons for choosing Applied

Hello Josh, we are delighted to hear that you've been successful in using Applied and that your experience with our support team has been positive. We aim to provide you with as much support as you need. I will make sure to pass on your feedback to the product team. We continuously review and improve our reporting capabilities and how we break down data; whilst ensuring our data treatment meets the highest security and ethical use principles. As a result, we offer ready-to-use reports about diversity drop-offs, quality of sourcing, candidate and hiring team satisfaction and multiple other parameters. Additionally, we provide a way to download the raw data for independent analysis using whatever analysis tools our customers work with. Thanks, Lauren

Pros:

Applied has made us really think about our recruitment processes to ensure that they are as fair and inclusive as possible. Despite some initial hesitation, our hiring managers have come to enjoy reviewing applications based on sift questions rather than lengthy cover letters. The product team are regularly adding new features which is great in challenging us to think about alternative ways we can be assessing candidates!

Cons:

The one particular challenge that comes to mind is the time spent thinking about the design of the sift questions. We don't always get it quite right, but over time we have got better at this (and for ensuring we allow time to design these questions before going live with an advert)

Vendor Response

Hi Graham, thanks for your kind review of Applied. We're pleased you've enjoyed using the software and thrilled that your hiring managers now enjoy the process too! We have a work sample workshop should you or your hiring managers want to join; just let your Customer Success Manager know. Together, we can revolutionise hiring! Thanks, Lauren

A software every single company hiring should be using!

I definitely think the platform is a 10/10, however even beyond the product is the customer service and after care – the core ethos of the company. This was our first time using Applied and the team beyond above and beyond to help, understand and provide valuable suggestions. In particular, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] were there every single step of the way, no question was too small to ask. The team’s passion for the product and making a real difference translates across the whole company. While our process was ongoing, due to the high volume and bespoke hiring, even [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] got involved to provide suggestions to ensure the whole process was as smooth and valuable it could be.

Pros:

Why it was impactful? - It allowed us to select the most diverse candidates and provided everyone with a fair chance, no matter their background, gender, ethnicity, age, education status. - The biggest asset was the ability for us to be able to provide feedback to all the candidates that applied - this was a game-changer. - The software focuses on understanding the individual, their characteristics and fit for the actual role, instead of conventional questions. - It goes beyond eliminating bias, not by just hiding the candidate name, but also any other identifying information. - Allows every single answer to be assessed individually by multiple reviewers to provide an average – this can have a huge effect whether a candidate proceeds through the process. Easy to use - We had over 30 reviewers who had never used the product and everyone found it really easy to use.

Cons:

We couldn’t use it for the next stage in the process - would love to use it the whole way through.

Hi Nikita, thanks so much for your kind review! We (of course) agree that the candidate feedback feature is a game-changer and are super pleased to hear that you received excellent support from the team here :) All the best, Dan

The ability to generate data on our recruitment and diversity statistics, and to link that data to the different stages of the recruitment process to learn which stages may be discouraging diversity. The ability to consider the aptitude of the candidate rather than the experience.

Hi Cassia, thanks for the great review; we're pleased you've found using Applied beneficial. We've updated how our users can send candidate applications for anonymous review. This gives more control over allocating specific parts of the process to particular hiring managers in an automated way.
