Broadbean has been a great partner with us. We love their product and really wish we would be able to utilize their resume search feature within our current ATS. Their Job Posting function which we currently use works without any issues. We very rarely have any issues with Jobs not posting correctly. Overall a great product that does exactly what you need it to do. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The best ability with this software is the quickness and usability. When I say quickness, I am referring to how fast the tool finds results and uploaded them into the ATS (applicant tracking system). The code they have built is much better than any competitor on the market. Usability is a big plus for this software as well. Their UI is very straight forward and easy to use. They have updated their UI so it does not look old and clunky unlike some of their competitors. Broadbean integrates extremely well into other SaaS solutions in particular Bullhorn ATS. We recently moved away from Bullhorn and now only use Broadbean for a job posting tool (which works very well) and we dearly miss the candidate search functionality. #### Cons Duplicate management is very tough with any resume parser. So many people use so many different styles and formats of resume, catching duplicates becomes very tough. I thought Broadbean could use some enhancement on this front. We are constantly dealing with resume entering our system that are duplicates and causing data integrity issues. If you have a messy database you might consider investing in duplication checks along with a product like Broadbean #### Reasons for choosing Broadbean TextKernal was not available on the Salesforce platform at the time we moved aways from Bullhorn ATS. #### Reasons for switching to Broadbean Daxtra has been very hard to work with. Their product take a very long time to parse resumes into our database. Duplication checking (or profiles failing to insert) is a complete nightmare. We run a very fast-paced business and Daxtra struggles to keep up. --- ### Broadbean one of the best on the market - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ray M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Ive been a customer for over 15 years. Was always the best on the market for what they offer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy of use Functionality Broadbean multiple search Bullhorn integration #### Cons Veritone billing team doesnt respond Support email better than billing but take too long. #### Reasons for choosing Broadbean A much better product.

If you want to post quickly to Dice, it is a must have as their is no posting integration that is native to Bullhorn #### Cons The way candidates are brought into the system and some past experience we had with fields being auto populated. it may have been fixed, but we just don't use those fields for data --- ### Overall great for recruiter posting on job boards - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: emma b. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Staffing and Recruiting - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Definitely recommend trialing it as a tool. I think it's one of the most widely used in the Agency Staffing / Recruitment industry so reliable and likely it will have the integrations that you need. No doubt that Broadbean is a time saver for posting job adverts to multiple sources - no more copy and pasting, having to remember multiple logins and you can even refresh them quickly. It's also very handy to have a record of all your old positions when you have similar ones that you can reference. Another good feature is that if you have a good integration with your ATS / CRM, then you will be able to track job board sources automatically, have the applicants linked to the position and then use the data to track ROI. Admins can manage users and permissions easily too - including allowing posting to company social networks without needing to share login details. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros No frills tool that does what it says on the tin. You can link it to your ATS / CRM, job boards and social profiles and it will push out all of your postings. Ad responses are then received to your email and tracked centrally. #### Cons I never find much use for the 'CV Portal' feature where you rate the ad responses as prefer to use my email inbox where I can reply to and keep track of all responses in one place. It's also not the most advanced or fully featured tool, but that's not necessarily a bad thing to keep things simple and reliable, instead of unnecessarily complicated. --- ### Broadbean is a great tool which makes my life 100 times easier. A must have! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Talib J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Staffing and Recruiting - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It was very easy and has been reliable ever since implementation with no downtime at all to get the tool implemented and ready to use #### Cons I don't like the fact that sometimes the notifications for CVs submitted don't come through.

The user-friendliness of Broadbean was much better than competitors. Our user found fewer issues with the integration with our ATS. The concept of shortlisting matched out compnay terminolgy as well, which made training much smoother. #### Cons Support can tend to point the finger at the other vendors. Since Broadbean deal with all the job boards, we tend to see that they would alwasy point the finger at the other vendors when there are issues. --- ### Ease of Job Distribution to all my channels - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Manually changing credentials could be a smoother process as well. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 27 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/broadbean-profile/reviews/) ## Broadbean Popular Comparisons [micro1 vs Broadbean](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/126907-broadbean/vs/529654-micro1/)[100Hires vs Broadbean](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/100hires-profile/vs/broadbean/)[Indeed for Employers vs Broadbean](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/broadbean-profile/vs/indeed-for-employers/)[ZipRecruiter vs Broadbean](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/broadbean-profile/vs/ziprecruiter/)[Zoho Recruit vs Broadbean](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/broadbean-profile/vs/zoho-recruit/)[Paylocity vs Broadbean](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/broadbean-profile/vs/web-pay/)[CEIPAL ATS vs Broadbean](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/broadbean-profile/vs/ceipal-ats/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/broadbean-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Recruiting Software [UKG Pro](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/ukg-pro-profile/) **4.3** (731) Recently recommended **216** times [Paycor](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/paycor-perform-profile/) **4.3** (3074) Recently recommended **183** times [Workable](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/workable-profile/) **4.4** (662) Recently recommended **183** times [Centrally HR](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/centrally-hr-profile/) **4.9** (36) Recently recommended **148** times Stuck Between Options?
