Game Changer

some of my fasttrack emails go to the applicant's junk mail thus I don't know if they're non responsive or just don't know I've emailed.

PROS

Allows me to proactively be in constant recruit mode. Cloud based so I can access information and never worry about losing both prospects and hired team members information. Can use to maintain employees as well.

CONS

Would be nice if interject stronger sales assessments.

Career Plug Review

This has made the hiring process much easier to navigate through. Communication is so much better. Overall I love this software!

PROS

I like how everything flows. I like the templates and how the system makes the hiring process easy. I also like how it is easy to share communication across my team.

CONS

I have found that searching for specific jobs isn't always the easiest from a hiring manager standpoint. Having to look through the dropdown through all job templates to find the open positions is confusing for hiring managers.

Reason for choosing CareerPlug

It seemed to best fit our hiring needs and was the best fit financially

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Sasha! We are so happy to hear that our software has made your hiring process easier.

Building a pipeline

I would forget to file resumes and track references in the approporiate places if it wasn't for this feature on career plug.

PROS

I like the organization of the software. The ability to complete tasks and document each conversation we have with the applicants is a wonderful feature that allows us to prepare for the interviews and track progress!

CONS

I don't know how to gauge the effectiveness of the assessments used by Careerplug. Most people get low scores on the math portion and or state that they didn't get a link for the sales portion.

Super User Friendly!

PROS

Product is very user friendly & welcoming to the eyes. There have been a few enhancements that have improved the functionality of the platform quite a bit. Although an applicant may apply several times throughout the year it groups everything together. Customer service is super!

CONS

When an applicant completes an application one time, if they aren't selected & come back a year later & try to apply their original application is still in the system & can't be updated.

Changed the admin of our business

I can be working with our admins staff and everybody is on the same page as everything is kept together. There is no me holding files on my side that someone else has or vice versa. Everyone that needs access has access!

PROS

That I am able to get all the admin for each employee from starting the hiring process to on boarding the employee and keeping all their documents in one place all together. Knowing that they have filled out all the forms required is huge!

CONS

This is the first software we have used for this so honestly dont have anything I dont like.

Good software to use. The candidate pool is not the greatest.

PROS

The Dashboard is a great feature that allows us to easily see what the most recent applicants. The point and click functions of moving candidates through the process is nice and easy.

CONS

Things often get clogged up and it is easy to overlook applicants. It seems that there are a lot of candidates that apply but the number that do any sort of follow up, no matter how fast we respond, is minimal.

Great Value for the Money!

I would first like to say how much CareerPlug has made a difference in the number of applicants we have received since we have begun utilizing them in July 2016. For the price point they offer, it is one of the best values for the money that is out there right now.

PROS

- I love the way the applicants are listed by location and job description. - Daily Applicant summary notifications are clear and concise. - Ability to screen applicants on initial application. This saves time interviewing candidates who are not qualified. - Ability to add multiple users to the account with no additional charge. - Customer service is very prompt in responding to your issues.

CONS

- Reporting features are not very customize able. - They only post to 8 free job boards. - Sometimes screens don't automatically refresh after status updates. Whether this is an internet issue or server issue remains to be seen.

I am able to quickly get access to information I need whether I am on my computer or not. The layout of the dashboard is very user friendly. We use Career Plug for several different positions, so we can have only the people who need specific applications receive them.

PROS

I found Career Plug to be extremely user friendly. Easy to find information quickly. I like that it downloads to my phone. this is especially helpful when I need data when I am not at my computer.

CONS

I have not found any problems yet. I do need a tutorial to make sure I am aware of all the functions available.
