IdealTraits 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. 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.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

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.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. 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.

Functionality

Pros:

1.) Easy to set up and use and get my job posting out to multiple job sites all at once 2.) By far a more cost effective hiring tool than paying a headhunter a % of a candidates first year salary 3.) The personal assessment information provided gives great insight into a candidate's potential "fit" within our business

Cons:

Not much to be honest, maybe it would be a slight improvement to not have to keep re-verifying a job posting as often but that requirement probably comes from the job sites themselves.

Vendor Response

Hi Brad, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate the feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoy the ease of getting your job out to all of the different boards and that you’ve found the assessment to be a great tool in making the right hires. If there’s ever anything you need, you know where to find us!

Hi Kevin, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're so glad you've found the system easy to use and that it has saved you time when it comes to your hiring. I will say, even though we no longer have the direct inbound phone line, you can usually schedule a call within 15 minutes hwne you use the "Request a Call" button in the Help menu or from the Chat Bubble. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our customer support experience, so I will let our Team Lead know to think more about how we can increase our availability.
