Best Hiring tool for Insurance Agencies

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

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!

Cost and less time consuming. The system is set up to do what I was doing manually still through Indeed.

Vendor Response

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. Thank you again for taking the time to offer feedback, we truly appreciate it!

Pros:

I like that I can post my jobs on here for the big post boards

Cons:

This needs to work better from my cell phone because I'm always on the go. This is terrible on IOS. I also want you guys to not just let me ask candidates if they're licensed, but there needs to be a radial button or star on their name in the overall candidate list page so I can quickly sort/see licensed candidates.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Skip. We appreciate you being a member of the platform for 8 years and truly value your feedback and suggestions. While our platform is not currently optimized for the cell phone interface, rest assured that our development team has been working hard to make this possible. We will let you know when that is optimized, which will hopefully be an added convenience for your hiring process. Also, we’d love to help you with an easier way to sort licensed candidates as we have added a few helpful features in this department over the last few months. I’ll have one of our service team reps give you a call on Monday to show you how to easily use this functionality to identify candidates with licenses. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to offer your feedback. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support staff at any time if you have other suggestions, or run into anything that we can help you out with. Happy hiring!

Hi Ben, Thank you so much for taking the time to offer feedback and a review. I will definitely pass along the suggestion to our product team to try to implement more ways to filter by the pre-qualifying questions. We'd also love to hear more about what you would like to do in terms of searching resumes as we do have a resume parsing/keyword search, but we'd love to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for. Thanks again for taking the time to offer your feedback and leave a review! We greatly appreciate it.

Pros:

Ideal traits are a one stop easy to use stop that helps me find the best qualified candidates for my agency. They make it easy and do it all from posting the job ads, managing candidates and profile testing. within a day of my ideal traits job postings, I had over 125 candidates and resumes in my in box. from there I was easily able to assess for the best candidates to interview based on their personality assessments.

Cons:

Not really a negative but I got so many resumes the first day I had to turn them off, so I had time to assess.
