### Best Hiring tool for Insurance Agencies

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Brad W.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Financial Services
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2024
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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!

[sensitive content hidden] gave a speech on it years ago at an Allstate event.

#### Reasons for switching to IdealTraits

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.

### Ideal traits in review

#### Pros

What I like most about Ideal traits is being able to find qualified candidates during the hiring phase.

#### Cons

Trying to find old hires in the system when wanting to review their personality trait for coaching.

#### Vendor response

Hi James, Thanks so much for the feedback, we really appreciate it. I do have a few tips for finding older hires in the system: First, I would recommend moving them to the Hired Stage using the stages dropdown menu from the candidate list. This will also allow the system to track their hire date for you so you never have to worry about forgetting! You canalso add Tags from the Candidate list such as "Hired" and this would provide just another way to filter and search throughout that Hired stage. If you have any additional questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team and we'd love to help out!

#### Pros

The easy way to use the assessments. This process is easy for the user and seems to work very well.

#### Cons

Using it as the only tool to rate a person. I think the time of day and the amount of time you use to do it makes the results different. Have had people do them more than once.

#### Vendor response

Hi Helen, Thank you so much for your review. We are glad to hear that you're able to easily fold the assessment into your hiring process. There are a few different factors that go into the amount of time someone takes to complete the assessment and some of these factors can point back to that person's personality result. If you ever have questions or concerns about assessment results or the length of time taken, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team and we can chat through what might have happened or what it can mean for the candidate. We're here to help! We'd also love to hear what else we could do that would make it more likely for you to recommend us to colleagues. We are always looking for ways to improve and greatly appreciate the feedback.
