Montage Interviewing Technology Software

Best customer service!!

Pros

I have to start with saying how great their customer service is. They are always very helpful, and the instructional videos make a world of difference when you are just learning the software. It is very user-friendly and makes communication a breeze.

Cons

Sometimes audio quality isn't too good. Other then that Montage is great, I don't have any complaints.

Great concept and easy to use!

Easy to use and easy to develop trainees.

Pros

The text capabilities for applications is such a great tool. The instructional videos lead me where I needed to go and could always help me out. Customer service was excellent.

Cons

Audio quality did not come through great on my computer speakers - had to use headphones. Other than that Montage is great.

Montage allows me to screen high volume requisitions with ease.

Again, the largest value add for us is the time to fill reduction for high volume reqs. Utilizing the screening characteristics of Montage has streamlined the process for these reqs.

Pros

The ability to import candidates to jobs and not having to enter them one by one is great. Also, the text interviews have made our dispositioning of applicants much easier than manually screening hundreds.

Cons

The only thing I dislike about the platform is that when you export multiple positions' candidates, there is no way to sort them by the req ID with which you imported them. It makes it more difficult to invite them to interview via text. This has not been added to the On Demand import wizard as of yet.

Lots of info to make things go smoothly

Pros

I appreciate all the training/educational info and videos to make the interview process go smoothly, especially the opportunity to practice well before the interview. Wouldn't have known about having the light source behind the camera, how high to position the computer, etc. otherwise. Very helpful!

Cons

My only "con" was that the link in the email to browse the site wasn't a live link. It may have been helpful to have in the introduction a suggestion to allow an hour at minimum to go through the videos and practice.

Bad Audio Feedback

Hard to speak to someone when you hear yourself talking

Pros

ease of use for the interviewer and interviewee

Cons

Picture quality is poor
Real Bad Audio Feedback

EASE OF USE

The software was easy to understand and setup. Video quality was pretty good as well. Since I never use Montage before I was impressed with how easy it was to get set up and ready for the interview.

Pros

Easy to set up and use

Phoenix interview

First time using Montage. Easy to access. It was my first time using this product so there may be more features that I have yet to discover.

Pros

Easy to use. Training material to review before actual use.

Cons

Unable to move screen to the top of monitor so that can watch and look directly at camera so that you feel like you make eye contact. More training regarding the use of the buttons.

Pam Marquis' review

I could not get the audible component to work on my end so we ended up dialing into the call in number and using speaker phone and camera. Frequency of use of this product is not any of the 3 choices below. This is my only time using it but in order to send you this review, I had to select one of them.

Pros

Great clarity, real time,

Cons

Just need practice, but that's on my end; I set it up earlier but didnt test the audible, I tested the visual only so I didn't have a chance to call support.

Video Interviews a great first step in our recruitment

Pros

High level of service in initiating video-conferencing technology, establishing connections and supporting both me and candidates in assuring that technology is an enabler and doesn't get in the way of the interview. Not all candidates feel equally comfortable in an interview that is not "in person" so this help takes any veil

Cons

The need for ear phones to enhance audio and fight echo, etc., is a slight distraction.

Welcome to the cyber space

Pros

You brought the world to our living room. that is what I like the best in this product. I never had to get out of my house to get the job done. No driving hassles, tension free to reach the office on time, had the unique experience that I was part of an advancing technology.

Cons

The picture I saw in the monitor seemed to talk to me; the recluses would not like this "kind" of soliloquy, denying the benefit of conversation with the interviewer which would have given me more opportunity to display my diverse talents other than my communicating ability.

A great product from a company that partners with clients

Pros

They have great service and support to back up the product. They take our client needs seriously and work to ensure we have a quality solution in place to fit the individual needs of a client.

Cons

There is nothing I would say I like least about the product or vendor at this time. They are responsive, professional and work closely with our team to ensure quality experiences for our clients and candidates.

We use the product for digital and on demand video interviewing

Pros

The vendor has A+ customer service and the product is best in class in that it provides seamless integration and social media distribution and engagement. It is also very configurable.

Cons

You need to ensure to analyze the product with the lens of whether the product can meet the needs of the business, as well as ensure that the customer service support is provided at a high level.

Montage: a great tool!

Pros

Account Reps are responsive and great to work with. The product is easy for candidates to use.

Cons

Can be a bit confusing at times in the system if you want to reschedule interviews or add interviewers but there are easy workarounds.

Pleasant Partnership

Pros

I love their excellent customer service on both the account management side of things, as well as the technical customer support. Their concierge service for each live interview is top notch. Also, response times to inquiries are unlike any other, extremely fast and reliable.

Cons

We are still learning all the functionality that the program has to offer, which is not a negative, it is simply something that we are working on improving from our end to maximize the full potential of the program.

We love Montage!

Pros

Montage treats us like we are their only customer. Everyone at Montage is helpful with any question we may have about the product. They are also extremely responsive to our candidates.

Montage offers us video and voice technology that allows us to engage and connect with candidates, ultimately speeding along our hiring. This product is very easy to use.

Cons

We do not have Montage synced with any other systems we use like Taleo or Skill Survey. That is something our facility is not ready to tackle. So our recruiters do have to jump back and forth through different programs. It is a little cumbersome, but we make it work for us. The Montage Staff has been terrific to show us some solutions to overcome these obstacles.

Montage is about partnership

Pros

The time it saves both me as the recruiting coordinator and everyone on our recruiting committee.
The staff at Montage is truly top notch! They have well-developed interpersonal skills, are respectful, and listen well.

Cons

The candidate and job archiving timing and process flow are slightly inconvenient.

Great Product-Great Service!

Pros

The software provides a branded digital platform for conducting interviews, both in real time and on-demand. In addition, Montage has added telephonic tools as well. It is a tool that provides the needed flexibility that recruiters need to interact with job seekers. Montage is constantly upgrading, enhancing and developing new functionality that makes the investment in this product have a high ROI.

Cons

It is definitely an "investment" in that it is suited for organizations that recruit larger volumes of new talent.

High Volume Recruiting

Pros

It is very user friendly, and is technology driven. I like that the tool is automated and is integrated into our ATS.

Cons

I do not like that there is not an option to play all candidates interviews back to back. At this time I have to click on each individual one, and it will play all of that candidates responses, but to move on to the next I have to exit out to go to the next person. This would be a great add on.

Voice capture technology supports our sourcing strategy.

Pros

The product has a level of sophistication that other tools don't afford. The customizable nature of the product coupled with a highly consultative staff have made our partnership fluid and action oriented.

Cons

Nothing has occurred that would spark a comment around the negative.

Regeneron Showcases Success

Pros

Ease of use (setting up On-Demand and Live interviews, identifying questions from a library, utilizing a combined set of text, multiple choice, and video questions), dual model (On-Demand, Live, Meeting), fantastic support services team, great Client Success Manager, Sr. Leader support. When issues occur, they are resolved immediately.

Cons

Lacked full Applicant Tracking system Integration for full model, but they're working diligently to build it out. The log-in page, when completing an interview is a bit busy which can be distracting.
