If there was ever a 5 star service, this is it. I cannot recommend the service enough. I will use nothing other than BidRecruit for structuring our recruitment process moving forward.

The usability of the system is second to none. The dashboards are informative, the navigation structure is sensible. The customisation of the hiring process makes it a breeze to qualify candidates, allow for management screening, organise interviews, etc. Essentially, the entire process from the publishing of ads to formalising recruitment can be done from this single platform. The recruitment agent marketplace is a remarkable addition to the basic functionality. We have used the latter to successfully recruit senior IT business leader profiles, while the basic functionality has been more than effective to generate candidates for less competitive areas.

I had a little difficulty understanding the scoring mechanism for key qualification/screening questions, but after a minute or two the logic was sound.

has been great to use and super user-friendly. Anyone can pick up in my absence

Very user-friendly ATS system and would recommend it for any small businesses looking for a system to streamline this recruitment.

very difficult to implement multiple interview processes. The data and reporting do not offer the raw and detailed data required for being data-driven. Limited integration offerings

The over view capacity when it works people apply and when we respond they don't seem to get the notification and sending further documents is not user friendly for them, 9 out of 10 it fails

We are not notified and therefore remain unsure as to knowing if the candidate got our response via occupop, we ultimately end up contacting them manually to know for sure.

The ease of tracking applications through to offering, makes it so easy and saves so much time.

I find this programme so easy to use, it is so easy to track applicants. The candidate scores have been very accurate to date.

Sometimes we get applications from abroad, I am unaware if there is a facility to narrow the applicant range...

Its been a massive help as we try to grow staff numbers in UK and Ireland

We have been using Occupop for a few years, we advertised up to 60 jobs at any time, and find the system to be perfect for our needs, easy to use, easy to train colleagues and its been something we couldn't have done without.

Would like a text sms system, this would help us keep in touch with applicants

It has improved our resourcing procedures and streamlined some elements, including removing some of the more manual elements of the work.

Relatively easy to you, some very useful features such as interview scheduling, automated templates etc. which are all easy to use

Missing some key features, such as ability to search through candidates with keywords, system can be slow moving between profiles, reporting needs improvement such as the ability to export reports etc.

very good

user friendly and having organized layout. score for candidates helps in initial screening.

cant put comment for each step. mail alerts are very slow and always takes time to update

Occupop has saved us time and money, making a complex field of recruitment options much more easy to track and manage,

Pulling multiple recruitment channels into one tool makes recruitment a lot easier to manage.

Changing interview attendees - when managers have to swap their schedules around - not currently possible - this would be very useful as it happens a lot.

Occupop is our life saver when it comes to recruitment.Customer service is second to none.

Ease of use CV databaseCV scoringGreat customer service

CV scoring could be more accurate and job specific

Really positive, has definitely makde life easier and is really useful for when I am doing my board reports.

The customer service is second to none they are timely with their responses, super helpful and send video guides of them showing you how to do things that you can refer back to

I wish you could see why someone was rejected previously or for another role so you can see if you would consider them again or not without going through the CV and forms

Excellent, from enquiry to implementation, all went very smooth.

Easy to use, clear processes, the introduction team and set up were fantastic

Nothing that I have come across yet. So far, liking all its functionality.

From the initial adoption of the system, things ran very smoothly. The clean and simplistic user interface ensures staff can pick it up very quickly. Very customisable to meet your needs. Workflows that make sense can be created. Posting to multiple job sites takes no time at all and can also be arranged through the system. The option to send personalised emails out in bulk is also useful.

Would like to see integration with HR systems if at all possible.

streamlines the recruitment process a huge amount

Saves a huge amount of time screening and then scheduling applications, setting up users for all the different sites was a doddle!

Scheduling only allows one applicant at a time to be scheduled, meaning you have to go back and forth. A admin app would be a help, and save having to find a pc all the time.

Its my go to place for recruitment now - and at the price how could it not be?

I like that the software is user friendly, i also like once i post my job to bid recruit - its duplicates on all job boards applicable to me (I chose at my leisure) - Furthermore, its tell you exactly which site the applicant applied through - generating recruitment trends in your given sector. Its interesting to see the different level roles and which site is more popular for the different roles. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dashboard, all the stats I need at a glance, and I can clearly tell how well the roles are performing, a recent feature added which i also LOVE is the candidate questions; an applicant cant apply without answering mandatory questions (if you chose to set this feature, and btw its completely able for customization, eliminating mundane questions automatically and allowing you to completely personalise)

I would love if a sector of activity catagory was added in the company profile section - right now we are listed as engineering - Construction and Trades would be a good sector to add ;)

Getting greater exposure across multiple job platforms when advertising roles. Getting decent response rates for professional and trade role advertised.

The fact it's linked to the IFRAME on our website is great. Copy link function for other site to ensure that all cv's come through Occupop a good feature. With our packake send cv to hiring manager also a good function.

Nothing to note, very easy to use overall.

From the moment we subscribed to BidRecruit, we haven't looked back. It takes the pain out of recruiting. We had another account with a different jobs website and due to the success of BidRecruit in finding candidates for our organisation, we have decided to phase the other website out in 2019. It's also pleasing to see a small company grow rapidly, a very deserved success!

- Ease of use - Helpful and friendly service from the support team - Reliability - Value for money - Ease of feedback - Compliance with GDPR

Nothing. I honestly couldn't fault the software!

Very good.

It is very user friendly and easy to navigate around the application.

Cant say there are too many issues, for the most part it works extremely well.

With the current increase in number of applications received it has enabled us to quickly and smoothly process a large volume of applicants quickly and effectively

Its very user friendly from the candidate and employer perspective

Would like to be able to do mass scheduling of interviews and its currently not available Also being able to do a report on all of answers to screening question

Very good experience and really happy with the platform

It's user friendly and has a nice interface to it. It's easy to navigate between candidates, move them onto the next stages and setup interviews.

When selecting multiple candidates you can only select those that are visible. You need to select 'Load More' in order to capture the remaining candidates. Sometimes we could have over 100 candidates to process and it would be easier to select all at once instead of the smaller blocks.

It's ok. Having used a better system previously it's very easy to spot the flaws and let downs of Occupop.

Ease of use, ability to post to multiple job sites at once

Candidate tracking is not adequate Cannot select multiple CV's to schedule interviews with multiple time slots available - too busy in any given day to to individually invite all received candidates to interview Basic package very expensive for what it actually offers in terms of managing recruitment for a large organisation

A super tool to have when recruiting. Easy to use and always changing to meet our company needs. Great recruitment facility

Nothing to report here.

Easy to use, easy to track applicants. Good product

slow system but if these improvements where made it would be better

You can reach many different job boards but all of the applications are centralised into one place.

It was my understanding that if I disabled the external advertising functionality on a role, I could advertise a new job externally in it's place and still work on the former job in the background. But the only way to work on something in the background is to also list it as a "live" job. Which means we reach our live jobs limit very quickly in a very busy period of recruitment for our company.

Good

Easy to email the team and view cvs, add comments at a click of a button

CVs disappear after comment added, you can’t get it without logging info portal

overall good

looking up what stage the position was at

Interface at times not user friendly, when advertising for multiple roles can be a bit confusing useful to have something to identify if a CV has been posted for several jobs within the company.
