Love that they are always upgrading!

PROS

What I like most is that they added texting to the candidates as activities so when I am texting someone, it creates an activity that can be read by all. I am mostly loving the new free feature of adding jobs directly to Monster Organic and LinkedIn direct. We've made more placements since using these features.

CONS

I don't like that I cannot search older, archived jobs for "job descriptions." Sometimes I want to find an older description and copy it but I have to click job by job, until I can find ones that have descriptions.

Reasons for switching to Top Echelon

We had Top Echelon before but boss wanted to try something different and went to PCRecruiter. ALl the staff went on a virtual strike until we went back to Top Echelon

BigBiller is very good and user friendly

BB is such an upgrade to the FileMaker system we used previously. However, the parsing of jobs is slow and a lot manual cut/paste. And, as mentioned, lack of the audible reminder is a hindrance to my desk, personally. Tech Support is friendly and VERY helpful, particularly [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]! He's my guy!

PROS

I love hotlists and pipelines. I run my entire desk around those two on the candidate side of the equation.

CONS

Searching legacy candidates using keywords is very kludgy to both my partner and myself. I also used to LOVE that you had the audible sound to remind me of my appointment calls, email blasts, etc.

Reasons for switching to Top Echelon

Filemaker didn't begin to meet our needs, but it was Recession. When we could afford to upgrade, we did.

User Friendly - Easy to Keep track of Candidates and Outreach

Would have liked to been able to see which email address was used on emails sent out of BB

A Recruiters Best Friend

PROS

Top Echelon is one of the absolute best database management tools I have ever used, especially for recruiting. My company has used TE for a decade now, and have not had anything before or since that was as streamlined and convenient.

CONS

The search feature is not absolutely perfect, but unless you want a hyper specific set of search conditions it will have everything you need. I also would love if "Years of Experience" automatically updated every year, so that we could easily check if older candidates now have the necessary experience for higher level positions.

BB

It is what it is for now... It gets us by, but we will have to upgrade soon. I am going to need something that has a complete staffing package that can do my payroll as well, and track all of my HR information.

PROS

It is easy to use, and if you have a small company it is easy to buy into with a low amount of users. The text messaging feature is a game changer. Very helpful.

CONS

The job posting tool does not get applicants. We would get 2-3 people per week. I had to get another subscription with Zip. We try and import as many resumes as possible, but many do not make it through, or the resume doesn't parse. Everything is an add-on with this software. Which can be a benefit as well. When I see my bill at the end of the month I really don't feel that we put $220 into this. I wish my users utilized it more, however they don't have the time for all the importing. I wish there was a way to actually downgrade users. For example, my onsite doesn't enter a thing in this and just sits at a company and makes phone calls. All I would need from her is to enter information, and import resumes if needed.
