RESUMate Software

Very positive if you are on a tight budget, but don't expect a lot compared to other ATS's out on the market. Good product and service in the beginning, but it's dated.

Pros

It's a fairly easy software to use and can do lots of things for your recruiting business

Cons

The color scheme is bad. It's monotone/gray, and it's just not up to date. They just went to a cloud base, but I switched from them. It cost for service too now I believe.

Researched this software for a Client. After testing it I did recommend they purchase the product. they have been more than pleased with the result.

Pros

It is very easy to use and I have the flexibility to link to the data with an Access Database and create reports, charts whatever the customer requests.

Cons

The reports were lacking but i have the ability to work with that.

Advice to Others

Would recommend this product, very cost effective, and the support has been great.

Resumate is a great tool to help me stay organized in every area of my business.
Marketing, Recruiting, Keeping Searches Organized, Planning & everything ties together.
When you update one record in Resumate, it updates all associated records, - Clients, Candidates, Job Orders and you can even create Groups to act as separate planning folders.
Resumate is a great product, and a wise investment.

I've been using Resumate for around ten years in my contingency search firm. It is easy to use, imports and parses resumes and conducts easy searches and detailed searches very quickly. It comes with templates but is also totally customizable. It really lets you drill down and find what you're looking for! The training is great (and free) and the customer service is beyond believable. The few times I've had a problem, Chuck gets back to me quickly and helps me solve my issue in a patient, easy to understand manner. Because the software is not cloud based, I paid once and do not pay recurring fees every month. I had used ACT and Maximizer previously - Resumate is a much better product for recruiters! I highly recommend it!

We have used Resumate for a number of years. As our business has grown and evolved we have been able to continue using Resumate. It is a very flexible system and allows us to capture a huge amount of data. With this we are also able to do a lot of analysis and reporting on our business. Resumate is user friendly but does require a company to have a type of "super user", or someone with a little knowledge about databases. But Resumate do provide very good support for those with questions.

This software is simply the best that I have used in my 15 years in business. With Resumate you can import resumes (that get automatically parsed and classified), manage clients, manage all your Job Orders, and your calendar.

It integrates with Outlook and what's very helpful is that you can quickly use Resumate to find all the e-mails sent to a candidate or client.

It parses resumes very well and comes with some predefined industry terms and synonyms that you can easily customize to your needs. You can literally import a resume in a matter of seconds and have it automatically classified against your own keywords.

Another great thing is that once you buy it, it's yours. None of this cloud based, monthly fee business where you have to have an internet connection in order to work.

I have had nothing but positive results with the RESUMate software, it handles everything I need as a recruiter. I personally believe it has to be one of the best recruiting software on the market and they are very inexpensive compared to other programs I considered before selecting RESUMate.
I have no negatives at all. The ongoing online seminars they provide for free really are unbelievably helpful and free!

A powerhouse for small and large recruiting firms. Add to that the affordable price and awesome customer and technical service including weekly training. You definitely get a "Bang for your Buck".

I searched through nearly 10 different recruiter type databases and NONE were even close to RESUMATE, especially for smaller recruiter firms, though RESUMATE has no real size limit on how many recruiters can work within the system. It is so easy and so amazingly functional and the ability to email or look up an entered candidate on LINKEDIN...(so great) from within the candidates profile is a MUST for every recruiter. This is a more old school simple to use program that has almost everything imaginable feature, that will enhance your internal organizing of every facet of the process, and I mean every single thing imaginable and more.

The biggest thing is the detailed search in seconds...the "AND" or "OR" ability of finding matching skills (candidates) is incredible and in seconds. You can find (for example) and engineer with A "OR" B skills "AND" C skills. You can add what states to include or NOT include and you can add levels such as Directors or Managers and even more, all in one search (though as expected the results will be smaller the more you refine your search). It is so comprehensive and easy and once you have the results you can X-OUT the candidates that do not qualify leaving you a group of real fit possibilities. And all I can say is for the most part, it is fairly simple, as complex programs go.

As for their support, it is first rate. I have been using RESUMATE for about 3 years and I RARELY have a problem and if I am trying to do something a little different, they are right their to help. You get a real person that knows the program inside out, no outsourced look up the answers in a book, tech response. They do live webinars that I still occasionally take (they are only 30 minutes and they do about 5or 6 a month ) on different areas of the program...I learn or am reminded of a new trick or idea each time.

I am not getting paid and I have NO relationship to them whatsoever...I am honestly saying that RESUMATE is so well thought out, so easy to use, so helpful in so many ways and for the money (or at any price) is unbeatable.

As with any program, there are functions that we still haven't learned to use - and a couple functions that we wish the program had - but I've used several others in the past, and Resumate is the most economical and user friendly of them all. As our company has grown, Resumate has grown with us. Very easy to train new staff - and any questions or further training is easily and quickly addressed when contacting the company. Five Stars!! *****

This system was very easy to set up and works great for us. It's very easy to navigate and straight forward. I highly recommend this product.

I had used ACT....a simple Contact Management Software for almost 14 years before switching to RESUMate back in 2010. I had continued to look for simple recruiting software every other year and could never find a replacement that met my needs until RESUMate. RESUMate is a simple to use but powerful recruiting software. I can inhale a resume easily and create a contact, tag candidates, keyword search, track interviews and activity and even more. I am a time bandit and a firm believer that the quicker I can find what I need and move to my next task the better. RESUMate allows me to do just that without too many keystrokes or clicks. Should you want to customize or need customer service they are a small and smoothly run organization with very quick response times. I actually run RESUMate on a server and have three remote users that log into it..........in essence I have my own cloud and we enjoy a quick response time with no down time. I would highly recommend RESUMate on your short list of recruiting software. Funny, I belong to a national group of independant recruiters (500+) and one complaint they often have is their database software. Not me. RESUMate is a powerful and simple recruiting software.

Fantastic product. Has helped us make numerous placements over the years. Highly recommended.

This software has come a very long way since I started back in 2002. And I used others. The software has all the tools to maintain your data files, send outs, follow ups, having the ability to customize the columns, import/export, etc. Very powerful!

I have been using Resumate for 3+ years, and continue to enjoy its merits. As I now have some "history" built in, I am deriving additional payback that grows geometrically.

Resumate has all of the capabilities we need for our agency. The owner is personally involved and very responsive to any inquiries. I would highly recommend the software.

Not every bell and whistle but all the basics. Super easy to use. The best customer service and training you can find.

RESUMate has been our tool of choice for over 10 years. For our small, retained search firm, it has the necessary bells and whistles to store and find resumes and to find the skill sets for job orders.
It has good project (job order) management tools and the "recruiter activity" reporting tools are adequate to manage recruiter productivity. RESUMate has embodied the "keep-it-simple" philosophy.
The only area I would like to see improved is the user interface, as it is a little dated and feels a bit like a DOS application. That being said, their is something to say about simplicity. I will not change from RESUMate because the customer service is superior, the tool is solid, and they listen to their clients. I have seen many improvements over the years and the Schaldenbrand's are wonderful to work with. I give them, and RESUMate, my highest recommendations.

I have been a user of RESUMate since it was a DOS program. I have found it very user friendly, and easy to use. I probably does not have the search capabilities of other applicant tracking systems, but it is sufficient, and the customer support is outstanding. Each new edition has been well worth the investment.

Extensive customization capabilities well suited for any recruiter wishing to track candidates, companies, and job orders throughout the full life cycle process. Inter relational database with great search functions, calendar, follow up and scheduling features, parsing, everything you need. The available free training and customer service/follow up; even responsiveness to email are all top notch! Been using this software for 10 years now through the current version and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended!
