Crelate Software

Love look and feel

Pros

Ease of use and availability of customer support... very helpful and knowledgeable individuals. Responsive to my requests!!

Cons

None

Crelate is a relatively new company and I expect the product will continue to improve. I like that I was able to do a free trial to get a true feel for how it works before buying. So far I am mostly satisfied.

Pros

Dashboard is very simple and customizable. It sends your jobs out to the free job boards like Indeed and ZipRecruiter and allows you to direct candidates all to one place. The job portal is very clean looking and allows you to tag jobs with different categories. It can also be embedded into your existing website. Pricing is reasonable compared to other ATS products. Importing candidates from LinkedIn is a very useful feature too. Email tracking is another feature I like - I'm able to see all of my conversations with candidates right from the dashboard.

Cons

Integration with paid job boards needs to be expanded. Posting to CareerBuilder through Crelate does not give you all of the job categories and custom options that you get if posting on the actual site. Monster integration does not work either. Would be nice to add options for posting to Craigslist and other niche job boards. Mobile platform functionality is ok but not great.

Pros

Cloud based and agile, created by people who care about the success of their customers, super easy to use, sync integrated to Chrome and all the job boards. Far superior to the other ATS's I have used in the past (I have used 3 others). My account rep, has been beyond helpful and attentive. 10 stars.

Cons

None as of yet, and I really tried to find something to say in the block. I think there is always preferences unique to anyone's data storing style, but so far, love it.

Pros

Strong product features and excellent support, as well as Youtube tutorials, make this a very easy product to use.

Cons

While the support is great, some of the features are not overly intuitive. That's where the Youtube tutorials add a lot value.
The cost is a bit high at the monthly level, but will more than pay for itself in productivity.

Crelate, as is very uncommon, lets you have a full-on trial of the software, which is highly recommended.

Pros

Crelate is built in a way that is fully compatible with our processes as a Staffing Agency. The workflows make sense, and are fully customizable within that framework.

Cons

Personally I think the aesthetics are a bit ugly, but my team is focused on performance and they are happy.

Pros

Pretty easy ATS to utilize. Visually, it's very pleasing to the eye and relatively easy to navigate your way through main functions.

Cons

When I link a candidate or tag them sometimes i have some issues. It also does not help that their search functionality isn't the best either. Clumping together some of my candidates with same last names.

Pros

easy to use, tasks are easy to schedule. I have recommended this product to multiple people since starting

Cons

There are some small features lacking, like SMS which I believe is in the works. When updating the software it runs slowly

As a new recruiter and business owner, this program is the ideal tool to begin a business.

Pros

I am very pleased with the value for money, the ease of use, the customer support (and tutorials) and the positive impact of using the CRM component. I appreciate the templates and the workflow components.

Cons

I am still having some issues tying this software to my email records but I am working on improving this process.

Pros

Crelate Talent offers some very good and important features like outlook integration, job board publishing, activity tracking, candidate workflow, hiring managers, candidate portal best part about crelate it is one of the most Budget friendly tool in the Market offering almost every needed functionality

Cons

Cons I talk about would the migration part..Migration from my old database was a bit complex but some research and customer got the work done

Still getting used to it, time will tell. Support staff were not friendly and condescending. I still have questions about software but will figure it out myself, which is unfortunate.

Pros

Parsing from LinkedIn. Email functions, job boards, calendar tool is good. Graphics are ok. System runs ok

Cons

Difficult moving from page to page. Some of the minor technical issues should have been resolved. Such as updating a candidate to new employer without having to rewrite the new employers data. Was not easy transfering the old system tags to new one

Very happy with the software.

Pros

No empty fields taking up up screen space
Quick parsing and mass emailing
Easier than most to get around in and learn.
Helpful support people willing to take the time to get it right and train the staff.

Cons

The price is probably average.
We would prefer to have our data in house and to own the software.
We lose some functionality to switch to a new system but the benefits seem to outweigh the losses.

I'd recommend this product to any serious recruiter.

Pros

I love the drag and drop features. It's very easy to use, even for a beginner. Very little issues with downtime.

Cons

Some of the functionality is a little funky, meaning that it's pre-laid out in a way that isn't idea for my particular business.

Great company with strong support to quickly solve any issues or questions. Easiest system to train on as its intuitive functions are picked up within a day or two of using. Love the ability to sync it with multiple job boards, google platform and website. Affordable system that will make your team better in communication and organization.

Pros

1. Exceptionally intuitive - easily navigated with one or two days of use
2. Very Cost Friendly for the system you get compared to others that aren't as functional
3. Strong Support - quick and accurate support staff to help with questions and issues.

Cons

1. Reports could have more options as standard reports instead of having to write them up
2. Mining data could be more flexible in how you sort it for reports
3. Company data such as address and POC should transfer to "new jobs" without having to rewrite it everytime

Pros

Interface w/Linked In and Microsoft Office. The ability to add email correspondences to candidate records is very helpful.

Cons

A little clunky for navigating around but the customer support makes up for it. Customer support is now only Knowledgeable but also patient and efficient.

Pros

This is a great software, pipeline workflow makes it easy to narrow down candidates quickly. Support has been great

Cons

there are a few screens and steps that could be simplified like resume import and creating a submitting resume

Pretty good package. I am fairly happy with my purchase.

Pros

very functional. Can do most functions expensive packages can do. Better than any other package I have found in its price range.

Cons

UI needs improving. Sometimes a bit confusing to use. Should have more obvious GUIs for things like importing new candidates and search functions.

I have uses Crelate for the last 2 months, I compared it with other systems and I was hooked after the demo. The interface is much more modern than on other platforms. It is priced right for as I start my business. I felt the customer service/ the rep has been going the extra mile to have me set up. Great system for recruiters getting started

Pros

- easy to use
- Up to speed in 2 days max
- interfaced with gmail and linkedin
- Great customers service
- Interface is brand new, modern

Cons

- Some fields do not populate automatically
- The upload of the resume could be optimized, the name is missing and you would have to re type, not a bid deal though

Support is exceptionally good.

Pros

Visually appealing and many features. The resume and other document upload feature is nice and seeing the full resume on one click is helpful. It syncs with Outlook for email which is useful.

Cons

Many layers to each main area so can be somewhat difficult in the beginning to understand where to find all components. The duplicate candidate feature is a good feature but a clunky operation.

General: Best part is the customer service team. They are super helpful and patient. And, they are willing to take our comments and feedback to the developers. For the most part I like the software and I think I'll like it more as I grow more accustomed to it.

Pros

I have a boutique domestic help recruiting firm. Crelate helps keep us organized so that my partner and I can tag-team on our searches, and stay on the same page all the time. I love that we can use it from our phones or computers. I love that we can store all our data in their, work flow, status of each search, each candidate, each client at any moment.

Cons

There are a lot of limitations I'm hoping Crelate will work through. I still have to use a lot of other external documents. I am still learning how to use the software. Some of it is intuitive, some of it is confusing and hard to learn. And sometimes things don't work as they should. But the developers and customer service team works with us every day to crank through it. We are new users and almost 'humming'.

Crelate is easy to use. For the price, I would recommend it.

Pros

I like being able to forward emails to crelate and it adds them to the client or candidate profile. It parses word resumes by sending an email to the Crelate. It is also easy to make changes to the hiring process in the tool.

Cons

I wish I could forward PDF's and it would automatically upload information.
