Broadbean is a great tool which makes my life 100 times easier. A must have!
Broadbean has been a great addition ever since it was implemeted into our systems. It's a tool I use daily and really enjoy using too!
PROSI love the ability to integrate Broadbean into our current CRM. It was very easy and has been reliable ever since implementation with no downtime at all to get the tool implemented and ready to use
CONSI don't like the fact that sometimes the notifications for CVs submitted don't come through. This can have a negative impact sometimes but often I check the tool regularly any way so I pick up on these things and catch them before it's too late.

Best Job Board Aggregator on the Market
Broadbean has been a great partner with us. We love their product and really wish we would be able to utilize their resume search feature within our current ATS. Their Job Posting function which we currently use works without any issues. We very rarely have any issues with Jobs not posting correctly. Overall a great product that does exactly what you need it to do.
PROSThe best ability with this software is the quickness and usability. When I say quickness, I am referring to how fast the tool finds results and uploaded them into the ATS (applicant tracking system). The code they have built is much better than any competitor on the market. Usability is a big plus for this software as well. Their UI is very straight forward and easy to use. They have updated their UI so it does not look old and clunky unlike some of their competitors. Broadbean integrates extremely well into other SaaS solutions in particular Bullhorn ATS. We recently moved away from Bullhorn and now only use Broadbean for a job posting tool (which works very well) and we dearly miss the candidate search functionality.
CONSDuplicate management is very tough with any resume parser. So many people use so many different styles and formats of resume, catching duplicates becomes very tough. I thought Broadbean could use some enhancement on this front. We are constantly dealing with resume entering our system that are duplicates and causing data integrity issues. If you have a messy database you might consider investing in duplication checks along with a product like Broadbean
Reason for choosing Broadbean
TextKernal was not available on the Salesforce platform at the time we moved aways from Bullhorn ATS.
Reasons for switching to Broadbean
Daxtra has been very hard to work with. Their product take a very long time to parse resumes into our database. Duplication checking (or profiles failing to insert) is a complete nightmare. We run a very fast-paced business and Daxtra struggles to keep up.

In its basic form it seems to do the job
The ability to post jobs quickly to the paid boards from Bullhorn. If you want to post quickly to Dice, it is a must have as their is no posting integration that is native to Bullhorn
CONSThe way candidates are brought into the system and some past experience we had with fields being auto populated. it may have been fixed, but we just don't use those fields for data

Decent for posting adverts to multiple sources and integrations
Definitely recommend trialing it as a tool. I think it's one of the most widely used in the Agency Staffing / Recruitment industry so reliable and likely it will have the integrations that you need. No doubt that Broadbean is a time saver for posting job adverts to multiple sources - no more copy and pasting, having to remember multiple logins and you can even refresh them quickly. It's also very handy to have a record of all your old positions when you have similar ones that you can reference. Another good feature is that if you have a good integration with your ATS / CRM, then you will be able to track job board sources automatically, have the applicants linked to the position and then use the data to track ROI. Admins can manage users and permissions easily too - including allowing posting to company social networks without needing to share login details.
PROSNo frills tool that does what it says on the tin. You can link it to your ATS / CRM, job boards and social profiles and it will push out all of your postings. Ad responses are then received to your email and tracked centrally.
CONSI never find much use for the 'CV Portal' feature where you rate the ad responses as prefer to use my email inbox where I can reply to and keep track of all responses in one place. It's also not the most advanced or fully featured tool, but that's not necessarily a bad thing to keep things simple and reliable, instead of unnecessarily complicated.

Saves so much time if you use multiple Job Boards
Overall, it is a good software that will save a lot of time for Recruiters if they are using multiple job boards to post their jobs on.
PROSIf you use more than one Job Board, this software will save you time. First used this in 2015, and the best feature which we used all the time was to post how Job Adverts on Broadbean, and Boradbean will post/advertise you job across all of the Job Boards that you use. Without this you would usually have to go to each Job Board and post your advert which can be extremely time consuming if you are using 3 or more Job Boards which a lot of Recruitment companies do.
CONSNothing really to complain about with Broadbean. Occasionally I had problems with the Software freezing on me, but this was not a re-occurring issue. Also, if you do have problems with the Software it can be a nightmare to reach Customer Service.

Great One Stop Sourcing/Posting Tool
Ease of use is what took our company from Daxtra to Broadbean. The user-friendliness of Broadbean was much better than competitors. Our user found fewer issues with the integration with our ATS. The concept of shortlisting matched out compnay terminolgy as well, which made training much smoother.
CONSSupport can tend to point the finger at the other vendors. Since Broadbean deal with all the job boards, we tend to see that they would alwasy point the finger at the other vendors when there are issues.

Ease of Job Distribution to all my channels
I love the ease of the platform and it being able to integrate with my CRM, because of my set up I barely even know that I'm leaving my CRM. Which is great and I stay in one ecosystem not having to jump around.
CONSIt is a bit pricy compared to the other platforms out there.

Time effective solution that allows us to create standardised posts on multiple sites in one simple action
PROSSimple integration with major job boards and the company website, allowing us to post to multiple sites in one action. The software also, thanks to it's integration with the CRM, pulls information directly from the database to create detailed posts.
CONSA more interesting UI might make the experience better for users with easy to see analytics for job board success.

Great for reach, but looks like the interface was designed in 1990
Overall, this software is very useful and the customers do not see the issues, it is mainly the users that it should be improved for.
PROSThe fact that you can easily reach a number of platforms from one place when posting, meaning that you ultimately spend less time on marketing.
CONSThe interface is very outdated, and it is not very functional and you can achieve the bare minimum. Still works, but could be improved hugely.

Good asset for staffing
Overall it is easy to work with support and is almost always up and running as a service. Broadbean also has a good amount of integration options for whatever applicant tracking system you are currently using.
PROSVery good user interface for recruiters to use while searching for candidates and for passive recruiting. Job posting is also very straightforward.
CONSNo auto user provisioning makes it a pain to add users to another system. Manually changing credentials could be a smoother process as well.

Promesse non tenues d'intégration avec notre ATS
Aucun, car nous n'avons pas eu bénéficié de leur service
CONSNous avons choisi Broadbean car ils nous ont vendu une intégration avec notre ATS. Le paiement a été demandé en avance. Après 6 mois et après avoir être renvoyé entre Broadbean et notre ATS, Broadbean refuse de nous rembourser. On nous a même proposé de nous réabonner pour 3 ans ! Leur argument, ils ne sont pas responsables et c'est la faute de l'ATS. Une expérience particulièrement mauvaise et nous avons dépensé plusieurs k€ pour .... rien.

BroadBean is Great
I love the website design and how easily accessible it is. The green and white colors of the web page are very consistent with the logo which I liked to see. As a college student in my last year, it makes finding a job so much easier with its wide network of employers.
CONSThis software could be a bit faster, for it was lagging a lot throughout my user experience. That deterred me from using this product more often. However, if things were a little more user friendly in terms of speediness, I would rely on this website much more.

Broadbean
Overall it is a useful tool with some great features.
PROSThe best feature of broadbean in my opinion is the ability to integrate into CRM. The tool is very reliable and user friendly as well. It is very straightforward to use.
CONSThere are some kinks with duplicate resumes that the tool has not picked up on. Also, sometimes the notifications do not work. The auto populated fields are also wonky sometimes.
