Exelare - the best platform for any recruiting agency

Amazing customer support - quick responses - live support is so helpful and can resolve problems quickly.

PROS

Ease of use and the fact that I can set every tab to look and work the way we like it. We can set certain fields to be required before the consultants can save the information - that helps overcome user reluctance to do the work and ensures we have at least the basic info saved.

CONS

The mobile app interface. It's a bit clunky and doesn't offer a viable solution.

Reason for choosing Exelare

Exelare was so much more user friendly and gives much more bang for the buck!

Reasons for switching to Exelare

Needed something with many more functions. And Exelare was the answer. Best for the money!

Not glamorous but very productive!

We are a 5 person, boutique recruiting firm that specializes in the insurance industry. We place mid-level to executive level positions across the country. We have a database of 40,000 candidates and needed a better way to track, code, organize and access the information. Exelare solved that for us. The product is very easy to navigate and figure out. You are not forced to do things a single way. So we were able to develop our own processes that fit our business model. Bullhorn forced you to follow their process. We also really like the support. They are extremely responsive and very willing to help us customize the product.

PROS

What I like most is the customization, support and capability of this software. We came from Bullhorn, which has a great user interface but is not easy or cheap to customize (unless you have a lot of users). We have 5 users and this product works very well for us. We like the integration with Outlook and how it posts jobs on our website. We like the speed of support and their willingness to work with us on many different issues.

CONS

There is not much we don't like about the product. Most things that we come up with, they are able to fix.

Reason for choosing Exelare

Cost and functionality.

Reasons for switching to Exelare

Bullhorn was very limited. They force you to do things their way. We also felt like a "small fish" when we contacted support. I know their clientele consists of some of the largest staffing firms in the world. But we're small and wanted a company that valued us. Exelare definitely appreciates us and it shows. We get an email monthly from one of their support staff just asking how everything is going (and it doesn't seem automated). They just care. We did not get any of that at Bullhorn.

Decent system for the price.

PROS

The price is affordable. It is well organized. Looks nicer than a lot of the competition. Good outlook integration for email. Resume parsing is accurate. You can source multiple sites (internal database + CB + Monster) under one search. Keeps everything organized under one package.

CONS

Lacks a lot of features compared to competitors. Web based version only works on Silverlight, so any browser that has been updated in the past 2 years will not run the application, if you use web apps via your browser to pull information for your SMS / Phone system plug in, it will not work. Lack of 3rd party integrations, you are forced to use their approved vendors (RingCentral or Skype can only be used for PC / Desktop phone calls. Some Canadian company I've never heard of for the SMS / Texting features, only can use DocuSign to digitally sign documents, Drip marketing is also only available through SendGrid, etc.) They have custom API access but in order to even see what that info is, or any documentation on it you need to upgrade to the per month plan. If you email there sales / marketing team about ideas, or if they are planning on fixing something down the road you will rarely hear back. No full custom automation, they have Database Triggers but nothing that sends and reply's to emails automatically via the app. You can set that up via Outlook but it hardly saves much time. You can add your companies branding to resume submitting, however it will not remove the candidates information. LinkedIn Chrome plugin hasn't worked in a long time. Requires A LOT of manual data entry for tedious tasks

Exelare ATS & CRM

It is ok especially when the reporting can be customized as per your need, the CRM gives you enough bandwidth to add and remove clients of your choice and categorized as per the importance.

PROS

The customization of the ATS & CRM as per you need. Adding external candidates to the ATS.

CONS

The downtime and user interface needs a lot of improvement.

Reason for choosing Exelare

It has helped the entire company using the ATS & CRM of the product. The Sales are able to prioritize their CRM and the Recruitment team are using ATS effectively.

Exelare: Functional, User-Friendly, Highly-Customizable, Affordable...all things you want!

Our business is very fast-paced. Our candidate base is very fluid and work with multiple companies to keep a full schedule. Exelare allows us the ability to maintain a robust candidate pipeline, quickly sift through them and reach out quicky and efficiently via email or text. The note taking functionality is easy for documenting phone conversations. Setting a future contact via a "Task" is so easy and the calendar/task list functionality makes it easy to manage your day.

PROS

We love Exelare for its ease of use, its rich feature set, its integration with Outlook, and the ability to text candidates directly from the application. It has awesome candidate upload/resume parse capability, easy look-up capabilities using one or more filters and a very robust resume search capability. It allows you to work fast and efficiently. The support team is so responsive and will work with us to help customize as many features as possible...and we ask for a lot! I love the support team - responsive, creative and service-focused. I can't say enough about Exelare. This is my second company where I have implemented (easily) and used Exelare for candidate recruitment and management. Our user base is spread across the United States and everyone has embraced Exelare because of its ease of use and functionality. My quote is, "It has everything you want and nothing that you don't." I am happy to serve as a reference point if anyone is interested in hearing more about my experience with Exelare.

CONS

I cannot think of any shortcomings at this time. I have used it for so long and as mentioned, the support team has been so accomodating when we have asked for a customized report or new feature. They are terrific.

Reasons for switching to Exelare
