ApplicantPro vs. Big Biller

ApplicantPro is well suited in a environment where an employer isn't hiring a ton of people - this is because ApplicantPro is built with some automation, but you do have to pay attention to each individual candidate. ApplicantPro would be less well suited for a company looking to hire a lot of people or a company where they want to post a ton of different jobs

Big Biller is well suited for pipeline maintenance and tracking. It is not as appropriate when the business is more stagnant and pipeline tracking is not necessary.

• Notifies me when someone has applied for a position.
• Send follow-up emails to applicants.
• Relatively easy to set up a job posting.

• When you search for candidates in a big database, and want to reach them all at once via email. Big Biller provides you with the platform to build a database.
• Big Biller provides you the option to select candidates within a certain region of the country or even within a certain mile radius from a city or zip code.
• Big Biller allows you to narrow down searches to candidates who have completed certain Educational levels.

• Recently it has been a bit harder to push jobs to my Favorite job boards.
• Can be hard to reach a CSR for help.

• I'd make sure that when trading partners re-post TE colleagues' jobs that the compensation information isn't removed.
• Make it easier to report the placement of a colleague's applicant, who was never on Big Biller and/or was associated with a job order on Big Biller. A General Placement Reporting form. If it already exists, make it easier to find.
• Don't know if it's possible, but find a way to stop candidates from applying for the same job over and over and over again. I've had one candidate in particular, who keeps applying for my job via every other recruiter, who has reposted my Job Order. He is overseas and he has bombarded me with his applications for my job. I can't consider him, and I've even emailed him to stop, but he is still applying for the job. I'm beginning to think he isn't real and that his applications are actually a kind of algorithm from some kind of phishing or hacking effort.

It is a solid product that is easy to use and implement.

I would consider using Big Biller again, but they would have to make some technology changes. There are many features that come standard with most of their competitors that are not available with Big Biller.

Support is near-instantaneous and personal. The tech support team is small, which means I always know who I am talking with, and they know me.

We tried using BambooHR's built in job applications. It didn't post to near as many job sites and that is why we switched.

I choose BB over other ATS systems for 3 reasons - 1) Most of the other systems didn't have an integrated business development system and 2) BB provided great training and customer service during the initial trial and afterward. Lots of help getting started, ongoing training and support. 3) Constant updates - BB listens to its customers and when we ask for something to be tweaked, they have responded with updates.

• ApplicantPro has given us a cost-efficient way of getting our jobs out to several free job sites and does a great job of integrating with Indeed.
• We typically get a great flow of candidates when we post with ApplicantPro.

Incentivized

• We moved to Big Biller from a home grown system and there is no comparison.
• Big Biller helps me keep track of all my candidates and clients and job order projects.
