ApplicantPro vs. WinSearch

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

WinSearch works for a small recruiting company with low amounts of emails. Companies, where recruiters rely on heavy email, should avoid this due to delays and slow tech support fixes. Security and data breaches have occurred, and would negatively impact any company.

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

• WinSearch parses resume's biographic info into its database well.
• WinSearch CRM database is user-friendly

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

• Winsearch provides email which is easily overwhelmed resulting in hangups and painfully slow searches. This is fixable with workarounds, but still not worth the wait if you seek a reliable software.
• Winsearch is susceptible to hacks, and security issues. The system can go down for as long as a week as a result of a hack. The resulting interruption of business makes this software package not a good buy.

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

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.

JobDiva has more functionality, and costs a bit more. I have done a demo of JobDiva, but haven't been an active user.

• 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.

• WinSearch database CRM is reliable and works well. Their email system negatively impacts my business. Security breaches and hacks could last 1 week and are very harmful to customers.
