    Considered Both Products
    Crelate Inc.
    Chose Crelate
    My two favorite systems are Crelate and Recruitee.
    • From my experience, Crelate is the best full-service database because it allows you to track Business Development and candidate activity
    • Recruitee is very effective as an applicant tracking system

    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 …

    There is definitely a little bit of a learning curve (but this would be with any platform) but what we have loved most is the ability to centralize both relationship management and workflows. We feel it has given us much better visibility into our pipeline.We love that the platform is highly customizable (with the help of our customer success manager) which has allowed us recreate workflows that have already worked for our team and has been easy to use for our new team memebrs

    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.

    • 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.

    Cons
    Crelate Inc.
    • The Crelate ad response can be pretty touch and go. Crelate should be able to identify similar emails and phone numbers and replace them into the stage they were in.
    • Crelate needs to have better interface with job board sites such as Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, etc.

    • 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.

    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.

    Usability
    Crelate Inc.
    Like said earlier there is definitely a little bit of a learning curve but support and CS is wonderful to work with. Our team trainings have helped significantly. The ui is really easy to navigate as well, a little outdated but easy to navigate but they are in the process of improving it I believe.

    Crelate Inc.
    Usually the Crelate support is very responsive and quick to fix any problems that arise. I've personally seen emails of the threads where Crelate support was quick to resolve problems and act courteously while doing so. While I have never called their line, it seems that their phone support is also well experienced.

    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.

    • Easier to use, modern, supports drag and drop. Easy to set up and use. Fewer keystrokes
    • better support than zoho, not as good (but getting there) as PCR
    • Crelate is a smaller company, nimble and has ear of the customer
    • LIke ability to click and dial!

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Crelate Inc.
    • Can more easily organize our candidates and we have a lot of info at our fingertips - this translates to quicker processes which is positive
    • We keep all our notes on Crelate - very useful for the whole team to see
    • We have multiple team members scheduling so it really helps to see all the emails that have gone out, to ensure there's no overlap
