Ducknowl vs. VidCruiter

Ducknowl team has all the features we needed, their team was very helpful in setting the account and we were live within 5 working days. We used it to hiring support team. It worked really great for these jobs since they were able to quickly short the resumes using keyword matching and also conduct one way video interviews in no time.

VidCruiter is best suited for those that want to be paperless and go the digital route. VidCruiter gives the option to record the live interviews so they remain on the platform if we ever need to go back to review. In my opinion there is not a scenario where this is not appropriate, because if you don't see a function of interest, VidCruiter will consider creating it or figure a way to make it happen for you

Incentivized

• Resume Shorting
• One way video interviewing
• Good for all type of hiring like sales jobs, support jobs, technical jobs

• VidCruiter is my first Applicant Tracking System but it was still relatively easy to set up exactly to our needs and there was lots of support over email and the phone / internet meetings during the setup and after. It is easy to use and update too, no coding ability needed.
• The integrated video and live interviews are unique to VidCruiter and why we chose it over competing products. They are easy to setup and use and provide the HR staff with a much more personal feeling for who the applicants are.
• The auto rating of the applicants and their references along with the easy rating of applicant video interviews and any other data entered sorts applicants after what abilities are important to your company and makes it easy to start with the most suited candidates and work your way down.

• Assessments could be improved with more diverse options, especially for real estate industry.
• It can take some finagling to get the correct user access setup and running.
• Video interviewing feature is nice but can be built out more to compete with other conferencing tools that are cheaper, such as Google Meet.

Incentivized

• Humanizing the experience for applicants
• Give more information about how the video will be used
• Clarity on deadlines for performance task
• The error message is vague ("Either you have withdrawn from this process or the deadline to complete this process has been reached") which one? You should know!

This is our first season of using VidCruiter or any ATS. We are very happy with the time saved and level of organization and clarity that using VidCruiter has provided. We have a ton of ideas for improvements for the next season, and the flexibility of the system, the easy setup and maintenance and the very responsive support from VidCruiter makes this easy.

The system is easy and has built in explainers

I think it stacks up pretty well. There are some established names behind their competitors, and they have held their own. I selected Ducknowl as the best because of the features it has. The video portion of the software is superior to the other ones, and I think aside from a glitch here and there, their product is overall consistent, whereas their competitors have some notable flaws.

We selected VidCruiter over Spark Hire mostly because of the ability to edit rubrics. In a world where equity is at the top, we must be able to rate candidates in a non-biased way and being able to edit the rubrics allows us to do so. We also through customer service was top notch at VidCruiter and decided to keep using it (we considered switching to Spark Hire at one point)

Incentivized

• We needed a platform that could do video interviews and resume parsing, Ducknowl has everything we required in a single platform and at a great price.

• It could be a great ROI for those who are able to manage daily
• When not in use, overall contract terms still apply.
• Does need a good amount of time invested in using.
