SkillSurvey, now part of the iCIMS Talent Cloud vs. Waves

SkillSurvey really is great for reference checks and how to communicate with the contacts provided. It's a great way to easy view the reports, ensure that someone is not filling out their own reference information, and being able to contact passive candidates that have interest in your organization. The templates are easy to generate once you use them a couple times.

There really is no scenario that Waves could not be used well suited for a studio environment. For instance, when I have someone come over to record, I use waves tune realtime in post production. And it really helps just get the flat/sharp notes on key easily. And the Abbey Road collection!! WOW!!! It sounds so good! Also, I use the API and SSL on my master chain to give it that "polished" feel in the end

• It is very easy to use, so we don't have to spend time training others how to process reference checks.
• SkillSurvey seems to gather many more responses than other vendors used. This is great because it stops us from having to physically call additional references.
• We're able to gather leads from the references who complete the link and opt to be contacted by a recruiter. In the HR/recruitment world, this is seen as free leads!

Waves seems to be the industry standard for mixing plugins. It integrates well with most DAWs and even has the option for Waves sound grid for live mixing. Using a DAW like Cubase, Protools, etc could introduce latency, while Sound Grid provides a near latency-free experience. Other solutions could prove to be difficult to implement.

• We're able to collect more references, which allows us to clear candidates to start their jobs quicker.
• The additional leads collected are sent to recruiters who are then able to have more candidates to reach out to for potential future employment.

• It gave me the ability to tune vocals without them sounding "autotuned," therefore, making the singer feel like they sang it that much better. Just a confidence booster.
• It gives me the opportunity for simply mastering a song. If a customer only wants a song mastered, I can effectively do that.
• It is a bit costly when you first purchase, but it makes up for itself when you need it. I feel like it was money well spent.
