It’s well suited to track calls, phone interviews, and various notes to leave to other recruiters or people who view the profile. It’s less appropriate to access when viewing people who applied to the job positions because most of the candidates are not qualified.

AkkenCloud is great for applicant tracking systems. It is also beneficial when it comes to accounting, invoicing, and billing. It is really good at communicating with other apps/programs, and it is very easy to upload contact information for candidates.

I don't know many other scenarios, as I have been with this company for 13 years and in this industry for roughly 25 years. It is a tool that is well suited for our company and this industry in general. As a staffing company, you can accomplish nearly everything imaginable with this tool. The only area I have seen that might not be ideal is if you wanted to run all kinds of metrics. You can run a variety of reports in Akken, the data fields are limited sometimes and one would think that wouldn't need to be the case. You should be able to put whatever data you want in any field to create the report you need.

Akkencloud has worked extremely well as an ATS software for our recruiting firm. We deal with a huge volume of clients and candidates and it is difficult to track and manage the different orders and people we have in play. The statuses and on stop shop for requisition details have made things tremendously easy to give real time updates to our managers and client partners.

Akken is great for recruiting/staffing agencies. We have a lot of job orders to juggle but having Akken makes it very doable. The function of being able to save not only candidates but also clients (companies) is definitely needed for agencies. It's best used when you have a candidate's resume in the form of a document/PDF so that Akken can parse the content. In a scenario when you don't yet have a resume doc but still want to have a candidate profile for the sake of tracking notes, it's helpful that you can do that without a resume or much content. Akken may not be as helpful for internal recruiters with lower volumes.

It would not be wrong to say that working with this tool was a very good, pleasant, and positive experience. This tool has been used throughout the organization on a daily basis due to which I find it to be very handy, effective, and efficient. Also, I think that for the most optimal level results it is important for companies to use this system on a daily basis. Altogether, this tool is a great system and I would highly recommend it.

Akken could be described to be suitable for a staffing company but just spend more money on a product that is worthwhile. It is really a terrible ATS and it's a sad fact that I was not here for the selection process. Apparently people pushed for Bullhorn but it was deemed too expensive. That is shortsighted.

AkkenCloud was definitely a positive experience for me. My position at The Liberty Group was my first position as a recruiter so AkkenCloud was my first introduction to any kind of Applicant Tracking software. My experience with AkkenCloud was positive, the system was easy to use.

Akken works very well with every browser, which is a huge selling point for us since we are a Mac shop. The selling point I would add is that it works better on Firefox, which is one of the most secure browsers on the internet. Bullhorn and other competitors do not work on Firefox.
