We use AkkenCloud for applicant tracking, notes on employees/employers, contact information for employees/employers, job postings to our website, placing employees on assignment, and billing information for our employers. It helps us stay organized by being able to keep track of our employees, as we have multiple recruiters that may come across the same employee when sourcing. It is also helpful when we input employees' time cards/hours into AkkenCloud for billing purposes.

Akken is our CRM/ATS and our primary focus as a Staffing Agency is recruiting and tracking candidates for our clients, so functionally, AKKEN is the perfect tool. We were one of Akken's first customers, and have been with them through a lot of changes. Overall, the system has improved dramatically over the past 10-11 years that we have been using it. It is not the perfect system by any means, but it has workarounds for most of the issues, and in their defense, it's nearly impossible to design a system that is one size fits all for every recruiting group because every recruiter and every recruiting company has their own way of doing things.

Akken is used by all of us in the company. Personally, I use it for its applicant tracking functions. It helps me to keep organized and know where I am with candidates throughout to process, from initial contact to a job offer. Because my coworkers can access all notes as well, this helps to avoid any confusion. Had I been using just a spreadsheet that was accessible to only me, my teammates wouldn't know what was going on in my process. Our office manager and CEO use Akken for its back-office functions as well.

AkkenCloud is a great cloud-based ATS tool that offers a complete suite of features. This tool is currently being used on a daily basis by my whole organization in order to manage large amounts of data which are related to employees, customers, contacts, and even billing. This product has undoubtedly provided my company with a ‘One Stop Solution’ to solve all the problems. AkkenCloud is a very easy-to-use tool with a very user-friendly interface so the usability increases with that as well.

We use it as an ATS system for a recruiting business. We also use it for various other functions related to staffing as it helps with configuring payroll for contractors and managing their assignments. It is supposed to handle both sides of this business efficiently.

We use AkkenCloud on a daily basis, all the time at our organization. As a staffing agency, we use it for candidates, companies, job orders, etc. It is being used by the entire organization and it addresses many problems - it helps us to keep track of all candidates and it provides a place that we can look, remotely or at work, for notes on everyone and everything.
