Brazen has emerged as a go-to solution for quick virtual engagement, rendering in-person job fairs obsolete. Users have found Brazen to be an easy-to-use platform with an impressive user interface, aesthetic, and reporting functions. The flexibility it provides for hosting virtual events, along with its comprehensive online support, has garnered positive feedback from users. Brazen has proven effective in finding top talent, streamlining the recruiting process, and making data-driven decisions more efficiently. It has eliminated no-shows and scheduling conflicts by enabling short pre-screening interviews via video or text-based chats. By offering multiple virtual events throughout the year, Brazen solves the problem of limited space on campuses and allows for increased recruitment from a wider range of schools and geographic areas. The platform's seamless communication features, such as chat and video interviews, have made it easier for recruiters to connect with job seekers in a hassle-free manner. Brazen also facilitates intentional conversations with candidates and offers the convenience of hosting virtual career fairs and 1:1 chats. It has been particularly valuable during the pandemic, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for virtual hiring. Overall, users have had an amazing experience with Brazen and appreciate its ability to simplify the recruitment process and connect with a broader pool of candidates.

Transcript Review Feature: Users appreciate the ability to review transcripts of engagements after chats have closed with candidates.

Complete Resume View and Note-taking Option: Users highly value the option to have a complete view of all resumes within the Brazen platform.

Confusing Setup Process: Some users initially found the setup process to be confusing, requiring time and effort to understand. Although they eventually became familiar with the platform, a more intuitive initial setup would have been preferred.

We use Brazen to host job fairs. Some have been community job fairs open to several businesses from various industries and some have been company specific to help one of our clients hire workers for several departments.
  • Allowing exhibitor customization within virtual booths
  • Managers participants (job seekers) really well setting up queues for exhibit booths
  • East administration using a real-time event dashboard
  • Allow company reps to refer participants to other reps in their booth
  • Dashboard for employers to see how many participants are in queue to speak with them. Employer reps don't seem to know how much volume they have waiting
  • 2 way communication via chat for administrator to employer reps may be helpful
Job fairs, resource fairs. May not be as well suited for conference that encourages networking among participants.
  • Easy to use
  • Virtual booths and managing participants
  • Administrator dashboard and reports
  • Allowed us to hold job fair events when in person was not an option
  • Works well for certain industries such as tech where their uses are more tech savy
  • Not as useful for non-tech savvy populations such as construction workers, retail, entry-level, blue collar jobs.

We have used Brazen for many virtual events across the organization. It helps us connect with potential candidates for our open positions! There have been many new enhancements that have been launched recently that are great, specifically the scheduled chat. This helps us choose which candidates we connect with and when.
  • Supporting virtual career events.
  • Excellent chat functionality.
  • Seamless & easy for candidates to use.
  • No complaints!
Brazen is well suited for organizations, regardless of size. The seamless connectivity between the recruiter and the candidate is great. It has specifically helped us connect with mass candidates, during times of high volume recruiting. I think if you are hiring for a very niche role, using Brazen for a virtual event might not be for you. Probably better suited to source through LinkedIn.
  • Virtual events
  • Chat functionality
  • We have definitely seen an uptick in hires.

Brazen is being used for virtual campus recruiting across most of our organizations. It is easy for both students/candidates to use and recruiting team/business professionals. It connects both parties on an easy-to-use platform that eliminates the need for individual school events and travel.
  • Candidate rating
  • Organizing 1:1 meetings on a large scale.
  • Flexible
  • My experience with Brazen has only been positive.
Brazen is well-suited for large virtual career fairs and coffee chats. Brazen can also be used during a virtual interview day and post-offer to connect prospective employees with current teams, projects, contacts, etc.
  • Feedback on candidate chats.
  • Multi-booth functionality.
  • Video chat option.
  • Higher candidate engagement at a lower cost.

Our company uses brazen as a recruitment tool for sourcing and hiring our most difficult to fill and urgent need positions, typically those that have been open for over 90 days. It is used for various roles across the hospital setting, clinical and non-clinical. We were recommended the product by another one of our organization's divisions who had success using it in the past.
  • Easy to use platform.
  • Great customer service.
  • Expedites recruitment process.
  • I’d like there to be more than one recruiter allowed in a single “booth.”
  • It would be great to have a 2-way video option so we could chat with candidates face to face.
  • Screen share and document sharing would also be great so review benefits information.
It is best for recruiters working remotely, allowing them to meet candidates virtually. It’s also best for hard-to-fill positions as well as less difficult to fill. However, it is only efficient if advertised appropriately so that you have a high candidate flow to review and speak with. Otherwise, you may have a couple of candidates the entire day.
  • Ease of use.
  • Pricing.
  • Efficiency.
  • Filling various urgent need positions.
  • Decrease average time to fill positions aged 90 days+.
  • Positive response in candidate experience.

Brazen in used in our Talent Acquisition department. We were a Brazen customer pre-covid so we were already ahead of the curve when it came to having a virtual platform to connect with job seekers. We use Brazen to host virtual events for job seekers, host weekly chat sessions with nurses and allied health professionals, and use the platform as a live chat function so we can have several ways for applicants to connect with our recruiters.
  • Great virtual event management
  • Easy user experience from an administrator's perspective
  • Integrating with other systems (CRMs, Careers Site, etc.)
  • Data management and reporting
  • Great customer service
  • Quick and efficient support
  • Recruiters being able to transfer chats to another recruiter during a live event
  • More robust reporting/analytics
  • In-person event management so that we can use one platform for all events regardless of if they are in-person or virtual
It's difficult to think of a scenario where Brazen wouldn't be worth it. With the state of the recruitment world, it's a job seekers market. It's important now more than ever to give job seekers more convenient ways to connect with recruiters and get their questions answered. Brazen is a great platform for teams both big and small.
  • Quick Chat
  • Career Site Integration
  • CRM Integration
  • 1:1 video chat in addition to text
  • Being able to manage events ourselves
  • Quick Chat has proven to be the biggest source of hires with the platform
  • We had 200+ hires last fiscal year associated with Brazen
  • Better candidate experience
None of the other platforms could compare to Brazen. Brazen offers many features and we really needed a system we could automate, and that could integrate well with some of our other systems versus a stand-alone system. Brazen is much easier to use from both the job seeker's and recruiter's points of view.
