CareerPlug has provided us an increased volume of qualified candidates to interview. Our success rate of hiring qualified candidates has increased greatly. The ability of candidates to schedule interviews electronically after they have been screened by our Directors has saved our management staff a tremendous amount of time. The overall cost is extremely competitive to other recruiting platforms we had previously used.
  • Interview scheduling ease
  • competitive cost
  • increased volume of qualified candidates
Platform suits our needs, and creates an increased volume of qualified candidates at a competitive cost.

  • CareerPlug should have a training manual.
  • There should be an easier way to add leaves and incentives
  • Interface should be more precise.
Its the best software of its kind. It has a lot of potential in it. It is perfect for companies with 1000+ employees.

We are utilizing CareerPlug as an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for our franchisees. We encourage the use of CareerPlug for all franchisees in the attraction, hiring, and recruitment of their employees. The system addresses the need for posting jobs on multiple top job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, etc.) while allowing our franchisees to seamlessly review and manage their applicants through the hiring and interview process. It also provides a great deal of reporting and insight to help create recruitment strategies for our owners across both the United States and in Canada. Our franchise owners also enjoy the onboarding features available in CareerPlug where they can send their new hires paperwork to complete virtually.
  • Posting jobs to multiple job boards
  • Sending candidate communications through the interviewing/hiring process
  • Saving and managing job templates
  • Customizing the interview/hiring process
  • Providing reporting and data
  • Easier use of editing message templates
  • Option to send mass text message communications
  • Better functionality to view account data across a franchise system for admin users
CareerPlug is a fantastic tool for any midsize business or organization looking to do moderate hiring. The system is user-friendly and makes recruitment easy. It is certainly appropriate for a company looking to hire key employees and get their jobs posted to multiple job boards.

We use CareerPlug for inputting and tracking applicants. We also use it for candidates to apply to BeMobile and our open positions. We also use CareerPlug for a portion of our hiring and onboarding process as it integrates with ADP.
  • scorecards
  • overall layout is user friendly
  • interview and hiring process laid out
  • Voyager needs a better tracking of open requisitions
  • being able to track and pull reporting when applicants are unresponsive
  • better google calendar integration
CareerPlug is great for startups and companies where people may be newer to conducting interviews and the hiring process. It is not great for some of the reporting we want or to hold our Leaders accountable to their own schedule.
