The best CAT solution available on the market.
- Create customized fields
- Create workflows that fit your business needs
- Integrated with MS Office products
- Nothing I can think of
- Customization of record fields for different record types.
- Workflow options (if I select "this" then "this" option will appear.
- Reporting is extremely limited. Practically zero customization, outside of time periods. There are some boxed reports, but they are very general.
- Database search was difficult to work with. The filters were fine, but if you deal with a large volume of candidates, this is not the software. We had a database of over 90,000 candidates and the system was not able to handle that very well. My searches timed out almost every time. I had to adjust a filter to get the resulting number low enough for it to handle the volume. Then, I had to run the search again with a different filter to include the candidates left off on the first search. I called support multiple times on this issue and they could never give me a reason why.
- API is very limited. Getting data out of the system was not easy and it did not play well with webhooks.
- No automation.

- We find the add-ons very useful.
- Customer support is always friendly and helpful.
- E-mail integration and job postings save us a lot of time.
- When forwarding resumes if there is a position listed in subject it automatically adds them to a job order. This has caused a lot of confusion for us.
- E-mail integration is useful but doesn't always seem to work.
- Sometimes the site is slow.

Vetted Review

- The system streamlines the hiring/approval process by automatically generating emails and tasks for the necessary persons involved.
- Customer Service is quite prompt and responsive.
- CATS may be inadequate for all of our needs, but they are making major improvements.
- The system's user interface is clumsy and not organized very well.
- CATS is not mobile-friendly.

- Simple to implement, SaaS based tool that needs no in-house IT support or resources
- Customizable reports, labels, fields, applications
- Affordable
- No long term contract, month-to-month with ability to cancel anytime
- Data backups are simple
- Email directly from the candidate record with response coming into Outlook is easy to configure and creates record and updates status automatically
- System isn't intuitive at all when it comes to combining things like Source when left free form - for example. Considers Indeed and indeed two different sources because one candidate capitalized and one didn't (these can be merged)
- Resumes forwarded to resume inbox invariably capture source as senders email, even if source is clearly spelled out (can be edited later)
- Importing resumes has some trouble with addresses and phone numbers with certain file types/configuration

Vetted Review

- Custom fields for all entities of any data type let's you track what you care about. Also customizable workflow with triggers can save a ton of time in automating processes and also ensuring steps aren't missed/established processes and protocols are adhered to.
- Support is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and committed to resolving any issue.
- Integrations with LinkedIn, job boards etc. is a big time saver and helps bring it all to one place.
- I would like to see either an integration with a robust reporting tool that would allow me to design my own custom reports with a data export or more built-in reporting options.
- Mobile app is currently mostly just a look-up tool. I would like it to have the ability to do more - add tasks, update pipelines, etc.

CATS is the best ATS I have ever used
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- Favorite thing about CATS - it does not disrupt how you work. It is easy to use and simply enhances what you are doing and doesn't bog you down in the technology.
- Love the one-click download of profiles from all sorts of sites, including LinkedIn.
- Mass actions are pretty common in ATS systems, but as usual CATS does it very logically and easily. I use mass actions all the time, either sending a bunch of emails, changing candidate status, etc.
- Reporting has improved over the years but could still be better. It is what I would call "semi-customizable" in terms of what I can generate a report on, but would like full customization capability.
- Mobile access is OK but not slick. Usually I don't need mobile access but every once in a while I'm out somewhere, need to grab something out of CATS and I can get it but I think there's a good opportunity to make it better.

- CATS is great for user friendliness and customization. I have changed numerous things since I started and it is easy to customize.
- Ability to get answers to my questions.
- Always looking to improve their product -- they aren't looking to maintain their product, they are always looking for better ways and ways to make the user happy.
- Ability to keep the status the same but send another email within the log activity function.
- Ability to change things in an order that is closed.

- Launches jobs to multiple sites
- Inexpensive
- Easy to use
- There is just one report, a job order report, which can have "quick notes, job location, recruiter name, etc. added to the reports. But we need basic reports on individual recruiter productivity, and CATS doesn't offer any. Its weird because we enter the data, but there's just no quick reports to pull the information we've entered and print a simple report on a recruiter's monthly/quarterly/yearly productivity such as placements, interviews, submittals, etc.

- It's intuitive. You don't need an instruction manual or extensive training from an implementation team. There are weekly webinars and YouTube videos in case you need additional guidance on how to do something.
- It has many of the bells and whistles of other, more expensive ATS's.
- I've had several disappointing interactions with the product support team. Don't expect much from customer service.
- It's unlikely you will pass an AAP/EEO audit with their limited reporting capability.

CATS... It works!
- CATS is mobile enabled and lets me get candidate information when I'm on the go.
- CATS also has a very strong support department. Anytime that we've had a problem a real live person has been able to help us resolve the problem and has done so quickly.
- CATS is very intuitive and allows me to manage my candidates quickly.
- The safeguard to protect your database from duplicates is absolute trash. It catches duplicates less than half of the time.
- CATS could definitely do a better job at being able to be sorted by multiple features rather than just one column at a time

CATS is for YOU
- Allows you to keep lists of companies or individuals.
- Stores thousands of databases, lists, candidates and job orders.
- Quick and thorough responses from Support and eager to help.
- I would like for old lists to be accessible, I'm unable to see all lists.
- When uploading names, not all duplicates are found, therefore, CATS can improve on eliminating duplication.

- Clean, modern, easy to use, quick to learn
- Seamlessly integrates with social media and job posting services to share your jobs with the public
- Being able to customize fields, workflows, and the job portal is the absolute best part of CATS!
- Missing functionality includes ability to organize and label documents within a candidate's profile - we host technical assessments, resumes, addt'l documents - yet they are almost always marked by CATS as resumes and thus show up in the resume preview window
- The reporting #s and activity reports have some weird quirks that need to be worked out so we can get accurate #s/reports
