Crelate links all candidates to the company that they work for. This is extremely important to quickly identify profiles in the database with the companies that they work for. Sounds simple but very important!

Consultant in Sales (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

Drag and Drop - easy to move candidates through the recruitment process.
Intuitive- easy to learn and manage.
Interfaces well with emailing and texting.
Built in support for MS Word.
Knowledgeable support.
Supports telephone click-to-dial.
Easy to cross reference contact records using "@" symbol - very nice feature.

Cons

Would be better to incorporate texting feature directly to my existing phone number, rather than use a separate system.
Sending calendar invites is a little hard to remember how to do - could be a bit more intuitive.
Need faster support - online chat would be great.
Click to dial works well, but would be nice to "record" the event in the contact record.

Return on Investment

Saves a lot of time with email templates
Candidate duplication prevention and removal is great!

Talent Engagement Associate at Strategic Employment Partners (SEP) (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

Crelate has a very useful SMS system where you can engage with candidates via text and receive quick responses
Crelate has generally useful widgets such as bookmarks, engagement activities, and ad response tracking

Cons

The Crelate ad response can be pretty touch and go. Crelate should be able to identify similar emails and phone numbers and replace them into the stage they were in.
Crelate needs to have better interface with job board sites such as Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, etc.

Return on Investment

Crelate has helped me become more focused on multitasking and being able to manage multiple individuals.
Crelate has helped me become more time effective with their scheduling and notification features.

Rachel Segal-Sklar View profile

Recruiting Associate in Human Resources at Parity - Partners (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

The way that all the information about a candidate is readily available at the top of their profile is great and very helpful
The amount of filters you can use to sort through candidates is really useful
The Crelate team is really responsive to inquiries and suggestions

Cons

Interface isn't great - there's a lot of clicking around required that I wish was streamlined
This isn't a self-explanatory platform - you have to dig around a while before you figure out how to use some features, like the filtering of contacts, for example. There's a place that you'd think you filter, but that actually changes the contacts list instead.
It often crashes and you have to sign out and sign back in for it to work again.

Return on Investment

Can more easily organize our candidates and we have a lot of info at our fingertips - this translates to quicker processes which is positive
We keep all our notes on Crelate - very useful for the whole team to see
We have multiple team members scheduling so it really helps to see all the emails that have gone out, to ensure there's no overlap
