An Excellent Engagement Platform
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.
Crelate: Good for Basics
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
