With its advanced search options and Boolean search capabilities, users have been able to filter candidates based on required skills and criteria, creating a win-win situation for both the organization and job-seekers. The platform has proven to be a valuable resource for recruiters, coordinators, and managers to creatively source candidates and build a massive contact list.

Additionally, Dice TalentSearch has been instrumental in fulfilling resourcing needs across departments and teams within the company. It allows users to easily identify the best resources within the organization and alert team members about any potential openings. Furthermore, the product's features have been highly appreciated by talent acquisition, talent management, leaders/managers in product development and engineering, and HR departments for networking and making connections with professionals in the business community.

Moreover, Dice TalentSearch stands out as a promising big data solution that helps organizations reach the right talent, particularly in niche technologies. By gathering relevant data from multiple sites and social media platforms, it expands the pool of candidates while saving time in the hiring process. The predictive analysis feature also assists in identifying job changes, making it easier to find the right talent.

Overall, Dice TalentSearch has proven to be an invaluable tool for recruiting, sourcing, and proactively making connections with professionals. Its user-friendly interface and robust features have made it a go-to platform for finding top talent in the IT industry. Whether it's internal hiring needs or client staffing requirements, this product has consistently delivered results for users across different roles and industries.

Matching Key Skills: Users appreciate that Dice has done a good job of matching key skills with candidate profiles, making it easier to find suitable candidates for specific roles. This feature has been praised by several reviewers for its effectiveness in narrowing down the pool of potential candidates.

Integration with Other Platforms: The ability to bring in profiles from other sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter is seen as a valuable feature by users, as it expands the pool of potential candidates. Several users have mentioned this integration as a positive aspect of Dice TalentSearch.

Comprehensive Search Results: The presentation of search results on Dice TalentSearch is well-received by users. They like the inclusion of information on the consultant's search activity, role interest, salary, location, and travel preference. This comprehensive information helps in making informed decisions during the recruitment process. Numerous reviewers have commended this feature for providing detailed insights into potential candidates.

Filter for Nonsensical Profiles: Some users have suggested implementing a filter to identify and exclude candidate profiles with unrealistic demands or nonsensical information. This would address the concern of candidates with minimal experience asking for high salaries, which has been mentioned by multiple reviewers.

Incomplete Candidate Profiles: There are reports of incomplete candidate profiles with minimal content, potentially affecting the accuracy of the matching algorithm. Reviewers have expressed concerns about the lack of information provided by some candidates, indicating that this is a common issue among users.

Dated User Interface and Eye Strain: Several users find the user interface of DICE to be dated and mention that it still functions adequately. However, they also note that the UI colors are off-putting and strain their eyes. This feedback indicates that there is a consensus among reviewers regarding these usability issues.

Dice is well suited in terms of vast number of database available. Also filter like visa types and job type like temporary fulltime makes it more advance and precise.
Dice is less appropriate in terms of fake updated resume where data is shown outside but when tried to open shows 'Data not available' . Also number of resumes does not consist of phone numbers.

The Dice platform may be better suited for very large companies that have ongoing hiring needs. It did not work well for my company, which has 40 employees and only hiring for 2 positions. It also tends to be more focused toward applicants looking strictly for remote positions. I do not have a disposable budget where I can wait several months for a job post to gain traction across their platform.

DICE Open Web works well when you want to find IT specific candidates that are available in your local area. What I particularly like is that if you post a job, Dice Open Web/Talent Search will return potential candidates that meet your requirements. It is a proactive way they provide candidates from what you could do manually using their IntelliSearch tool to find candidates. I find that DICE is overall much more effective when you have a job to post and the candidates apply rather than doing a blind search. There are too many factors that make candidates returned by DICE Open Web not necessarily interested in your position. When candidates apply they have shown interest and then you can apply the Screener tool to help narrow the pool.

Dice Open Web is used internally by our teams for finding the right resources to fill open positions or also get external referrals from the employees group. grouping of jobs is a good feature and job seekers or job posters can go by their skill groups and see all the open positions. last filled positions are also having the kind of skills that met and filled the opening - which i think is an awesome feature to help candidates what was posted as needed skillset and what fulfilled the opening.

This platform is probably more suited for small to mid-size companies that may not have super specific roles and requirements. Organizations also that may not have a large budget for these types of programs also could be a good fit as it does offer some value, but probably falls behind in the cutting edge and super competitive landscape for platforms or organizations. It's probably less appropriate for large companies or places that are investing in current and cutting edge technology or products.

For any contract hiring Dice is a must you can find very good consultants and talent on the platform that will fit your job needs perfectly. Most of them have salary info on their profile which makes it super easy! For permanent hiring, it can be a bit of a challenge but still, you should be able to get worthwhile candidates.

We have closed lots of niche skill positions through Dice. The skills like data governance/stibo step/actimize developer, etc. Very few profiles are available in the market. However, we managed to close such positions through Dice Sometimes we see lots of fake profiles with wrong information provided which is really annoying and leads us to damage our reputation in front of our clients. Also, we see lots of profiles without proper information and because of that we lose our resume view.

Dice's older version was the best for sourcing proper candidates as it had the perfect filters and the results were very accurate. However, the new version of Dice released after June 2019 has many drawbacks and errors in terms of applying various filters. Hence, we would recommend the Dice team clear the errors or help the users with the older version which was much more flexible and easy to use.

Dice is very useful for targeting candidates with niche skills and is also useful for targeting all levels of profile i.e mid, senior, Junior, Architect, SME, etc. Sometimes the profiles filtered are not relevant to the string we're searching for.

Employees should use Dice Open Web portal majorly compared to the other portal as it is well suited and highly rated by other organizations. It always builds a positive relationship between employees and candidates. It helps us to find a correct candidate at the proper time, and also it benefited candidates as well.

If most of the roles that you are working on are IT-oriented (Software Engineers, Architects, Developers, etc.) then this tool will definitely help you reach the right pool of candidates. It is a good combination of results that they consolidate from different sites hence, we don't have to visit separate job portals for a single requirement.

Well suited for IT/Technology/Engineering companies who are hiring many people, but also who can Sponsor H1 type candidates. Less appropriate if your business cannot Sponsor and if you have a mix of other roles like sales, finance, etc. (non-IT/Engineering).

Dice Open Web helped us a lot on finding candidates on niche technology like Baan ERP. We have scarcity of resources on this technology. So it would have been tougher to find it otherwise. Dice Open Web does this pretty well by searching over the web for candidates who will meet the requirements and presenting us with rich profile of the user to take informed decisions on the candidates.
