Recruiter in Human Resources at Databricks (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Glean helps me easily find information about my company. It helps me be the best recruiter I can be because I can easily look up stuff like "what is this engineering team working on?" or "how many people are based in this office?". I love that is provides quick answers for me AND the sources that it came from.

Pros

  • Find resources quick
  • AI chat bot
  • Org charts / finding people at your company
  • I like the homepage and the look of it

Cons

  • I dont think this is Glean's fault, but I wish we could integrate with slack and email and everything
  • The "thinking" portion is still a bit slow

Return on Investment

  • saving time
  • easy access to benefits

Account Executive in Sales at Carta (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am an account executive and I use Glean to find information regarding contract workflows, product information, and asking questions to the Glean Chat and Search.

Pros

  • Search for documents

Cons

  • The AI Chat can definitely improve. I will ask it questions about our sales process and it should be referencing documents that I know are in our company Glean, but it will give me the wrong answer.

Return on Investment

  • Positive ROI: Employees spending less time looking for answers to their questions because it is stored in Glean.
