Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dice for the recruitment and staffing process. I have been using Dice the last 4 years. It has been very helpful and provides a very easy Boolean search for searching the right candidates. It provides very easy sorting of the right candidates. We have more than 20 Dice IDs being used in our organization. It has been very helpful for the last 15 years for the successful sourcing of proper candidates.

Pros and Cons

Sourcing of proper candidates using various filters like visa status, years of experience, willingness to relocate, employment type, etc.
Zip search in Dice provides sourcing for local candidates
Dice Posting is another feature that is very helpful in sourcing proper candidates.

Many of the candidates don't provide their contact details which becomes very difficult in connecting with them. Hence, adding contact numbers should be a mandate for the candidates when they upload their resume.
The newer version of Dice from June 2019 has many errors such as the skills are not highlighted.
Even after applying a few filters we get results that are appropriate which is a major drawback in the new version of Dice.

Return on Investment

We have multiple logins available and it is very useful for our organization.
The newer version has many errors, hence we recommend that they give access for the older version.
Wrong email and contact numbers are provided on Dice which waste the clicks on the resume which should be avoided.

Alternatives Considered

The newer version is the biggest drawback in Dice as it has errors and bugs. Dice had the best feature for ease of use in the older version.

Support Rating

Dice provides ease of sourcing candidates and is the most useful in staffing industry. However, we still recommend the team to provide older version access to the user which was much easier and flexible to use.
Dice posting is the best feature in Dice. The Boolean Search feature in Dice is also very useful.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
