Overall Satisfaction with ClearCompany

We use ClearCompany as our applicant tracking software to funnel any/all candidates that apply within our company into one area. This helps to limit the number of websites our HR team has to utilize (indeed, zip, monster, etc.) and keeps everything in one core area for easy access and workflow. It has eliminated repetitive responses by allowing for a bulk reply to numerous candidates who apply. The different workflows (which you can customize) keep candidates organized and moving quickly through our application and background check process.
  • Provides one stop for all job posting sites.
  • Organized workflows which are able to be customized.
  • Client relationships with job posting engines seem to lack.
  • Grading scales could be a bit more robust.
  • Less expensive that larger name ATS.
  • Large number of applicants to select from.
We switched from Hireology to ClearCompany, mainly for the price point. We also felt that CC could offer a bit more of a custom ATS. There are moments, though, where our management team feels that they received more applicants with Hireology than ClearCompany. I think part of the push back is since we changed our process of screening applicants, though, and the managers don't get their hands on them the second they apply.
For the most part, it's okay. There have been some instances where it was below what is expected. Each rep we've talked to has always been friendly, and for the most part, knowledgeable. Their customer support is always available, which is a big plus. We had a couple of issues that kept reoccurring, which was frustrating, but it has been handled now.

Overall, ClearCompany has been a useful tool for our Company to streamline our applicant tracking process. We like having all of our applicants/candidates in one central location online vs. numerous different job engine websites, and having to access 5+ various job boards to review candidates. We do receive a few complaints regarding the ease of use from our management team. We were with a different applicant tracking system prior, and they seemed to like that a bit better. ClearCompany has made many improvements since we've been with them. They have excited their interview scheduling process and made specific changes within the administrative task area that allows for easier bulk replies, navigation, etc. We do find that they are the middle man when it comes to client relations between the larger job engines (indeed, zip recruiter), and when there is a problem posting a job to zip recruiters site to be specific, solutions are few and far between. We still have an ongoing problem with our candidates being automatically moved into a particular workflow when they don't complete their phase one application, which is causing more manual work on our part.
