Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it almost like a CRM where we can quickly see all of our candidates in one place and manage where they are in the process. We also use it for reporting when partnering with our clients to ensure that we are moving the candidates along efficiently. I have found the statistics portion of the product to also be very helpful and I love the ability to create different views to fit what we need to see at any given moment.

Pros and Cons

Allows for lots of records for candidate information
Adds the ability to see the statistics of our data.
Makes it very easy to see all of our candidates in one place without having to go through tabs and pages of information.

I would love to see it where if I change the ordering of columns of one view it doesn't make those same changes on another view.
Sometimes I want to see things differently or in a different order and this does not allow that to happen.
The above suggestions are the main ones that I feel would be an improvement.

Most Important Features

Being accessible from anywhere with Internet connection.
Creating different, customized views
The easy ability to filter, sort, group, and hide columns has been very useful.

Return on Investment

Positive: Helps us organize our talent pipeline more effectively.
Positive: ROI is awesome since we are able to fit it into our budget properly.
Positive: Helps us to sustain the business by sharing candidate profiles with multiple clients.

Alternatives Considered

Airtable

For the value, you get much more with SeaTable including the statistics and the number of records that can be utilized on the free version. I also thoroughly enjoy the ease of adding formulas and having the reference right inside of the platform to ensure the selection of the correct formula to meet your needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

It does well as a CRM for a company to see all of their candidates or clients or whatever they are tracking. The sorting and grouping ability as well as the inclusion of many formula integrations is also helpful to organize content more meaningfully. If you don't have a lot of information that you need to track, this might have more than you require but it is still a great software to use.

Akin to a spreadsheet but so much more functionality!
