Big Biller vs. Crelate

It is a well-organized software that helps recruiters get their Job Orders and Applicants connected with other recruiters and ultimately make placements. To be honest, I don't use it as much as I could, but it works well for me, and I would recommend it to any recruiters out there that are looking to make placements.

Crelate Talent is well suited for applicant management. It also works functionally well with other job boards and websites such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc. Crelate Talent seems to be mainly used for a mid- to large-scale business rather than a small business, for an applicant tracking system, as the management features work best with an existing candidate pool.

• A few too many clicks for recording activities.

It is not up to the recruiters to renew Big Biller. That is a decision made by higher level executives.

It works, but not sure that it's the best/we might try out alternatives first.

Support is near-instantaneous and personal. The tech support team is small, which means I always know who I am talking with, and they know me.

Usually the Crelate support is very responsive and quick to fix any problems that arise. I've personally seen emails of the threads where Crelate support was quick to resolve problems and act courteously while doing so. While I have never called their line, it seems that their phone support is also well experienced.

It came down to which was easier to use. Big Biller has a very straightforward layout and clear instruction, I preferred to use it simply for that.

My two favorite systems are Crelate and Recruitee.

• From my experience, Crelate is the best full-service database because it allows you to track Business Development and candidate activity
• Recruitee is very effective as an applicant tracking system

Incentivized

• I can access from anywhere allowing me to travel without having to bring along paper files.
• Using BB has improved my candidate management helping to stay on top of interviews and follow ups.
• Business development has improved since I only have to use one system instead of an ATS, separate CRM and email management tool.

Incentivized

• Can more easily organize our candidates and we have a lot of info at our fingertips - this translates to quicker processes which is positive
• We keep all our notes on Crelate - very useful for the whole team to see
• We have multiple team members scheduling so it really helps to see all the emails that have gone out, to ensure there's no overlap
