Big Biller vs. Dice TalentSearch

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.

This platform is probably more suited for small to mid-size companies that may not have super specific roles and requirements. Organizations also that may not have a large budget for these types of programs also could be a good fit as it does offer some value, but probably falls behind in the cutting edge and super competitive landscape for platforms or organizations. It's probably less appropriate for large companies or places that are investing in current and cutting edge technology or products.

• Searching for keywords in resumes
• Prevent duplicate candidates by bringing up potential matches
• Worked quickly with out a lot a lag time when searching

• Flexibility to be creative, i.e. can do both boolean searches as well as use intelligence searches.
• Posting jobs is easy to do and manage.
• Customer support is at a very high level, with a personal touch, (this is very rare and very much appreciated)!

Incentivized

• A few too many clicks for recording activities.
• Bulk data manipulation is nearly impossible. Big Biller must do it at an extra cost.

Incentivized

• The recent update is not highlighting most of the keywords which is really annoying.
• I feel the UI should be more improved.
• Sometimes we see lots of resumes with lots of manipulated details and fake experience to get the attention.
• Sometimes most of the resumes don’t have contact details and it's difficult to get in touch with candidates.

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

I'm assuming we will keep using DICE, but Indeed and LinkedIn are starting to prove their value and strength in having candidates/consultants use their services to look for new opportunities.

Its already I mentioned it is used to search the resumes of relevant profile upon the request of clients requirement. comfortable with filters to validate the profile before the resumes open. Can be able to locate the profile which the recruiter is willing to work on the requirement. Little more costly when compared to other job portals.

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.

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.

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.

what works well for Dice Open Web is that it can be used internally within a company very well. the groups of jobs with same skill sets across teams can be well displayed on the web and thus candidates can apply to multiple jobs in one go. ability to customize email templates, set alerts and notifications are really 3-5 steps processes. Candidates can also track their own progress once their process starts for filling an opening in a group.

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

• Utilized a great deal of my hiring budget without producing any applicants.
• Used a large amount of my time with no payoff.
• Frustration with signing a contract and after payment did not receive any assistance with the traction of my job posts.
