Considered Both Products
ClearCompany
Chose ClearCompany
No comparison. It's apples to oranges when comparing. Clear Company is well-rounded and willing to collaborate to make it right for each company. Most other platforms make you adapt to the product they think is best without individual company needs in mind.
Chose ClearCompany
Communication is much easier in ClearCompany; processes are less cumbersome and making changes in the system is much easier. It's great for organizations that need to be nimble or may be evolving in their Talent Acquisition processes.
Chose ClearCompany
We selected Clear because it is comprehensive. It also allows for video screenings in the application process and that feature saves us time during the interview process. Companies like HigherMe don't provide that. We also utilize Jolt for checklists. Clear unfortunately …
Chose ClearCompany
The comparison was night and day. ClearCompany has the ability to grow with our organization with an all encompassing platform.
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany is the most straightforward product I have used. Every other ATS has had too many bells and whistles that show on your website and aren't used. Many are really difficult to navigate or don't have offer letter creation or interview scheduling capabilities.
Chose ClearCompany
At first, I liked Jazz better. I thought the interface was easier and looked better. However, after using ClearCompany for a few months, and a few updates later, I think ClearCompany is the better of the two choices. The applicant grading in ClearCompany is much better, has …
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany is so much more user-friendly and intuitive.
Chose ClearCompany
I cannot compare ClearCompany to other products but it's worth the investment and blows pen and paper evaluations out of the water!
Chose ClearCompany
The one main feature ClearCompany has that others don't, is the texting feature in the recruitment module.
Chose ClearCompany
I selected it because it looked really great at the time and they were offering a huge discount.
Chose ClearCompany
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 …
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany has a lot of fresh ideas and functionality, but the system doesn't compare to any of the previous ATS systems I have used, and this is based on basic user interfaces and ease of use. ClearCompany doesn't have options set in place to keep companies compliant, and …
Chose ClearCompany
We went with ClearCompany based on their level of customer service. Paycom is who we use for our payroll and other HR tasks, but, the level of service and price was the reason we went with ClearCompany. They've been extremely attentive, have customized almost everything to fit …
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany had many more features and is more user friendly than the bullhorn system I used in my last role.
Chose ClearCompany
HRM has been our provider for some time now. We've evaluated others recently to see what is comparable or more industry specific. Haven't decided to switch yet, but as we review products, that could change.
Darwinbox
Chose Darwinbox
Looks better than Greythr and usability is better with more features
Chose Darwinbox
I felt it was very nice in comparison to others and was simple for everyone in the organization to handle and haven't gone through any other software so till now, Darwinbox is the best for us. Others had various good features too but were a little complex to use, Zoho people …
Chose Darwinbox
Darwinbox helps to maintain all the things at one platform and easy to use too. It provide better usability compared with Moday.com. Darwinbox provides more functionality compared with Monday.com. It is also user friendly as well. All the things we are getting one platform and …
Chose Darwinbox
Darwinbox is up there with ADP in terms of quality for employers to use in such an open-level style. I personally would support the use of Darwinbox against the competition.

If your company needs to move into becoming completely electronic, as well as the option of having it being remote if needed, this is the way to go. ClearCompany will hold your hand and help you every step of the way to becoming just that! It can be a difficult task to change so much but having their team to meet with you weekly until you have everything up and running was the best experience I could have asked for.

Employees that come into work are needed to clock in to get paid for the amount of time they are working per day. They will log on to Darwinbox and clock in as soon as they can. Some will use the PTO they have available to use. HR will be able to make payroll in a timely manner for employees.

Pros
  • Interview scheduling--ClearCompany integrates your Outlook calendar with their system, so when a candidate accepts an interview time, it goes right to Outlook.
  • Communication with hiring teams is super easy in this system. You just tag a hiring manager in the notes and communicate there regarding candidate progress. This is super helpful down the road as well if you need to look back at any communication (rather than trying to sift through emails).
  • The general setup is very user friendly. It is easy to find candidates, reqs, and information.

Cons
  • Reporting is a bit limited - most reports require significant cleanup and/or take a lot of work to make meaningful
  • Hiring Manager visibility is limited when it comes to notifications (scorecards completed, etc.) and feedback for candidates from other processes, meaning that the burden is put on TA to inform

  • It can improve its UI a little better and make it look more user friendly
  • It can provide a deep analysis about things and should provide a download feature for the analytics shown
  • It should increase its scalability for large organisation as i think it wont be able to handle it

Great tool, however the bugs mar its user experience. If solved for, and if the UI is improved on, it will be an amazing tool

Support Rating
I had a great relationship with my first customer success manager. When I first started, she helped me navigate the system and was always available to answer any questions. They have provided great support throughout the last 2 years of me using the system. I attended a ClearCompany conference and they were incredible at providing support and showing how to best utilize the system,

We went with ClearCompany based on their level of customer service. Paycom is who we use for our payroll and other HR tasks, but, the level of service and price was the reason we went with ClearCompany. They've been extremely attentive, have customized almost everything to fit our needs, and have offered training and perks along the way. Paycom is great, but, it doesn't stack up to the level of customization, ease-of-use, or services that ClearCompany provides. I don't think we'll be making a change anytime soon

Return on Investment
  • The original ATS was costing us more than when we switched to Clear and it only posted to one major job site only allowing 30 requisitions per month. We have no limitation on job reqs, better tracking, and posting to all major job boards with integration to our payroll and website for less money.

  • The ability to view the organization structure and functional structure for the entire company.
  • One-stop solution for talent acquisition, payroll, leaves, reimbursements, attendance (time-sheet), holidays, etc. So I don't have to open a lot of different apps.
