Considered Both Products
Crelate
Chose Crelate
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
Chose Crelate
  • Easier to use, modern, supports drag and drop. Easy to set up and use. Fewer keystrokes
  • better support than zoho, not as good (but getting there) as PCR
  • Crelate is a smaller company, nimble and has ear of the customer
iSmartRecruit
Chose iSmartRecruit
We looked at a number of other systems that were not as comprehensive. Many were priced above our budget, and we know customer service would not have been as good.
Chose iSmartRecruit
I have seen many products but iSmartRecruit won my trust due to being user friendly and having unique features as well excellent support.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Cons
  • Would love the option to add profile pictures

  • Every system has some room for improvement. But no major issues were found, so it’s completely fine.
  • he system comes with many features and is easy to use, but it still requires some form of training to use it to the fullest and get maximum advantages.
  • Every staffing agency business has different needs and requirements. iSmartRecruit helps us to do that. Very quick to respond to requests. Sometimes, it may take more time if the requirement is complex.

Support Rating
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.
