User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
CvViz is more suited to technical roles. You can run video interviews and tests where you can observe the practical skills of applicants i.e getting developers to code/debug. It's also good for verbal communication skills testing i.e recording role play with prospective sales employees. The downside is that you can't really use this to test the project management skills of prospects, but that isn't a failing of CvViz specifically, it's more about the lack of virtual recruitment tests for this space.

Before, it was a nightmare of spreadsheets, email templates, and needless to say, many many applicants fell through the cracks or left with a bad impression of our firm due to the poor communication. With Trakstar, we're able to easily track where every applicant is in the funnel, collect information on how they are doing, and manage the whole communication process. I love being able to work in both Gmail and in their software and I love how it tracks the conversations so that I can easily go back and review where things are with any given applicant. That said, the product is more geared toward someone that is hiring for one person per role. We make it work, but there is a lot of functionality that doesn't get used because of that

Pros
  • Centralized dashboard to keep up with the key metrics like total resumes and pass through rate
  • Multi vendor and multi customer so hiring for all companies or clients. perfect for recruitment agencies
  • Easily filter all the candidates by status, source, tags, qualifications and so much more

  • There's a "social footprint" kind of feature that scrubs popular social media tools for content, and aggregates this on the candidate page for a complete view of the candidate's personal brand. That was neat.
  • The email and calendar integration was well done. Most people want simple communications (the ability to respond to a candidate from the email client on your mobile device, without the hassle of logging into a platform). The ability to discreetly communicate with the candidates, while maintaining the tags and communications thread on the candidates page was gold. It reminded me a lot of central desktop by how smartly it was executed.
  • Increasing reach by blasting the job to multiple job boards (this was included in one of the subscriptions). Great timesaver.

Cons
  • The mobile experience specifically for job posting is lacking. Some of the drop-down elements don't appear in mobile view.
  • The 'add candidate to database' section via web shouldn't have qualification as a mandatory field. Not all qualifications are standardized so it limits searching.
  • You can only post by local currency which can be an issue if you're looking to recruit freelancers from other countries as you can't attract them via their local currency.

  • Once you activate a sponsored job post, it "appears" to stay live, even if the sponsorship ends. Makes it difficult to see what's live and to track spend.
  • Doesn't link with our HRIS (Paycor)
  • Wish there was a better method to create a formal application besides the questionnaire option.

We have not renewed our subscription for Recruiterbox. Although it is a great platform with great customer service, it does not have the functionality our company needs to be able to scale and there weren't plans to develop that functionality soon.

Recruiterbox is extremely easy to use and to learn. The only function that is difficult to use, even once you have the hang of the system, is reporting.

Alternatives Considered
Only used Indeed before so I didn't know what was possible when it came to recruiting and resume management software. Then I discovered CVViZ and was blown away by its collection of easy-to-use features. It has a great roadmap and a dedicated team of developers and to ensure it's going to be a fantastic investment.

Recruiterbox does not have as many features as other products I have used, however I would rate it very strong for ease of use. If you need something simple & out of the box, I had no complaints. I also experienced very few, if any, bugs while using the product.

Return on Investment
  • Custom recruitment tool helps us add value to our clients because it centralizes where data is stored.
  • Negative part is there are no white label options.
  • Easy to scale and deploy keeps us agile and able to increase workload without a dip in performance.

  • There has not been a high enough return on investment from Recruiterbox to know if the results shown during recruitment have been adequate.
  • Recruiterbox represents an improvement in our ROI of 3, and was previously at 2, which equates to 100% more profit for the company. It is still low, but may eventually increase.
