Harver vs. McGraw-Hill Connect

The tool is easy to use and the reference reports has allowed us to move from 2 references at the end of the recruitment process to collecting 5+ references earlier in the recruitment piece, thus allowing us to have better insight into the applicant and being able to tailor our interviews to questions that arise from the references. We have also seen a hirer retention rate of employees who have undertaken Outmatch references compared to those who have had verbal references. The references are in an easy-to-read format and the candidate sourcing database has added to our candidate attraction pool.

Content is pretty good, and site is good as standalone tool, but it does not integrate will with any LMS. Grade pass back does not work with Google Classroom or Skyward (unsure about Power School or others) SSO works with Clever, but not Google, so students always have to go through Clever and cannot go directly from Google Classroom to an assignment, even if you posted to Google Classroom through the Connect portal. Problem sets are robust, but difficult to edit and assessments are designed to be web based. Formatting is poor when trying to print assessments that were created online.

• Integration with Canvas is seamless and easy to use.
• Assignment completion, for students, is straightforward and easy to use.
• The SmartBook allows students to read as they are tested with questions and this helps them learn the material easily without having first trying to read, memorize a chapter and then answer questions.

• Customer Service initially was poor, but we now have a good account manager. However, compared to Checkster, (outmatch acquired) there is a clear service level difference.

• McGraw-Hill Connect could do a better job of staying current and making sure all of its videos and references to real-scenarios are up to date.
• It can do a better job of immediate explanation or advice when an answer is incorrect.
• It can improve upon its ability to autosave assignments. If an internet connection gets buggy and kicks the user out of the system, sometimes the assignment progress will be lost. This is because to save the assignment, it takes you out of the assignment and doesn't just autosave.

The product will do a majority of what they claim. Your experience will vary depending on how much you love or hate the implementation. The tools are there, but there is a learning curve as people get accommodated to how interaction is expected to be conducted (as opposed to more personal means).

Personally, I did not encounter McGraw-Hill support. However, I worked with colleagues who needed support and were able to receive in a timely manner. Overall, McGraw Hill Connect is user-friendly (at least from teacher interface) and easy to navigate, which minimizes the need to reach out for support. The help button is useful and provides plenty of immediate support.

Harver vs. GoodHire:They are efficient platforms, easy to use, offer resume evaluation tools, selection tests, candidate evaluations, etc. Harver offers great options like video interviews, which can be easily recorded and shared. One big difference between the two platforms is that Harver offers internal collaboration and candidate experience evaluation tools, while GoodHire focuses on background checks.

Much of our lecture material comes from McGraw-Hill, so it was an opportunity to marry the learning material to a collaborative system that can make the experience more portable and potentially more affordable for our students. The workings are managed off-site so we do not need to care for it on a daily basis.

• First, Harver helps streamline each hiring process, reducing the time and effort required to find the right candidate for each available position.
• Second, it allows us to easily track and manage candidate data such as skills, experience, etc.
• Third, it is affordable in terms of payments.

• Wasted valuable time trying to figure out the "eBook."
• Did not receive good value for the money spent.
• Did not feel as though the company was interested in keeping me satisfied as a customer, or like their customer service was actually interested in solving any problems.
