Considered Both Products

Chose Mitratech TalentReef
TalentReef is a much more paired down, basic version of both iCIMS and Paylocity; with iCIMS being far and away from the most robust of the three.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
I have used other software in the past for employee management (PeopleMatter) and TalentReef was easy to train with my management staff, easy to use for application management, and had a low error rate. The ratings for applications and questionnaires are helpful when …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
TalentReef has a better interface than SnagAJob, but that is just about it. SnagAJob did a very good job in applicant flow, however, they also advertise for other companies during the application process which is a major downside to their system.

Newton is far superior not only …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
We came from Info PeopleAnswers and used their ATS for years. Prior to going to talentReef, we looked at CareerBuilder's ATS and at Snagajob's ATS. At the time, neither had the integrated onboarding and exporting data components. I also like the feature of the posi-fit …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
Previously we worked with Unicru. I am not sure why we switched, but talentReef has not been a disappointment.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
talentReef is a much better solution as it allows for more dynamic job posting, posting to multiple hiring sites, and streamlined on-boarding process.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
talentReef seemed a better value for the money.

ADP, Kronos, SAP

For the price, and for what the organization receives, it really is tough to beat talentReef.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef

I have evaluated several other products in the marketplace and I believe that TalentReef continues to outperform its peers in the following areas:

  • customizable to meet the needs of MY business
  • support team available for same day issue resolution
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
talentReef accessibility and easy to use platform benefited the field management the best.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
This is our first ATS and we selected it because of ease of use and price.
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
Ease of use, entering data is seamless and functionality is good and saves time. The online hiring paperwork simple for candidates to complete. Reports are easy to create and save. Value for the money is positive and on-boarding of the system was quick and thorough. We selected …
Chose Mitratech TalentReef
Our company has not used a similar program, but we did go through a lengthy process when choosing a vendor. TalentReef's product was more impressive than the others we looked at, but the TalentReef team was what made us choose to partner with them. Again, the culture is …
Workstream
Chose Workstream
Workstream is integrated software that supports Video interviews and video intros. This feature is very helpful in the current pandemic times. Paperless hiring is another primary reason to opt for a workstream. Video training modules for new and existing employees is the need …
Chose Workstream
Workstream has value and from a cost perspective, more affordable compared to Paradox.

Likelihood to Recommend
I rarely give 10/10, mainly because I have learned that that we can always learn new things and to grow. Thus, I feel that same applies to Talent Reef. While I struggled a bit in the beginning to use this application, It is probably that struggle that has made me a better user for being so persistent at using it. Now that I have more than just the basics I think for any size company the functionality of the program will work for them.

Pros
  • As an Administrator of the talentReef system, I have access to all applicants for every store across our system all in one location.
  • It is a one-stop function for virtually all of our new hire paperwork.
  • We have not gone entirely paperless with our employee files, but talentReef would be of great benefit to us if/when we choose to move in that direction.
  • The system is relatively easy to learn for store users with all levels of digital expertise.
  • The cost to the organization is extremely reasonable.

Cons
  • Applicant flow is terrible. You can post jobs on Indeed for free, and receive a better applicant flow than posting through TalentReef. TalentReef was unable to provide any reasoning for this to happen
  • If you want to change/edit your onboarding documents, you need to e-mail them to support. This can sometimes take more than 48 hours to accomplish, and more often than not, was not done as requested
  • Customer Support is terrible. When they respond to you, they do not answer the question fully or provide any alternative solutions
  • Pricing is very high. There are numerous other alternatives in the market that provide better services for half the price

  • I truly cannot think of a single aspect I'd like changed.

Return on Investment
  • Our initial ROI was having the ability for our applicants to apply online and move away from paper. This was a must, so we can compete for employees in our area.
  • Our next ROI was improving our onboarding process. The TalentReef onboarding process protects us from having incomplete files and it also saves us labor due to the process being quicker and efficient.

  • Applicants are chosen very professionally, they have good speed, we do not need to be personally in front of the candidate, because the selection process is digital, which increases the hiring flow and improves results.
