DICE is a useful tool for IT Services centric sourcing businesses

Incentivized
Austin LinView profile
IT Operations Lead in Corporate at Providence Technology Group, Inc. (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • DICE does a good job with matching key skills with candidate profiles
  • DICE does a nice job bringing in profiles from other sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
  • DICE does a nice way of presenting the results of a search including information on the consultant's search activity, role interest, salary, location, and travel preference, etc.

Cons

  • It would be great if DICE could somehow filter out "bad" candidate profiles...meaning where candidates put in non-sensical information either by accident or on purpose (e.g., candidates with 1 year of experience listed in their resume asking for 300K annual salary)
  • Similar to the previous item, some candidates have nearly incomplete resumes...I'm assuming the matching works on keyword and if it appears once it pulls it up although the content of the profile overall is very slim.
  • The only other thing I can think of is that DICE's UI is a bit dated, but overall it works.

Return on Investment

  • Overall, we see a decent # of candidates apply to our positions.
  • The job screener is probably the most helpful tool when posting our openings as it makes it a lot easier to manage and narrow the candidate pool.
  • The auto emails/communication templates we setup and use are very helpful to manage the application process.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dice is the best portal I ever used for the purpose of recruitment. Dice helped me to find the best candidate for the job position on which I worked. I think Dice is the only portal available at this time which helps me to find a candidate for a niche requirement. It helped me to filter irrelevant candidates those are not fit for the job requirements.
I am using Dice from last two years and I have an amazing experience with Dice.
By using the location filter we can easily find the local candidates for the required position.

Pros

  • It helps to filter irrelevant candidates for job requirements.
  • It helps to find local candidates as per job requirements.
  • It helps to find candidate holding specific Visa.
  • It helps to find candidate with particular skills.

Cons

  • I will suggest to remove profile which are updated 3 years ago.
  • There should be some suggestions while entering the keywords for searching.
  • You can increase the numbers of profile per page.
