Our overall experience with Chameleon-i has been excellent. We have used the system for many years and it has become a fundamental part of how we run our recruitment and executive search business. It is flexible, reliable and extremely powerful, particularly when working with a large and well-established database. The system allows us to manage candidates, clients, companies, vacancies and placements in one place while adapting the workflows around the way our business actually operates. More recently, we have been particularly impressed by the AI and automation capabilities. These are allowing us to make much better use of the data we have built up over the years, automate repetitive processes and give our consultants faster access to useful information. We see this becoming an increasingly important part of how we work. Chameleon-i has continued to evolve with our business, and the team behind it have a genuine understanding of the recruitment industry. Overall, it is a platform we have a great deal of confidence in and expect to remain at the centre of our technology for many years to come.

Pros

What we like most about Chameleon-i is that it has been designed specifically around recruitment and executive search, so it fits the way we actually work. We have used it for many years and it gives us one central place to manage candidates, clients, companies, vacancies, searches and placements. It is highly configurable, which means we can adapt it to our own processes rather than having to change the business to fit the CRM. We also have a very large database, so being able to search, organise and make proper use of that information is extremely important to us. More recently, the quality and structure of the data within Chameleon-i has also become increasingly valuable as we develop more automation and AI across the business. The team behind the product also understand recruitment extremely well, which makes a real difference when it comes to support and developing the system further.

Cons

Nothing. We've been using it for 10 years now and it keeps getting better. We couldn't live without it.

Expensive and not very flexible at the time. I'm sure that's improved now.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for this review, and for 10 years with Chameleon-i. We're glad our recruitment CRM still fits the way your executive search team works, with candidates, clients, vacancies and placements all in one configurable platform. It's great to hear the AI and automation features are already helping your consultants get more from your database. There's much more to come, and we look forward to the next 10 years together. Best regards, The Chameleon-i Team

On its launch, it was aligned to other products in the market place. With an adventurous tech team they were well placed to grow the brand in the market place. However, with others now using ‘slick’ simple ways to display data, move data, use market data, integrations with job boards, Linkedin etc. as well as developing and integrating AI capability, it is becoming an antique with far superior products available.

Pros

The product has a basic functionality that would be best suited to a ‘one man band’ operation. Once installed, it operates in a basic, capable way. It can be set-up relatively quickly and has super efficient, best in class, customer support which is UK based.

Cons

It has failed to keep pace with competitors and the technical capabilities of software. For instance, simple functions such as a drag and drop function are missing (apart from CV parsing). Its labour intensive, comparatively speaking, for a tech based product.

Having somewhere secure to hold my data is of course very important. But also, having somewhere I can keep my client information and have it easily accessible and searchable is ideal. I'd miss a lot if I was still having to search through excel or my windows explorer files.

Pros

This software ticked a few boxes when I first started, Grosvenor Resourcing. 1) It was low cost, 2) It was web based 3) I was able to import my excel data into it with ease and 4) It was easy to use with what seemed a lot of functionality for the price. What I've come to learn over the years of using it is that I was barely scratching the surface in terms of what it could do, I'm probably still not. It's still great value and the features have been added to and improved over the years. There were only two that I ever felt I needed added and over the time they have been - clearly others felt they were missing too. The support is really good too. If something isn't working or I don't know how to do something then the live chat or phone support is usually very quick and helpful. I've already got one other recruiter to use this software and I would gladly recommend it again. I have a friend who works for a competitor and I've used their software in the past, which is very good, but I don't see any reason that I'd need to move away from Chameleon-i, it covers all my needs and does it well.

Cons

Off the top of my head I'd have to say no. There were a couple of things I felt didn't work as efficiently as they could or could be added, but they've since been put in or changed for the better. Some of the usage could be a little more intuitive, but it's all there and all works well.

Reasons for choosing Chameleon-i

Following a free trial i found Chameleon - i to be, 1) It was low cost 2) It was web based 3) I was able to import my excel data into it with ease and 4) It was easy to use with what seemed a lot of functionality for the price.

Pros

Friendly helpful team Open to development requests

Cons

Cost of training courses CRM reporting limited and inflexible Inability to extract much info for analysis elsewhere Dependence on Microsoft products

The reps are brilliant always helpful and find solutions to my many mistakes. The support is great and is a great little package

Pros

Value for Money and easy to use. Great customer support and does exactly what you want it to. Great that it links to your website

Cons

Could do with more friendly mailers such as preview rather than send to me. Format isn't always right

Pros

Under-utilised as a product here, but the support manager (Noemi) has always identified solutions to problems / questions. Great customer service. System is easy to use and systematic.

Cons

Some features aren't available and details linked to clients are carried forward to their next company rather staying with the old company (probably due to the way the note is added at my end...!). However, suggestions are always taken on board.
