Faliscia: My name is Faliscia. I am a business owner. I give Zoho Recruit five stars. If you have any questions, click below. Before I actually used Zoho Recruit, I was using Resume Library. Great customer service. However, because they only utilized minimal job boards, they didn't use a lot of the popular job boards, I didn't feel I was getting as many leads as I needed. Zoho Recruit allowed me to actually gain more leads. So as I recruited, I saw more leads come in daily. With Resume Library, I'd be lucky to get maybe one or two recruits a day, or leads, I should say. So that is the reason why ... one of the main reasons why I chose to go with Zoho Recruit. The reason for my rating for Zoho Recruit. Probably a couple of years back, I thought a little differently, but they have definitely stepped their game up a little more than before. I like the fact that they have a new interface. It's clear to see visually. The resolution is nicer. They have a lot more options. They've added a marketplace where you can advertise your job board or your job listings. Their customer service has definitely stepped up a hundred percent. It's 24 hours now. That's probably the biggest thing that I can say. They are there for you 24 hours. I can call them anytime of the day or night and ask questions, get a walkthrough, whatever I need, to work in the system. That is my review for why I chose Zoho Recruit. Customer service is very important to me. Zoho Recruit to get started is very simple. What was very nice about them is they offer a free trial. A very nice thing about them is you don't have to add a credit card to their startups. So you could go in, request a free trial, just put your name and your email address in their signup form, and you could immediately start using their services. They will send you an email that will allow you to get started with some of their training. And if you have issues, you can give them a call and they will help you, even though you're on a free trial. The recommendation that I have for anyone who's interested in using Zoho Recruit is to utilize the free trial. You need to make sure that you could get it. They offer a lot. Their platform is very, very robust. So they offer a lot. So you want to go through each module. Don't get it confused. Zoho has a lot to offer. They have a CRM. They have many components to their company, period. But on the recruiting side, you want to just go through the modules one by one to make sure that you can operate them seamlessly. Definitely test out their customer service. See what you think about it. Do a little research. Look at their reviews, of course. And then you can make a conscious decision if you want to utilize their services.

Blair: Hi. My name is Blair and I am a director of recruiting at a national search firm. I would rate Bullhorn ATS three out of five stars. And for more reviews like this, please click below. So Bullhorn is really the pulse of our organization. We use it for everything from keeping our clients organized and all of our sales activities, but mainly we use it for our ATS, or our applicant tracking system. That's where we build our resume database and keep track of all of our active and previous job orders that we're working on. The two main things that I like most about Bullhorn. The first would be that it is very easy to implement and train. It's very user friendly. So if you're growing your organization or switching over from a different platform, it's pretty easy to get your team up to speed. The other thing that I really like a lot about Bullhorn would be that it's very easy to run and generate reports. Whether that's from an activity standpoint or billing and invoicing, it's very fast, easy, and customizable to run whatever report you may need. The three main things that I dislike about Bullhorn. The first would be the price tag. It is a lot more expensive than very comparable products out there on the market. The second would be their customer service. The response time is not very prompt. And the third, which impacts us on a day to day basis, is the lack of Chrome extension to import candidate profiles from LinkedIn. Which would make things a lot easier and smoother, and that's not something that Bullhorn offers at this time.
