Carly R
Owner
5.0

Carly: Hi, my name is Carly. I'm a marketing director. I give LinkedIn for business a five out of five. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before LinkedIn for business, I was just kind of scrolling random websites for data and when I found LinkedIn for business on a central hub that users can put their work data and their business data, it made it a lot easier for our company to reach out to their companies. LinkedIn for Business is great for connecting directly with other members of the same industry all on one platform. It's also great to keep informed on the latest trends in your industry, in the niche job titles that people tend to have, and it's just been overall a very good platform for our business. LinkedIn for Business was very easy to get started. Just couple of clicks to sign up and your profile's kind of registered in their account. And from there they have little popups of tutorial type information if you need additional support. And they also have a help desk for support, which got back very quickly. LinkedIn for business is a very good way as somebody who's starting their own business or is in the marketing department of a business to see what type of clients like your business to business would be best in through LinkedIn, and I definitely recommend it to anybody looking to grow their client portfolio.

Mark A
Lead Generator
5.0

Mark K.: Hi, my name is Mark. I'm a lead generator. I give Applicant Stack a five out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below. We use Applicant Stack to track the incoming applicants and candidates from the start of the application process all the way through hiring or the do not pursue phase. One of my absolute favorite things about Applicant Stack is A, how customizable it is and also how intuitive it is. We bring on a ton of different new people. We're a very, very large company. So the fact that it is simple to use and pretty intuitive is a major benefit to us as well as the reporting is very beneficial. So we can draw up pretty much any type of report and call any type of data that we can imagine. So it is a very, very versatile product. The one thing I wish I could change about Applicant Stack, and again, this may be a use your error type thing, but is the exporting of the reports. There's other programs out there that export the data already in a nice, neat, pretty picture. Whereas once you export the data out of Applicant Stack, at least in my experience, you have to manipulate it in order to get the graphs and the charts that you want.
