Pros

Ease of use. Tracking of candidates is easy. As is communicating in both directions via the ATS with them. This improves the performance of consultants, and limits admin activity.

Cons

The mailshotting facility is a little clunky, time consuming.

Exceptional

Pros

I purchased and worked very closely with the developer, XLR8 on building an ATS in my previous employment. It was very easy to use and an extremely helpful and important tool for everyday business.

Cons

Any issues that I didn’t like were reported to the developers and overcome. I was extremely happy with the product that was purchased and the bespoke element of this.

Very good, very hands on, understanding and always there for us.

Pros

The staff at Axlr8 are on hand at a moments notice. Any new IT system can be "clunky" to replace legacy systems and change is never easy for staff but Axlr8 have made the move to them easy. They have held our hand through process and always offered solutions. They have been able to take CSG to the next level and enable growth.

Cons

There was nothing really that stood out - just being mindful all operations are very bespoke - especially the operation we oversee, we cannot fit into the "over the shelf" packages. To be fair they have adapted we to our operational needs and very reactive to our needs
