President Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Underwhelmed" March 26, 2020 2.0 Great in the beginning horrible after 6 months . Even now with the pandemic we have had to lay off over half our staff - they won't even adjust our payments. I am disgusted with this company. Pros There isn't much. I have used it for over a year now and all of their promises of the product and it's upgrades have not been implemented. Very let let down on the software as a whole. Cons I could write a book on what's wrong with this software. Everything you do on this software is time consuming. They haven't even figured out how to refresh on Indeed weekly without cloning a role. Meaning I spend an hour reposting our roles fresh each Sunday night and your applicants are spread out over several job postings. It's very archaic in its look, it's ease of use and the customer service is terrible. They are great in the beginning and then you are forgotten about. Would not recommend this software. Reason for choosing Mindscope They said a lot of changes were being made and they could integrate with the assessment tool we use ... 18 months later NOTHING Review Source CG Christine G. Product Deliver Manager - Central & West Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cura and Growth" July 13, 2018 4.0 Pros I've used Mindscope/Cura for almost 7 years and it's grown in it's abilities and features exponentially. I like the ability to connect directly with Outlook and how it can take my conversations via email with a candidate and automatically sync it into the candidate's profile. I also like being able to enter in individual resumes directly from my Outlook, but I still have the ability to parse large amounts through Batch Paris. I have really enjoyed being able to merge multiple profiles for the same person rather than having to remember which specific one I want to work from. Finally, the texting feature has been incredible beneficial. Cons We are still working through some kinks currently, such as the .NET feature keeps un-installing and (on certain computers) take a long time to bring up individual candidates or clients. The search feature in the candidate module can be temperamental and will sometimes not recognize specific words OR will get angry if a bullion search string is too long. Also, there's a weird issue with responding to text messages to a candidate in Cura if the initial sent message from the candidate is over the allotted 160 characters. You have to first delete the candidate's message out of the box and then hit reply. Review Source Danielle B. Recruiter Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Much better options out there" March 7, 2018 3.0 Pros It's easy to move along a candidate in the process and see what stage they are in. Easy to find all candidate notes on their record Cons We were promised that it could/would integrate with all these other systems we use and it has not. The search capability is some of the worse I've seen. It does not come up with relevant candidates at all when I am searching by keywords...and don't even try to search by location!! When they mass uploaded our resumes, it must have filled locations in all wrong. Review Source PL Pierre L. Technology Integration Officer Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good ATS software" September 10, 2018 4.0 We use this currently in a straightforward way. Review is based on this. Will also be implementing this with a large project with a more complicated setup. Pros Ease of use. Customizable to your needs. Company ready to accommodate. Can also integrate with CRM. Cons The graphical interface needs to be updated, which I believe is in the works. Need IE for direct mass CV imports. Review Source SS Susan S. Executive Assistant Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Search Features Made so Easy" September 5, 2018 5.0 Great support from your team! Very intuitive which makes it easy to learn. Pros I love the searching capabilities within Cura, and the easy web integration for posting open orders. Cons There isn't much that I don't like about this software; perhaps some features are missing from the mobile version. Review Source MJ Michelle J. Vice President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This is the best move we've ever made." July 17, 2018 5.0 Great system. Meets our needs beautifully. Pros We can now focus on filling jobs rather than figuring out "workarounds" where our previous system was lacking. The reporting functions are fantastic. Cons There's really nothing that we dislike about the system. It was a drastic change from what we had used previously, so there was a learning curve, but everyone caught on very quickly and would never consider going back. Review Source EW Erin W. Director of Recruitment Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for Agencies" July 12, 2018 4.0 Pros Excellent service. Software is very functional and has a ton of features. Staff is committed to ensuring you are using it to it's full capacity. Cons Customizing can sometimes prove challenging. Had a hard time moving over data from old software. Review Source DT Denise T. Used the software for: ### "" May 4, 2013 5.0 Quest is the largest white collar flexible staffing agency in South Africa. Quest deals with high volumes and needed a system to support the high volume/low touch environment. It became an imperative to find a more efficient and effective way of managing the business. Excel spreadsheets in a plethora of forms and places were doing nothing to institutionalize the supposed core competency. We did extensive research to find a system that would be easy to bolt onto our MS ERP, would have 80% functionality off the shelf, would allow more configuration than expensive customization, and would give us excellent after sales service in distant South Africa. Oh! And all this had to fit our budget! Hands down CURA ticked all the boxes and then some. There was not a single other offering that scored even close to CURA. The one unknown was would they actually deliver. For the first time in my many years of working with IT projects, CURA was delivered on time, and with the most responsive IT team I had ever worked with. Added to this, they broke down needs and requests into an easily understandable language so they did not have to rely on my IT gibberish. I have subsequently used CURA in the next project I worked on and am about to use them again! This is a company that delivers on every single promise! Review Source LT Ludovic T. Associate Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product!" July 17, 2018 5.0 I'd highly recommend anyone that's interested to contact the team for a demo! It's a no-cost effort and it should be enough to get you convinced! :) Pros The product is really easy to use, the support staff is really helpful and fast in finding solutions. This is a great product and has made our work a lot easier! Cons The only thing I would be able to say for the "cons" would eventually be the user-interface that isn't the "prettiest" but the goal of this software is to be an effective time saving solution and not a "beautiful" product. Review Source AS Andrea S. Vice President, HR Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well Detailed Product" July 11, 2018 4.0 Customer support is phenomenal. support team has been so easy to work with and is available whenever we need anything. Pros I'm learning to love it. It has been a growing and learning curve for our corporation. I am not on it often in my position, but when I am it's an excellent tool. The staff members who use it state they really like the Mindscope/CURA program. We are looking forward to growing with it from both an HR perspective and Marketing as well. Cons I can't say there are cons. I'm not on it enough to say I've had any. And I've not heard complaints from other staff members. Review Source LG Louis G. VP Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "adaptable and flexible" February 7, 2019 5.0 strong adoption by hr team Pros ease of use and adapting to our IT environnement Cons time to develop custom solution however they do deliver ultimately Review Source RN Robb N. Manager, Talent Supply Chain Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Great product with great service" July 10, 2018 5.0 I have recommended this product to friends in the industry both in the agency business and in consulting (like our company). Pros Mindscope gives me all the functionality our company needs for our Talent Acqusition process. They worked closely with us to customize their product to meet our business process and after sale service is exceptional. Cons Is a little bit behind on some of the newer technology initiatives that are occurring in the ATS marketplace but they seem to work hard to bring it up the date. Review Source MH Mike H. Used the software for: ### "" June 27, 2013 5.0 Our company recently set up an account with MindScope CURA software. We have been extremely happy with their response time for the implementation of our user package. We feel that they have become part of our team in continuing our goals of success. The CURA package has enabled us to greatly reduce our candidate process times, while also enabling us to better control our documentation and communication with our candidates. Our search capabilities have become endless with CURA, as well as our capability to rapidly place job postings to our website. The CURA support team has been extremely responsive to all of our request and provided excellent training sessions to our users. We look forward to growing our business for many years to come and having MindScope CURA as a vital part of our growth process and success. Review Source MT Matt T. Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: ### "Implemented CURA for my staffing business" February 12, 2014 5.0 Pros CURA is completely customizable to meet your specific requirements. The team at MindSCOPE worked with me to fine-tune CURA to my exact needs. I am a small business, but they made me feel like I was their only customer. They have awesome customer and technical support; it's a great product and a great team. You can't go wrong with CURA from MindSCOPE. Cons Not much but if I had a complaint (and I'm told it will be resolved in the next update), it would be that it doesn't function with browsers other than IE. The next update will allow it to be compatible with other browsers, so this will go away. Review Source GW Gregory W. Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: ### "Great product and partner" February 12, 2014 5.0 Pros Many staffing software options on the market today are very good at one thing - perhaps serving as a database for client and candidate recruitment tracking - yet they are not-so-good at another - let's say staffing job order tracking. Or vice versa. CURA manages to bring the best of both worlds and does so with a knowledgeable support staff. This is a requirement for our company, since we handle a wide spectrum of job opportunities, ranging from temporary one-day assignments to multi-year contracts to permanent placements. Cons We're still trying to break it but haven't yet succeeded. Review Source lH lexie H. Co-Owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Pretty happy with the software!" July 8, 2019 5.0 Great! The rep has been great to work with as well! Pros has the capability to do many features we were looking for Cons wish it integrated with more US phone services - Ubity has been horrible to work with Review Source DS Dana S. Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: ### "One hand knows what the other is doing!" June 10, 2014 4.0 Pros I find CURA to have a user-friendly interface and versatile ease of use. Although initially the "multiple ways to skin a cat" approach can be a little confusing for technophobes, it does provide a lot of options to customize the database based on the company's needs. The staff at CURA is very friendly, accessible, and helpful. Cons Compared to our previous software, there are a few extra steps required for certain processes, which is a bit time-consuming, especially with the learning curve. Personally, I find the benefits far outweigh any negatives, though. Review Source WS William S. Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mindscope" July 18, 2018 5.0 It's been a great experience working with Mindscope. I don't plan on switching systems anytime soon. Pros There is a lot of functionality and they are always adding more. They are open to hearing our suggestions about improvement. Cons There might be to many options. I feel like we only use a small percentage of the program can offer. Review Source TS Thiago S. Used the software for: ### "" July 29, 2013 5.0 MindScope has been one of the best additions to our business. From customer service to technical support, the experience will set your business apart from the competition. Their vision sets a new benchmark for the industry. Their actions have consistently proven to be a success. From marketing tools, to the reporting system, to the actual resume database - it is very simple to use and compacts all the important features, thus creating the visibility you are looking for. I strongly recommend any company looking to improve their customer service to include this software in their business. Review Source AE Alan E. Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: ### "Built for growth" January 29, 2015 4.5 Pros We reviewed other systems but found CURA to be the one that matched our specific needs. It's customizable enough to match our upcoming growth plans. It cuts our administrative work in half and sets daily routines and goals easily with a follow on CRM activity based success orientation. Cons Mindscope was very easy to work with. They have an open, honest approach, listened to our needs, are flexible and responsive. It's a great ATS! Review Source RR Ryan R. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great All In One System" September 17, 2015 4.5 Pros It's a very robust all-in-one system that covers every angle for staffing agencies. We love this product and myself have used quite a few systems. Cons The turnover within the company. One day your working with one person the next another. Review Source EF Eric F. Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: ### "CURA - forward thinking." June 24, 2014 5.0 Pros Their service, attention to detail, foresight relative to updates, and professionalism all combined cause me to conclude that Mindscope is customer-focused and that they operate with the highest level of integrity. The CURA product exceeds my expectations. Cons I can't think of any negatives. Really! Review Source JB Janice B. Used the software for: ### "" November 5, 2013 5.0 We have a small recruiting business and looked at several software applications prior to deciding to work with Mindscope. The software is user friendly, and the training and support after have been fabulous. I have been very pleased with the entire company from the CEO to the Help Desk. You won't be disappointed if you decide to work with Mindscope for your software needs. Review Source AK Aaron K. HR Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "UI needs an update" June 2, 2017 3.0 Would be worth considering, and I'm under the impression that they are working on their UI development. Pros It seems like the database is super segmented and modulated meaning you can have alot of flexibility using the system and customization. Cons The UI is like using a windows 2000 PC. Definitely not easy to understand or use since its robustness takes away from its simplicity and intuitiveness. Review Source JF Justin F. Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: ### "Top Notch Service & Capabilities!" October 17, 2014 5.0 Pros The entire team has exceeded our expectations. You can tell that each person enjoys the work they do and cares for the success of their customers. Cons We are completely satisfied with CURA.
