Leoforce

Pros: The ability to pull contact data for some of the candidates is a plus.

Cons: The program has been nothing more than an overlay for job board and Linked In profiles. The data must be verified as many of the profiles are antiquated and inaccurate. Simple boolean searches directly with job boards and LinkedIn have repeatedly provided a more accurate pool than the AI, even after hours spent tinkering with it and selecting/deselecting candidates to provide better sourcing data. Plus, the other social platforms have been effectively useless for my roles (mfg + engineering).

Overall: It's definitely not worth the investment at this time. As sources of candidate info change and AI evolves, it might become a viable option, but it's not there yet.

Pros: Some nice features and potential to capture some new profiles with some insight to when they might change and also to gather direct ways to contact

Cons: Not enough new candidates coming in, even when trying to build up the machine learning by liking a profile etc. Seems to be mostly finding people on Linkedin

Overall: A nice tool, but not for quantity. Would like quicker answers with support questions

Pros: It gives you access to an abundance of old candidate data.

Cons: 1) It scrapes old candidate data so the profiles you are looking at are very outdated.

2) If you sync it with Monster/CareerBuilder/Dice, etc.. It finds candidates that have no relevance to your search.

3) If you use a credit to pull the contact information, you have a 5% chance of that contact information being up to date.

4) It takes DAYS for customer service team to get back to you.

5) It's not intuitive or easy to use. You have to custom build everything.

Overall: The salesman from rep. (Leoforce) sold me a pipe dream telling me it would completely replace the need to have LinkedIN recruiter and that it would be the only tool I'd ever need. He locked me into a 1yr contract and then was either fired or quit 2 weeks later. In the first 2 weeks of use, I realized this software did not live up to what he sold and I requested my money back. I escalated the request up to the vice president of the customer service team and even he wouldn't authorize my request. 4mo later they are still avoiding me and won't refund my money. A simple refund could have saved them a lot in lost opportunity cost.

Cons: No free trial available, wanted them to show me in realtime how the tool is working and if it is really offering a value, they only wanted to show me how it works on a position that they already have in their system, and they wanted me to disclose my payment information without being able to test the tool first. Not sure if this is a scam. But the service is very bad. The sales person become very rude on the phone saying that I had reached out to them and therefore I had to comply to their rules and not expect any goodwill. This was the point when I stopped talking to him.

Overall: seemed interesting in the beginning, but not sure if the tool is working at all, service is bad, very rude sales person

Pros: We like how the program is easy to use.

Cons: We don't always get quality candidates.
