### "Programmatic Recruiting is the future "

January 10, 2023

5.0

Great tool to help us market and manage our candidate flow. Programmatic recruitment has turned traditional recruiting on its head! Best thing to happen to recruiting since the internet!

Pros

Great for giving my team the time and resources to do active recruiting instead of spending their time monitoring and managing job postings. Takes away the need to manage our stats and evaluate our progress. This does it all for us while giving us the reach necessary to find candidates for our difficult to fill positions.

Cons

Not sure that I have anything that I like least.

### "Great Platform"

January 6, 2023

5.0

The customer service team is top notch and responsive

Pros

The results are great. The candidate volume is high.The account manager and team are very professional and responsive.

Cons

The conversion from applicant to onboarding and having a worker work at a job site is very low. Many candidates are non-responsive and do not convert to active employees.

### "Excellent support staff"

January 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

The strength of the account team allows this to be a "hands off" product - which is much needed, and appreciated, during our current hiring environment. Additionally, the seamless integration with our ATS allows us to capture the hires that have come in via the tool which makes reporting a dream.

Cons

Haven't found a reason to complain yet. The tool is easy to navigate.

### "Increased candidate flow"

January 12, 2023

4.0

Overall it has increased candidate flow for hard to fill jobs by reaching candidates through job boards other than indeed for us.

Pros

Great customer support through our account manager. They were able to piggy back off the same Indeed hashtags we're already using in our job descriptions which makes it easy to sponsor posts for hard to fill requisitions.

Cons

It's hard to control spending when you have a high volume of reqs. Some jobs may take up a big portion of your budget and rack up a lot of your budgeted dollars just to one req.

### "AppCast Review"

January 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

Ease of adding jobs to campaigns, ease of seeing quality metrics

Cons

Deleting campaigns instead of just pausing them would be a huge bonus, as well as having the default view set to "only active" campaigns.

### "Quality Applicants, Great Reporting and Exceptional Customer Service "

January 16, 2023

5.0

I love working with Appcast, because they truly have an exceptional team who will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals, as well as a great product.

Pros

Honestly, my favorite part is that it actually works. It can handle high volume job postings, and meet your spend needs without sacrificing quality in regards to applicants. It makes my job easier- once you are set up and have figured out the best titles etc. to use, it will perform and help you reach your recruiting goals.

Cons

I have no complaints about the current software, but I would like to see some additional features as it would be helpful for my overall recruiting. For example, adding paid search for Google.

### "The Delta Companies - Review"

January 6, 2023

4.0

Appcast has brought us many wonderful candidates who we've successfully placed over these past few years. To us, Appcast is a hidden gem! We really appreciate the job ad exchanges which allows our jobs to be seen on sites that we may not typically parter with.

Pros

Integration with Bullhorn, our account manager and his exceptional communication, state expansions, and reporting.

Cons

Not being able to control the quality of applies that come through. These past few months we've noticed a massive spike in spam applies which ultimately has us hit budget early on in the month.

### "My Experience of Appcast"

January 6, 2023

5.0

Appcast is completely in line with how I want to manage my clients advertising strategy & budget. The biggest mistake employers make is doing the same thing and hoping for different results. Using Appcast means that you and break away from 'the normal' and find new routes to your target audience

Pros

I like being able to take my clients vacancies to the 'whole' market. It adds a lot of value to my service and means I can deliver quality applications at a good price.I find it very easy to use and therefore easy to explain to a client.

Cons

It'd be great to see candidate applications in the system so I can check on quality

### "Great customer service and decent results"

January 16, 2023

4.0

We have reached a wider audience by using Appcast and we have gained valuable strategy options. We are very satisfied with what Appcast has given us.

Pros

Hands down best element is the customer service and support from our representatives. They take the time to explain strategy and performance. The integration works well with UKG and we have had minimal issues since implementation.

Cons

With the quick apply option, there is a bit of information that does not come over, but this is common for quick apply. It is hard to hold a candle to Indeed performance.

### "We love Appcast"

January 10, 2023

5.0

The reps that we work with are great. They listed to our needs and are helpful at offering solutions. They have even made suggestions that we didn't think about and put in to place.

Pros

Integration was super easy with our HRIS. All I did was click a button.

Cons

We only give a portion of our budget to Appcast so we're not really using it to its full capability. There is nothing to dislike so far.

January 6, 2023

5.0

Good tool. Fully automated system. Good alternative to Indeed.

Pros

We use Appcast to advertise on many platforms all at once. It definitely generates lots of applications quickly. Great for low level roles and volume recruiting.

Cons

There is no branding. We get a lot of meaningless applications but we still have to pay for them. It is not relevant for specialist or high level roles.

### "Appcast"

January 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

I really like the easy use of the software to change campaign filters and budgets - Great customer service, though with the quality of the program's UI, I rarely need assistance from our account representatives.

Cons

Meeting cadence - with the ease of the software, I think we can move to monthly or quarterly meetings instead of bi-weekly

January 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

Appcast provides a dashboard that is easy to use with all of the relevant information to see how our recruiting efforts are working. It breaks down all of the information in a quick concise manner that is great when you are needing real-time data.

Cons

I would like to see instead of the Top 3 job boards, maybe a Top 10 so that we can see more places where we are making an impact.

Easy and efficient way to get posts out across multiple sites with one source, once click. Helps you reach markets you might not on your own. Additionally, great tool to increase diverse and veteran reach.
