Frankly spoken, my experience is very limited. The few times I've been surfing the site, I was interested. But I have not really used the application for the reasons it is designed for.

Pros

It allows viewing positions in many countries, thus gives a good overview about possibilities more or less worldwide.

Cons

It is not always evident to understand whether an announcement is useful or not. Although I live in Belgium, I got a mail announcement for a position in the Philippines; even today, I'm ignorant whether the Pilippino office seeks an expatriate or not.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

I like BrightOwl as an easy to navigate and user friendly tool.

Pros

I really like the customer service and approach to the client. BrightOwl Managers are interested in receiving the feedback and comments. BrightOwl is user friendly. It is super easy to build the Boolean strings and review the profiles.

Cons

BrightOwl is not competitive to LinkedIn or other bigger job boards as the pool of candidates is rather limited.

Offer and demand meet each other on this website.

Pros

Big database with vacancies. There is a possibility to use particular filters, like salary, full/part-time, etc.

Cons

I don't know how to use all filters. Some can be set as default, but it is not very clear for me.

I like the fact that the website includes many accurate filters for job search. Much better that other job posting sites. Also I like the invitation system. It saves a lot of time

Cons

Presentation could be a little bit better. No integration with Linkedin CV or other services that make filling profiles easier/

Unfortunately, LinkedIn removed the option to automatically import CV information so there's not much we could do about that... We are however always on the lookout to improve our system and will keep on doing so in the future! -Carlo
