Manager of Customer Experience Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We were a loyal customer, not anymore" August 8, 2019 5.0 We had been using them since they been known only as Clearfit. Our customer service experience with them was always excellent. The last two jobs we posted with them we noticed that our job was not posted to a major job-site that most of our candidates came from. I contacted a customer service representative and he told me that was a mistake he was unaware that they had stop using that job site. He said he would re-publish the ad and that our ad should appear on that mega site. He did, however, it did not appear in the major recruiting site. This experience happened with two job postings within a three week period. We have not use them since then. Pros The analytic report of the job candidates they provide is phenomenal. It is an incredible tool for recruiting your job candidates. Cons Something changed to the way they post your job listing. Our ads used to bring in 30 to 40 responses a post. Typically 10+ would be strong matches to the position. The last two times we use them it didn't bring in more than 5 responses. At first I thought maybe this was because of the strong job market. But then we tried a competitor who offers a similar service. We received our typical 30 to 40 responses with this competitor.
