Admissions Consultant Primary/Secondary Education ### "Silkroad" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 September 6, 2018 Pros I think that this is really great because it's connected to linked in. This isn't used at my company, but it should be. I let our career services know about this product but it's not up to them to use. Part of our school's perks is to help students find the job they are looking for. What better way, then for them to use this product so they could help the students get linked in and find the right recruiter's. Not only that but we have positions that haven't been filled in over 6 months which wouldn't happen if we had more access to applicants. Cons I only ran into this product because of where I worked before. This could really use some more advertising so it falls in the right hands.

Executive Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting ### "Simple and easy to use software" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 March 24, 2018 From a recruiter's view, it's an easy to use software for uploading candidates but there is no way to make any changes or even view the candidate submitted. Pros I use this software to upload candidates into my clients candidate portals for positions that I recruit on. I basically find the position the client has assigned to me and then I upload candidates for that specific position. Once that candidate is uploaded I receive a thank you for submitting a candidate or I receive a notice that the candidate is already in the client's candidate pool. Cons I do not have the ability to view all candidates I have submitted and do not have the ability to go back into a candidate profile to make changes such as a phone number, address etc. Once the candidate is submitted I no longer have access. I am also not able to upload a newer or updated version of a resume. It would be very helpful if there was a way for the recruiter representing the candidate to have access to the resume to make changes to the candidate profile.

I like how clean and organized each post is and that every position is legitimate when posted. Cons What I like least about this software is that the presentation of jobs posted is very bland and boring. there isn't much to catch the eye but this is also keeping it less distracting.
