ClearCompany started out as an applicant tracking system and, over the years, has added new solutions and partnered with other vendors to become the end-to-end talent management software it is today. ClearCompany’s applicant tracking system carries functionalities that include one-click background checks, mobile application portals that are completely brandable, social sharing tools and career sites, automated posting, job board management, video interviewing, and hundreds of automatic, real-time reporting options.
Candidates can submit their applications via a mobile-optimized platform that’s available on their chosen device, be it a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. ClearCompany allows HR professionals to spend less time screening submitted applications through knockout questions and predefined multi-staged processes to find the perfect candidate. Assessments from a library of more than 500 assessment tests from leading publishers can be included in the application process.
ClearCompany is equipped with a candidate sourcing tool that grants recruiters access to more than 160 million social talent profiles. This reduces the time spent looking for applicants matching your ideal candidate profile, as well as the average cost per hire. Integration between applicant tracking and candidate sourcing eliminates data redundancies, as information flows directly between the two.
The app’s candidate sourcing functionality enables the recruiting department to create deeper talent pipelines that they can readily reuse for the next hiring cycle. You can search the applicant database by skill, job title, or any keyword you deem appropriate. Candidate profiles can be shared with team members or added to requisitions for follow-up.
ClearCompany’s paperless onboarding system allows customers to digitize their process with online packets by transforming their current onboarding workflow into a customized digital version. The software also carries a library of numerous onboarding forms that you can use out of the box.
A packet can be sent to a new hire in just a few clicks, and individual approvers can be assigned for each form, enabling different managers or departments to sign off a completed form. Automated reminders can be set up to notify new hires and approvers of forms or tasks requiring their attention. To eliminate double data entry, ClearCompany uses smart forms with pre-filled data from previously entered information. Data sources include the new hire’s employment application, resume, and other relevant forms.
ClearCompany’s performance management feature can accommodate an unlimited number of peer or 360-degree reviews. Automated reminders are sent to employees who haven’t yet completed their reviews, and customizable reporting tools allow managers to track individual and team progress against benchmarks, and visually pinpoint top performers.
You can create as many review forms as you need, and even set up custom scoring tables or free-form response sheets. Goals are tracked and updated in real time, and ClearCompany’s social approach to aligning individual goals with the company’s objectives enables employees to share their goals with colleagues, send and receive peer feedback, recognize achievements in real time, and communicate items of high importance.
ClearCompany’s goal setting and tracking functionality allows managers and employees to identify and accomplish the goals that help them succeed and impact the company’s bottom line. Users see and understand how each goal is broken down, who is responsible for certain tasks and projects, and who is on track.
This feature offers companies a clear picture into their teams and the individuals comprising them, including their strengths and weaknesses, allowing managers to effectively allocate their human resources. Data on important company goals are collected and monitored, and employees see how their individual goals fare against company ones.
Employees are awarded logins to a self-service portal where they see how their goals are tracking.

Love that my confusion was eaily handled by their customer support, I felt I had a dedicated relationship that felt more like "consulting services" versus the typical Client/Vendor relationship
Pros
Add in their applicant tracking system as it allows bulk email, Hard and Mobile site integration, as well the one-click background checks save an inordinate amount of fine!
Cons
Their automated reporting ensures that clients maintain full EEO & OFCCP compliances, but also their were literally too many potential reports that could track just about anything.

The reporting capability made preparations for our AAP a snap, and helps with last minute requests for data/metrics from Executive Leadership.

Although we are currently not using the performance management component, I think I could make a case for incorporating this feature as well if it was integrated with a compensation tool for performance and salary planning combined.

Consider what your needs really are, I found that other systems have many complex features that in truth we'd never use.
I find the benefits of onboarding is great. again everything is one location, accounting gets a completed packet with nothing missing prior to their first day.
Pros
What I like most about the software is that I have all the information for candidates and employees in one place.
Cons
So I don't like that I don't have an overview in the dashboard of what internal packet items have not been completed.

We were eager to find a software to help us organize as we were consistently recruiting for at least 15 open jobs at all times.
Pros
Could generate and send offer letter for approval and then to candidate for signature in seconds and without the use of a 3rd party DocuSign type system.
Cons
There were a few times where we found discrepancies on specific job reports vs. the data tracked on the job req's dashboard.

A little confusing due to so many custom options Would like to have had a project outline for communicating roll out for the company. I've managed, but lack experience in this area, and as a small company, more guidance in rollout would have been helpful.

Make a list of your recruiting requirements and as you go through the system presentation make sure that your requirements are met. Ask questions on things that weren't covered. The system has many features and it can be overwhelming during a 30 - 40 minute presentation.
Pros
Used ClearCompany in a previous role - their onboarding functionality was great for collaborating across teams, leaders, stakeholders.
Cons
Not a big fan of the ATS/Talent Management sides - hard to operate at high-volume/high-touch, and not a huge fan of the performance management.

If you need a very robust system for a large company this may not be the ideal solution, however, if you need something simple and easy Clear Company is ideal.

Very attractive yet stay away until their software works without issues. After doing demos with many other ATSs and much research, I was duped by the number of reviews online by reputable sources.
Pros
UP-To-Date on many (almost all) industry features, such as a robust reporting module and interview scheduling module, even video interview scheduling and recording etc.
Cons
Our uses couldn't login after we bought and implemented the program, because of a glitch that ultimately was resolved by Clearco internally building users for our thousands of employees.
