    Pros
    We are a small recruiting firm and I felt like they cared about your team and our success. It was also apparent that Crelate cares about their employees and sets them up for success.
    It's been an overall great experience and the product continues to evolve with great new features and benefits that we actually use. I highly recommend it for any other growing search firm.
    Easy to use and easy to collaborate. The tags are helpful and I love that I can BCC emails and have them upload on a candidate's profile.
    Cons
    I was worried because when I moved to MaxHire in 2009, my data was a mess.
    Very difficult to get the support when you need it, and there is limited training information available. There pricing is on the high side for the level of product you get.
    But I've been asking for my resumes for 3 weeks and instead of offering me a refund or anything they almost blame me.

    New Crelate User- Loving it

    Reviewed 3 years ago
    Pros

    I've been using Crelate for about 4 months now. It is dramatically better and makes my work much easier than products we used in the past. The visuals and the ease of drag and drop- to bring in linkedin info, to change stages, to schedule activities, upload resumes attached to emails, send emails, to make notes, etc. is wonderful. Managing prospects from sourcing through offer everyday is really easy with Crelate. I love that.

    Cons

    We have specific basic reporting we would like to provide our clients- to do this we have to hire consultants. I wish the basic reporting was better. Also the search/boolean functionality is not as intuitive as linked in talent pool searches.

    Vendor response

    Thank you for writing a review. It is wonderful to hear all the ways that Crelate Talent is helping to manage your pipeline. It sounds like you are comfortable with Boolean searches, but I wanted to share a few resources to help get any new hires up-to-speed faster with both Boolean searches and Crelate Talent's search features.

    mostly good, could use a couple tweaks.

    Reviewed 2 months ago
    Pros

    This is a very intuitive platform and easy reports. The service is also great and helpful as well.

    Cons

    Jobs could be a little easier to search. Sometimes with wonky job numbers, it's not as easy to automatically add candidates to a certain req.

    Honest feedback

    Reviewed 2 months ago

    Not bad. I've used Follow Up Boss and found it to be more robust and easier to use (albeit overwelling with it's functionality)

    Pros

    The new email tracking feature to see if a candidate has read an email.

    Cons

    - Unprofessional looking emails to candidates with terrible line spacing- Bulk emails: can't track if they've been opened by candidates- When I have an issue and Help sends me a link. I don't have time to go and research my problem.

    ATS to watch out

    Reviewed a month ago

    Great experience so far.

    Pros

    Very easy to implement and use, intuitive front end and easy to customize workflows and processes. Super responsive customer support.

    Cons

    They are still updating features and some minor bugs creep in after their new releases (nothing major so far though).

    Crelate has changed my daily business!

    Reviewed 8 years ago

    Crelate has provided much needed simplicity and functionality for my recruiting workflow. My assistant is working 10+ hours per week LESS doing data entry and similar tasks with Crelate than with our previous ATS, which gives me 10+ hours of her time for more productive tasks. I love the flexibility and ease of use for the workflow stages, and I appreciate that all the information I need is on one screen - no waiting for other views to open. If I could give customer support a higher rating than 5 start...I definitely would do so!

    Pros

    Intuitive workflow, data entry/updates are easy in the profile screen, very limited clicks needed to get to all the info you need, easily customizable to my existing workflow. Customer service is fantastic!! Very responsive to customer suggestions. Simple database that gives me what I need without all the burden of an unnecessarily complicated system like Bullhorn. IPad app is fantastic for when I'm on the go!

    Cons

    Scheduling function is not as robust or flexible as I'd like (however, the fantastic tech guys are working on updates to this with the next update release, so this con could become obsolete soon!) This is not a massive system with tons of bells and whistles...it is a simple, intuitive ATS that provides all the functionality I need...but if you want ways to overly complicate things, this may not be the system for you.
