Excellent Support

Reviewed 5 years ago

The software is great it does what it's meant to, but I'm sure there are a lot of great packages out there, the stand out for me is the customer service and support, prompt, efficient, they listen, always answer the phone, nothing is too much trouble, I get the feeling they appreciate and want to keep our business, which in this day and age is a rarity unfortunately

Pros

Easy to set up and use, excellent value for money, and the online suggestions are brilliant and actually result in things being done

Cons

Nothing, it has always done what we wanted and it's continually being improved

Great service, great product

Reviewed 5 years ago

Just overall it has been a great experience from first phone call (the pitch)4 years ago to integrating it with a new website last month. Great service, good product and great value.

Pros

It's easy to use, easy to change to your exact needs, we bought in to the database as it's set up with just recruiters in mind and you get a first class service, you can actually pick the phone and get an answer within 5secs rather than 'raising a ticket' which takes 48hrs for an email response.

Cons

Honestly, nothing, it is very much the 'ronsil' of recruitment software, it just does exactly as you need it to do.

A Firefish Review: A Comprehensive Look at the Platform

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, my experience with Firefish has been positive. The platform is relatively easy to use and offers some great features for recruiters and job seekers alike. The customer service team is always willing to help and the insights provided into the job market are invaluable. The only downside is the cost of the platform for smaller companies.

Pros

Firefish is a great platform for recruiting professionals. The intuitive user interface and automated processes make the process of finding and hiring the right talent much easier. The customer service team is very responsive and always willing to help. The platform also offers valuable insights into the job market and the skills necessary to make successful hires.

Cons

The main downside of Firefish is that it can be quite expensive for smaller companies. The cost of the platform makes it hard to justify for some businesses and can be a barrier to entry. Additionally, the platform isn't as user-friendly as some of its competitors, making it difficult to use for those not familiar with its features.

Start up empowered by Firefish!

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

The customer service is great, they are quick to respond to issues, happy to help when customising features in the CRM and always open to suggestions. The system was designed by those with recruitment experience and it shows, the task and workflow management is logical and the contact search capabilities and suggested matches are intelligent, adding real value to your candidate and client communications. They also had my website and CRM system set up quickly when my business was founded offering full training and support through onboarding

Cons

The site doesn't fully integrate with major job boards or social media so advert response does not automatically list against your roles and instead goes into your email. There is a 365 integration that means its fairly simple to transfer these into the system but this can be time consuming if you have a high volume of response to manage.

Amazing forward thinking recruitment CRM built by a passionate team - I only wish we'd moved sooner!

Reviewed 4 years ago

From the initial enquiry/demos through to the migration, going live and onboarding - I cannot fault the team at Firefish. Almost 2 months into using the product daily we are really getting to grips with things and the fact they listen to their customers and update the product on a regular basis is invaluable especially compared to our previous CRM.

Pros

Firefish is fast and easy to use which encourages recruitment consultants to use it fully, unlike other systems where consultants only populate it because they "have to". The whole team at Firefish are passionate about the product and this really shows! You feel like a valued customer and nothing is too much work. Coming from a CRM we had used for over 15 years I was nervous about the integration...

Cons

Not many to be honest. There is no in-built document editor (but we have found a simple workaround for this) and some of the reporting took a bit of getting used to. There are a few features we would like to see but other customers have suggested these so it should only be a matter of time before they are implemented. Having said that though, the community is fantastic and the ability to raise and vote on ideas is great. If your business really needs a specific feature this is something that can be developed (at a reasonable cost).

Very good plus plenty of improvements are needed

Pros

The integration seemed to be better compared to other CRMs. The pricing was much more competitive also. I like the cloud hosting aspect compared top more traditional on-prem CRM's. The process is streamlined compared to other CRMs.

Cons

Features missing: *Not being able to keep track of candidates via specific tag files*Not being able to change client tag file names *Not being able to add clients quickly into tag files

The Best recruitment software I have used

Reviewed 5 years ago

Customer support is awesome, I love the fact that they also provide webinars to help you build your business and give you the low down on the latest sales trends to help you get ahead of the crowd.

Pros

Very Easy to set up, helps to speed up the search of candidates and therefore placements. I can access it from anywhere and even on my phone if needed. Compliance is taken care of and all the email templates reduce time too.

Cons

Some drop downs are global so can't be changed. I use LinkedIn a lot so record this activity in Firefish but have to use "general update" and they only make updates on a Thursday, I understand why but I just like things to be done immediately.

A** Recruitment Software!!

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

FireFish is a seamless operating system to help me with my day-to-day recruitment needs. With a responsive and helpful back office, any question or query is never a task and always gets resolved with great urgency.Main pros:- Easy-to-navigate interface- Great integration into digital calendars- User friendly - Great training materials- "FishTank" an active database of useful questions and solutions

Cons

FireFish is a great system, which adds real value to a recruitment business. Areas of improvement would be minor factors such as:- More visually appealing (colors or animations) - Mail automation feature

FireFish Review

Reviewed 5 years ago

There are so many choices in the market at the moment for CRM systems and having tried many different systems over the years and also after trialling many of their competitors I have to say that I couldn't be happier with FireFish. Not only is the product very easy to use for an excellent cost, their after sales service is 2nd to none, they are always happy to help with my multiple questions and always answer my questions quickly and efficiently. Couldn't be happier hence why I have recommended you to several other agencies in South Wales.

Pros

FireFish is very easy to use and navigate and at a fantastic price.

Cons

To be honest we don't dislike anything and if we have a suggestion to improve anything we let them know and they implement the ideas!

Great Software, Great Price

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall experience has been great. Very easily onboarded and implemented and tech support there when needed.

Pros

I've been very happy with the software's user experience. There are countless systems out there which have over complicated what should be relatively straight forward processes and Firefish hasn't fallen into the trap, keeping it simple and intuitive to record and drive the end to end recruitment cycle.

Cons

Having only committed to the basic license, I know there is far greater functionality available if the investment was committed to - so I don't to cite limitations as a negative. I run a small boutique recruitment service and the basic package satisfies what I need to get from the software.

Since using Firefish it has been so much easier to manage our candidate database and active roles. The system is very intuitive and user friendly which was a deciding factor when reviewing systems.

Cons

Legal Recruiter's Firefish Review

Reviewed 4 years ago

Our overall experience with Firefish has been very positive and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Pros

Firefish is easy to use, fast and extremely reliable. Their support team are also excellent - available, responsive and keen to provide the right solutions for you. And all at a very competitive cost in the market. We're a small recruitment business, and moved from a server-based to this, our first cloud-based system. The Firefish team were superb at helping make this transition as smooth as possible. Features I particularly like (which we didn't have on our old - and more expensive - setup): fast CV previews and links to LinkedIn for quick candidate updates; auto updating talent pools; and easy candidate mailshots.

Cons

Firefish provides all the key elements that we need from a system like this. Yes, there are a couple of small things that we'd like to tailor but can't, however, I don't think any system will be a 100% perfect fit (at least not without far greater cost). The team are also great at exploring these points where they arise to find the most effective solution.
