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
Easy to set up and use, excellent value for money, and the online suggestions are brilliant and actually result in things being done
Nothing, it has always done what we wanted and it's continually being improved

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

The customer service is excellent, the product easy to use and the price very reasonable
It is easy to use and train others to use. I particularly like that the software is adapting to needs of the customer
There are still small issues I have with it but these are being looked into and in development

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.
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.
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.
Hi there, Thank you for your review! Many thanks, Amy

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
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.

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.
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...
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).

Great - They cannot do enough to help. I recommend them all the time
Software is always being improved and updated. Very easy to use. Good value for money.
Formatted CVs need to be more user-friendly. It's a little glitchy.

Very good plus plenty of improvements are needed
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.
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
Hi Nathan, Thank for your review. Glad to know you're enjoying your Firefish experience. Many thanks, Amy

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.
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.
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.

Personally for me, the support that is delivered by this business is second to none, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who looks after our account offers solutions and s very quick to assist with managing issues of any fixes that are required.
The software is integrated into your website so seamlessly add value and eas in managing the data flow, you have full control of the editing and functionality to can make changes and update drop downs and functionality.
Not a great not to like in fairness, it delivers across all metrics for us

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
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
Hi Max, Thank you soo much for taking the time to write this review. We're over the moon that you think Firefish is an A** system! Many thanks, Amy

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

Overall experience has been great. Very easily onboarded and implemented and tech support there when needed.
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.
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.
Hi Ed, Thanks for your review! We're glad you've had a great experience with Firefish. Many thanks, Amy

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. The support from the helpdesk if efficient & friendly. I find it fantastic value and would highly recommend it.
The pre-defined reports are great however I find the report builder a little difficult to navigate.
Hi Nikki, Did you know we now have an advanced Reports Dashboard feature that allows you to visualise your team's recruitment data in an instant? It's very easy to set up and use too. https://www.firefishsoftware.com/feature-pages/reports-dashboard Thanks!

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

Firefish is a highly intuitive system that is easy to set up and use. The onboarding process is smooth and customer support is great if you do encounter any issues. My favourite thing about Firefish is the ease of use.
It's not the cheapest on the market but you are paying for quality.

What can I say! I extensively researched CRM systems within the recruitment industry and chose Firefish for a number of reasons including value for money, customer service and its easy to use interface. I have not been disappointed. As the company MD I can oversee my consultants progress, set individual kpi's and generate useful reports. The system is easy to use and a fantastic management tool
No access to an App for on the go! It would be great to see this feature

Nothing, happy with the all round performance.
