Essential Software!

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The Ease of use and ability to jump between current and recent candidates/clients/searches

Cons

It can be a hinderance not being able to use the same '#contact' for a business of multiple locations as you are left to individually enter all the details multiple times

Vendor response

Hi Ben, Thank you for your review! We love that you see Firefish as an essential. Many thanks, Amy

Good Product

Reviewed 2 years ago

good database, easy work flow system. Support team are great.

Pros

Easy to use system, basic to use but effective.

Cons

Still some features that need to be introduced to make a more seamless workflow, mainly around getting CVs that have been self sourced into a candidate profile.

Vendor response

Hi Crystal, Thank you for your review. It's good to know that you love the product. Many thanks, Amy

I have had very few issues with the Firefish product and any issues have been resolved quickly

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

It's easy to use across multiple platforms and devices. I like that it remembers where I finished at and keeps multiple tabs open at a time which allows me to move easily through the system

Cons

Nothing stands out as a particular dislike, I enjoy using the system. I'd like a few more search result categories but think this is more to do with our configuration rather than an issue with the software

Excellent Recruitment Tool

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Firefish is an invaluable tool for INEOS on a daily basis. Firefish tailor the product to our business needs and nothing is too much trouble when requests are made. The system also increases our efficiency as a recruitment team.

Cons

The system meets our needs on a daily basis but I would like the reporting function to be a bit easier to use so we can analyse our data in the system.

Recruiter Friendly System

Reviewed 5 years ago

We needed an effective CRM without the complexities with other CRM's. The Firefish CRM offered just that. The team deliver an exceptional level of engagment and training. The fact that you control the functionality of the CRM make life so much easier.

Pros

Ability to customise the functions to mirror our business processes. It's very user-friendly and is easy for new users to adopt Continuously adding new features that are relevant Good candidate matching functionality

Cons

The initial fonts and templates but this is something that you can easily change so not a Con as such

worked with other systems, now work with the best

Reviewed 6 years ago

All the team feel Firefish is the best recruitment software they have ever worked with. We love it!

Pros

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.

Cons

It's not the cheapest on the market but you are paying for quality.

Best one I've used, but still has issues

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, it works but with a few areas where improvement is needed. Our business is very candidate focussed, and FF is built more for a client-driven market, so some things we =really don't use and some things we need but others may not

Pros

It's relatively quick and easy to use. Able to access from anywhere.

Cons

Lack of integrations with LinkedIn and WhatsApp. email function is clunky. Have to create duplicate contacts for multi-office clients

Vendor response

Hi James, Thank you for your review. We will pass your comments back to our customer team. Many thanks, Amy

A very simple, user friendly system that is easily adaptable

Reviewed 2 years ago

Positive, I really like the FF product and it gives us what we need.

Pros

The ease at which I can post roles, track candidates and re-cycle back into new processes

Cons

Ideally, the interviews would feed into my outlook calendar so I could keep track that way

The best software I've used

Reviewed 5 years ago

It just works! That seems like an easy thing to achieve with a piece of software, but it really isn't. To have a tool like this has made my team and I more productive, quicker at doing admin tasks and ultimately has allowed us to maximise our potential for sales.

Pros

This is by far the most intuitive CRM I've used over my career in recruitment. It's easy to use, has plenty of useful features and is very reliable. It just works!

Cons

There have been a few hiccups with accessing documents. However these issues have been temporary and have not impacted on my work at all.

Useful, Easy and Efficient

Reviewed 5 years ago

As a daily, hourly user. It keep you up to date with everything you have done, if you put as much info in, Firefish gives it back to you and you really have to utilise it to the best of your ability ie - Emails, Texts and Updates!

Pros

I love the To-Do List feature, It is useful, self explanatory and plans your day for you based on the information you give it! Also, the Weekly KPI feature really allows you to see your week on how we or not so well you have done which helps you priortise what you have to do

Cons

I like Firefish all round, however, I feel that it can lose your previous info that you have put in which is frustating however it isn't anything that affects your day consistently. Not much to pick at!

Reviewed 3 years ago

FANTASTIC. The best I've used, and I won't be using anything else.. ever!

Pros

The biggest pull for me, is how simple and user friendly Firefish is! Fantastic detailed, yet so simplistic at the same time - without unnecessary complications like so many of it's rivals.

Cons

Any faults I've ever had, have also been rectified and added in during any upgrades - so no complaints from me!

Reviewed 7 years ago

Very easy to use. Does basics very well.

Pros

interface is user friendly, straightforward. Social media integration is good. Search function is good. Customer service has been excellent and response times fast

Cons

It's "beta" nature - having to compile votes to seek improvements in a commercial environment seems to go against spirit of what commercial recruitment is.

So intuitive!

Reviewed 5 years ago

The team over t Firefish are also extremely helpful and friendly - 10 out of 10.

Pros

Having worked in the industry for nearly 20 years I have used many different CRM systems - Firefish is by far the best - it is really intuitive and providing you have entered good quality data (which is so easy to do!) it basically does your job for you leaving you feeling confident that you haven't 'missed out' on anyone.

There is nothing so far that I have found to be a probem

Effective collaboration with the FireFish team. Product helps our team manage data efficiently

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Intuitive, easy to navigate, exceptional customer service, drawn to the intelligent capabilities of the product

Cons

Doesn't talk to LinkedIn as effectively as possible, desire more notifications via email when hiring activity is logged in the system, desire a view for investors that don't use the product but like to have access to hiring activity and sales data

Vendor response

Hi there! Thanks for your review. We're glad you're enjoying the system. It¿s possible to set up a free report administrator license which would allow your investors access to view reports. If this sounds like it¿d work for you, please drop support a line to get this activated. They would just need to know a name and email address to set up the free license with.

Pros

I like the ease of use and the customer support. There is continuous development of the software so our product is always up to date.

One thing I would really like is a manually created talent pool. I'd like to almost "save for later" rather than it created a list of potential matches.
