Great service, very good product and intuitive to use

Reviewed 5 years ago

Very positive!

Pros

The customer service is second to none. I like the overall design and layout. I also find the job progression, with the templates that create to send emails are great for saving me time.

Cons

The initial price for the upgrade put me off slightly, as there are cheaper products out there.

Brilliant

Reviewed 5 years ago

Good, robust software for all the reasons mentioned above but one thing I would say is that the support is better than any application I have ever used. So if there is a difficulty, its resolved very, very quickly. The support team are lovely, really good to work with.

Pros

Simple, easily to navigate & really logical - so easy to learn how to use. Doesn't over complicate anything, so all the functionality is there without it losing its ease of use.

Cons

Specifically for NI, doesn't do FEC (fair employment) reporting. Would be a really easy piece to add for the NI market

Firefish review

Reviewed 2 years ago

I have been using the software for about 3 weeks and is great for candidate and client searches and management

Pros

The ease of finding candidates with the in depth search

Cons

Cant save job searches. This makes it difficult when a candidate called you up from earlier in the day and you need to go through the specifics again

Vendor response

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

Great CRM for recruitment companies

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

It's very user friendly, easy to train new people on and it has a great workflow. The dashboard isn't too busy and the functionality overall is the best I've used after almost 20 years in recruitment.

Cons

You have to scroll up and down too much to look at the screen. There could be a few small shortcuts and things added that we need in the HR space.

Great CRM

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

This software provides easy access to candidate information which makes my job easier when it comes to filling my jobs with the appropriate and most qualified candidates.

Cons

If I could change one thing about FireFish it would be, a list to show in order the date of availability of candidates when you do a search for a specific candidate. I would also like it if it showed candidates "skills" in one section on the main screen of their profile.

Ease of use

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

Firefish is a fantastic bit of a software that puts other archaic recruitment CRM to shame.

Cons

I dislike the fact it is built into a browser rather than a standalone app. I appreciate this lets you use it from any device but as always you are at the discretion of the browser and not all browsers are built alike.

Thank you for your review. Amy

New user review

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

It is easy to use, very straight forward and quick to learn

Cons

I don't like how slow it is to do several searches, you often have to go back to the search and it can be time consuming. I also don't like the new update where it has removed the tabs from the profiles, this also has a time impact as you have to do more stages to get to the desired page

Vendor response

Hi Harriet, Thank you for your review and feedback. Will pass this on to our customer team. Many thanks, Amy

Pros

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

Cons

My thoughts on Firefish

Reviewed 2 years ago

It has been very helpful on keeping track on our candidates and contacts, so I would say are very happy with it and will gladly continue to work with it in the foreseeable future.

Pros

This software is easy to use and it doesn't take a lot of time to get used toTracking candidates progress or taking notes, your experience with this software will be very productive if you use the right tools offer to you by the firefish team.

Cons

It would be great if we could make saved searches with filters we want to track and get notified if a candidate fits those particular criteria and is added to that search and for us to get a notification for it either by a simple notification on firefish or even on our email.

Vendor response

Hi there, Thank you for your lovey review. We appreciate you taking the time to do this. Many thanks, Amy

Best system out there!!

Reviewed 2 years ago

Excellent - Firefish is the 'bible' of our company. It does everything & more that we need it to do.

Pros

We are a new business and finding the right CRM system was key. I have used Firefish in a previous business and new this had to be the one. Been in recruitment for 10 years I have used various systems, but Firefish is the best system out there.From integrations, coaching sessions, configurations, to general support - they have an amazing team that are there to help & support at anytime.

Cons

The only thing I feel could be improved is job platforms - as a new business we only have CV Library that is paid - I know there are free job boards out there, so would be good to have them on here too.

I am still getting used to the software and so far I am happy with the software.

Pros

I haven't been too involved with the integration into our business, however, when it comes down to my use of uploading candidates to build a database and search for candidates it is very easy to use.

Cons

Not being able to add more than one position when creating a candidate profile

Easy and Convenient

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed using Firefish and will continue to use it in the same way.

Pros

I use the Advert posting, applicant processing, and CV database. I absolutely love all these features as they're incredibly easy to use and very convenient. My favourite feature is the option for mandatory pre-screening questions as this saves me a lot of time when going through the job applications.

Cons

Honestly, not many cons come to mind as there are parts of Firefish I don't use but perhaps the organisation of the Candidate profiles. The CV is buried on the last tab in documents but is the most important thing on someone's profile.

Hi Amelie, Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate that you enjoy using Firefish, finding it easy and convenient. Many thanks, Amy
