Pros
On the one hand, Softgarden naturally helps us to get more applicants. On the other hand, Softgarden also helps us to improve the application process and to make a better impression on the candidates.
The career page we have created with softgarden is not only an essential tool to promote our brand in a competitive market, but it is a great aid to the recruitment process.
Support Representative who is not only extremely knowledgeable but also very responsive providing effective solutions in a very timely manner.
Cons
It is difficult to see something negative to this software, it has a payment plan and depending its use can become expensive. I think this application should be developed in more languages.
It is a pity that you cannot use the search engine for searching candidates via their telephone number or e-mail address.
I had technical problems, many changes in the tool in a short time.

Easy to handle tool for everyone

Reviewed 7 years ago

Softgarden is a well-structured, client-friendly product. The easy handling helps the users to simplify their assessment process. Especially the opportunity that multiple colleagues can give feedback to the applicants and therefore work on it together gives an additional value. Softgarden is constantly working on their software. Following this, new tools appear constantly. If you still have questions or suggestions, their customer service is always approachable.

We are happy customers!

Reviewed 7 years ago

We once organized applications in paper and over the E-Mail boxes. When our company grew and as manager were located in different cities is became really difficult to organize the applications, keep track of the applications, etc. The candidates must have had the impression that we were unorganized as we were not able to repond to the applicants on time or could not tell whem in what status the application...

There is not really anything that comes to my mind.
