Vitay has been a valuable tool for our recruitment process. The platform's ease of use and automation features, like reminder emails, have minimized the time spent on manual follow-ups, making our workflow more efficient.
I like Vitay's ease of use, especially the automation of reminders, which significantly reduces the back-and-forth communication typically involved in the reference check process.
more detailed and customizable reporting features

I have really enjoyed working with Vitay on references, as I stated it is a seamless stress free process!
I love that Vitay is such a time saver! It communicates with the references via text and email woth a seamless process to receive the references back quickly!
I do with the integration with Saleforce was a bit cleaner.

The ease of use is the thing I love most. I was up and running within a minute or two the first time I used it.
It is so easy to use! Once I learned the process once I was locked in. No going back to my manager to ask "Wait, what do I have to do next?"
I really have no cons. I am able to send out references requests and get them back as fast as the people are able to complete them.

My overall experience with Vitay is positive
What I liked most about vitay was how easy it was to use
What I liked least about Vitay was the emails it keeps sending my candidates when a reference still hasn't filled out a form

Entering referees phone number, contacting phone number of referees delays the process

Amazing, if you have any questions you can reach out to them for support and they keep making QOL updates that make the software better to use everytime.
It simplifies the reference process and allows any size of organization to not focus on the hardships of chasing candidates references.
Honestly, its hard to come up with something I dont like. The feature id love to see added is a notification if a reference used a work email if it was blocked but I understand that is not on vitay and is on the persons work email auto sorting it

It has been good. The system is easy to use, and we have full control which is nice to be able to update as needed. We had some bumps on start up but our customer rep was fast at getting things fixed and its been smooth sailing since.
The system is easy to use, and quick. We have full control which is nice to be able to update as needed. The reports and information are have a nice format, that looks nice and is easy to read through.

Amazing, a great product that has improved the operations of my daily work life.
The UI is quick and easy to use. It offers better results compared to other platforms we have used.

I like the ease of access , reminders and ability to add/delete the questions with not much of hassle
1. not having options to make mobile number mandatory 2. no spot to add the title of the position that the applicant is applying to

Vitay allowed us to reduce the time in completing references. More efficient in reducing time taken to complete a reference. HR and the clients (managers) are satisfied with the results.

The ease of use, the quick request feature, the score, the ability to download the references and store them in the candidates file, the ability to send reminders, and to review if no response received
I really appreciated all that Vitay did...I guess the price was the only downfall.

Very pleased. We looked at 4 of the top-rated systems and hands down Vitay was the most direct, down-to-earth, and easy to partner with. Candidate and References really respond well and quickly to the requests. It has taken a lot off our to-do lists and now we can spend time on other priorities!
The software is straight forward and flexible. In our experience what it doesn't do, the company is willing to work with us to make things align with our needs. They have also made sound recommendations on set-up and design that helped us get up and running quickly.
The ONLY thing I can think of is a request for minimum characters in answers. Referees can get very sparse with their answers and requiring a minimum of characters in their answers could help.

Overall, our experience has been great! The Vitay team has been very responsive to our feature requests, feedback, and troubleshooting issues. The team is always friendly and helpful and has been a great experience to work with them!
The product is always changing and improving. Some products we work with are very stagnant and their product releases are as simple as adding a new font. Vitay is not like that. Vitay is constantly releasing new features and modules that are super useful and overall great improvements to the tool. The tool is very intuitive and easy to use. When training new users on the tool, I often have to cut the meeting short and say "That's it, it is easy to use".
There are some limitations but any time we bring up a limitation, the team at Vitay resolves it for us.

My team can set it and forget it instead of playing phone tag and having to transcribe or reformat responses. This takes all of the legwork out of our processes and reduces turnaround time for our clients. The customer service is outstanding. We always receive responses quickly and we consider Vitay to be more of a partner than just another vendor.
The software is simple and does exactly what they say it will do, but it is also still evolving. The development team has allowed us to customize many features to suit our unique needs.
While it is nice to set it and forget it, we would like to have a little more control of the overall process from beginning to end by receiving out of office notifications. I know that request is in the hopper though, so we really can't complain. In the future we might like the option to customize completed reports with our client's logos in addition to our logo, just to add a little more personality to the final product.

The service has been great and I cannot find fault in the product or the support.
Overall the software has been so easy to use and tailored to meet our needs as an organisation. It does exactly what we need it to and more and retrieves references in amazing time, not only that is very straightforward for the users on the other end making the whole process are breeze for both parties.
There have not been any issues thus far since using the software.

As a recruiter chasing referees and filling out reference forms manually wasn't the most effective use of my time. This software has given me back many hours in my week that I can now spend on more productive tasks. Highly recommend this to any recruiter looking to optimize their processes and reduce the amount of daily admin they have to do.
Effective! Gets the task of reference checking done in less time and with very little effort compared to manually collecting them. Easy to use Reports produced have our branding and look great High response rates Automated lead generation - we've picked up multiple new candidates and clients Most cost effective compared to competitors Excellent Client Service
We could only have one main account holder. It would be nice if we could allocate admin privileges to more than one user in our team to be able to check on the team dashboard & results.

It takes a lot of time to call or email for candidates references. This program in place takes care of that! It also has a quick reminder tab that I can use to remind clients that haven't sent in their references. It sets us apart from our competitors. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this program to anyone seeking a easier, faster way to get references!
I like that I can customize the questions I want answered on work references. If I had any kind of issue, the customer service department quickly took care of it. It is affordable! Really like the fact our logo was included in the work history report. It makes a great presentation to the client. The ease of getting references back! Totally happy with this company and the service they provide.
When references come back, I wish the name of the person could be a color-coded, change colors once reference is complete. At a glance it would make it much easier to identify quickly who still needs reference completed. Last thing - Once candidates reference has been downloaded their reference could be kept in a separate folder? Move it off the board but would be able to find it if needed.

The Vitay team have been responsive and very quick to respond to our needs. They have been able to add features that have allowed us to generate opportunities for us to grow our business. We have been able to almost eliminate an administrative role within our company saving us over $35k per annum.
Simple to use and flexible application (highly custom) User friendly across all platforms Saves time Reduces cost significantly High adoption rate by clients
Some clients do not want to receive automated reference reports but this is less than 5 %
