Pros and cons

They are exceptionally good: they have answers, they seem to be good with the employers and understand the concept of customer service. Without that, the best software could be a bust.
We have had excellent customer support not only for set up but for ongoing review of our marketing in order to continue seeing growth and success.
The Job Board pretty much runs itself and YM Careers does a great job with marketing and provides the client with great promotional tools. I'm very happy with this company.
No bulk download, when viewing resumes, there is no identifier that you already viewed etc.
If you need a job board for your organization, look no further.
We have a hard time pulling out the data we need, although they attempt to provide any KPI you would ever need. This may be an issue of semantics with our lingo and YM's.

F. H. Review

Reviewed 3 years ago

we are a nonprofit organization, and we use the Career Center as a benefit to our partners. Our partners are Engineering companies of a variety of disciplines that are souring talent and recruiting NSBE members. We host a number of events every year. We want to ensure the software is either meeting or exceeding the needs of our partners.

Pros

When working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], she is always so informative and professional, and she listens and understands the needs of our partners with respect to their use of the NSBE Career Center. She assists me in remedying problems; however, she assists me with respect to brainstorming to determine how to meet and exceed the needs of our partners.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a long time to implement new project initiatives, but I can say since working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] she goes and above and beyond with respect to following up with me about the rolling out of new software functionality that is designed to meet the needs of our partners.

Vendor response

Hi Franco, thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that our partner services team has gone above and beyond to provide exceptional customer support and exceed expectations as well. We strive to keep our partners up to date with our product updates and answer all questions that may arrive and provide further explanation.

Great non-dues revenue source

Reviewed 4 years ago

We have been a YM Careers customer for many years (including the software's previous iterations as CareerBank, etc.). We are very happy that , as part of the Community Brands umbrella, we were recently able to implement a single sign-on system with our main website, powered by Aptify (also a Community Brands product).

Pros

YM Careers enables us to provide a full-featured, niche job board to our members without having to develop or purchase any software ourselves. The revenue-share model has enabled us to have a stream of non-dues revenue, while providing a very valuable service to accounting job seekers and employers. The back-end admin areas allows us to track all of the transactions and user information and manage discount codes.

Cons

In a perfect world, we would love to be able to host the functionality within our main website rather than on a separate website.

Vendor response

Hi Rachael, thank you for your review! We strive to continue in our quest for innovation by integration and provide our partners with more to come!

Customer Support is Excellent, UX is just okay!

Reviewed 2 years ago

YM has had a long relationship with PRSA and I think we enjoy the customer experience with the organization. With that being said, I am rather new and I have addressed these concerns before, the UX is outdated in comparison to other platforms. I know the organization seems like its adding features that make it cool but what is really cool is simplifying some of the most used inputs on the front end, like posting a job!

Pros

It's very easy to use on the backend

Cons

It's dated in terms of the UX experience for the time period

Vendor response

Hi Anthony, Thank you for taking the time to review YM Careers. I'm happy that you are satisfied with its ease of use. We are always working to improve and enhance the functionality and UX of our products, and launched several new features and upgrades in 2021. Keep looking out for changes and improvements in 2022!

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

I have been using YM Careers job board software since 2003. It works flawlessly bringing together my employer and jobseeker clients. Never a question on how to post a job from employers or how to respond to the ads from the job applicants. Several employer pay options are available including credit card, invoice, or check. Real-time dashboard gives me a quick reference to traffic and sales data.

Cons

No complaints on our YM Careers partnership. They have many years improving their processes and that continuous improvement mentality is reflected in the product.

Vendor response

Steve, Thank you for being a customer for 13 years! We are so happy to hear that the platform works so well for your members and employers, and for your team! Please do not hesitate to let us know how we can continue to improve our products and services! We will be releasing lots of great new functionality this year!

Prospanica REview

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

I love how easy it is to add an employer, resolve an issue for an employer, check if they have access and add access if they don't. It's quick and easy to perform a walkthrough and show the areas and functionality of the job board.

Cons

I wouldn't say there are any things I don't like but I believe there's always room for improvement, a lot of times I have to refer to my email or Trello for accounts that needed to be added or updated or having an issue. It would be great to have an area on the backend to put those notes or tasks/outstanding items to have it all in one place. Also the Insights tab, data, data and data is what our employers constantly bring up, particularly metrics on demographics, industry and function and which jobs perform the best. The more data we can get, the better.

Highly recommend YM Careers

Reviewed 2 years ago

Would highly recommend this software. Our members like having an industry specific Jobs Board, and it's a nice little revenue boost for our association that requires minimal staff time to operate.

Pros

We have used a YM Careers Jobs Board for almost 20 years. Our customers report it's easy to post their jobs, and the jobs are displayed in a clean, modern fashion.

Cons

I do not feel there are any missing features.

Vendor response

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for YM Careers! We are happy that your members enjoy their Career Center experience and that it is meeting your association's needs.

YM Careers

Reviewed 2 years ago

It has been positive. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is our trouble shooter and usually responds in a timely manner so we can resolve our customer's issues. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is actively involved in making us as successful as we can be. She is quick to respond to issues that come up and works to resolve them for us. Her monthly meetings with us are beneficial to keep us up to date on the latest available to us.

Pros

The Career Center is our #1 member benefit for our organization. Our members use this to staff their schools and because they get a voucher code each year for free postings, it is a huge help for their budget

Cons

The most complaint I hear is how the applicants apply. They do not like when they only get an email from a candidate and would prefer that it was not an option. It puts to much effort on the employer.

Just Right for Associations

Pros

YM Careers allows us to provide a job board for our members with manageable administrative input. Members can post and search job opportunities to maximize their careers. We can easily access a data dashboard that shows how our members are using the service.

Cons

Up to date customizable platform

Reviewed 2 years ago

YM Careers powers the ASME Career Center and Job Board in a tunr key manner, meanting YM powers the platform as well as conducts recruitement sales and provides excellent marketing and creative support not just for the ASME Career Center but also for the ASME Virtual Career Fair.

Pros

The Insighs Tool is the most impactful as it provides real value to our members. Implementation was seamless, and the platform is intuative, the e-commers feature is easy to use which drives sales.

Cons

More 3rd party vendors beyond resume writing would be nice. A robust career coaching option could be beneficial. From a student member perspective Internships could be highlighted more, or provided seperately through a dedicated landing page.

My support person: [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is very professional and responsive.

Pros

ease of use, dedicated site for just CRNA community and how it helps CRNAs find opportunities

Cons

I am not sure of the best way to tell clients how to enter a nationwide need - (i understand if the need is by geo target region). How can we prevent clients from entering these titles in the title field or in the body: Anesthesiologist, Anesthesiology Assistant The job board is only for these: CRNA, Nurse Anesthetist or Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist

We have been with YM for a long time. We recently looked at what else was out there and chose to keep our partnership because we have grown together! YM remains responsive and are super receptive to our ideas for customization!

ASRM Career Center with YM Careers

Reviewed 3 years ago

The ASRM's experience with YM Careers has been extremely positive. YM Careers continues to innovate and upgrade their software leading to more options for us and our members. We have a dedicated service representative with YM Careers who is always knowledgeable and prompt to give us information on new offerings and opportunities.

Pros

This software meets a variety of needs of ASRM users. It's easy to both post a job and search for a new position. I especially like that a user can purchase job posting add-ons to help with discoverability. It has a self-contained messaging system that allows users to search for a job while holding down a current position. And their marketing tools are amazing - so useful and constantly updated. The Career Fair module is a must for our organization. It is both easy to use and implement allowing employers to easily connect with job seekers during our annual conference.

Cons

I think that there's a little bit of a learning curve for our members who are physicians and do not often read instructions sufficiently but this is often solved by YM's customer support.

Review from PIHRA

My experience has been exceptional. Not only does our association have a great partnership with YM Careers but we have a seen a steady growth in our sales since working on a monthly basis with our direct contact at YM Careers. We feel supported and equipped to continue to help our members use this product.

Pros

As a partner or YM careers I find the product to be seamless and easy to use. The marketing resources and tools housed in the platform help guide our association to better market the Career Center to our members and provide better service.

Cons

Our priority is providing excellent and timely customer service to our members. At times we have experienced delays when it comes to YM Career servicing our members. Better customer service would be helpful to ensure members and nonmembers get the most out of YM Careers.

Pros

The software is a one stop shop and operates like a business in a box. It feels like a turnkey operation in which you are provided with a comprehensive marketing toolkit that makes it effortless to launch a career site. There is a lot of opportunity to expand your business with this software.

Cons

I would like to customize the look of the site more and have more opportunities to optimize the meta data and SEO. This is not a deal breaker for me. The only thing I don't like is getting compensated via paper checks. I could change anything; it would be incorporating a direct deposit option.

Honestly for the volume our career center gets I think YM Careers is too robust. Since we are so niche, we can't implement some of the features and we don't get enough traffic to justify the cost.

There is really no way to run financial reports without oversight from YM.
