Appcast Reviews

“Multi-site job advertising with flexible CPA

Pros

I can advertise across multiple job sites without setting up each one individually and I have the flexibility to raise or lower CPA to match changing market needs.

Cons

We need more fully completed candidate applications coming through our ATS to be able to compete with Indeed's hosted quick-apply campaigns.

“Outstanding support

Pros

Our team behind this platform is outstanding. They listen to our healthcare organization's specific needs and consistently come to the table with practical ideas that make recruitment even easier.

Cons

Can't think of any drawbacks with this platform, we're very happy with how the partnership has worked out for us.

“Limited traction and reach

Pros

It is really easy to use and it gives me a great opportunity to increase my brand's exposure.

Cons

We haven't seen the level of traction we'd hoped for.

“Top-notch customer service with smooth integration

Pros

Hands down, the standout part for us is the customer service and support from our representatives. They always take time to walk through strategy and performance. The UKG integration runs smoothly and we've experienced minimal issues.

Cons

I've noticed that when candidates use the quick apply option, some details don't transfer over which makes it tricky for me to match Indeed's level of performance.

“Handles large job volumes efficiently

Pros

What I love most is that it actually gets the job done. It handles large volumes of job postings and meets my spending requirements without cutting corners on applicant quality. It genuinely makes my work simpler, once I'm set up and have dialed in the best titles and strategies to use, it'll deliver and support me in hitting my recruiting targets.

Cons

There aren't any major issues with the software, though I would appreciate extra capabilities like integrating paid search for Google to improve my recruiting workflow.

“Aggregated information for better visibility

Pros

It provides extra visibility by aggregating information into a single view. In my opinion this is great tool.

Cons

Over the years, I've seen the platform become more transparent which resolves a gripe I used to have.

“Strategic complement for job distribution

Pros

For me, this tool acts as a helpful complement to our overall strategy and really supports the way we distribute jobs within our system.

Cons

I wish the reporting and candidate-management features were enhanced, as that would make it much easier for me to use.

“Easy filter adjustments and budget changes in-app

Pros

What stands out to me is how easy it is to adjust campaign filters and change budgets directly in the app. The support team has been great whenever I need them but honestly the layout is so clear that I rarely have to contact our account reps for help.

Cons

Regarding meeting cadence, I feel we could move to monthly or quarterly check-ins instead of bi-weekly, since the software is feasible and this would free up my time without sacrificing oversight.

“Account manager support for job posts

Pros

Another thing I really value is the support from our account manager. They were able to identify the exact Indeed hashtags we already use in our job descriptions which makes it much easier for me to sponsor posts for positions that are usually difficult to fill.

Cons

Controlling spend becomes challenging for me when managing a large number of requisitions, as a few positions can consume most of the budget I set aside for hiring.

“Time-saving recruiting platform

Pros

In my experience, this platform has saved my team a lot of time. Instead of constantly monitoring and updating job postings, they can focus more on actively recruiting. The system also keeps track of performance data and metrics for us which removes a big workload. On top of that, it helps us reach more potential candidates for roles that are typically very hard to fill.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any aspects I particularly dislike about it.

“Easy-to-use dashboard and campaign setup

Pros

When I first started using it, I found the platform very easy to understand. The dashboard is clear, setting up campaigns didn't take long and the account management team has been very supportive whenever I had questions.

Cons

Nothing negative really comes to mind right now, I don't have any complaints to add.

“Reliable account team with ATS integration

Pros

Because the account team is so reliable, I'm able to step back and let the platform do most of the work which is something I really need right now with how busy hiring has become. It also connects well with our ATS, so I can easily see which hires came through the platform. That makes putting together reports much easier for me.

Cons

So far, I haven't found any real faults to point out, I find the interface convenient and the tool feasible to navigate.

“Quick HRIS connection setup

Pros

Connecting the platform to our HRIS was incredibly quick. All I had to do was click a button and everything was ready.

Cons

We only allocate a small slice of our budget to this tool, so we're not taking advantage of all its features yet. Personally, I don't have any complaints so far.

“Increased company visibility and brand awareness

Pros

One thing I'm really happy about is the extra visibility it gives our company. Our brand is now appearing in front of people who might never have seen us on sites like Indeed or LinkedIn which has been great for building awareness.

Cons

We don't have a problem with the software itself but we keep receiving notices asking us to pay an invoice, even though our customer service rep keeps telling us those billing alerts are mistakes.

“Multi-site job posting convenience

Pros

For me, it's a convenient way to publish job posts across multiple websites from one place. With just one action, I can reach markets that would normally be hard for me to access. It has also been very helpful for improving outreach to diverse candidates and veterans.

Cons

There were times when I had to raise the budget more than I'd planned to achieve the reach we needed but in my experience the return on investment justified the extra spend.

“Clear and readable dashboard

Pros

The dashboard is very easy for me to read. I can quickly find the information I need without spending time searching around.

Cons

For me, finding it tricky to track down important details.

“Strong results with responsive account team

Pros

So far, the results have been very strong. I'm receiving a large number of candidates and the account manager along with their team has been professional and quick to respond whenever I reach out.

Cons

I've noticed that very few applicants actually make it through to onboarding and a large number of candidates don't respond or become active employees.

“High-volume and entry-level recruiting tool

Pros

We rely on this platform to post jobs across multiple sites all at once. I find it brings in a high volume of applicants very quickly. It's especially useful for entry-level positions and when we're doing high-volume recruiting.

Cons

There's no way for me to include our branding which means we receive many irrelevant applications yet still cover the costs, this doesn't suit specialist or senior-level positions.

“Consolidated dashboard for performance insights

Pros

Using this tool, I have an easy-to-use dashboard that brings together all the relevant details I need to judge how our recruiting efforts are performing. It distills the data into clear, concise segments so I can quickly digest what's happening which is really helpful whenever I need real-time insights.

Cons

I'd prefer the report to show the Top 10 job boards instead of only the Top 3, so I can better understand the broader range of sources driving applicants.

“Market-wide vacancy exposure for clients

Pros

Being able to expose my clients' vacancies to the entire market appeals to me. I find that it really boosts the value I offer and lets me produce strong applications without charging much. I also think the interface is feasible to use, so I can easily walk a client through it.

Cons

It would be helpful for me to view candidate submissions directly inside the platform, as that would make assessing quality much easier.

“Limited relevance compared to Indeed

Pros

I've found this tool really easy to work with. Everything feels clear and navigating through it doesn't take much effort.

Cons

At my company, I find comparisons to Indeed aren't always useful or relevant for our needs.

“Simplified performance metrics tracking

Pros

Keeping track of performance metrics has never been simpler for me. I can see exactly how things are going without any extra hassle.

Cons

From my experience, tracking the exact applications is tricky unless I rely on the JazzHR integration.

“Bullhorn integration and expanded coverage

Pros

What I enjoy most is how well it integrates with Bullhorn. On top of that, our account manager has been fantastic with communication, the expanded state coverage is a big help and the reporting tools are really useful.

Cons

Lately, I've noticed a huge increase in spam applications which has caused us to burn through our budget much earlier in the month than expected.

“Convenient monthly reporting access

Pros

The monthly data and reporting features have been very convenient for me. I can access everything I need quickly whenever I want.

Cons

Managing jobs and postings can get a little chaotic at times, though I appreciate that the account management team jumps in quickly to help resolve issues.

“Too many unqualified applicants

Pros

The interface is simple for me to move through and customer support responds promptly whenever I have a question or need assistance.

Cons

For me, the software often attracts applicants who clearly aren't qualified for the roles.

“simple integration into internal workflow

Pros

I really appreciate how functional the tool is and how easily it fits into our internal software. It feels like a natural part of our workflow.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of anything I dislike about this software.

“Top-notch customer support

Pros

Their customer support has genuinely impressed me, it's top-notch. Being able to set bid prices for each individual job makes it much easier to decide where my budget goes.

Cons

I've found that the cost per application is higher than with comparable products which makes it feel pricier overall.

“easy job addition and quality metrics

Pros

Adding jobs into campaigns is feasible and I can easily check quality metrics which helps me make better decisions without wasting time.

Cons

One thing I'd love is the ability to delete campaigns rather than only pausing them, it would be a big improvement and I'd also like the default filter to show only active campaigns.

“Tool didn't meet expectations!!

Pros

Honestly, the sales and support team were a great twelve out of ten in my experience, they were absolutely incredible to work with and I genuinely think the idea behind the tool is brilliant.

Cons

Although I can see how the concept is strong and might be effective for some teams, for us the tool failed to deliver the outcomes we were expecting, so it didn't meet our needs.

“Job-level bid pricing allows flexible budgets

Pros

What I appreciate is that it lets me set bid prices for candidates at the job level. That feature really helps because I can adjust spending on the fly and make flexible decisions about how to allocate my budget.

Cons

Interface wasn't completely convenient which caused us to overspend on a job posting during our first week using it. Thankfully the support team reacted quickly and worked with us to fix the problem and straighten things out.

“Interface is easy to use and handles high volumes

Pros

I like the interface, it's easy to use and insightful, customer support was reliable, high job volumes handled well, pixel tracking setup easy

Cons

CPA is higher with this product compared to competitors, they won't disclose which job boards are driving applicants to our listings, not every application attributed to their tool performed well, our sales rep suggested increasing the number of jobs would improve results which made us feel pressured to spend more money to see better performance overall
