Pros

The partnership approach is amazing, they really want to work together and make things better. Sure, the tech matters but there are lots of other options out there. What really stands out for me is the company culture, the awesome people and their vision for the future.

Cons

As the platform grows, it feels like innovation and adaptability are slowing down, something I've seen happen with other tech companies. While it's understandable, this might make me question our long-term commitment here. Another issue is that some key areas are lacking in functionality. They market this as an "intelligence platform," but the intelligence capabilities aren't all that impressive. The tools for analyzing data and user behavior are weak. It's kind of ironic calling something an "intelligence platform" when it doesn't offer much actionable insight for people like us.

Pros

I really appreciate the search and calibration tools. They take the friction out of my daily work and just make everything feel simpler. It's a huge help.

Cons

I'm frustrated that the AI copilot costs extra, especially since we bought this platform specifically for its AI features.

Pros

The AI-powered candidate recommendations are a game-changer for me as a recruiter. I love how it suggests relevant jobs to candidates through the career portal. What's smart is how it not only recommends candidates to hiring managers but also suggests keyword updates to match job descriptions better. The ADFS sync is really flexible too. I can integrate it with practically any source application using APIs or flat file injections. As an admin, having both XML and flat file options makes managing data a lot easier.

Cons

The sync mechanism for candidate application prescreening questions and responses between EF and ADFS is missing which creates gaps. Merging duplicate candidates is very awkward and not easy at all. And if you need to move a candidate back to an earlier phase or state, the process is really rigid and doesn't give much flexibility.
