“TR Feedback”

Pros

I enjoy the organic applicant flow and value all the partnerships TalentReef has with other software companies.

Cons

The workflow for getting applicants into the portal has been problematic. We have had numerous issues with onboarding paperwork which should be the easiest part of TalentReef. Sometimes, profiles won't pull up with the applicants phone or email, forcing them to reapply which means they have to redo the WOTC and get another background check link.
