Most Helpful Favorable Review
Leon W.
Administrator in Construction

User in Health, Wellness and Fitness
I like that it's easy to use and that you can customize questions to get the responses you are specifically looking for
Most Helpful Critical Review
Rene R.
User in Government Relations
The system does not have an applicant status that are required by stages to go through. you can skip through the status rather than having to go through each step
User in Staffing and Recruiting
I have no ability to differentiate between customers in the phone interview stage vs face to face interview stage
