"Powerful Scheduling Tool with Excellent Candidate Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

There are many things we like about Candidate.fyi, but the biggest is its flexibility. Our team schedules everything from simple 1:1 interviews in the same time zone to complex, multi-region interview loops with different interview types on the same requisition, and Candidate.fyi has been able to support all of it seamlessly.

The platform is also very intuitive. While some tools take weeks or even months to fully learn, our team was able to get up and running in just a few days.

We also appreciate that Candidate.fyi goes beyond interview scheduling. It’s really focused on the full candidate experience, and now even the hiring manager and interviewer experience, with features like hiring manager satisfaction surveys, the interview intelligence notetaker, and more. They continue to ship new products and features that are genuinely useful and easy for our team to adopt, even for those who aren’t especially technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

Nothing specific comes to mind - we’ve had a great experience with Candidate.fyi overall. Our only regret is that we didn’t make the move sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Interview Processes with Exceptional Support"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

I find candidate.fyi incredibly easy to navigate, use, and customize as needed. It's great that the platform allows candidates to self-schedule interviews, which saves our team valuable time that can be spent on recruiting efforts. The customizable nature of the platform allows us to set it up efficiently to meet our needs and work best with our hiring processes, providing a great experience for candidates. The candidate portal helps us build our brand with candidates, and the pulse surveys allow us to gather feedback from candidates and hiring managers to improve our processes. The candidate.fyi team has been incredible partners, offering strong recommendations and quick technical support. Their openness to feedback on product or feature improvements is a big plus, as they quickly roll out updates based on our requests and seem to stay ahead of market trends. The initial setup was very easy, thanks to the great support provided by the candidate.fyi team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

There really haven't been many negatives. Some ATS platforms are not engineered in a way to easily connect with and interface with a product like candidate.fyi, but that isn't their fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Optimizes Hiring & Elevates Candidate Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

I love the candidate.fyi dashboard because it lets me see all the interviews I have scheduled, what I need to schedule, and what's pending a candidate's response. It's great to have that visibility into the pipeline, so I can visualize where people are at any time. Another thing I love is the candidate portal, particularly how customizable it is. Making it look and feel like something our company would send out really helps our interview process stand out compared to other companies. The customer service and support are top-tier, and they are exceptional at understanding our needs and ensuring we get the most out of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

Because candidate.fyi has changed its interface a few times, it has been a pain point for our team. I would love it if they could find an interface that worked well and keep it like that for a bit; or give you the option to use a legacy version, where you could gradually move into the new interface.

"Streamlined Scheduling with Responsive Support"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

I appreciate that candidate.fyi streamlines the scheduling process significantly, making it easier for our TA team to handle high volume roles. The 'Schedule Now' feature, which was a recent release, has a promising impact on our recruitment process. I particularly enjoy the feature where scheduling can be done directly from an extension, simplifying the process for recruiters at various stages, whether they are using the self-schedule feature or not. I also admire how candidate.fyi is constantly changing and updating its features. Their openness to collaboration and listening to client needs is commendable, as it helps tailor the tool to better serve TA teams. The fact that candidate.fyi is highly adaptable to feedback and continuously evolves to enhance its capabilities is a big plus for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

I think candidate.fyi could improve by implementing a general round creation feature at the beginning of the implementation process. This would provide companies a foundation to work with, allowing them to decide what round creation would look like moving forward. Additionally, while not an issue caused directly by candidate.fyi, the initial setup was challenging due to a change in management and leadership, leading to lack of dedicated leadership for implementation.

"Best candidate experience tool I've ever used!"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

Candidate.fyi has changed our candidate experience game. It allows us to get curated EVP , 'Life At' & interview prep content directly to candidates, which keeps them both engaged and fully informed of what it means to work at Nintex at every interview stage. It helps TA by ensuring candidates have information and a clear interview path without manually sending over all the information via email. I also like that candidates can meet their interviewers before every interview and learn more about them. The pulse score data we receive is also useful as we can keep a real, live pulse on how interviews are performing and which stages/roles may be falling down in terms of candidate experience.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

There isn't a downside that I can think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Candidate.FYI is changing the game for candidate experience"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

The platform is very user-friendly when it comes to setting up scheduling rounds. I appreciate the candidate portals, which provide clear insight into what to expect during the interview process. Receiving real-time feedback from candidates as they move through the process is also a valuable feature. Additionally, I have experienced zero downtime and found the customer support to be excellent. Integration with other systems is straightforward and hassle-free.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

Nothing else compares. Candidate.fyi is easily the best scheduling tool I have ever used. The added portal and feedback features also provide an unmatched experience for candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We Absolutely Love candidate.fyi!"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

I have thoroughly enjoyed both working in the candidate.fyi platform and partnering with their incredible team. From day one, their hands-on and thoughtful implementation process stood out—it was one of the smoothest, most supportive onboarding experiences I’ve ever had. Their team continues to be highly engaged and responsive, making them a true partner rather than just a vendor.

The tool itself is intuitive, beautifully designed, and incredibly easy to use for both candidates and internal recruiting teams. Their attention to detail is unmatched; they’ve curated every part of the platform to create an ideal experience for every user. We’ve received amazing feedback from candidates about their experience with the portal—it has completely elevated our recruiting process and has been a game-changer for us.

One of the features we love most is their powerful pulse engine for candidate feedback. We’re seeing response rates above 50%—a massive leap from what we’ve seen with other tools. This has given our team invaluable insights and allowed us to continuously improve the candidate experience.

We also really value that candidate.fyi is a growing, innovative company that moves quickly and adapts to their customers’ needs. Their combination of an outstanding product and world-class support has made them an easy choice for us, and we could not be happier with our decision.

If you want a scheduling tool that truly transforms the candidate experience and comes with a team that feels like an extension of your own, look no further than candidate.fyi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A refreshing and scalable way to approach candidate experience"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

Candidate.fyi have innovated the candidate experience and scheduling space pretty seamlessly. Before, there was no easy way for candidates to visualize their entire hiring journey, see who they would meet, and for Talent teams to consolidate all hiring resources into a central hub. The portals have allowed our teams to capture real-time feedback that helps our teams know what’s working and what needs to improve. Without these insights, it would have been really difficult to know. Our response and engagement rates improved dramatically in a very short time. We saw the data speak for itself in terms of impact. Their scheduling product has also been a game-changer in automating the complex scheduling workflows our team handles. It’s simple, saves time, works effectively, and keeps improving, which our team highly appreciates. Working with the candidate.fyi team has been fantastic. They are serious, product-first, listen to the end user’s perspective, and truly partner with companies that are deeply committed to technology innovation, scale and next generation candidate experience, from onboarding through to implementation. It’s been a pleasure working with candidate.fyi, and can recommend them if you're on the lookout for a solid scheduling and CX platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unclogging TA"
4/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

Candidate.fyi played a helpful role in elevating the candidate experience at Thrive Market during a time of rapid scaling and increased hiring volume. The platform provided a centralized and polished hub where candidates could easily access interview logistics, prep materials, and company information. This reduced back-and-forth communication and empowered candidates to feel more confident and informed going into interviews.

Key benefits included:

Streamlined Interview Logistics: Automatically generated candidate portals helped ensure consistent communication across all interview stages.

Enhanced Candidate Experience: Personalized landing pages reflected Thrive Market’s brand and mission, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and care.

Reduced Coordinator Workload: By automating candidate communication touchpoints, Candidate.fyi allowed our Recruiting Coordination team to focus more on white-glove support and high-priority tasks.

Data Visibility: The tool offered insights into candidate engagement with interview materials, giving recruiters a better sense of preparedness and interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

Manual Setup Process: Portal creation was largely manual, requiring significant effort per candidate, which offset time savings.

Slow Time to Value: Given the operational overhead and competing priorities, we weren’t able to dedicate the bandwidth required to fully realize the tool’s ROI.

Not Scalable for Our Team Structure: Without automation or deeper integration with our ATS, it became difficult to justify the time investment required to maintain it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
