## Candidately Reviews
  ### 1. Highly Recommend Candidately

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Samuel C. | North America, Executive Headhunter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Candidately?**

Candidately is extremely user friendly, on both sides. It is easy to navigate and makes life a lot easier for receiving feedback and scheduling interviews. Would highly reccomend.

**What do you dislike about Candidately?**

I would like to be able to send emails to clients on a time scale of my choice to remind clients automatically, this would save me time in doing it again if they dont review.

**What problems is Candidately solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This is helping me be much more organized with the candidates I am sending over as they are all in one place with a list that can be updated as required. This also helps when providing detailed feeback to candidtaes

  ### 2. Innovative platform saves time and increases efficiency

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dani C. | Senior Talent Acquisitions, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Candidately?**

I like the easy-to-access platform. It is simple to upload resumes for clients to review, and the auto-population of skills is a time saver! I also find it useful that you can configure the list settings individually so that you can cater to the viewers needs on an individual basis. The Candidate.ly team takes feedback seriously, and are incredibly responsive during all phases of use.

**What do you dislike about Candidately?**

There is nothing that I dislike about this platform.

**What problems is Candidately solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This platform eases the back and forth of emails when collaborating. The feedback is in one centralized location so that the whole team can view and read the notes.

  ### 3. Candidately Makes My Job Easier!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Candidately?**

I love how you can see when hiring managers look at the Candidately files, sometimes less than a minute after you send them an invite! Candidately is making my job easier by laying out each candidate's info. in a clean format and keeping them all in the same group. Thank you Candidately!

**What do you dislike about Candidately?**

It would be great to be able to reinvite multiple hiring managers. When you reinvite, it only grabs one hiring manager. When you have multiple, you have to cut and paste each one in. It would also be great to have Candidately remember emails that you've entered.

**What problems is Candidately solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to see when hiring managers view candidate files. When we see that there are zero views, the hiring manager may need to be reminded.

  ### 4. it has been great

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jaden R. | Senior Recruitment Consultant - North America, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Candidately?**

What was most helpful was being able to communicate with the client about the profile right on Candidately's portal, it made communication quick and easy.!!!!!!

**What do you dislike about Candidately?**

The only downside I had with Candidately is that some of my existing clients are reluctant to use it, but that isn't much to do with the program itself.!!!!!!!!

**Recommendations to others considering Candidately:**

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to streamline their candidate/client process.

**What problems is Candidately solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The program is helping with quick and easy communication with clients, making for quicker and easier deals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**What do you like best about Candidately?**

The ease of use on the platform is brilliant, it's simple and effective. Getting feedback in real-time and promoted, where appropriate, is incredibly handy.

It could be a problem on my end but, on occasion, there has been some lag when loading.

It's not just another tool!

As feedback can be given on platform, we don't have to chase hiring managers / TAs as much as we would have had to previously.

Nothing, the team at Gustav is always changing the product to work more efficiently with our company.

Being able to see the client's activity when viewing a candidate's CV. The feature that also allows the client to directly message me with feedback, saving a lot of time in the process

**What do you dislike about Candidately?**

It would be nice to be able to see when I have uploaded the cv/link to the system. Also making it more user-friendly from a client's point of view, maybe this something that has already been addressed.

**What problems is Candidately solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Candidately has sped up client feedback and response time when viewing a potential candidate's cv.  Again the in-app messaging has helped with the client's repsonses.

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Candidately?**

General aesthetics of UI with functionality being just as easy.  The team are also super attentive.

**What do you dislike about Candidately?**

Have to really reach for something here, but if I had to say something it would be some features that are slightly 'obvious' aren't there yet.  However, this is a fair trade when investing in a forward thinking product.

**What problems is Candidately solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This question isn't the most relevant to us as we have purchased Calendly to replace some of our own technology.  However, it vastly improves the user take-up and customer interaction due to it's ease of use.

  ### 10. Great Candidate Marketing Tool!

So far, I haven't found anything to dislike about Candidately.

Our clients are able to see all their candidates in one place, allowing them to compare and contrast the resumes, instead of them having to compare notes through multiple emails.
