CATS Reviews & Product Details

I do think this is a GREAT tool, the more I navigate around it the more I begin to like it. It is only as good as the users inputting data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No automatic skills to select, you must type in skill section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that CATS is super user friendly. I also like that it's customizable. More recently, we've been using it with our HRIS system and it has been helpful that it integrates so well with that (BambooHR). We also use it to integrate with job postings on our website and it helps to track people who apply to positions. I like that when someone applies, it automatically moves their information into the ATS portion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was the ability to bulk email a little bit easier but it's not a huge issue. Otherwise, there are no dislikes that I have about the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how intuitive and user friendly CATS is. It allows me to see all of my candidates for each job at a glance. I also love how I can email candidates right from the status tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the fact that I can't change the status to the same thing twice in a row on a particular candidate in the workflow. Instead I have to choose a new workflow status and then change it back to leave a new note. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a smaller staffing firm, this perfect ATS. Super intuitive - Zero training needed to get started. Super Powerful too. The workflow automation is fabulous. We have our entire sourcing, recruiting, qualifying, interviewing, hiring and on-boarding process built in to the workflow. My recruiters don't need to use email. They Use CATS. One of my top recruiters, I could never get to use any other ATS (PCR, BullHorn, MaxHire, etc.) and now she only uses CATS and her cell phone. She loves it because we've automated all the emails, scheduling, follow ups, etc. Just flip a switch and your task is done!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting. This is CATS biggest weakness and the only reason I wouldn't recommend it for a bigger firm. It's virtually impossible to pull out recruiter metrics without spending hours each week. Although they have some canned dashboards, there is no customizable performance reports comparing week over week or month over month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For starters, customer service is awesome. I have use this software since 2012, and it keeps getting better and better. It’s very user-friendly and keeps a lot of data at your fingertips. It doesn’t take a lot to get started, and it has a lot of integrations that Connect with my chrome browser for easy data entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting function has a lot to be desired. I personally like to be able to break down into small bits of information to find places for improvement across my team. This really just measures very basic data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With CATS you literally have everything you need for candidate tracking. Is user friendly and very detailed. Apart from the candidate friendly application process, it let's me upload resumes from candidates who show up to our offices without applying online. The easiest part of it all are the metrics. Easy to download reports too, makes my job alot easier so I can concentrate on other tasks. Furthermore, they recently integrated the SMS service, were I can send messages to candidates and keep track of it all in the candidates file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I could suggest is having different language settings. For example, I use this program here in Puerto Rico, many of my coworkers a do not understand English as good as I do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CATS is great for ATS. Low price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the limitations. I have permanent and per diem and contract placements and CATS doesn't meet all of my needs. I have used CATS for many years but left to get a more well rounded ATS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use in the system it is robost without being over engineered! It allows loading from LinkedIn which few tools do! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish when we searched in the candidate files there was a way to load that to a "project" or at minimum page from record to record without having to go back to the list every single time. I don't use the sourcing feature in the tool very often due to the lack of paging item from person to person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the responsiveness of the CATS support team, they're willing to troubleshoot and entertain new suggestions. The ability to customize just about every field and feature available makes the system work very well for us, even between different teams within our organization. The community tips and suggestions are helpful. The CATS extension for importing candidates is also excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could use a facelift, however, it's grown on me as my appreciation of the software has increased. Some of the features are not as intuitive as I would have anticipated, but they're the type of errors that you only make once and never forget. I'd like to be able to use multiple email addresses as I have multiple clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flexibility of the CATS ATS is one of the greatest things I've seen in this industry. The ease of use and adaptability make it number one in my book. The way we are able to track and pull reporting has cut down on back end work for our HR department by a great deal. I can not recommend this program enough to any company that is struggling with little resources or budgeting. It's cheap, easy to use, easy to setup, the people at CATS are fantastic to work with and know their stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used this ATS system for over five months now and and have no dislikes at all. Every time I think there is something missing there is a new roll out and update that takes care of it. By far the greatest tool added to date has been the ability to text within system. I just can't seem to find anything to dislike about it. Even upon polling my team of recruiters they are at a loss to give me negatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of ATS are hard to use and not configurable/very hard to configure. We have build in trigger for almost everything that kicks out emails to those who need to hear from the recruiter. All the triggers are customizable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike is the email signature and how I cant input a picture into my signature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can funnel all your job orders and applications into one spot. Easy to use, search engine yields great results when searching for anything. I like that it's easy to keep track of what you're working on, you can make notes for yourself on candidates for your other employees to see. You can mark off what you're working on and whether or not the candidate moves to the next round. Essentially made it easier for everyone to see what everyone else was working on. Everything is viewable in one spot. We can see how many job postings we have, we can see how many applicants come in, we can see how many we have declined or moved to the next round YOY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a 40 character minimum but I can't say there is much that I dislike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have worked with many ATS- This is the most user friendly one I have used thus far. There are many options for your team to utilize. We could additionally use this for other needs, but haven't established any other needs that we need to use for at this current time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see the option to collapse the status updates, when you copy/paste a message. Or even the option to have different tabs so that it doesn't look as crowded on the main screen, but overall I like the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the text function. Most ATS have the email function. People prefer to be texted rather than called these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it was mandatory to upload a resume when applying. I still get some applicants that do not upload a resume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to customize different aspects.I like the tracking system of applicants and the ability to source them into CATS. I also like the customization dashboard but i dont use that often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is slow and would and like to see more advancements in regards to tracking candidates and adding more notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love CATS and the usability of it. Features are very well thought out and automate a lot for the Recruiters. The new text system is a great addition and makes it that much easier to get in touch with candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am waiting for improvements on CATS reporting features. This is the one down fall of the system, other than that it checks 9 out of 10 boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that you really can set up this system, this ATS, exactly the way you want it. You can add fields, name them whatever you wish, place them where ever you wish, search and report based on that.

Completely Versatile, How can you complain about a system that you can make it do exactly what you want it to do? Great ATS - and trust me I have used them all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, I dislike nothing about CATS, NOTHING! It's perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an easy system to use and the support from the CATS team is great. If I have had an issue, they always work with me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though it is an easy system to use, it does require initial training and the UI can be confusing if you aren't sure what to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's relatively simple to use. It's efficient since it automatically posts to popular job boards. It also allows candidates to apply straight for Indeed creating an easy application process for candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as customized as other ATS. Emails to candidates through the system seem to end up in their junk mail. This leads to missed communication which inst good for the candidate experience. We have multiple companies and it doesn't have the ability to post as our separate companies from one account. We had to create separate accounts for each company which has effected to our efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been some recent updates that have been helpful- such as the SMS capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using tags has not been user friendly from my perspective-- some places it shows the tagged information input into the email-- other places it shows it as the scripted tag info. When sending an email to an applicant I don't get to see what they receive. From my sent history it makes it look like the applicant receives an email attempting to send tags and failing to succeed successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CATS is highly customizable with a robust search function which makes it easy to keep track of the candidate data that is most important to us. The list of job boards that CATS pushes out to is one of the longest lists I have seen in an ATS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
