"Enabled us to shorten recruitment timeframes"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Checkmate?

Checkmate has enabled MIT to enhance the candidate experience while giving back our Talent Team valuable time. The tool is customisable to our needs and brand, really appreciate the flexibility of logic flow and question types. The platform is easy to use. The fraud detection tool is helpful. The Checkmate team is helpful and responsive. The tool has resulted in us shortening our recruitment timeframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkmate?

We had a few speedbumps during the integration process, this delayed our ability to get up and running. However, we got there in the end! Would be good to be able to add one-off questions to logic-flow templates, without needing to have the Checkmate team set this up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome product that's easy to use, customizable and well supported!"
5/5
What do you like best about Checkmate?

The level of customization and usability within Checkmate means that you can customise the platform to fit the needs of your organisation best. It also allowed us at Vodafone New Zealand to create a more engaging candidate experience at the reference checking stage of our process, utilising a greater degree of branded messaging touchpoints to help strengthen the overall candidate journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkmate?

So far, having used Checkmate for the past year, we've yet to encounter any real pain points with the platform and if anything it's been a resounding success, particularly when compared with previous platforms that we used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
