Cinode Reviews & Product Details

No More Translation Debacles! We all know the struggle of trying to translate specific Swedish roles and industry terms into English without them sounding awkward or losing their professional edge. I’ve honestly been putting off updating my English profile for that very reason.

However, Cinode’s AI support made the process incredibly seamless. It actually understands the context, captures the right nuances, and saves a massive amount of mental energy. Five stars for taking one of the most tedious tasks of consultant life and making it quick and painless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The 'skill boxes' at the end of the CV are truly impressive—they look sharp, professional, and give a great overview of my expertise. However, managing the skill database itself is currently quite a headache.

It’s a struggle to keep track of duplicates and nearly identical terms that tend to clutter the list. Furthermore, when generating an English CV, it’s far too tedious to filter out residual Swedish terms. It would be a huge improvement if the system could help merge synonyms and ensure a 100% clean language transition. Great tool overall, but the skill management side needs a bit more love!

I find Cinode to be an invaluable tool for our consulting business due to its comprehensive capabilities that align seamlessly with our needs. One of the standout features is its ability to connect consultants to the right assignments swiftly, significantly reducing the time from lead to deal. This efficiency has lessened the administrative burden on our sales and matching employees, allowing for a more streamlined process. The search functionality is particularly crucial, as it enables us to promptly identify consultants with the specific skills required for assignments, giving us a competitive edge in sealing deals quickly. Additionally, Cinode makes it effortless for consultants to keep their profiles up-to-date, which ensures that the sales team has access to the latest information regarding their skills and experiences. The utility of Cinode in matching skills, availability, and business opportunities cannot be overstated, as it improves the efficiency of matching consultants to assignments and reduces bench time, thus enhancing our operational productivity.

I find Cinode to be a great tool for handling complex CV requirements, and I'm impressed with its ability to create tailored versions while maintaining a clear overview. I like that it does a lot without feeling confusing, and I guess it's fast too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it's not the prettiest designed website. It took a long time to set up, but that might have been because we have so many employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cinode offers several features I truly value, but I'd like to highlight e few in particular.

#1 – Competence Management and Consultant Profiles

At the heart of Cinode is the Skills module, which makes it incredibly fast and easy—in my role as a salesperson—to find the right consultants based on specific project requirements. Creating client-tailored CVs is also extremely efficient: I can simply toggle assignments on and off in the consultant’s profile to match the customer's needs. AI-powered features further enhance this by helping improve descriptions and automatically identifying key skills from assignment texts. Everyday tool for Account Managers and Consultatn Managers.

#2 – Consistent and High-Quality Business Data

When opportunities, roles, and assignments are managed in a single, shared system, it drives accountability across the organization. Sales leadership, account managers, consultant managers, and consultants all contribute to keeping the information accurate—because everything is interconnected. As a result, stakeholders like the CFO, CEO, or HR can easily access relevant insights without needing extra reports or exports. The health of the business becomes visible in real time.

#3 - Easy to implement, use and good support.

Cloud implementation is super easy, compared to on prem. Also very easy to use. Excellent Support. Cindra, their AI support, i fast and very good on giving support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A Few Areas Where I'm Looking Forward to Improvements

The CRM area.

We've transitioned from using two separate CRM systems (Frontit and our subsidiary Prové) to a unified solution. The clear benefit is having a consistent flow from business opportunities to consultant assignments. However, from a salesperson’s perspective, there are still some features typically expected from a CRM that are currently missing or limited.

Examples include:

* Support for Customer Group Hierarchies

* The ability to configure custom fields

* Data management tools for maintaining clean customer records (e.g. merging duplicate companies, reassigning contacts)

* Flexible configuration of the customer card (e.g. which fields are mandatory or optional)

That said, the advantages of having everything in one system far outweigh the limitations, and I’m optimistic about future improvements in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
