## Lightcast Reviews
  ### 1. Great tool for directional decision-making

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Allison Lorraine S. | Marketing Data Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2023

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

Lightcast has grown impressively year-over-year in my opinion. Their content continues to grow in volume & in its relevancy/timeliness. Their Knowledge Base is the most thorough and easy to comprehend resource of any database I've used - it clearly defines their methodology, terminology, etc. for each bit of data they report. Additionally, their customer support has always had quick response times and is incredibly knowledgeable whenever I've had questions about content.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

Lightcast relies heavily on BLS data for it's wage curves & talent supply by compensation reports which can drastically skew the reports towards outdated data. Their advertised wage reports are immensly helpful for current competitive wages, but I wish the advertised wages were (more heavily) factored into their regular wage reports.

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

Overall, Lightcast helps our organization stay competitive in the variety of markets in which we operate. It gives us the ability to...
- Assess the recruiting activity of competitive employers
- Vet pay ranges by job/skills & geography
- Geo-target pockets of skilled talent
- Make decisions regarding compensation (packages, increases, etc.)

  ### 2. Lightcast has proven to be one of our most valued business partners

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim W. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2023

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

The data within Lightcast has been instrumental in our success.  It has allowed us to bring more value added services to our clients.  The information contained within the platform has give our business development team far more confidence with solving customer problems.  The product has also allowed us to make informed decsions when entering new markets and has prevented us from making mistakes on items we may have speculated on in the past.  The system is very straight forward and easy to use.  The support from the Lightcast team still continues to impress me.  They are with you in lock step and always available to my team to answer questions.  They have taken time to help our team frame the information correctly when in the field and consulting with clients.  For anyone that is looking at leveraging "Big Data" this is the ONLY product I would reccommend.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

To date I have not expierenced any downside with this system.  It has delivered all that was promised.

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

Lightcast has given us the ability to educate our clients and increase margins in a time where pricing pressures are at an all time high.  It has also allowed us to have more confidence in our very aggresive organic growth strategy.  It is my opinion that our recent appearence on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies in America would not have been possible without Lightcast.

  ### 3. Good Data But Could Use Some Improvements

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Madeline P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2023

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

Lightcast is helpful when it comes to accurate diversity and location-based data. My clients appreciate that I am able to show them YoY doversity data in key market areas.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

While the data is good the SOC code system is often flawed. When I am working with hyper specific job postings even adding filters often doesn't produce the talent pool I am looking for. Although I enjoy the data I often have to advice against it as I don't feel that it is accurate enough for a specific ask.

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

Lightcast is able to give me diversity and job posting data that I am otherwise unable to get on other platforms. I like knowing that this data came from reliable sources.

  ### 4. Outstanding data curation for talent attraction strategies

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Celine N. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

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

Lightcast is my complete go to for all things talent strategy. From census and BLS data to job posting and social profile data, anything you need to great a thoughtful and fact filled strategy is at your fingertips. The services and training team has also been very helpful. I'm using Lightcast almost daily.

At first it is a little tough to understand which reports to pull but once you get it down, it becomes very easy and repeatable.

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

Data is impertive in selling talent attraction strategies. Lightcast helps me gather everthing I need to wrap my head around what is needed to find specific talent, what marketing to use, in that MSA.

  ### 5. Workforce planning, Recruitment, Hiring

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lia-Marie M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2023

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

I love the reports you can run to share with leadership or C-suite leaders to make the most informed decision based on the budget.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

We are a non-profit and it's hard to gauge what numbers best fits our range since we can't be compared to for-profits like Amazon or Microsoft. Nonprofit advocacy spaces are a different niche.

It is supporting my reasoning for increasing salary bands to ensure we are competative n the market and able to retain top talent.

  ### 6. Data I need in one place helps me find better qualified candidates

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2023

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

I like how Lighcast has government data all in one place and can run attractive, easy to read reports that mean you don't have to go searching or reorganizing data in Excel for presentations. It recently helped me build a candidate persona that helps recruiters understand where to find candidates, understand their demographic breakdown, and find people candidates with the right skills for the roles. Customer service was also great in how they brokedown what each report showed and spoke to how we could use it specifically for the open roles and customers we have.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

It would be great to have more marketing tools built-in, like an add-on marketing suite. It would also be nice if it could call out more relative markers for hiring, such as LinkedIn Talent Insights "hidden gem locations."

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

Lightcast gives us the insight we need to find qualified candidates with the right skills. It tells us where to look and what to look for. We combine that with our marketing expertise to better attract candidates.

  ### 7. Informative Product

I like how easy the product is to use. The platform is very intuitive and informative. It really does help our users see where the market is.

I do wish for the ability to search by zip code for some of our larger markets.

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

Helping our Candidates see what the market is paying, and helping our Clients see where they need to be in order to attract the talent they are looking for.

There's not much I dislike, I just wish there was more! More data, more reports, more customization.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Buchi E. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2023

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

I like the massive stores of data Lightcast boasts on its systems. This makes it easy for me to provide my account executive with multiple use cases to drill down on our current issues.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

Some of the reporting is not as intuitive or user friendly in my opinion, but whenever I had these questions my representative was more than capable of bringing me to a resolution.

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

Lightcast is solving our problem of aggregating wage data at the regional level. Not only does it contain the requested information but the tool is also able to get to a granular level of detail that can influence decision making.

  ### 10. Strategic data partnership with fantastic support and engagement

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim J. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2023

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

Lightcast has a very strong and reliable data platform and top-notch customer support and enablement teams.  Since the very beginning of our relationship, we have had a partner that we could rely on and trust.  The data products they produce are of high quality and when we identify an issue they are quick to own and remediate.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

We struggle to get some of the depth of data we need in some countries to grow our business and advise our customers.  The product capabilities in North America are very strong and after leveraging them you want to see that type of depth everywhere.  Data in some areas of the world is not reliable which makes it difficult to support.  In addition, Lightcast is very responsible with their data quality standards...therefore we are sometimes left with a gap in coverage that is difficult to support.

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

We leverage Lightcast to give our client delivery teams data and insights needed to advise our clients about labor economic conditions that impact the acquisition of talent.

Ease of use when searching for Occupation and Compensation data.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

There is nothing that I have found that would make me dislike this platform.

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

I use the compensation analysis tool on a weekly basis to be more of an advisor than a salesperson during appointments. I also use the Occupation Snapshot and Job Competition tools to show prosects what they are going up against when using internal hiring resources.

  ### 12. Two thumbs up!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lennox R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

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

The quality and quantity of information available!  The reports are wonderful, and I love how customizable they are.

No pain points, really.  The menus can be confusing for the un-trained user, but easy enough after walking through a live demo.

It is saving us a ton of time on compensation analysis for existing employees and when posting roles.

Lightcast is very easy to use.  The design is clear and makes sense. I love how fast it returns the data as well, and how you can easily adjust on the fly to fine tune and get exactly what you want. Support has also been wonderful as our Account Manager is very responsive, and always makes time to answer our questions or hop on a training session.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

Some of the data points are harder to understand and explain to business partners who do not have data backgrounds. It would be great to see a more relatable explanation.

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

Lightcast puts instant market data at our fingertips so that we can go into client recruitment intake meetings able to give a true picture of the market. We use it to explain the competition to the client, help us set salary expectations, help determine appropriate market titles for the jobs, and explain supply in relation to demand. We also use it for passive sourcing, to get insight into what companies talent may work at, what titles they go by, and where they live. it has been an all around great tool for us, and positioning us as the subject matter experts to clients.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eddie B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2023

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

Many upsides to working with Lightcast.
1- Partnership- willingness to educate the client/users, to respond to feedback, to enhance products + services from that feedback and from user experiences and end products.
2- Quality- the commitment to excellence is real. mistakes are cleaned up quickly and explained while products are stable, well-supported, amply documented, and evolved with improving data quality and availability. 
3- Transparency- updates are communicated whether in web or Snowflake,API, etc. Known issues/concerns about data and metrics are shared in understandable language. 
4- Technology acumen- it is real and evident in how the product(s) continue evolving, getting to finer, more actionable grains and with better accessibility either as visuals or new data tables.
5- All-encompassing. There is no corner of the labor market and its pieces (education, demographics, industry, occupation, skills, geography)  Lightcast doesn't have data on or report analysis of for use.

**What do you dislike about Lightcast?**

They could take more risks in their data- experiment with new models/metrics that are sub-national or break the 'grain' of NAICS industry, SOC, etc. This is partly because of their supreme commitment to quality and reliability- they are loathe to introduce things that might not work out.

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

Creating market baselines and benchmarks in geographies, skill sets, and industries. Deploying those in research and analytics products that include dashboards, interactive analysis products and executive briefings.
