Hi fellow Sifter! I'm sorry to read that you're having a hard time searching for people within your organization. I'm not 100% familiar with your company's acronym or what TMC members are. We'd love to learn more to better assist you, your team, and your organization. Please reach out to support@justsift.com so we can connect and find a way to better surface Sift within your Intranet too!

"Sift makes work easier when I need a question answered and I'm not sure who to go to with a key word"
5/5
What do you like best about Sift?

Sift is a fun way to search people, hobbies, interests, and even ways that I’ve used to find someone to get answers for questions I have or help me with projects. It’s super simple, yet it has lots of information easily assessable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

I would still say the org chart, maybe add an option to expand all and close all? It gets a bit crowded and sometimes you just have to start fresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"UI not completely intuitive"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Sift?

I really like that you can open a colleague's Directory Card from the org chart by clicking on their image, *and* that it will open in a new tab. Some really cool features are having the employee's name pronunciation, time zone and local time at the top of their page too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

When searching a colleague, if you select their Org Chart, there is no way to return to their Sift entry without clicking the browser back button, so this is not intuitive. It would also be a nice feature if we could change the banner image at the top of our Directory Card Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyssa Burgol of Sift

Hi Bex! I'm happy to hear Sift is helping you connect during a time of growth and there's new faces at the workplace!

The banner image at the top of your profile can be changed, but your company admins might have turned this feature off. You can reach out to them through the Support form in the three-dot menu on the nav bar to learn more and see if this can be used again.

As for the UX of a Search result to the Org Chart, we had opted to have the profile pop-up in another tab. While it's a little frustrating to go back to the Search results page by using the native browser buttons, you can click the search bar in the nav bar to see your most recent searched item, but it won't have saved any filters you might have applied.

I've shared your feedback with my product team and if you have any other suggestions, they'd love to hear from you at feedback@justsift.com.

Happy Sifting!
