"Good Experience"
4/5
What do you like best about Sift?

Ease of Use, shows connections to your team, and easy to search other teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

I'm unsure if I should add my company experience, whether it will be something I can transfer over when I move to a new company, or whether it is searchable by HR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyssa Burgol of Sift

Hi Aïda! We're happy to hear that you're making connections and finding the teams you need.

As for adding in your company experience and if that data gets transferred over once you leave for a new company, the data in your company's Sift instance is only accessible by your current employer. Adding in your experience for your current company or even past employers, whether it be promotions or if you move departments, is beneficial for others to be able to find you. You never know when your expertise from a previous role could help out a colleague!

Happy Sifting!

"Best Networking Tool I've Ever Used"
5/5
What do you like best about Sift?

I have been in my company for 5 years and am looking at shifting careers within the organization. Sift has helped me incredibly in learning about various divisions, team members, and overall networking. I can use it to find a team member and reach out to schedule a shadow session to learn more about their role. It's easy to find others with similar interests to me with the search function. Previously, I used it maybe 3x a week to confirm roles within the organization as I saw a name in our programs, and now I'm using it at least once, sometimes twice a day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

It's difficult for me to pinpoint anything that I truly dislike about Sift. One thing that has recently been a challenge for me is that when a search is "highlighting" the same terms I used, it's almost invisible on the page. I'm sure that once I reach out to Support about it, they'll review the issue and will work to make it better. Sometimes when viewing the Org Chart, it's so expansive that I have trouble keeping up. It just takes a few click and drags to get me back to where I was looking. It's laid out well - might be just user error, haha. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hyper efficient tool to that help skyrocket your internal communication and collaboration."
5/5
What do you like best about Sift?

I am a recruiter, so it helps me learn about our leaders or team members more. It helps me find answers/the right people to get me the right information at a much faster clip. I love that it shares contact info and is like an internal bio of team members. Its can be used for so many applications. -Org Charts -team Structure - Career Frame Work - Getting to know your business as a new hire - Internal Communication - recruiting and sourcing internal team members for opportunities they don't think to apply for So easy to use, the functionality is so self-taught. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

There is nothing I dislike, it's more so "I wish" it did this or that. Like I wish it plugged into other systems we had, like headcount or open seats on a team for tracking. I would if it could integrate with our ATS or become an ATS for talent communities. I think it could become a stronger networking tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UI & UX are very thoughtful and make using the platform to connect with others and navigate a company workforce really easy. They're spot on with the balance of function and personal touch. Reaching out for support is easy and it's been great to watch the platform continue to evolve over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

Would love to see the ability for users to add their own categories/features to their profile as needed. Maybe a swatch of options that users can pick from while editing (more options than exist today)? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
