What do you dislike about SmarterSelect?

I wish that I could call to talk to get help, not just chat or email. Especially when I was trying to fix things on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Accessible and Easily Navigated"
5/5
What do you like best about SmarterSelect?

The most helpful part for my team and I, are the report builders. I can use them to easily mail merge and see all of the information I need in one place. I really enjoy SmarterSelect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmarterSelect?

The only least helpful thing is when we send the applications off to the evaluators. For some reason, there is ALWAYS an issue for them. Between logging in and actually getting to what they need, it is difficult for the committee. However, I am not on their end so I don't know how helpful this is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from James Bogroff of SmarterSelect

Thank you for the review and feedback. Glad to hear that the report builder is making an impact for you and your team! Also if you continue to experience challenges with your evaluators accessing the applications, be sure to reach out to our support team. You can reach them at support@smarterselect.com, or via the provided link (submit a ticket). We'd love to help out!

"Functional and scaleable but slightly overpriced and lacking customization"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SmarterSelect?

The application form builder offers all of the options we could ever need (e.g. calculations, dependencies, etc.). The applicant page also provides multiple filters and organization tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SmarterSelect?

We're unable to brand our application forms, and there are certain areas where it is not intuitive. For example, it takes time to figure out how to integrate a calculation into the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automation and capabilities. I love that you can assign things to people, but also create your own customized review process. SmarterSelect is a great tool for tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
