"Experience with Symphony Talent"

3/5

What do you like best about SFX CRM?

Symphony Talent has its pros and cons. We use their CRM and their team for help with talent recruiting and advertising. I appreciate the guidance their team can provide and how it's helped us recruit more people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SFX CRM?

Their CRM is not user friendly at all and their guidance their team provides is not always helpful. When asking for help or modifications it's a constant struggle to get help and answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User friendly & very helpful"

5/5

What do you like best about SFX CRM?

Posting jobs is pretty straight-forward. We can post multiple jobs in just a few clicks. It makes the life of a sourcer or a recruiter very easy as to we can concentrate on hiring more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SFX CRM?

I have used SmashFlyX for a limited period of time and that was only for job postings and media management for various of our in-house vendors or clients. I do not have any dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Long Time SmashFly User"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SFX CRM?

What problems is SFX CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have moved toward a Shared Services model and recruit for multiple facilities. This has helped us bring SEO and recruitment marketing to all of our facilities, ultimately generating more applicants across the system and giving all applicants the same applicant experience regardless of which facility they are applying to.

"Smashfly"

2.5/5

What do you like best about SFX CRM?

I don’t know. They have a new marketing campaign platform that isn’t much better than their old one. Our rep is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SFX CRM?

Oh boy. We seem to have issues pop up with the system often. Tracking links aren’t working for us. The analytics are really slow to load and sometimes not terribly intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SFX CRM:

Sigh. We’ve had smashfly as a vendor for several years and I will say their product support has gotten better, but that’s primarily because we have a great rep on our account. I do think their partnership with Symphony Talent will be a positive change. I’m not sure if we have an old platform, but sometimes the system is clunky. We also have a terrible ATS that doesn’t help issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SFX CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

It’s our recruitment CRM and allows us to capture data for our candidate pool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smashfly Review"

2.5/5

What do you like best about SFX CRM?

Great place to house candidates that have been previously sourced, screened, & qualified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SFX CRM?

I feel that it could be a little more logical in the layout/design & search. I get discouraged when I get in to search for candidates & get poor results based on my search criteria. I have been using CRMs for ~20 years & have found that the logic is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Online candidate tracking system"

2.5/5

What do you like best about SFX CRM?

I did like the searching functionality of the program. It made it easy to search and track candidates that were in the process. It was also easy to track each step the candidate was making, for reporting purposes to management. The resume parsing made short work of adding candidates to the data base, pretty intuitive system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SFX CRM?

If I remember correctly, It did not do the greatest at alerting you of duplicate candidates. There were often times of duplicated efforts and candidates being reached out to more than once by different recruiters. At the time, I was seeking high profile individuals, so it would make us look bad as an organization if multiple people from the same office were reaching out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SFX CRM:

I think it is a create CRM, I think what I disliked about the program is that I was using it in conjunction with another platform. I am not sure that SmashFly has onboarding functionality. If it does, I would make sure to test that feature before proceeding. It made it annoying at best to have to onboard in a separate system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
