Tribepad Gro makes it quick and straightforward to advertise roles and open a job on our website, which is something we really wanted to streamline. We also like that we can use different brand logos on the same website. The free Indeed posting is easy to use and brings in responses, and the CV-Library URL integration runs without any issues. Adding candidates to a job from Talent Search is simple, and booking interviews is very easy. Being able to send offer letters directly from the system has been really helpful, and the offer authorisation process feels smooth. We also find the included careers website useful, and we like the design tools that come with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tribepad Gro often feels like a cut-down version of the main Tribepad system. The price is similar to platforms that offer more, such as Talos360, but there are many extra costs on top, including for two-way email. As standard, SMS and email are one-way only, so candidates often can’t reply to us.

Several everyday processes are rigid. We can’t stop advertising a job while we’re still progressing candidates on it. Moving candidates between jobs sends them a lot of automated messages. We also can’t move a candidate to the interview stage without sending a booking confirmation, even when the hiring manager has already booked them directly. The source can’t be edited once a candidate has been added. When we send interview invites to hiring managers, Outlook gives them several emails per booking, so we now send their invites separately.

Offer letters cause friction too. We can’t edit the wording about contracts, even though we issue contracts on the first day. Some candidates can’t open their offer letter in certain browsers. To edit or approve an offer, we can’t go through the candidate profile. Instead we have to go into the job, then the candidate, then the offer, which is slow and clunky.

Reporting is also hard to use, with no simple dashboard that gives us what we need. And while the CV-Library integration works, we see candidates drop off along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate and user-friendly for managers. The onboarding side works well for managing contracts and onboarding forms. I also like the ability to build within the platform and make changes as needed, so it can adapt to our processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firstly, we’ve had a lot of issues with the platform speed. This is still being investigated to understand whether it’s a Tribepad issue or an internal issue.

When we look to set up an integration that isn’t already available (for example, an assessment provider), it’s expensive and takes a lot of work to implement. As a result, we’ve decided against a number of integrations, which means we have to use two platforms/two accounts for candidates.

There’s also no way to merge duplicate candidates. This makes it confusing for both the candidate and us when we’re trying to work out which roles they’ve applied for, or which email address to use for contracts, etc.

It’s not always user-friendly to move candidates around the system, or to bulk-apply candidates to another role. This can quickly become a very time-consuming process.

We don’t use the job templates, which means there’s no way to standardise or lock down the application requirements or questionnaires. Therefore, I have to update these manually for every role that’s added. From what I’ve seen on the new platform, the blueprints could work well for this.

Finally, Insights is a good idea and it’s great that you can report on almost anything, but it isn’t the most user-friendly reporting platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For our organisation, the most valuable aspect of using Tribepad has been its onboarding functionality. Because we work in a regulated environment, we’re required to collect a substantial amount of information during onboarding, and Tribepad has helped us streamline that process whist also integrating with external vetting suppliers.

There are a couple of areas in the system where we’ve already shared feedback, and I’m hoping to see improvements in the next iteration of the platform. In particular, I’d like to see updates to the date-gap functionality as well as the built-in referencing functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Tribepad makes recruitment easier and more organised. I can manage applications in one place, track candidates through the hiring process and communicate with them effectively. It reduces manual admin and saves time, and it creates a smoother experience for candidates. I also like that it isn’t complicated to use, is user-friendly and easy to navigate, and works well for collaborating with hiring managers. The initial setup was good, and I find the customer support team quite good, including partners like Sally from the Tribepad team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some tasks still take a few clicks to get to, and setting up team interviews is a bit tedious when I’m juggling multiple slots and candidates. It takes many clicks and repetition. When there are lots of CVs for one role, the filter options are very limited; I’d like more ways to filter candidates, such as by university. Tribepad has a lot of data, but it isn’t easy to understand the Insights tool or create customized reports, so more automation and a better understanding of the tool would help.

They have a small team of Tribepad experts that know the platform inside and out. There's no layers of bureaucracy to get through to get an answer, everyone working there genuinely cares about the product, you can tell. Additionally I like how flexible the platform is, you can basically achieve almost any workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is clearly in need of an update to bring all the new features together, but this is being released in a few months as Tribepad 2.0 anyway so this will be addressed. Outside of that, despite flexibility being a core benefit of the platform, sometimes that flexibility means that things that you're trying to achieve can get in the way of each other, or have invisible barriers as to why you can't achieve a certain goal. In places it can be convoluted if you're not experienced with the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can move a candidate easily from one place to another, which makes the recruitment process clear, concise, and understandable from beginning to end. Tribepad also lets us keep most of our processes in one place instead of using multiple programs and websites, making the process seamless for recruiters, onboarders, and candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Tribepad quite rigid. Making changes feels scary because I worry that moving or changing one small thing could break other parts of the process. It’s also hard to find where to make changes, and where things sit doesn’t quite make sense to me. Setup took much longer than I expected, and we ran into problems when what we were told Tribepad could do didn’t match how it worked in practice. Some things needed workarounds or didn’t work the way we were told they would. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now that I understand it, I find it easy to use and navigate for the most part, at least until it runs into bugs or other issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels clunky, and I have to click a lot just to get anywhere. It also keeps throwing background errors that aren’t resolved quickly. Overall, I wouldn’t call it “user-friendly.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Tribepad for recruitment and really like the ease of using it. I also appreciate the document library and the ability to sync with our payroll provider. The speed of posting roles is impressive. Additionally, I found the initial setup supportive, and though it was long-winded, once completed, it was beautiful. I also found the good price point appealing as it synced well with our preferred payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes encounter a glitch in one line which stops it from syncing. I think it would be helpful if this could be flagged prior to syncing failure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How easy it is to navigate around. With limited training a new team member can use it very easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's not very adaptable - one size (doesn't!) fits all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TP is easy to build, easy to navigate, great team to support and flexible enough that you can bespoke build the system. They are constantly developing in line with market trends and keeping up with AI !! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of a visible dashboard to see all activity upcoming and recruiter progress, TsH etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
