"Candidate Labs was the perfect hybrid of educational, thoughtful, and resourceful recruiting"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

I used Candidate Labs in my most recent job search and I found the caliber much higher than any other recruiting agency I had worked with.

What was incredible to start with was the attention to detail. I had some specific requirements top of mind (Series A, early sales start up culture, experienced founders) and all of them were taken into account. I feel like with other organizations they will push companies that don't fit what I'm looking for as a candidate so it was a breath of fresh air to focus specifically on jobs that met my requirements.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

There are a few exceptional highlights:

1. Detailed preparedness: When I was interviewing for a specific company, I was able to talk to multiple people to get validation that the job was a good fit on my end. For example I would chat with my main recruiter (Jaycie Moller), the person who sourced the opportunity, as well as people at the company I was interviewing with in a less formal setting.

2. Thoughtfulness: My recruiter really dove into my background to find jobs relevant to my experience. For example, she saw I had worked as an intern for a college-based travel company and was able to identify that as a good way to connect with a role that worked with travel call centers.

3. Great experience: I felt supported through every aspect of interviews. I would do prep calls before, follow ups after, and continuous text updates. Even while applying for jobs during COVID-19 when there was a lot of uncertainty on the final offer side, I still received thoughtful updates regarding timeline.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I did feel like there were less jobs available than other recruiting agencies, which was a bit frustrating because there was urgency on my side to get a job. However, I think this is a product of thoughtfulness for the companies Candidate Labs works with, and the specific requirements I had for a new role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

I think Candidate Labs is huge on the candidate side if you are looking for a role. I anticipate bringing Candidate Labs on as a job sourcer if I ever have the decision making power to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Candidate Labs solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem that is being solved is either obtaining a job, or filling a position. The benefit was having very thoughtful interviews during my job application process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
