5/5

What do you like best about PeopleGrove?

This platform allowed us to build an alumni and student network. The flash mentorship features give easy access to messaging tools and the filters are user-friendly. The new insights tool makes reports and data analytics easy to collect and view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PeopleGrove?

In a tight budget year, I do have to justify the costs to my senior leadership. However, I do feel the platform features, amazing tech support and provided training and community features give this great bang for the buck. It's an investment, well worth the networking and community it builds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PeopleGrove:

Use the community feature to learn from other universities/colleges who have implemented it. I learned a great deal from the advice shared by others, posted to discussion boards to share ideas, and provided feedback to new users from my own experiences. This is a great place to benchmark and learn best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PeopleGrove solving and how is that benefiting you?

One significant problem Peoplegrove solved was increasing the response rate when contacted. Because users knew the expectations and functions of the platform before joining, we found they were more likely to be responsive and helpful when someone messaged them on the platform. The benefits included more students had access to mentors to help not only with a job or internship search, but also to explore career options. It was very helpful to build a community that could answer questions and provide advice on a wide variety of career paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
