"Pretty good, but the CX is why I love it"
3/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

Candidate.FYI has the best customer service out of all the recruiting tools I've used - they genuinely hear you, work with you, and develop product solutions to solve longer-term issues. Candidate.FYI also has a lot of generally smart features that perform equally or better than some top competitors. Lastly, the candidate.fyi portals are SMART! These bring an advantage to the product that other companies can't/don't compete with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

It's still growing, and the scheduling features are relatively new compared to it's original portal product so there are some bumps in the road in transitioning from a more well known, better integrated tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it engages our candidates with the hiring process, and that it saves time for our recruiters and hiring managers by answering questions they didn't even know they had.

Our feedback is listened to and any issues we might have are solved almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

Dislike is a strong term - there are a few minor tweaks (like being able to sort lists on the admin side) but nothing major. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Don't listen to me - listen to candidates."
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

As someone who has led recruiting teams and recruiting operations this is one of the most impactful platforms I've used in years. Once set up the platform becomes really easy to use and maintain. Candidates love it - I've had multiple candidates who have reached out or mentioned specifically how the portal has helped them prepare for interviews and shows that the company cares about candidates and employees.

For such a small company I've received some of the best customer support I've had in a while. The founders are really responsive and proactive in making sure we're getting the most out of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

There is some automation that is missing but hopefully in development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use!"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

Candidate.fyi removes the manual labor of keeping our candidates engaged and in the know about our interview process. It also allows recruitment visibility into candidates' interviewing experiences with our team members, allowing us to create better interviewing experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

I think the manual labor of adding each individual employee to Candidate.fyi along with their LinkedIn profile and photo – it'd be nice if Candidate.fyi could auto-syn a spreadsheet or integrated with TriNet or something of the sort. But that's generally not a big issue, just a bit tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A no brainer way to set us apart"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

There are so many benefits to providing a candidate platform. Still, my absolute favorite thing (as a talent leader) is the data candidate.fyi gives my team on candidates' intent and experience. Are they logging in? Are they engaged? How are they feeling about the process so far? It's INCREDIBLE and has helped us differentiate between high-intent and medium-intent candidates before going to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

I've had some feedback for the team on ux/ui and sorting capabilities that they took in stride and managed to implement quickly. They are very committed to their customers and evolving fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game Changer for Candidates & Recruiting Teams!"
5/5
What do you like best about candidate.fyi?

Candidate.fyi brings a whole new level of transparency to the recruitment process for candidates and our internal team. The customizable and easy-to-navigate setup lets us personalize the content for each stage and job, giving candidates relevant information at their fingertips. Recruiters can now spend more time focusing on evaluating the candidate's background and less time walking through details like what to expect next, what to wear, how to get to the office, who they'll be meeting with, etc. Also, the pulse surveys and insights give my internal team a more precise view of how they are performing and motivates them to provide the best experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about candidate.fyi?

I'm excited to see how the insights and data develop within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
