CL recruited me to fill a high profile Director of Sales role Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My recruiter invested in me from start to finish. I've worked with teams in the past that only seemed interested in getting you into an interview, but Emily and the team at Candidate Labs made sure that I was prepped for each interview, and she acted as a mediator between my new company and me in the best possible way. She made sure that I was prepared while ensuring that I was going to be a good fit for the new role. I will absolutely use Emily and Candidate labs in the future.

It is hard to pick one reason. Candidate labs provided a personal touch that other firms lacked and made me feel like they were truly trying to help me find the best fit for myself by asking why I'm looking for a change and what my goals are for the future. In addition, they respected my timeline, followed up professionally, and helped me find the perfect next position at the right time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While I was passively open to new jobs, Candidate Labs presented me with opportunities across their portfolio of clients. Katie guided me through the interview process, which eventually resulted in me accepting a job offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really appreciated their personalized, transparent approach from start to end. I was sourced as a passive candidate and even before connecting, they provided a professional, detailed breakdown of the company and role. From there, Katie built a strong, trusting relationship by actively listening and showing she had my best interest in mind. The initial call was truly a session to learn about me, my experience, and what I was excited about and looking for in a new company/opportunity. The communication was straightforward throughout, so I always knew what to expect and was well-prepared for each step, and felt supported and mentored along the way. Katie was always willing to hop on a call to answer my questions, and prepped me for each step in the process. While interviewing can be an overwhelming experience, Katie made it much more enjoyable and manageable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was recruited by Candidate Labs for my current position. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A typical exec recruiter feels like a real estate broker for people, but Candidate Labs make it feel like a high touch engagement rather than a transaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Candidate Labs to recruit multiple new employees to my Customer Success team. I have worked with more than a dozen recruiting firms over the course of my career, and Candidate Labs stands out for their thorough and comprehensive process. Before I get to that, let me make the point that an intelligent and diligent team is table stakes, and Candidate Labs certainly has that. Truly all the individuals I worked with were best-in-class.

What makes Candidate Labs stand out is their thorough, comprehensive, and consistent process. There are plenty of recruiters out there who don’t really seek to understand the role and are ultimately just throwing resumes over the wall to see if something sticks. That’s one end of the spectrum, and Candidate Labs is on the other. During intake, they made sure to understand the details of what I was looking for. Then there was a calibration step to ensure we were fully aligned. Only after this were candidates presented to me, and these candidates were carefully pre-screened to ensure my time was not wasted. This attention to detail continued throughout the interview process all the way to the final offer stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Jaycie from Candidate Labs conducted the most professional and articulate recruiter screening that I can remember experiencing as a candidate. She knew her client and the role inside and out and asked the right questions to help both of us determine a potential fit in our first call. While serving her client with great attention and insights throughout the hiring process, she also consistently treated me as a valued client. She provided the right level of coaching and direction to ensure I was clear on the hiring team's interests and priorities while leaving it to me to put my best foot forward.
Having secured the role, I look forward to the opportunity to work with Jaycie and the Candidate Labs team as a hiring manager. They are clearly a tremendous asset to their clients' recruiting efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Deep knowledge of their client's hiring needs and the specific role in question. Ability to balance both the employer and candidate relationship while navigating the dynamic hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wasn't actively looking for a new role, but Candidate Labs got in touch with me about an opportunity that I was excited to learn more about, and it turned out to be a great fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From the first message I received from my recruiter on LinkedIn, the experience working with Candidate Labs stood out (in a good way!) from working with other recruiters. The message wasn't the typical boilerplate InMail but had relevant information about the opportunity that gave me insight into whether there would be a fit before agreeing to a screening call.
That personalized touch remained as I moved through the process for the role. My recruiter stayed in touch and proactively provided information that saved me time, like insights into who I would be meeting with and what they'd be evaluating for in each interview session. She was also transparent with feedback from the hiring company, which made the always nerve-wracking interview process less so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike most recruiters that reached out with roles that were exact copies of the role I was currently in, Candidate Labs reached out with a role that was related to my current one but in an exciting, new, and growing space. They then helped me position my current skills to make them relevant for the new role and helped me prepare for each interview by sending me information packets and scheduling prep calls.

They helped me prep for each call by sending information packets on the company, employees, and hiring managers. They also helped me prep for my presentation and were always available to answer questions about the interview process, salary, benefits, and the role itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
