Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

As an active job seeker, Candidate Labs assisted me in finding a perfect hiring fit with such speed and authenticity. Katie and I spoke almost every day from the first moment of active outreach to being a full hire. She provided gracious authenticity by defining the succinct attributes of the company and how I would be a great fit. Our consistent communication sped up the hiring process and the truthfulness throughout provided me great vibes to make my final accepting decision. Candidate Labs truly felt like it was a part of the hiring company which is why I followed Katie's opinion through and through. Candidate Labs is truthful throughout any hiring process and I believe their authenticity makes them stand out from any other agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Nothing. I appreciated everything about Candidate Labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Candidate labs was the talent agency that worked with me when I applied for an AE role. They worked with me from the beginning of the application process through the offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I think two things stood out most- speed & thoroughness of responses. Having worked with some very poor recruiters, I have had many experiences receiving thorough responses very quickly. Jaycie was super responsive and always was able to get me answers to the questions I had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I think the one suggestion I'd make is changing the intro a bit. Yeah, you're "working with the company." Being a little more clear about being their partner and external is the only suggestion I'd make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Getting hired and having a good recruitment experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

I started looking for a new position at the beginning of March. Mike found a position that fit exactly what I was looking for. I went through 5 interviews and Mike walked me through each one. He's very communicative, professional yet personable. He provided background and comprehensive intel on each interviewer. I felt confident and prepared from start to end. The process was quick, swift and reassuring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Mike genuinely cared about my needs and advancing my career. He thoroughly researched each interviewer and took time to prepare me before each interview. He let me know exactly what questions I should prepare for and provided thorough feedback before and after each interview. He took time to set aside meetings before the meeting and after to debrief as well. Even after I got the position, Mike helped me negotiate my desired salary. He made sure I felt comfortable with the position, benefits and pay. The process was sincere and professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing! I highly recommend Candidate Labs. From start to end every interaction I had with my recruiter was encouraging and reassuring. I had no doubts or insecurities at any point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs helped make the complicated process of finding and applying to jobs easy and exciting. The fact that I didn't have to do any job searching saved me a lot of time. Mike listened to what I wanted instead of just checking a box, he gave me the best career and prep possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Tyler reached out to me on LinkedIn about sales opportunity within the Ecommerce space. After discussing the opportunity with him over an initial phone call, we both agreed this would be a great fit for my skill set and my career. Tyler was amazing at prepping me for the interviews and making sure I had everything I needed. I definitely wouldn't have been able to start this new chapter in my career without his help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

The personal connection and support I felt. Tyler was constantly checking to make sure this was a perfect fit for me and made sure no stone was left unturned before moving forward with an offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Honestly nothing to dislike but I'm going to keep typing out words until I meet the character requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helping me get back into the tech sector that I was extremely passionate about. Working with recruiters like Tyler makes job hunting SO much easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Olivia recruited me for a marketing role that was a perfect fit for me. I had a unique situation where I initially moved forward with another offer (unrelated to the role & company entirely), but after some further thought, I realized I made the wrong decision, and Olivia helped me get the same offer back on the table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Olivia was incredibly personable, attentive and available—and was truly in my corner throughout the entire process! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There is nothing super top-of-mind! If anything, I would've initially preferred a little less communication, but in hindsight, I needed it :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Problem: Finding the best possible role for the next step in my career

Benefits:

- Way deeper insight into what the company on the other end is thinking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Liam, from Candidate Labs approached me with an opportunity via LinkedIn. We had an initial screening call to establish a fit and while he was representing the organization, he immediately had my interests/needs as an equal priority. He explained the technology Candidate Labs themselves used to find candidate-org fits and coming from a tech background, I was intrigued to learn more. From there, the interview experience progressed but before each call Liam would prep me on anywhere from personality of the interviewer, key areas to highlight in my resume/expertise, etc. Definitely the most thorough recruiting prep I have ever had and it made me feel all the more prepared for each interview. Once we got into the negotiation period, Liam offered advice and ultimately advocated for what I needed from the organization. He also made sure I had every answer from the interviewers that I needed to make a decision. Overall, the experience was fantastic and without him approaching me with this opportunity, I wouldn't have been able to make a critical pivot in my career. I am very grateful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Great technology - it was cool to look at their website and see the segmentation by roles, industries, levels of funding. Very unique and if you're in the field, this is an incredible way to navigate the recruiting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I experienced no downsides to working with Candidate Labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Don't think twice, Liam and his team were professional from the start and have continued to check in as I've been onboarded to my position. Again, 10/10 recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Candidate labs reached out randomly over LinkedIn with a job opportunity in the technology sales space. Peaked by the industry mentioned, I requested more info and within weeks I found myself accepting a job I loved in my dream field. Not only was Candidate Labs very quick to put me in seat, but they also actively listened to my concerns, and helped me decide which path was right for my long term goals. Mike held my hand through the entire process, giving me insightful tips for each interview and always making time to debrief once the interview was finished. The key difference I noticed is that Mike actually cares! I would not have found this position without their help, and I will be thankful for years to come for the help I received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

The attention to detail! Not only did CL have interview tips in hand, but they also made an effort to debrief after each successive interview and make sure my questions and concerns were addressed. It was like I had my own personal advisor, that had all of my best interests in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Not necessarily a dislike but speed! I was super quick to find and accept my new job, so I barely had time to really think it over! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Recruiting! I found my new job quickly and it was a perfect fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

I had a prior professional relationship with a top-notch recruiter at Candidate labs and reached out when I was looking for a change.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Teamwork, connections to companies and hiring managers, attention to detail, professionalism.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

During the interview process I was constantly updated by Mike on each stage and possible questions/requirements I would need to bring to the table. Mike followed up after every stage to gather feedback from me on the interview and was prompt with speaking with each interviewer to move the process along. We roleplayed each portion of the process to ensure that the interview went well and I felt confident going into it. Once I got to the offer phase, Mike made sure that both the company and myself were on the same page which allowed for better expectation setting and a smooth transition from offer to hire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I really like how the attention to detail on each portion of the interview process made me feel. I was confident going into each stage which most other companies do not offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

The one thing I wish I would have been looped in on was the benefits of the company prior to offer stage, this would have allowed a better dialogue and given me full scope of what the offer entails beyond compensation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a candidate I realize that Candidate Labs offers a more personalized approach to recruiting and ensure that when they bring candidates in they are well prepared and know what to expect within the company and interview process. I realize that as an interviewer myself, Candidate Labs will ensure that my time is not wasted and each candidate I speak with is vetted, educated, and prepared to speak with me.
