Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Jaycie from Candidate Labs reached out to me via LinkedIn looking to connect about a potential AE role, which led to conversations around some other AE opportunies that were also aligned with my goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I really loved the personalized approach that Candidate Labs takes. Jaycie took the time to get to know me, get a feel for what I was looking for in a new role/new company, and to understand some of my long term goals.

Candidate Labs is extremely organized. I was provided with great information on potential roles/companies and felt comfortable and excited going in to each interview. Before the interviews, Jaycie and her team helped me to prep - even sharing information on different personality types I might come accross in a specific interview.

In addition to prep, Jaycie and her team always let me know where I stood regarding an opportunity, offering up great feedback. I felt as if Jaycie and Candidate Labs were in my corner through every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I have nothing negative to say about Candidate Labs. Jaycie and the team have been a tremendous resource to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs helped me find the right role, not just the next one. Jaycie truly cares about my long term goals and did an awesome job placing me in front opportunites that align with those goals. Other recruiting agencies can sometimes make you feel like just a number, while Jaycie built up my confidence and helped me land a great opportuinity! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Maddie is the BEST, excellent communication throughout the entire process, answered all of my questions quickly and honestly. I had been in my previous role for the better part of a decade and considered myself a 'lifer'.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Candidate Labs worked with me to find my next Sales leadership role. I worked with Tyler over the course of about 4 weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I worked with Tyler who approached me via LinkedIn about a sales development leadership role he was looking to fill. Tyler was amazing. He was very communicative and transparent at every stage of the process. Tyler was proactive in his communication and very responsive. He took the time to really understand my background and what I was looking for in my next role. The initial role he reached out to me for didn't turn out to be a fit, but as a result of his thorough understanding of my goals he connected me with the team that would ultimately become my new employer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There were no downsides in my experience with Tyler and Candidate Labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

I worked with Katie Ostrander at Candidate Labs, and she was easily one of the most buttoned up and helpful recruiters I've had the pleasure of working with. My goal in seeking a new role was to find a team of star players who not only excel at what they do, but welcome collaborative input from others. Ideally, I was looking for a fantastic culture fit where I can feel fulfilled in contributing to the success of a company that values and nurtures those efforts. Katie found a wonderful fit, as was evidenced in everyone I spoke with throughout my interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Katie was incredibly communicative, offered constructive guidance throughout the entire process, and made the journey to my new role enjoyable along the way. Simply put, she was a delight to work with and professional in every sense of the word. I appreciated her level of attention to the detail of each engagement with the stakeholders at the company I interviewed (and eventually signed) with. She offered specific insight that prepared me well at each step. The dossiers she provided on the company and stakeholders I ended up meeting were invaluable as well. This is very different from any other recruitment agency I've worked with previously. Many times, a candidate is left to research on his or her own, though Katie provided a wealth of information before each conversation I had with the company. Definite plus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Honestly, I didn't find a downside to working with Candidate Labs. It's rare to receive this level of personalization and feel like a truly valued candidate where your mission in finding the right role feels like a priority. I felt that here and would highly recommend working with them to anyone in the market for a new opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

My recommendation to others using or considering Candidate Labs is simply to do so and engage fully with your recruiter (and work with Katie Ostrander if possible!). A candidate gets out what he or she puts into the relationship and desire to find success so commit to doing so with Candidate Labs, and you won't go wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs helped me solve my goal not to rush into a position with a company that didn't feel like a mutually beneficial fit. Nothing felt rushed or pressured throughout the process, which I appreciated. I realized there are recruiters, like Katie, who genuinely care about the candidates she works with, and you can sense her pride in her work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing at all. Everything was great from beginning to end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Job search. Applying directly to companies is not the most efficient and hard to get an interview. Candidate Labs solved that problem ten fold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Let me start by saying that I wrote out this review for Katie even prior to knowing the outcome of the opportunity she was guiding me through, though I will say that I’m extremely confident of whatever results come from my recent interviewing process thanks to all of the hard work Katie put in to helping with preparations. From the start, she established an open line of communication so that we were on the same page throughout the process. In addition to that, she and her boss, Michael, dedicated time to help personalize my messaging for a final sales pitch for an AE role, and you can tell that they both really took the time to understand the role, the company, who I was, along with whether or not it would be a good mutual fit and why. I’ve worked with recruiters in the past, both internal and external for large companies to start ups and anything in between, and by far Katie and the team at Candidate Labs went above and beyond in helping a company and candidate find a mutual fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Katie and Michael were extremely personalized when it came to helping me prepare for an AE role and pitch -- They both helped me carefully craft my messaging and helped in building my confidence. Katie was always available for strategizing on things throughout and communication was always open. There were no moments in which I was left wondering where I was in the process/what to expect next/when I would hear back --she was on it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I have absolutely no complaints at all! I've worked with recruiters previously, both internal and external for companies ranging from start ups to huge companies and never had such a positive experience as I did with Candidate Labs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Be open and honest throughout the process on what you're looking for and interested in so that they can find the best fit both for you and for the companies they're working with

Sales reps: I know that your inbox is filled with messages from recruiters that you are likely going to ignore. Read any message from Katie and respond, because I guarantee she has thought through why you would be a good fit for whatever the role is, and if the company seems like a good fit for what you’re looking for, she and her team will work to get you there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I had just started to casually look into new opportunities that might be a good fit -- Katie had reached out about a company/role that looked perfect and wanted to make sure she found good fits both for what the company was looking for but also what I was looking for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Katie reached out to me through LinkedIn initially with a genuine opportunity and was a pleasure to work with. She helped coordinate multiple interviews and conversations between interviewers and me, and was super diligent with follow-ups. I had all my questions answered throughout, and she was constantly responsive over text/email despite being in a different time zone and over an entire 2 month interview process. Katie felt I was a good fit for a job opening she had and brought all the stakeholders together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Katie and the Candidate Labs team are expert recruiters that are familiar with the entire process. I didn't experience any unexpected hiccups at all, and next steps + what was required from me were all very transparent and informative. Most important thing as a candidate in my opinion is having a reliable and responsive facilitator between the candidate and the many interviewers at the hiring company, and I never felt like anything was missing throughout the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing in particular. Overall a great experience with a team of professionals, resulting in me accepting a competitive offer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:
