Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

I was looking for my next sales role in San Francisco. Candidate Labs connected me with the right opportunities to pursue and together we found a great fit company, role, culture, and overall package for the next move in my career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

It's not that hard to find a recruiter in the Bay Area more than willing to share a list of jobs with you and let you pick and choose where you'd like to apply. What is incredibly hard to find is a recruiter that's going to stay the course with you, learn who you are and what intangibles are important to you, and ensure that you get an incredible and worthy offer. As a sales professional, I respect and appreciate Candidate Labs' approach to uncovering the value you'll bring with you to your next role, as well as aligning to long-term career goals. A true partner in finding success together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I loved my entire experience. Their new job search functionality was not quite available to the public at the time I worked with them, but I'm sure it is further enhancing the experience for current candidates. I even use it on my own to see what the market looks like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Definitely reach out to them and have a conversation. They're far superior to the other organizations that are flooding your LinkedIn inbox, submitting your resume without consent, changing titles of roles so that you'll pursue them, and mis-leading you on opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs helps me understand what the market for opportunities looks like and whenever I engage they always have deep contextual insight to share. They're well-networked with the rising stars of tech and always have an answer whether that's in regards to certain intangibles you want to understand about an opportunity or why a particular opportunity is marketed the way it is.

FInding opportunities for AE roles in the Bay Area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Jaycie immediately stood out with her attention to detail and down to earth approach. Candidate Labs took the time to understand my background and present value from the first call (as a salesperson I truly appreciate that) After our first call I was presented with a few breakdowns of potential roles with all the necessary information that was important to me...this removed any surprises or hidden details that would impact my interest in the role/company I was interviewing with. It's a nice feeling to know someone has an interest in landing you the BEST role and just ANY role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There isn't much to say here. It was a 10/10 experience overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Work with Jaycie! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs took the stress of essentially prospecting your own job search and turned it into a fun process. I was provided with helpful information that goes beyond a Google search, personalized introductions to folks Id be speaking with, and continual updates on where I stood in each interview cycle. This attention to detail and personalization made me feel confident going into each meeting that my best interest was in mind and not just filling a seat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Candidate Labs assisted me in my most recent job search and connected me with a company that I didn't think would be a match for me. After their initial consultation with their team, they identified my key strengths based on my previous experience, matching me with a company where I can be successful from day 1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Unlike other agencies I've worked with in the past, Candidate Labs hand-on approach to guiding me throughout the interview process was key to ensuring I was prepared at every stage of the process was . Jaycie was instrumental to this process and was readily available whenever I had any additional questions. She made sure to follow-up/check-in after every stage of the process to make sure I was ready. It was great having someone in my corner to help me, making this already stressful process much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing to comment here as my experience was amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Candidate Labs helped greatly with the search for my next professional opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

1. Recruiters at Candidate Labs (worked with Jaycie specifically) are the most personable and helpful people I've worked with in the talent acquisition space. They truly care about placing you in the right role. It also helps that they are very timely with all follow ups and thorough about keeping you in the loop throughout the numerous stages in the interview process. You never need to guess where you stand or what next steps are.

2. They care/listen to their customers (the talent) and want to make the entire recruitment process as simple and easy and possible. Candidate Labs proactively asked for feedback on their new software platform and made updates to it swiftly, ensuring potential future job searches are easier for not just myself, but anyone using the platform.

3. They truly take the time/effort to understand what you are looking for - where you are in your career, what you are looking for, career aspirations, ideal company profile, etc. From there, they provide tailored, relevant opportunities that meet the criteria you set. The prep/material they provide you about the company prior to interviews is absolutely top notch. Very different than the normal pray and spray approach (most recruiting companies that just want to place any candidate anywhere). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing. Candidate Labs has impressed me thus far, especially as such an early talent placement firm. Will get better as more opportunities get added to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Give them the opportunity to help you in your career and you will be very glad you did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Finding the next right opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

To those reading this review if you read nothing else or feel this is too long of a review, I beg you to at least read the very last sentence summing my experience Candidate Labs up.

If I could write a novel about the most incredible, caring, encouraging, honest, and relatable outside recruiter I have ever met who reach out to me I would but to keep this a bit shorter, my experience was 5-stars hands down. The recruiter's constant drive, passion, insight, and feedback to help me find the best possible fit was absolutely amazing, as I accepted the FIRST and ONLY position she reached out to me about since she found me the right fit off the bat (which was far less than 2 weeks yet she and I still speak).

Candidate Labs and the recruiter have forever changed my perspective on outside recruiters, I will continue to advocate for/refer people to Candidate Labs as well as chose to use them for any future job searches I may need help with because this experience and the recruiter have forever changed my life and left a lasting impression I will carry long past my experience at Candidate Labs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

First and foremost my RECRUITER (I cant stress this enough), Willingness to help you as a candidate achieve greatness/full potential, Speed, Feedback, and Transparency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I did not dislike anything throughout my process and feel that this was the best outside recruiting experience I have had by far 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 an amazing opportunity during COVID-19. Using Candidate Labs made me realize so many benefits of using THEM (By far the most helpful outsider recruiting company) during my job search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

They reached out to me about a role they thought I would be a good fit for. We talked to make sure it was a good fit and they were very transparent about expectations and why they reached out to me in particular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

From there they were really helpful in getting not just the recruiter but the COO onto the first call to walk me through the role and understand whether there would be a really great fit. And then once it came to the interviews I was provided with an interview primer that saved me tons of time in doing research into the company, complete with questions that I could be asking.

Definitely a different candidate experience than I'm used to, and definitely one I'd like to get used to :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

The only concern I had was some of the lack of clarity in terms of timelines or communication. Of course, this isn't entirely their fault as they have to wait for the company that hired them to get back, but I would love to have more open or frequent communication for something as large as a job change.

That said, when we did communicate, I always felt very taken care of and like I mattered, which is something you can't say about all headhunters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Finding a new job. I realized that there really are better ways of being recruited or reached out to and being walked through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Candidate Labs helped me when I was on a job search in the pre-Covid world. When I was laid off, they were the first recruiting agency I bothered to reach out too. Jaycie was very knowledgeable on the types of jobs that were hiring, as well as the salary I could reasonably expect given my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

The knowledge that the team has. High level executives at Candidate Labs took time out of their day to coach me on salary negotiations and questions in order to sign a contract with the value I was looking for. It was great service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There is not much to dislike about Candidate Labs. Due to their size, they may not have as many contacts at larger firms. If you are looking for startups and smaller companies, I can confidently recommend Candidate Labs to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Normally I feel as thought recruiters are working for the company and just the company. Not at all what I experienced here.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

To be honest nothing. I had a great experience through and through and compared to any other recruitment experience it was night and day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With candidate labs i’m not going into interviews completely blind. Billy (my recruiter) made sure I had all the information and materials needed to kill my interview. Having that in your corner is priceless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Candidate labs have been the only recruitment firm to work with me in such enormous detail on every step of the interview process.
