What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Candidate Labs (specifically Emily) wrote great emails to me through LinkedIn that were both personal and concise. The emails described the benefits of the position and got my attention. From there, Emily walked me through the process and made sure she answered any questions I had. She was a great advocate for both the candidate and the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there had been a bit more of a smooth transition to the HR rep at the company but their is only so much candidate labs can control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would use Candidate Labs again. I was not looking for a job when they contacted me, their emails got my attention and I ended up leaving my current role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I like that I was always in the loop on which part of the process I was in, and that Candidate labs managed the process for both myself and the company that I was about to join. When you're working with startups, scheduling and staying on track while being informed are hard -- but Candidate Labs made it easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There wasn't really anything I disliked about the experience. It was truly top notch and one of the best recruiting experiences I've ever had so far in my career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's hard to tell when a recruiter reaches out to you if they truly have your best interests in mind, or are just simply trying to hit their quota. With Matt from Candidate Labs, it felt like I had a career concierge guiding me through all the steps to land the role I was being recruited for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Throughout the interview process, I had updates and check-ins to ensure everyone was on the same page. It was fast and straightforward and highlighted the benefits of working with the hiring company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

This was one of the best recruiter interactions I've ever had. Nothing that I disliked. Short of hiring me on the spot, I'd recommend that they keep going with exactly what they are currently doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This was one of the best recruiter interactions I've ever had. Nothing that I disliked. Short of hiring me on the spot, I'd recommend that they keep going with exactly what they are currently doing. I was looking for a role with an early-stage company with the opportunity to grow. My recruiter detailed the position, and I immediately knew it was a fit. I wasn't directly passed off to a hiring manager. Instead, we had a prep call, and I felt they were with me every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Emily went the extra mile to create a relationship with me, understood my needs, and displayed transparency throughout the process! I've worked with many other recruiters who don't take the time to understand both personal and professional needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

No complaints about the process with Candidate Labs and Emily. They checked all the boxes for what I wanted and was looking for in a recruiter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

I would recommend Candidate Labs and Emily Kaplain with no reservations for anyone looking to match a strong candidate with the proper role. With transparency and a smooth process, I would imagine it very difficult to find a recruiting service today that would be better suited to create strong candidate/role matches and placements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs and Emily Kaplain provided a bespoke service tailored to my professional and personal needs. She made the process very user-friendly and enabled me to not only find the right opportunity, but to find it in a timely and vetted fashion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

It starts from the beginning - I've worked with several candidate search firms in the past, and it's immediately apparent from the initial kickoff call with Candidate Labs that their team stands apart from the rest. They asked incredibly thoughtful and probing questions about the role definition, experience required/preferred, and customers they would be working with. They also provided guidance based on their expertise and market trends they've observed, which helped us further define and hone in on what we were looking for. From there on, they sent over highly qualified candidates with detailed briefings on their background, experience, and screening call conversations, which was incredibly helpful for me to understand what areas I should focus on in my interviews with the candidates. Finally, they kept in close touch with the candidates and our team throughout the interview process, which helped us align on timing and logistics until an offer was accepted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Honestly, nothing. The Candidate Labs team nailed every interaction during our hiring cycle, and I've been highly impressed by the quality and velocity of their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were looking to add a seasoned Enterprise CSM to our rapidly growing Customer team. Candidate Labs was instrumental in sourcing top of the funnel, helping with the initial screen, and providing guidance and feedback as the candidates progressed through our process. As a result, we were able to make this hire quicker than expected with less time commitment from myself (hiring manager), and landed a stellar candidate who I don't believe we would've found without Candidate Labs.

A recruiter from CL reached out to me about an amazing job opportunity.
