What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Candidate Labs is thoughtful and diligent in their work. They showcase a personalized workflow and customized candidate pool that makes you feel like they don't just hear you, but they really listen to your needs. They want you to succeed and they express that through their open line of communication and overall high-quality work ethic. Their responsiveness, ability to follow up with you before it even crosses your mind and continued encouragement, motivation and guidance throughout the process made it a very effortless experience overall. Not to mention, our needs were met months in advance of what we estimated! They are truly the recruiting wizards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Absolutely nothing. I would refer them over and over again if I could. The people behind Candidate Labs are what make them so unique and qualified, and it's obvious just how much care and attention they put into their work so the outcome is even greater than what you planned for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Trust that this is an unmatched experience. From the team, quality of their candidates, guidance with the interview process along the way, to everything in between, Candidate Labs has your best interest at heart.

You won't be able to thank them enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As our company size is multiplying exponentially, we needed fast but effective support to help us find the best-in-class people to fill our high-demand roles.

They understood our problem and found us quality solutions that addressed our greatest burdens. They work quickly, they work smart and they work as your partner along the entire journey.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

How helpful and supportive everyone was! I connected with 3 recruiters, Lauren Howard, Andrew Lewandowski and Tyler Mattos. They were consistently reaching out/following up, answered all of my questions and all went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Honestly, nothing! I had a wonderful experience with Candidate Labs. I've never used a recruiter before and due to my great experience with them I'll always be sure to reach out to Candidate Labs or at the very least a recruiter. Game changers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When I was suddenly in the job market, Candidate Labs helped me find a new role within weeks. I believe it was a little less than a month. It not only sped up the process but saved me so much time applying to roles that may have never gotten back to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

What I liked best is that Chanler made it a point to discover what I was looking for in my next role. Within just a few hours she was able to set up a few interviews with companies that most aligned with what I was looking for. Although the first company I interviewed with didn't go as planned, the second one did and with an even better company. Chanler also did a great job communicating with me throughout the interview process as well as provide insight as to what I should expect in each meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

No complaints. Very professional. I would recommend Candidate Labs to everyone in active search of their next role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Keep doing what you're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In early July I was laid off by my previous company and had an immediate need to find my next job. Chanler Martin reached out via Linkedin and really lead the way in my review. I was able to land my next job only a few weeks after being laid off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Alexander Pucci initially reached out to me about one company, but after talking and listening to my requirements, he actually suggested an entirely different company (the one I ended up joining) that was a much better fit for me. I loved that he took the time to understand my needs, and was readily available every step of the way from my initial call to my final round interview. He was there anytime I needed more clarity or understanding about the company I was interviewing at. From first convo with to signing my offer, it was less than 2 weeks. I loved how fast the process was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Honestly nothing! Alex was great, super transparent about the process, and kept me up to date with how the team was liking me. I've never had a recruiter actually be so attentive to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

If you're someone looking for a new role, can't recommend Candidate Labs more. Great experience, and they work with some of the best and fastest growing companies out there. I never would've even discovered my current company without Candidate Labs. Plus if you're a company considering hiring Candidate Labs for recruiting, they truly treat your candidates amazingly well and create a great interview and recruiting experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was looking for a new role at a startup, but having worked at 4 previously, my list of requirements were incredibly high and I was very picky with what my next company needed to have. However, it's hard to know what companies are actually out there that have great cultures, products, high-growth, and an great people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I was looking for a new opportunity when I first came in contact with Cody from Candidate Labs. He took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for with my next job. The interview process was long, with no fault to them. He kept in constant contact with me and answered all of the questions that I had. He made sure that I was aware of where the process was at throughout the entire journey. I appreciate his determination to make sure that I was in the loop and I am extremely happy with my experience with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing. As I mentioned, I was really happy with my experience with Candidate Labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Everyone we worked with at Candidate Labs is efficient, thorough, and extremely organized. They seemed to genuinely care that we found the right candidate (and even told us when they thought we could find a better fit for us) while also making sure the candidates were well taken care of and respected. Communication was always clear, concise, direct, and timely. Maybe cliche, but I felt like we had an actual partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

The only thing that gave me pause was the cost. To be clear, it's consistent with market rate in my experience, especially for VP+ level roles, but there can be sticker shock if you're not used to working with top firms like this. When I think about the cost of conducting this kind of search on our own, it's very easy to see the value of working with a team like this this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Make use of their experience even if you think you know exactly what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We engaged candidate labs on a VP of Marketing role at a series A startup. We really needed a complex combination of skills and needed help. They were able to quickly calibrate, build a pipeline, refine the search, and find us a group of finalists that gave us multiple options. The team is one of the most methodical, organized, and strategic I've seen. We were able to have them drive the process so we could focus on the candidates. Even the onboarding experience was simple and fast. Once we met to kick off the search, they ran us through one of the most efficient, thorough, and organized processes I've ever seen. During the search, Emily (our recruiter) made sure we gave VP-level candidates a great experience, provided us extremely detailed analysis of each candidate across the most critical attributes to us, and kept things moving. If there were questions or adjustments that needed to be made, they came to us right away with options and advice. For an early stage company like us having a partner like this is critical since we don't have a dedicated internal talent team. Kendra, Emily, and Cissy are also just great people to work with.
