What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I worked specifically with Alex Pucci. The hiring process for my particular position took a bit of time because the company carefully evaluates all candidates to ensure they have the right skills/experience and are a good fit for the company culture. Alex gave daily updates (even when there were none) which provided a transparent and comforting experience. It seriously was the best recruiting process I've ever had due to the level of communication and responsiveness that was provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There is nothing about the hiring process that I didn't like. The experience was great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

They were very responsive and hands-on throughout the process. Travis and I met before each interview to ensure I was fully prepared. I've worked with other firms that did the initial outreach but failed to provide as much assistance during the interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Sometimes the interview follow-up with their team felt like extra work, but I know it was because they wanted to stay in the loop on how everything was going. Other than that, I was thrilled with their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Work with them!!! 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 new opportunities and guided me through the interview process. I would not have found my new role without them, and they helped me through each interview round with inside tips that enabled me to crush each interview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Katie was extremely transparent and helpful throughout the entire process. Gave me all the right information at the right time and I felt she truly cared about me and was not just trying to fill a role and move on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing, everything during and after process was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Frankly I had never heard or worked with Candidate Labs before, but would 100% recommend them to others, and in fact have added Katie and Candidate Labs to the list of recruiters I've used both on the hiring but also personal side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I worked with Katie Ostrander as we was working to fill a role and she helped recruit me into new role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Jordanne and Jaycie were absolutely delightful to work with from start to finish. They handled the calibration process with utmost professionalism and provided the company with additional industry context on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I believe on a security front, I would have liked to be the owner of the meeting just so that logistically we have control over the meeting scheduling over last minute changes but I understand that CL needs to include their note taker for notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

For future clients, you should have booked them yesterday. The candidate profile that we were targeting was very industry-specific and a unqiue edge-case. CL's process on finding a candidate from start to finish landed our first AE hire. I don't doubt that they will have the capacity to fill other prospective roles for future clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The company was looking to hire it's first Account Executive role. Candidate Lab's calibration process was top tier. I feel like the calibration process was very productive in ensuring all priorities were aligned to find the best candidate profile for the role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Katie's professionalism is top-notch. She always followed through when she said she would (even during a long distance move) and communicated regularly throughout the interview process to make sure I felt prepped for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing. In fact, where I've been turned off by recruiters in the past who were only in it for the placement fees, Katie was clear that she wanted me to be comfortable with the role and to only move forward if I thought it was the right thing to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

If you are looking for a recruiter that cares about you and your goals, work with Candidate Labs. I can't say enough good things about Kate Ostrander. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nothing! I wasn't seeking a new role, but Katie with Candidate Labs connected me with a really unique opportunity that aligned with my education and career goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Jordanne went above and beyond throughout each cycle - from listening to my criteria and matching them with clear "whys" behind the recommendations, assistning in scheduling and preparation, staying on top of feedback, and ultimately being transparent and a partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Finding a new work 'home' is daunting and can be stressful. Working with Jordanne, I was never stressed and got to focus on vetting / selecting my next role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Companies should look to Candidate Labs as they draw in quality talent, candidates can expect a phenomenal experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

After company layoffs, I was looking to find my next venture quickly with the criteria of: a) quality leadership at the executive and front line management levels with strong investors b) proven product-market fit with both short term growth + long term plans/upside c) market/above market compensation. Working with Jordanne and Candidate Labs I was able to find achieve all of my criteria in a timeline that exceeded my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There was honestly nothing to dislike at all. I'm only filling this piece out as a requirement. If you dislike efficiency, satisfaction, and perfection, then maybe Candidate labs isn't for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

DO IT! I have worked with various other recruiters in the past, and none of them made me feel as of the utmost importance as Lauren Howard and Candidate Labs have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate labs made finding my new job extremely easy and matched my business and personal desires with a company that was seeking not just to fill a role, but was seemingly looking for me specifically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
