What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Having been on both sides, there are several things I liked. As a candidate, I felt like the recruiter was truly looking out for me. He had my interests in mind as well as the client's. As a client, even in a difficult hiring landscape, they were able to bring in candidates that matched the profile we were searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

The candidate tracking could use improvement. Also, easier visibility into the screening process would have been nice to have. I've seen a preview of some new technology they are launching, which should help with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

If you want to fill a role that will significantly impact your company, I can certainly recommend Candidate Labs. I was thrilled with the results as a candidate and later as a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs brings well-qualified candidates into your world. We had a daunting task ahead of us in fulfilling a new role, but they brought a selection of candidates that enabled us to make the choice we felt was the best possible to move forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

The thing that stands out about our main contact from Candidate Labs, Emily Kaplan, is that she never sends over bad candidates. At the end of each of the last two searches she helped us with, we debated over multiple strong candidates we wanted to make an offer to. That's a good problem to have. It also saves time - it hurts every time you spend 45 minutes with a candidate who is obviously not a good fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I discovered Candidate Labs after Emily Kaplan started working there. We partnered with her when she was at another firm and wanted to keep working with her. Initially, we almost didn't sign because they were more expensive. But the extra couple of points turned out to be worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Emily and CL are awesome :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's always really hard to find great people. Especially right now. The crew at Candidate Labs helped me build up our team with amazing marketers, super quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I literally appreciated everything Candidate Labs had to offer. The quality of candidates was spot on. The over-communication was refreshing and the organization with regards to follow-ups was always well thought out and exact to what was discussed. I always looked forward to connecting with Candidate Labs on status updates, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There wasn't a single thing that I disliked. This is not ever the case when it comes to partnering with agency recruiters. Thank you Candidate Labs for such a great partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

You should definitely go with them if you are considering an agency. You will not be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We partnered with Candidate Labs to place a Sales Executive. I must say that working with the team there (specifically Lauren Howard) was a delight. Working with agencies can be somewhat challenging for the most part but working with Lauren has completely changed my outlook with regards to working with agencies. Thank you Lauren for making the partnership an actual partnership and not just lobbing candidates over the fence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Jaycie Moller at Candidate Labs reached out to me about a role at an enterprising young startup in early 2022. On our first call together she was great - she asked great questions, got to know me and what I was looking for, and was just generally easy to talk to and warm. Where a lot of these initial recruiter screens go south is when you feel like the person is sifting through the "Rolodex of candidates" to find skill-set matches only, with a lot of alignment to the hiring company and very little care for the candidates. Jaycie's approach was to understand first and foremost what I was all about - and then to act as a facilitator between myself and the company. In this case, she knocked it out of the park. When I eventually met the team a the company in question, the culture fit was an absolute match.

Ultimately, mostly due to timing, I ended up taking another position at a different org before fully finishing my cycle with the company Jaycie was assisting. However, I hope this shows that even though Jaycie and I weren't able to make this specific scenario pan out, I still think extremely highly of her work ethic and process. I had 150+ conversations with dozens of agencies and companies during my most recent search, and Jaycie is by far the standout experience and the person I'd think of first if I ever open up a search in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Jaycie excelled at the little things that mean so much. She prepped me for each call with either an email, or phone call, or both. She followed up after each conversation to get my feedback and thoughts. She handled the balance well of making sure the company was getting what they were looking for, and that my needs were also being met. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I honestly cannot think of a single item to put in this section. There wasn't a thing that Jaycie and Candidate Labs did that was out of place for me. Jaycie was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs is helping great companies find great people. Now to be fair, lots of agencies are working on this problem, but I believe Candidate Labs has an approach that puts the human element first, which is what's most important to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not had enough interaction to provide useful feedback. Everything has been positive so far. Liam even alerted me when he was going to be out of town. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hire fast in this market. Understand your process and precisely what you're looking for. Collaborate with everyone interviewing so that boxed can be checked on attributes, traits and behaviors.
