Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Finding a place where my skills and experience would be put to good use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Emily Kaplan was a fantastic partner during the recruiting process at Retool. She did a great job explaining the opportunity and then advocating for me throughout the process. I had very aggressive compensation targets, a high bar for product/market fit, and initially had thought I wanted to work on a CDP product. Emily's support was instrumental in helping me understand why Retool was a good fit and coordinating a seamless process with the in-house Retool recruiting team. This is the kind of partnership I'd hope for with any contract recruiter! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing! I've worked with many contract recruiters in my career, and most of them seem to be playing a numbers game. Emily's initial outreach was targeted, the information she provided was relevant, and she took the time to understand what I would find compelling in an opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am so happy in my new role at Retool. The product and team are everything I had hoped for, and I see tremendous potential for career growth going forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate labs reached out to me for my new role at Fonoa. The experience was absolutely amazing. Cody always was available for calls and kept me updated on all next steps.

I also enjoy working with his firm as they have provided me a great pool of candidates to fill my open roles. Finding top quality Account Executives is hard, but I will admit I have never had this high quality at scale that Candidate Labs has provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Jamie from CandidateLabs contacted me via email about a Revenue Operations Manager position. I was not actually looking for a new job, but he insisted (I am so glad he did) and we jumped on a call. He explained how CandidateLabs found me, why he thought I was a good fit, and gave me an overview of the hiring company/position/salary range. I decided to apply and moved to the interview with the hiring manager. After that, everything happened super fast, but I never felt that we were skipping steps or taking risks. Somehow they made me feel very confident that we were getting all the information we needed (company and me). I had debrief calls with Jamie after the interviews, he was able to get a lot streamlined to the hiring manager (for example: I already knew the position salary range and he knew what salary range I would accept). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Do I have to pick only one thing? :)

Jamie was part of every single step (from screening call to offer), and I felt supported by him. From the applicant's point of view, this is very refreshing. We were working together as a group and ended with a win-win. He was always one step ahead of the game. When I thought his job was done, he offered help with resignation and counteroffer negotiation!

And I need to mention again how fast everything happened. From the fist e-mail to the offer letter, it was less than a month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing at all! I had the best experience and would recommend them to any company and I am already recommending it to my job-hunting friends. I went through a few interview processes and nothing compares to this one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was not job hunting but Jamie found me a better fit and a better salary. No brainer! Airhouse is a good place to call home. Thanks, Jamie!

Having this flawless experience with CanditateLabs was a great way to start at Airhouse, and a great first impression. If a company cares about the recruiting and hiring process, they care about their employees. So far so good, I am very happy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Candidate Labs helped with:

Identifying my next career move that aligned with my experience and future goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I felt that Tyler and the Candidate Labs team did an excellent job asking the right questions to understand my experience and align it with potential opportunities. They were able to surface roles that resonated with me, and they held off on roles that didn't fit the bill, which I appreciated. I felt like my time was valued. The interview experience and follow-up was exceptional. I always knew where I stood in the process, what to expect regarding next steps, and feedback flowed both ways. There were plenty of check-in calls and texts without being overbearing - Tyler did a great job building rapport. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

I didn't experience any downsides to working with Candidate Labs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In such a crazy job market, Candidate Labs was able to cut through the noise and only put roles in front of me that I would seriously consider pursuing. They were able to identify opportunities that I didn't find on my own, which ultimately led me to accepting an amazing position that aligns well with my career goals.

Connection to compelling career opportunity, coaching through the interview process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

Candidate labs did a great job putting the right kind of job opportunity in front of me. I felt completely supported by the recruiter I worked with (Tyler) and he helped me get a better sense of my market value. He arranged a call with me before each to help me understand what to expect from the next conversation, and coach me through the process. He was also compassionate about the other opportunity I was pursuing, and assured me that he wanted what was best for me whether that was his client or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

Nothing. Candidate Labs was a model of exactly how the experience should look between a candidate and 3rd party recruiter. I wouldn't have them change a thing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Work with Candidate Labs if you want to be set up for success in your interview process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs helped me realize that I am ready to take a leap in my career. This completely changed the immediate trajectory of my career for the better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

I loved not having to do the negotiation piece myself and was blown away by the result my recruiter achieved on my behalf. Communications from Candidate Labs was wonderful - email, text, calls - we were never out of touch and I didn't have to wait days for responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

At no fault of my recruiter, the opportunity itself, probably wasn't the best fit for me. As a third party, I doubt they were privy to the company's recent troubles. The company downsized and I lost my job within six months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

I highly recommend them, you won't regret it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was contacted by Candidate Labs for an opportunity and decided to pursue it. My recruiter was personable and provided advice and guidance along the way. She also facilitated conversations with the prospective leaders and helped to get me the best possible salary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Candidate Labs?

The recruiter helping me with my PMM role was a true partner - highly proactive, like an advisor, was there to brainstorm and as a sounding board, patient, calm, but persistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Candidate Labs?

There was nothing to dislike. The recruiter understands the PMM tech market so well from an employer and employee's perspective. He was able to deliver quickly in a very tight market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Candidate Labs:

Candidate Labs are quick to understand your requirements and your restrictions and are flexible to find you the best match within those parameters. They have a smile on their faces and seem so determined but are not pushy in any way. It was a pleasure to work with my recruiter - a true ally! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Candidate Labs helped me with a product marketing opening on my team. Their professionalism and partnership from the start were signs that they would live up to expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
