What do you like best about Crelate?

It has come at a time when need it. It is highly customizable with light features to help get started with ease. Such features are not easy to find in similar tool in the market. When it comes to training, we have received that and more from their customer support team. They have been of great help where our users are able to understand how features in the tool work over time. With the improved features after every upgrade, we are able to adopt this tool and entrust it with our projects in full. They add new features in their upgrades depending on the issues we raise to them. This works best in our favor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crelate?

We only have one problem with this tool, which might be on us anyway bearing in mind that the sole purpose of the tool is not about that. We want the developers of Crelate to include business development functionality. We do a lot of that and it would be better if they added such a feature to help us with our processes. We have made this issue known to them and they have promised to add it. Once this takes effect we will be able to smoothly utilize the product in our business environment smoothly. However, we are not worried much about that as the business development processes are not robust. It is thus possible to work around them with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crelate solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is simple system which means the features are easy to learn. Before Crelate, we had a robust system which was not easy to get around it. Then we had to switch to the use of Google Spreadsheets as the previous system did not allow our employees to collaborate on the same platform for the projects we undertook. With Crelate, it has come to solve all those problems, as users can access all the information about candidates on the same platform. It has allowed us to create a database on which we can search for a candidate on the same database for the qualities we are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Crelate?

I enjoyed how easy it was to transition from our previous database to Crelate and how it helpful the team was when doing so. I also find it easy to integrate job postings into our website and getting postings out to other sites at no additional costs. I like that it tracks time to fill and throughout various stages of the recruiting process, it's customer facing portal that can be used when you have a large number of roles and if your client company wants real time data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crelate?

Some of the search tools for information could be improved and there are some other features that should be available in helping with posting positions on social media requires some html support that Crelate does not provide.

Also with bulk mailing and tracking using links would be helpful- again with embedded html would also be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crelate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple to use pipelining of candidates is very helpful and this helps us track who we're dealing with and why we are passing through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Crelate?

It brings multiple applicant tracking systems all together into one place.

You can add other systems to Crelate, like Ring Central, to make calling and texting candidates easier.

Crelate alerts you when there could be a duplicate candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crelate?

I wish it had a sound alert option when a candidate texts back.

You must be in Crelate to see when you get a new text.

The only alert sound it makes is when the Crelate Team answers one of your questions. They are working on this improvement.

Crelate has too many options. So it can be difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Crelate:

Give it a chance and play around with it. Use their help desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crelate solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can clean up duplicate candidates and keep identical candidates from applying much easier than ANY other ATS I have ever used!

Now if Crelate could recognize the changes you made in the past and not interupt you to make the changes again. That would be great. Some things are time consuming when merging applicant records. Crelate is smart and should be able to merge the records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Crelate?

The product itself is great, smart, intuitive, lots of functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crelate?

They do not value the customers or the idea of customer service. The onboarding is basically recorded sessions, the ones that are live move so fast that is hard to follow and they justify it by saying you can watch the recordings or the articles. If you need help with anything, it can take up to 48 hours for a response. They use a bot system that is not good. I ended up paying $1600 to get the additional training so I could get my questions answered. I think they are running so lean that they give you the bare minimum for customer service so you are forced into purchasing their very expensive plans for service. They do not have a customer-first approach AT ALL. Pretty shocking in today's day, especially for a premiere product. Recruiter FLow, PC Recruiter, and Jazz HR are a few that really value the customer. Nick at JAzzHR is a gem. It seems like Crelate just put all its resources into the product and figured that once you were on the hook, it wouldn't matter because it would be too difficult to leave and start over, which is the case. It's such a shame. I wish there was a product like Crelate that valued customer service as much as the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crelate solving and how is that benefiting you?

a central database for us all to use and keep the candidate and client records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kole Riggs of Crelate

Hello Hillary,

We are truly sorry to hear of the issues that you are having with your customer service experience with Crelate.  We do appreciate that you consider us a Premium Product and believe as you do that Customer Support should match the high level of the product. We're glad you've since had conversations with our CEO, Head of Customer Success, and several recurring calls with our Head of Customer Support. We are always open to connecting further.

While we offer several avenues of implementation and training to accommodate the array of needs from our diverse customer base, we are always open to hearing feedback on how those might be enhanced.

We appreciate the opportunity to review our communication portals with customers, as we hold those relationships in the highest regard.

Please don’t hesitate to contact your Customer Success contacts.

Best,

Crelate
