iCIMS SkillSurvey Reference Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

Skill Survey has saved our company so much time with reference checks. It makes the reference process smooth! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Entry-level candidates sometimes don't have a lot of references, so those are hard sometimes to do with this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our HR team no longer has to worry about calling and playing phone tag with prospective employees references. Such a huge time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to have the software integrated into our existing ATS to eliminate the manual input of each employee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many things to like about Skill Survey; not only is the timeframe for completion notable, the text individuals share is invaluable. Previous to purchasing SparkHire, I can't think of a time where we did not hire an individual based on completing traditional phone screens. Since implementing, we have made the decision not to hire based off of information provided. Also, the insight given provides leaders with potential areas of growth.

At this time, I have found no areas of dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To start with, Skill Survey Reference is easy to use. The dashboard, the user interface, the navigation throughout the portal - is all simple and efficient.

Entering candidates into Skill Survey Reference is also simple. The 'somewhat' recently added text messaging feature has been excellent at helping contact both the candidate and his/her references.

The jobs library is extensive and makes finding similar job surveys easy.

Another great feature is the ability to create custom surveys and add custom questions to the established surveys. This feature allows us to add the questions that we need to help protect our organization from the liability of poor candidate screening practices. An example of this would be asking references if the candidate has ever shown a history of workplace violence or a history of illegal harassment behavior.

Once completed, the reports are easy to read and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Skill Survey Reference is a great tool. However, there is one tiny aspect that can be a pain at times - the minimum reference count. Currently, at least two references must complete the survey in order for a report to be finalized and viewed. If this is not the case, you can not view the report. At all.

It saves my recruiters an average of 2-3 days when it comes to obtaining references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. It works very well. Love the ease of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so easy, as an employer, to request references. References really do respond quickly and you gain valuable feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Utilizing SkillSurvey can be a pain. I feel the interface is overly complicated, and there could be more analysis of the data to help me as a non-data oriented person understand the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The database and the fact that we catch people faking their references. The insights are incredible and people will rate candidates fairly accurately and give specific feedback on skills required for the job. One comment stated that the candidate was a great person as long as you don't require her to sell anything. The position was for Insides Sales. Respected resource with incredible data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Just don't like the fact that candidates try to cheat. Don't like the features around current employer references but it is not something we haven't been able to work through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful piece of the system is the preloaded positions and ease os use. The progress of each application can be seen as I first login and I can file each applicant away as the interview process progressess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything least helpful however I would like to be able to share the report with other users in my organization rather than having to print it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The confidential comments are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some users say it takes too long to complete the surveys, and sometimes it takes days for references to start the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
