SkillSurvey allows us to collect references in an easy, 1-click process that we chose to integrate into our ATS (iCIMS). It has cut down on manual time of our recruiters having to track down references, document notes, etc. This keeps reference feedback compliant. It also is integrated into our CRM to help build our Talent Network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration into our ATS (iCIMS) was seamless. We chose only to add select assessments at the beginning. As our business needs have grown, our common skillsets have grown as well. The process of adding additional assessments to our ATS is not as user-friendly as I'd hoped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Skill Survey has helped us reduce the time it takes references dramatically. We generally can complete three references within 2-3 days, sometimes as quickly as one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a simple way to have your ref checked without having to do all the legwork Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount of time it takes for someone to complete it pretty long Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is all data driven. You can compare candidates to others with the same skill set. You do not have to call people randomly and take notes. Simple email reminders come out as well to alert someone that they need to complete the reference by a certain amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Truly nothing - it is very simple to use and it seems like an affordable technology to invest in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Skillsurvey allows candidates to input their own reference information. And then the recruiter can see the details of who they requested from and whether they have clicked on the link.

Also love that you can choose the survey best suited to the role and you can ask SkillSurvey for recommendations.

Love that they also provide ip address information so you can really track validity of results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having all the surveys based on job titles is great, but it would be nice to have ability to mix and match question sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's super easy for the recruiter - and it's awesome that all the information is collected, prepared and analyzed for you. Much more effective than old-school reference calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no complaints. works great. Nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Completeness of references received - Instead of only getting a "yeah great" regarding a person you get some real insight into their personality and function within a workplace. People feel more comfortable revealing details with the anonymous nature of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don't dislike anything, sometimes it is slightly difficult to find the right survey for titles as you have to word it just right, but it's not a major issue at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked that I could remind individual references through the system via email and text Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
