What do you like best about Sense?

I enjoy being able to see my texts from anywhere. I also like that it allows me to send automated replys when I am out of office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

That I need a different number to use it. But it does forward to my phone so it isn't too much of a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sense solves the problem of not being able to text my candidates from outside the office. This allows me to maintain contact and be in the loop from anywhere I have internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sense?

I like its ease of use and versatile functionality. I have used Sense as a Recruiter, utilizing the messaging function, and as an Admin to manage accounts and campaigns, complete reporting, etc. In both capacities, Sense is easy to navigate and provides an easy way to contact people, both individually and in mass, by text and email, add/remove accounts, set up and edit campaigns, and pull reports. Their customer service is good, always willing to help solve any issues that arise. From a messaging standpoint, the Chrome Extension is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

I have no real complaints; however, they did update the onboarding process to add a new user with messaging functionality, which requires a little more back-and-forth (signing of forms, etc.). Thankfully, their team is quick and has a good turnaround team, so it has not caused any problems. Also, it would be helpful to make the Extension compatible with Edge for those who prefer it over Chrome. Currently, it only works/is available with Chrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sense allivates the need for recruiters to use their own mobile device/number to communicate via text with candidates. This is extremely helpful as most recruiters do not feel comfortable using their private numbers. In addition, Sense also helps us (Sales, Recruitment, and Corporate) to reach large groups of people via mass-emails and their journeys. The journeys are very helpful to reach out to current clients and contractors, provide updates or instructions, conduct surveys for feedback, and referrals, etc. It adds automation into otherwise time-consuming and mundane outreaches.

What do you like best about Sense?

I truly appreciate Sense because it allows me to contact our employees without having to use my personal cell phone. Sense brings ease to contact, now a days no one really answers their phone if they don't recognize a number, but everyone reads their text messages so it's nice to be able to reach out through Sense and know that any information shared between us and our employees is secured.

What do you like best about Sense?

The level of support provided, things go wrong with all things and there are always teething problems. The team at Sense is happy to delve into the issue, make sure they understand what's going wrong and keep the users updated on fixes.

I'm a big fan of the texting functionality and the chatbots that we've been able to implement.

It's a large part of my processes now, allowing me to work smarter and focus on things that require my attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

Larger broadcasts can cause a lag and messenger has a larger memory for numbers than it should, as it should only be able to read what's on the page not what was on past pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's solving the issue of formality, which causes candidates to need to compose structured responses which they require time for. The technology Sense has provided means candidates can respond quickly regardless of what they're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sense?

* I love that the texting product uses the same phone number as my Teams/Work calling number: Easy to correlate a missed call, voicemail, and text all to the same person (as the recipient)

* App makes it easy to keep informed on-the-go, or while on lunch, or stepped away from computer

* Easy to click a number on a page and send out a text

* Good notificaton system - coming from verious places email, browser plug in, and phone app - to never miss a message

* Great that you can schedule a future text message - honestly have not used this feature nearly enough but it can have many benefits (pre-interview check in, weekly reminder to submit timesheet, or if you are working on EST and want to set up some texts to PST folks but not until after 8 AM PST, etc.)

* Also just a great tool to communicate with candidates in general, not just for initial outreach to potential candidates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

* Phone app has a few flaws, and/or opportunities for improved features...... Logs me out frequently. Isn't always up to date therefore can at times require multiple refreshes. I also wish that the app connected to my Teams recent calls/call log. Then I could easily click a number to text it, or make a call from the text. (versus copy and paste).

* Desktop app/email system: It would be very helpful if the plugin text could somehow have a link to that candidate's profile in our ATS. Similarly, if the email notification could link you to the candidate's ATS profile.

* I personally also wish that the mass text function was simplified - would be great to click numbers on the screen to simply add, versus the plug in auto populating numbers that can sometimes be messy and unclear who they are from etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In my opinion, the #1 problem it fixes is that our old system used a different phone number for our texts and our calls. Now it makes much more sense (lol pun not intended) for texts and calls to come from the same number Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sense?

I like the convinience of being able to talk to multiple people at once. I also like that I can us emy computer to send sms messages to whoever I need to send it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

It is very inconsistent. A lot of employees tell me their messages never reach them. There is a certian character limit to a broadcast message for major announcements but I can't send it so I had to turn to WhatsApp broadcasts and there all the employees get the message and there is no character limit and I can attach photos and voice memos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem it solves is using a PC to send SMS messages to any brand smartphone. Apple is very ecolocked in their system and so is Windows and Samsung. Sense can reach anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sense?

The user interface is clean and easy to navigate. I love the fact this platform integrates with our ATS and functions within a browser, widget, or app. Its notifications are also effective, but non-intrusive which is really great if you want to keep an eye on your messages without getting distracted or alarmed by them when deep in focus on other work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

Sometimes the "copy" function does not work in the app, so you have to close out of it and then reopen it to access that feature from the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows us to quickly and efficiently mass communicate with candidate profiles in our ATS. It saves a ton of time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sense?

I have utilized the Sense journeys to automate reminders to staff as well as send out important documentation. It has been especially handy when new employees become eligible for something like benefits or sick time, we can have a timed email with documents stored to go out at that time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

The "bubble" floating in my chrome often gets in the way, i would prefer a desktop application so I don't miss notifications and it is not in the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I no longer need to remember to send out reminders/emails/documents on a certain cadence. Sense handles that for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sense?

Sense is an asbolute blessing, sending messages out to large groups is hard to do.

Sense really helped bring a more personal approach to our employees, it makes connecting with our clients easier and it is used every single day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

I do enjoy Sense, if I didn't I wouldn't use it.

I wouldn'y waste my time, I value my time the same as you value yours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When messaging a group, Sense allows me to speak with whomever in first sense rather than 3rd, even when sending a message to 100 people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sense?

Sense is the perfect product for team or individual use! Messages are almost as instant as texts. I love the privacy of not having to share my personal number, but not having to have a seperate phone for messaging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sense?

When making calls from Sense, your personal number shows on the receivers caller ID. This can be confusing and can lead to unanswered calls if the receiver does not recognize the number Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mass texts make it possible to reach everyone with just a few key strokes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
