What do you like best about Sift?

Sift is more than a simple org chart solution; used correctly, the information you can gather from your staff can become data points used throughout the business. What Sift does exceptionally well is it takes all the data from your employee's profiles and allow you to filter it to find interesting and new ways to discover connections. If you're in the service industry, this solution could be a fantastic way to bridge the gap of finding the right experts at the right time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

There isn't much to point to as far as negatives in the platform. The Sift team is very open to feedback and more than accomodating to requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Initially, we purchased Sift to fill the gap we had in our organizational chart. However, with employees profiles, we can find surface our skills across our organization. This helps in many ways through improving employee learning programs, recruitment, employee retention, and even supporting filling roles in projects for clients.

Description

In any organization, the answers to "who do I work with," "who knows what," and "how can we work together," are often question marks. People data like skills, experience, and even contact info is often locked in an HRMS or scattered across multiple systems, making it hard or even impossible to quickly access. Sift puts your valuable people information from all your systems into a single simple-to-use search bar. Powerful people search, coupled with our dynamic org chart and employee directory, help everyone navigate your org intuitively. Sync to collaboration tools via a dedicated MS Teams app which helps employees find, connect, and collaborate with each other in ways that are more natural. Find folks with subject-matter expertise or similar interests to strengthen your internal network. Give your whole organization a tool that fosters true connections so everyone can work better, together.

What do you like best about Sift?

I have been in my company for 5 years and am looking at shifting careers within the organization. Sift has helped me incredibly in learning about various divisions, team members, and overall networking. I can use it to find a team member and reach out to schedule a shadow session to learn more about their role. It's easy to find others with similar interests to me with the search function. Previously, I used it maybe 3x a week to confirm roles within the organization as I saw a name in our programs, and now I'm using it at least once, sometimes twice a day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

It's difficult for me to pinpoint anything that I truly dislike about Sift.

One thing that has recently been a challenge for me is that when a search is "highlighting" the same terms I used, it's almost invisible on the page. I'm sure that once I reach out to Support about it, they'll review the issue and will work to make it better.

Sometimes when viewing the Org Chart, it's so expansive that I have trouble keeping up. It just takes a few click and drags to get me back to where I was looking. It's laid out well - might be just user error, haha. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm nervous about networking with others and learning about new roles at times. This tool helps me match personal interests with business interests so that gives me an additional point of discussion when reaching out. I'm grateful that once I make that connection and we set up a shadow session, that I can then verify where they sit for when I visit them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sift?

I am a recruiter, so it help me learn about our leaders or team members more. Its helps me find answers/the right people to get me the right information at a much faster clip. I love that it share contact info and is like an internal bio of team members.

Its can be used for so many applications.

-Org Charts

-team Structure

- Career Frame Work

- Getting to know your business as a new hire

- Internal Communciation

- recruiting and sourcing internal team members for opportunities they dont think to apply for

So easy to use, the funcitionality is so self taught Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

There is nothing I dislike, its more so "I wish" it did this or that. Like I wish it plugged into other systems we had, like headcount or open seats on a team for tracking.

I would if it could intgrate with our ATS or become an ATS for talent communities.

I think it could become a stronger networking tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps me provide direction and structure to external talent that we are recruiting. It helps with suggestive titles and suggestions to the business.

it helps me learn about people before I go meet them for the first time. It would be awesome if it connect to Ioffice so you knew where people sat as well.

I would if it talk about what their business area supports more in detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think of anything that I don't like in sift - its wonderful product.

Just an idea - it would be good if we can have a place to link our Linkedin profile from Sift as an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sift?

Easy to see who is on what team, what they focus on and connect a face with a name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

I wish some people updated their profile more often - or if it was auto populated. While most people have their profile filled in, there are some that don't have a the details on their profile so it isn't clear what specific things the person focues on within the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Learning more about the other team members in the company, what things each person focuses on and connecting faces with names. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sift?

It helps me keep up with not only my team but other employees throughout our network. Anytime someone asks me who someone is I can pull this up and actually show them. Need to know a birthday without letting someone know that you forgot? Right there. Need a tshirt size and dont want to make someone uncomfortable by asking? No problem, its in sift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

It would be nice to make it a requirement to upload a picture of yourself when creating the profile. We have had to chase some people up to get that done. Otherwise, i cant think of anything negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am terrible with names, this helps me tremendously in looking like a professional when I run into someone during an event. Also keeping up with my employees as far as birthdays go and getting ideas when doing special things for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sift?

I love that I can search peoples interests, skills, hobbies, etc. and make friends! I have made several friends this way as well has having questions answered. Other competitors I've experienced aren't as organized or have as many options as Sift does. I like that you can also add your pronouns so you can respect others! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

I like the org chart, but I feel like there could be a better way to view it. For me when it comes up there is a lot of people that come up, but that could also just be a me problem! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sift helps me find people to answer questions that I might not know the answers to just by using keywords like "excel", or "Ginnie Mae" for example. It has also helped me reach out to people when I am thinking about applying for a different job. It also helps me call people by the correct pronouns which I love!

What do you like best about Sift?

The best thing about SIFT is having the opportunity to learn more about my peers and their interests outside of the workplace! Great way to make connections. Easy to navigate and use daily when trying to find the best way to connect with individuals who are not in my department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

There isnt much to dislike! However, I think uploading photots could be done with more ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Sift?

As an Internal Communication Specialist, I use Sift constantly - sometimes upwards of 10+ times per day. It is a borderline life-changing program for my work and I find myself wondering how organizations who don't have a Sift equivalent get by without it! I love how easy it is to find what I need (and what I don't necessarily need, but would like to know nonetheless) - and I love that it makes it possible to get to know someone a litle bit before you even meet them. It definitely aids in forming strong connections! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sift?

I would say that I wish Sift was more integrated with Slack (would love if you could click into someone's Sift profile via their Slack profile). I also wouldn't be mad about more customization options in Sift - like the availability to add some creative flair (different color schemes, embedded playlists, etc.) to our profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am constantly needing to contact team members, make new connections and confirm things like role, tenure, name spelling ... you name it. Without Sift, I would probably have to do those things in a program not specifically designed for it (like Slack or Outlook). Having a tool dedicated to understanding our team members is invaluable for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyssa Burgol of Sift

Hi Felicia!

We love that Sift keeps you connected to your expanded team when you're on the road. Sift does integrate with Microsoft Teams for a streamlined access, including Outlook to share profile cards within the body of an email. We also have a mobile app for both iOS and Android phones, so you can take your team's contact info and lightening fast search wherever you are.

Happy Sifting!
