Nothing that is a particular concern- I do wish there might be an offering to create invoices for clients or to do payroll directly from the system currently. I am aware this does not exist with any ATS platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SmartSearch provides a solid and customizable workflow when it comes to tracking the three main variables - candidates, clients, and requisitions. The ability to quickly add notes to any of those "buckets" provides additional accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a user friendly. Easy to navigate, learn and use. You can learn through the training videos. You can make/keep a folder for your pipelines, favorites, jobs, and many more. You can save time in clicking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is slow most of the time and sometimes it does not capture the location and years of experience I want to see. Example you were only searching for 50miles but it appears candidates who lives within 70-75miles. Another thing is when you were only searching for profiles that is only more than a year, you might possibly open profiles that is not fit to the years of experience that you were searching for. It short it is not sometimes accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
