TalentReef

Employee management software for large and small companies

Comments: Initially used in a larger company and the training process for managers to use effectively was long and confusing. Have a plan to implement and train users thoroughly or it will not be used correctly. Once familiarity is there it is a great tool for a team to use to be on the same page for hiring process where turnover is more frequent

Pros:

Online application process is nice and user friendly. Was a great platform for a small and large business to be able to accept online and mobile applications for employment. Also a great to to onboard staff through the hiring process

Cons:

Set up requires many man hours. You get out if it what you put into it

Easy to Navigate and Beneficial to Both

Comments: Overall this is a great tool for both parties, and requesting a demo can be helpful if you don't know if it's right for you.

Pros:

This platform is available on mobile as well and is easy to navigate for employers and applicants. I love that you can apply on the go, and the customized job postings.

Cons:

Customer support isn't always the most responsive if you need something and loading times can be frustratingly slow.

Regrettable Decision to go with TalentReef

Comments: It's rough! Ask for a trial or sandbox before signing a contract. Whatever you do, please do not sign a contract without trying it out first. Try the calendar, text, and navigating, and see how user-friendly it is in actual use. Have multiple users provide feedback on the system's use before making a decision to sign the contract.

Pros:

The Indeed integration allows you to customize your budget vs. selecting from a predetermined budget.

Cons:

It has not saved me money or time. They don't offer a sandbox or learning environment. We're being asked to test and train in a live environment. The issues encountered are all discovered in a live environment. We're two months behind schedule as it's not working or functioning in the way it was sold. Their internal implementation team has turned over once. Impressive Kickoff call, but after that, it goes downhill in support, active listening, and addressing real concerns. They will address the low-hanging fruit, they just lack the ability to read the room and address the elephants in the room. Not only are you asked to learn a new ATS, but a project management system, a text, and a calendar application. It's not scalable, it will need to be programmed and templets set up by each individual user. It's been a very difficult road going through the implementation. It's an outdated ATS, they piece together a lot of features, but it doesn't come together as a seamless product. Clunky is the word I would use after using several other ATS providers. Professional recruiters were not considered in the design or layout of the system. Recruiting can be a fun and enjoyable career if you have the right technology, this system takes all my time and effort away from recruiting. Countless hours have been put into testing and troubleshooting their system for them.

Very robust talent management software that could use some tweaks to the UI

Pros:

Talent Reef is the talent management software that we utilize daily for onboarding team members. From applications, interviewing, hiring and tracking all legal needs this software delivers in a very vibrant UI.

Cons:

The completion of certain forms is an ongoing thorn for what would be an otherwise great piece of software. On both the onboarding team member, as well as the overseeing manager, there are times where it can be confusing to know if a certain task/field has been filled out and has led to some delays in completing a team members hire process.

TalentReef is helping me organize our hiring and onboarding process!

Comments: Organization! When you are constantly hiring new staff, you need a system that keeps all the information and files organized.

Pros:

TalentReef is supper user friendly, and customer service is excellent. It is amazing how TalentReef helps you keep every candidate's file organized. I am able to keep all employee related documents in the system so when I need something I can find it right away.

Cons:

The cognitive tests they provide are not very challenging. The tests are good for an entry level position but not for the job openings I have.
