Crelate reviews

I've been using Crelate for about 4 months now. It is dramatically better and makes my work much easier than products we used in the past. The visuals and the ease of drag and drop- to bring in linkedin info, to change stages, to schedule activities, upload resumes attached to emails, send emails, to make notes, etc. is wonderful. Managing prospects from sourcing through offer everyday is really easy with Crelate. I love that.

We have specific basic reporting we would like to provide our clients- to do this we have to hire consultants. I wish the basic reporting was better. Also the search/boolean functionality is not as intuitive as linked in talent pool searches.

Software helps organize large amounts of data

Many items are not intuitive. WAY too many glitches. MANY items not as sold to us. Struggled getting set up. Customer service is really poor. Only works through desktop, doesn't work on iPad or phone, so worthless on the go. Continuous review of contacts is needed to catch errors.

Integrating Crelate was super easy, the great thing about Crelate is that theres always more in terms of setup and integration and it keeps on getting better.

Pricing is a pain point. Would like to see different pricing structures for lower level recruiters within the company.Customer service experience needs improvement as well.WOuld like Crelate to offer a 6 month review where they will review our setup and give us input on how we can make improvements without sellingWould like Crelate to integrate with QB or other bookkeeping software

Ease of use, customer service, and cloud based.

Like most software its a challenge to really get the best out of it.

Easy to use and easy to collaborate. The tags are helpful and I love that I can BCC emails and have them upload on a candidate's profile.

I wish I could FWD emails and have them upload to a candidates' profile. I don't like that it has to be a BCC in my response because I often forget or the candidate ends the convo and I want to plug in their reply.

(AllSearch is a 20 Person Professional Direct Hire Company). Ladies and Gentlemen of Crelate, all of you deserve some seriously high praise. Starting with whose initial Demo and considerable Q&A (he was very patient with us, no pressure) helped us realize that this system we'd never heard of was worth top 3 consideration against some very name brand players, during a time we were looking at literally 8 other Recruiting CRM/ATS vendors. Then on to the support staff whose incredible knowledge of both the system and industry thus able to act as a real business analyst and internal systems consultant. And last but not least to the support staff who took an incredibly complex legacy database we'd been running for nearly 20 years, made sense of it, and worked it successful into Crelate like a data magician.

I swear it felt like everyone I dealt with at Crelate could just read my read my mind at every turn, I never felt rushed, or frustrated, or like “just 1 of 1000 clients”.

You took a topic we'd been avoiding for years, conversion/migration of an enormous legacy database, and made it a breeze. My only regret is having waited so long to modernize our Recruiting ATS/CRM system to Crelate. Perhaps most telling, one of my favorite Day 1 comments from a new user of the Crelate..."This is SO CRAZY AWESOME!". I couldn't agree more.

A common sentiment I mentioned to the folks during the migration planning/training was "have you guys thought of everything?!", it really seems as if they have.

Nothing negative whatsoever to speak of yet. We migrated/converted over the course of the summer, went live on schedule a few weeks ago, with zero problems, and in the first two weeks, the general sentiment is the Title of this Review. Employees are thrilled, metrics are WAY up. Why, oh why, did we wait so long to migrate our core Recruiting ATS/CRM to a more modern platform. Granted it's the honeymoon period, but, so far, the Recruiting life is much better on Crelate.

Crelate is my daily ally in the recruitment battlefield. Its seamless resume database integration empowers me to swiftly save and organize resumes, streamlining the search process. I'm captivated by its applicant progress tracking, which keeps me in the loop, enhancing collaboration. The user-friendly interface coupled with robust customization tools facilitates tailored candidate management. The built-in communication hub also proves invaluable, ensuring a seamless connection with candidates. Crelate's efficiency has redefined my workflow, enabling precision in the talent hunt.

While Crelate excels, a notable addition would be diverse recruiting workflows for distinct job profiles. An option to customize workflows as per each position's unique requirements would further enhance its versatility. This tailored approach would elevate its utility, catering precisely to varied hiring needs. Incorporating this feature would make Crelate an undisputed champion in applicant tracking, seamlessly adapting to the intricacies of different recruitment processes.

Crelate offers many features and there are multiple ways to work in the system making it much easier to taylor to each users specific liking.

When merging into Crelate it will create companies for "past employers" which HIGHLY increased the number of inactive companies we not have mixed in with our data.

Crelate has recently added a feature which allows you to create an activity on multiple contacts at one time. This is something I have been waiting for! They ask for feedback, listen and then implement new features on a regular basis!

Too frequently, there are multiple profiles of the same contact. Also, when you import a resume it creates a company based on the most recent employer on the resume; unfortunately, since people call the same company many things, you have different profiles for the same company.

It works! Almost never any downtime. Extremely intuitive and easy for a new user like our entire office to pick up. Lot's of robust features that help me do my job, the templates are great for client communication (although I wish we could customize the 'Client Company Name' to be 'First Word of Client Company Name' so it comes off less formal and SPAMMY)

I'm on the BD side so for me: Importing contacts from LI defaults to a candidate so you have to be careful to click Client...When you type in a company name in the search feature and it brings up companies, JO's, etc., if you hit enter too fast it will bring an odd result of emails that have that company somewhere in the email...I wish on a contact list the columns that have the 'Current Position' were separated from the company name and their job title--it would be cool to be able to have a large list and separate it quickly between companies and titles. Maybe there is an easy way to do that and we just aren't using it?

What is there not to love? Crelate is super intuitive and customizable. I love how everything can as zoomed out or zoomed into the details as you want. The job postings are super quick and easy, and really help with our passive sourcing.

I haven't really found many areas where I feel Crelate is lacking. One issue I have occasionally is the Crelate extension will stop working out of nowhere and the only way I've found to get it to work again is to uninstall and reinstall the extension. This doesn't happen that often though and isn't too hard of a workaround fix.

Crelate is a smart tool that has an easy flow to set up, manipulate and make work for both the recruiting side and sales functions.

Integrating with additional resume databases would be beneficial, having the ability to link with additional sales software, like Apollo would be nice.

The software is relatively easy to use in many ways and with good features.

The major flaw is in tracking those that are being recruited to apply for positions. If those individuals apply, the software attaches their materials to their file, but it doesn't put that file into the inbox to signal that the individual has applied. Our team has to spend lots of time going back into the files of the hundreds that we recruit to verify if they've applied, and then we need to move them to other stages, rather than their applications simply going into the inbox. The application gets attached to the file, but there are no notifications to alert us that they have actually applied. Either a design flaw or training issue, and we need assistance on sorting this out.

I started in our company, basically knowing nothing. When I was introduced to Crelate, I was somewhat intimidated but jumped in with easy. Crelate help anyone learn their way around.
I was able to begin inputting information and learned how to operate Crelate in no time!

Crelate is sometimes very slow. I have spent a lot of time waiting for the app to think.

As a new employee the ease of use and training was straight forward, the reporting is simple and customizable. The cost relative to the usability is excellent, and keep clear notes in each candidate's profile is clear.

The resume search function especially when filters are applied seem to be limited. An ability to categorize the candidate based by region rather than super specific city might be helpful.
