My Experience with Vitay is good so far. I use this on a daily basis where I cannot find any issues or concerns with the system.
Pros:
The system is very user friendly and easy to complete reference checks. My checks are usually completed in 1 to 2 business days, which is a very quick turn around, making it easy to hire!
Cons:
There is nothing in particular that I do not like about the system.

"Best reference software for HR/TA professionals"

Amazing, if you have any questions you can reach out to them for support and they keep making QOL updates that make the software better to use everytime.
Pros:
It simplifies the reference process and allows any size of organization to not focus on the hardships of chasing candidates references.
Cons:
Honestly, its hard to come up with something I dont like. The feature id love to see added is a notification if a reference used a work email if it was blocked but I understand that is not on vitay and is on the persons work email auto sorting it

Pros:
Can get accurate references from referees and also, we can avoid face references. Moreover, referees can also fill out the request at their convenience then spending time on calls.
Cons:
Can not use same email ID to request anther reference as sometimes candidate needs to change referees.

"Pretty good."

Pros:
Very user friendly. Everything I need to see is there when I look.
Cons:
It would be helpful to have better search options for candidates. Sometimes a candidate will be added with the short version of their first name and when searching with their full name, they do not come up.
