Reviews of CATS
Extraordinary support!
Comments: We recommend it to our clients often. It helps us enable them to stay compliant and organized.
Pros:
I'm not a technician, and having the resources of the CATS team be able to talk me through solutions to some of our challenges has been a tremendous plus!
Cons:
The analytics could be made more pliable so that you could bring more info into an excel spreadsheet. Other than that, I can't think of anything.
Alternatives Considered:
CATS has been such a help so far!
Comments: We have been using CATS since May 2019 and so far I love it! We are a smaller - midsize company and I had been looking for an ATS that would help to make my recruiting process smoother. As the only recruiter here, I needed something to help streamline my process, hold all the candidates information, generate reports and make it easy to know what steps I am in during the process. So far it's everything we have been looking for!
Pros:
The SMS Feature Easy job posting Quick Customer service Quickly able to look at the candidates profile Website to host your jobs, makes applying for the candidate easier
Cons:
The learning curve, but that comes with any software.
Data Migration is made nearly imposible
Comments: Data transfer once you would like to switch to another provider is made imposible. The CSV file they provide is not sufficient.
Pros:
Pricing is low which is attractive. depning on how you are funded, this might be the (only) reason for taking on this ATS.
Cons:
We have used it for the first couple of years, but once we required smarter solutions around workflow management and candidate experience, it was very limited. Worst side of ths ATS is that they do not provide an SQL data dump. The SCV dump they provide is scattered across multiple files , some being corrupt. They were not willing to solve this via a SQL dump. (which they can easily do)
Solid Recruiting Software for Recruiters
Comments: Comprehensive CRM database for a recruiting firm. Couldn't live without it.
Pros:
Customized Pipeline management. The database gives you multiple ways of viewing your pipeline. Combined with calendar integration, they make it easy to stay on top of your list of things to do. Loading in candidate resumes to a mailbox makes it easy to update the database. The capture tool makes it easy to load LinkedIn resumes to the database. The jobs integration to your website is easy to set up. Customer service has been great and the Price is very affordable. It's browser based and works on any platform.
Cons:
I don't have have real complaints. They use a voting system to prioritize updates. Sometimes there are a few minor features that I would like to be implemented. But they are adding new features all of the time.
Good experience.
Comments: Is my daily tool. Great!
Pros:
User friendly. Very good applicant tracking. Control Panel very helpful. I can see CATS calendar integrated with microsoft outlook. Great understanding with linkedin.
Cons:
Sometimes a little bit difficult customize some settings. I would like to inform in one shot all the applicants that are not in consideration about the end of the vacancy and it´s not possible. it would be very useful.
