Ashby vs. Crelate

The reporting in Ashby is top notch. You can create reports which then connect to dashboards. You can present data in a way that is understandable and easy to digest to members across the team and control who can access and make edits to them. Very useful especially when presenting to leaders. The support team is also very prompt with their responses and will take the time to send video recordings on how to take a specific action.

Crelate Talent is well suited for applicant management. It also works functionally well with other job boards and websites such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc. Crelate Talent seems to be mainly used for a mid- to large-scale business rather than a small business, for an applicant tracking system, as the management features work best with an existing candidate pool.

It works, but not sure that it's the best/we might try out alternatives first.

Usually the Crelate support is very responsive and quick to fix any problems that arise. I've personally seen emails of the threads where Crelate support was quick to resolve problems and act courteously while doing so. While I have never called their line, it seems that their phone support is also well experienced.

Ashby is more robust after moving away from Greenhouse.

My two favorite systems are Crelate and Recruitee.

• From my experience, Crelate is the best full-service database because it allows you to track Business Development and candidate activity
• Recruitee is very effective as an applicant tracking system

• Can more easily organize our candidates and we have a lot of info at our fingertips - this translates to quicker processes which is positive
• We keep all our notes on Crelate - very useful for the whole team to see
• We have multiple team members scheduling so it really helps to see all the emails that have gone out, to ensure there's no overlap
