    Chose Crelate
    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

    Big Biller is well suited for pipeline maintenance and tracking. It is not as appropriate when the business is more stagnant and pipeline tracking is not necessary.

    Pros

    • When you search for candidates in a big database, and want to reach them all at once via email. Big Biller provides you with the platform to build a database.
    • Big Biller provides you the option to select candidates within a certain region of the country or even within a certain mile radius from a city or zip code.
    • Big Biller allows you to narrow down searches to candidates who have completed certain Educational levels.

    Cons
    Top Echelon
    • I'd make sure that when trading partners re-post TE colleagues' jobs that the compensation information isn't removed.
    • Make it easier to report the placement of a colleague's applicant, who was never on Big Biller and/or was associated with a job order on Big Biller. A General Placement Reporting form. If it already exists, make it easier to find.
    • Don't know if it's possible, but find a way to stop candidates from applying for the same job over and over and over again. I've had one candidate in particular, who keeps applying for my job via every other recruiter, who has reposted my Job Order. He is overseas and he has bombarded me with his applications for my job. I can't consider him, and I've even emailed him to stop, but he is still applying for the job. I'm beginning to think he isn't real and that his applications are actually a kind of algorithm from some kind of phishing or hacking effort.

    • Interface isn't great - there's a lot of clicking around required that I wish was streamlined
    • This isn't a self-explanatory platform - you have to dig around a while before you figure out how to use some features, like the filtering of contacts, for example. There's a place that you'd think you filter, but that actually changes the contacts list instead.
    • It often crashes and you have to sign out and sign back in for it to work again.

    I would consider using Big Biller again, but they would have to make some technology changes. There are many features that come standard with most of their competitors that are not available with Big Biller.

    Support is near-instantaneous and personal. The tech support team is small, which means I always know who I am talking with, and they know me.

    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.

    I choose BB over other ATS systems for 3 reasons - 1) Most of the other systems didn't have an integrated business development system and 2) BB provided great training and customer service during the initial trial and afterward. Lots of help getting started, ongoing training and support. 3) Constant updates - BB listens to its customers and when we ask for something to be tweaked, they have responded with updates.

    • Crelate has allowed me to customize my recruiting process for business development. This will be a great ROI moving forward.
    • Crelate links all candidates to the company that they work for. This is extremely important to quickly identify profiles in the database with the companies that they work for. Sounds simple but very important!
    • Quickly interfaces with LinkedIn to important candidates. This makes importing candidates quick and easy!
