Dice TalentSearch vs. Symphony Talent, now with SmashFlyX

This platform is probably more suited for small to mid-size companies that may not have super specific roles and requirements. Organizations also that may not have a large budget for these types of programs also could be a good fit as it does offer some value, but probably falls behind in the cutting edge and super competitive landscape for platforms or organizations. It's probably less appropriate for large companies or places that are investing in current and cutting edge technology or products.

SmashFly is a great tool for collecting data on candidates. It saves a tremendous amount of time with its ability to automate email campaigns. I would recommend handling the integration work on your company side so you can set-up alerts if a file fails or sftp passwords change.

• The recent update is not highlighting most of the keywords which is really annoying.
• I feel the UI should be more improved.
• Sometimes we see lots of resumes with lots of manipulated details and fake experience to get the attention.
• Sometimes most of the resumes don’t have contact details and it's difficult to get in touch with candidates.

Incentivized

• Reporting limitations when extracting large amounts of data
• Not user friendly for admins
• Best to handle the integration on the company side as SmashFly is unable to alert you if things are not working properly

I'm assuming we will keep using DICE, but Indeed and LinkedIn are starting to prove their value and strength in having candidates/consultants use their services to look for new opportunities.

Its already I mentioned it is used to search the resumes of relevant profile upon the request of clients requirement. comfortable with filters to validate the profile before the resumes open. Can be able to locate the profile which the recruiter is willing to work on the requirement. Little more costly when compared to other job portals.

Dice provides ease of sourcing candidates and is the most useful in staffing industry. However, we still recommend the team to provide older version access to the user which was much easier and flexible to use. Dice posting is the best feature in Dice. The Boolean Search feature in Dice is also very useful.

I believe SmashFly does a great job supporting their system and staying involved with their clients. Everything in the system is basically a workflow so you can create them or reachout to support for help

what works well for Dice Open Web is that it can be used internally within a company very well. the groups of jobs with same skill sets across teams can be well displayed on the web and thus candidates can apply to multiple jobs in one go. ability to customize email templates, set alerts and notifications are really 3-5 steps processes. Candidates can also track their own progress once their process starts for filling an opening in a group.

It was like night and day. Success Factors had horrible customer service and we had very limited control over the platform. When we transitioned to SmashFly, their customer service was excellent and we had complete control over the system to make any changes we needed quickly. The technical support with SmashFly is also one of the best I've seen in the business. Their turnaround time is pretty quick when compared to others

• Utilized a great deal of my hiring budget without producing any applicants.
• Used a large amount of my time with no payoff.
• Frustration with signing a contract and after payment did not receive any assistance with the traction of my job posts.

• From what I've heard, recruiters have noticed a big upswing in candidate response rate, which of course, leads to increased rates of hire.
• Some recruiters are reluctant to use smashfly because they think they're doing double effort.
