Dice TalentSearch vs. WinSearch

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.

WinSearch works for a small recruiting company with low amounts of emails. Companies, where recruiters rely on heavy email, should avoid this due to delays and slow tech support fixes. Security and data breaches have occurred, and would negatively impact any company.

• Flexibility to be creative, i.e. can do both boolean searches as well as use intelligence searches.
• Posting jobs is easy to do and manage.
• Customer support is at a very high level, with a personal touch, (this is very rare and very much appreciated)!

• WinSearch parses resume's biographic info into its database well.
• WinSearch CRM database is user-friendly

• 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.

• Winsearch provides email which is easily overwhelmed resulting in hangups and painfully slow searches. This is fixable with workarounds, but still not worth the wait if you seek a reliable software.
• Winsearch is susceptible to hacks, and security issues. The system can go down for as long as a week as a result of a hack. The resulting interruption of business makes this software package not a good buy.

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.

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.

JobDiva has more functionality, and costs a bit more. I have done a demo of JobDiva, but haven't been an active user.

• 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.

• WinSearch database CRM is reliable and works well. Their email system negatively impacts my business. Security breaches and hacks could last 1 week and are very harmful to customers.
