Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Broadbean integrated with our CRM (Bullhorn) this allows us to post job ads to multiple websites and manage applicants all in one place. historically we used this as a separate entity but since the integration, with Bullhorn it has been such a time saver!

Pros

  • flawless integration with other systems
  • Applicant tracking
  • Multiple platform posting

Cons

  • Job description design, headers etc would be nice to have
  • tech support needs improvement - queries take too long sometimes

Most Important Features

  • CRM integration
  • Great price

Return on Investment

  • Worth the money as so much more time can now be spent on other revenue generating activities
  • tricky to set up with Xing initially and very little support
  • Needs very little maintenancer when set up

Pros

  • Broadbean allows us to post roles on job boards that we normally don't get a match on, and lets us expand our search and visibility to more candidates than ever before.
  • Extremely easy to post, detail, and edit job postings on multiple jobs boards instantly.
  • Customer service and the help center are friendly and responsive.

Cons

  • Some of the job boards that serve on Broadbean are not the best, and can sometimes reach the wrong type of candidate (background & experience level).
  • The technology needs to be updated with the new ATS changes. There hasn't been an update to the system in quite some time.
  • They could work on parsing their data better with social media outlets, like posting on Linkedin, Twitter, etc.
