Great way to find motivated hungry recruitment agents you may never have found.

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: 2 new recruiters I would never have spoken to.

Pros:

I like the bidding system where recruiters bid and pitch for your business. I ended up getting bids from smaller recruitment companies who were specialised in that area and you could tell from the effort they put into their pitch that they would work hard on your open positions.

Time saving applicant tracking system

5.0 last year

Comments: Very good, great customer service, any problem is resolved on the same day.

Pros:

Occupop is easy to deploy. We had roles posted on the same day of purchase. Also easy to use, both for admins but also end-users.

Cons:

Sometimes it creates multiple candidate profiles even if the email address is the same.

4.0 last year

Comments: overall good

Pros:

looking up what stage the position was at

Cons:

Interface at times not user friendly, when advertising for multiple roles can be a bit confusing useful to have something to identify if a CV has been posted for several jobs within the company.

Glad i switched over to Occupop.

5.0 last year

Pros:

I like most how easy it is to use. you can have the best system but if it is hard to use, managers won't touch it. It used to be like pulling teeth asking my managers to use our old system. They always questioned where the candidate was in the process, did they accept the position, asked for feedback on the initial call. With Occupop, I don't have to worry about all the questions/email update requests, etc. anymore and it has saved me so much time.

Cons:

I wish i could call into customer service and the dashboard analytics were more customizable.

Pros:

I find this programme so easy to use, it is so easy to track applicants. The candidate scores have been very accurate to date.

Cons:

Sometimes we get applications from abroad, I am unaware if there is a facility to narrow the applicant range...

4.0 last year

Comments: has been great to use and super user-friendly. Anyone can pick up in my absence

Pros:

Very user-friendly ATS system and would recommend it for any small businesses looking for a system to streamline this recruitment.

Cons:

very difficult to implement multiple interview processes. The data and reporting do not offer the raw and detailed data required for being data-driven. Limited integration offerings

Recruitment made easy

4.0 last year

Comments: Occupop has saved us time and money, making a complex field of recruitment options much more easy to track and manage,

Pros:

Pulling multiple recruitment channels into one tool makes recruitment a lot easier to manage.

Cons:

Changing interview attendees - when managers have to swap their schedules around - not currently possible - this would be very useful as it happens a lot.

Good for a new startup product, room for improvements but happy with experience so far

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: It has improved our resourcing procedures and streamlined some elements, including removing some of the more manual elements of the work.

Pros:

Relatively easy to you, some very useful features such as interview scheduling, automated templates etc. which are all easy to use

Cons:

Missing some key features, such as ability to search through candidates with keywords, system can be slow moving between profiles, reporting needs improvement such as the ability to export reports etc.

Comments: Its been a massive help as we try to grow staff numbers in UK and Ireland

Pros:

We have been using Occupop for a few years, we advertised up to 60 jobs at any time, and find the system to be perfect for our needs, easy to use, easy to train colleagues and its been something we couldn't have done without.

Cons:

Would like a text sms system, this would help us keep in touch with applicants

Pros:

Occupop and me

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: The Team [SENSITIVE CONTENT] are fantastic. Always on hand always happy to help, no question is silly and extremely knowledgeable.

Pros:

Easy to advertise, very easy to track and very easy to navigate

Cons:

I don't like how the advertisements look, the font and layout doesn't always look professionally written. I would like the 2 choices when setting up a screen call or Interview in the templates, currently it says Interview. This would be most helpful in showing how busy the recruiter is. Set alerts after a certain period of time the user is sent an alert to say a certain document has not been returned. Connect our company LinkedIn with Occupop - CV to go directly into Occupop. When sending a message CV to the Hiring Manager I would like to be able to send to several hiring managers at the same time. I would like the software to remember the email addresses of external people I would like invited team members list to come up alphabetically not jumbled I would like a test Job Site for users to view new forms/paperwork etc. I have other ideas I believe would be of benefit to new Occupop or potential Occupop purchasers

A solid option for ATS

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

From the initial adoption of the system, things ran very smoothly. The clean and simplistic user interface ensures staff can pick it up very quickly. Very customisable to meet your needs. Workflows that make sense can be created. Posting to multiple job sites takes no time at all and can also be arranged through the system. The option to send personalised emails out in bulk is also useful.

Cons:

Would like to see integration with HR systems if at all possible.

Review

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall it has been a good experience so far.

Pros:

It is very user friendly, and well laid out.

Cons:

One aspect for us is we have strict vetting and screening to adhere to being in security. We find the application aspect difficult as we would need 5 years worth of employment history with no gaps, so therefore would love the option on the application section to not just be one large text box but that they are unable to continue past without completing a full 5 year work history. As we find with just one large text box people are not completing it accurately and bypassing it.

Recruiting Made Easy

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: Its my go to place for recruitment now - and at the price how could it not be?

Pros:

I like that the software is user friendly, i also like once i post my job to bid recruit - its duplicates on all job boards applicable to me (I chose at my leisure) - Furthermore, its tell you exactly which site the applicant applied through - generating recruitment trends in your given sector. Its interesting to see the different level roles and which site is more popular for the different roles. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dashboard, all the stats I need at a glance, and I can clearly tell how well the roles are performing, a recent feature added which i also LOVE is the candidate questions; an applicant cant apply without answering mandatory questions (if you chose to set this feature, and btw its completely able for customization, eliminating mundane questions automatically and allowing you to completely personalise)

Cons:

I would love if a sector of activity catagory was added in the company profile section - right now we are listed as engineering - Construction and Trades would be a good sector to add ;)

BidRecruit - A fantastic tool!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: From the moment we subscribed to BidRecruit, we haven't looked back. It takes the pain out of recruiting. We had another account with a different jobs website and due to the success of BidRecruit in finding candidates for our organisation, we have decided to phase the other website out in 2019. It's also pleasing to see a small company grow rapidly, a very deserved success!

Pros:

- Ease of use - Helpful and friendly service from the support team - Reliability - Value for money - Ease of feedback - Compliance with GDPR

Cons:

Nothing. I honestly couldn't fault the software!
