Broadbean Reviews

The ability to post jobs quickly to the paid boards from Bullhorn. If you want to post quickly to Dice, it is a must have as their is no posting integration that is native to Bullhorn

The way candidates are brought into the system and some past experience we had with fields being auto populated. it may have been fixed, but we just don't use those fields for data

been able to post to all job boards in one place

the message service not been able to bulk message

All in one plane posting and integrated with our cts

We had a few challenges when we wanted to connect with some boards which were not adjust integrated

I love the ability to integrate Broadbean into our current CRM. It was very easy and has been reliable ever since implementation with no downtime at all to get the tool implemented and ready to use

I don't like the fact that sometimes the notifications for CVs submitted don't come through. This can have a negative impact sometimes but often I check the tool regularly any way so I pick up on these things and catch them before it's too late.

This product allows for the admins to do just about everything on your own. The integration with Salesforce is nice as well.

Adding the ability for admins to bulk add new users would be a great feature that is lacked now.

I love the website design and how easily accessible it is. The green and white colors of the web page are very consistent with the logo which I liked to see. As a college student in my last year, it makes finding a job so much easier with its wide network of employers.

This software could be a bit faster, for it was lagging a lot throughout my user experience. That deterred me from using this product more often. However, if things were a little more user friendly in terms of speediness, I would rely on this website much more.

Once set up it saves hours of work and is very simple to use.

Can be a little costly for what it does

Ease of use is what took our company from Daxtra to Broadbean. The user-friendliness of Broadbean was much better than competitors. Our user found fewer issues with the integration with our ATS. The concept of shortlisting matched out compnay terminolgy as well, which made training much smoother.

Support can tend to point the finger at the other vendors. Since Broadbean deal with all the job boards, we tend to see that they would alwasy point the finger at the other vendors when there are issues.

Simple integration with major job boards and the company website, allowing us to post to multiple sites in one action. The software also, thanks to it's integration with the CRM, pulls information directly from the database to create detailed posts.

A more interesting UI might make the experience better for users with easy to see analytics for job board success.

I love the ease of the platform and it being able to integrate with my CRM, because of my set up I barely even know that I'm leaving my CRM. Which is great and I stay in one ecosystem not having to jump around.

It is a bit pricy compared to the other platforms out there.

If you use more than one Job Board, this software will save you time. First used this in 2015, and the best feature which we used all the time was to post how Job Adverts on Broadbean, and Boradbean will post/advertise you job across all of the Job Boards that you use.

Without this you would usually have to go to each Job Board and post your advert which can be extremely time consuming if you are using 3 or more Job Boards which a lot of Recruitment companies do.

Nothing really to complain about with Broadbean. Occasionally I had problems with the Software freezing on me, but this was not a re-occurring issue. Also, if you do have problems with the Software it can be a nightmare to reach Customer Service.

The fact that you can easily reach a number of platforms from one place when posting, meaning that you ultimately spend less time on marketing.

The interface is very outdated, and it is not very functional and you can achieve the bare minimum.
Still works, but could be improved hugely.

I love how quickly you can post to 10+ sites at once. Overall the site is easy and intuitive for all of our users.

Some of the functionality of Indeed.com is lost when accessing through Broadbean (nothing major though)

Does what it needs to do.
Multipost jobs
Search multiple databases at once.
Save time
Expensive compared to other suppliers

The customer service is diabolical!
Miss-out on some candidates if you don't always search direct.
Always getting things wrong.
Expensive.

Easy and simple integration with existing software.

could use a little more functionality, but the company is very receptive to enhance features as a whole or customize

I absolutely hate this program. It does not implement jobs the way I need it to and I find myself having to individually set up jobs.

Does not have ease of use features. Most of the time it is a complete waste of my time to go on the site.

The applications of system dynamics in this software is very easy! We have learned how to apply system dynamics in school, and it is very easy to learn and implement policies using vensim.

The fact that students are unable to fully utilize the benefits of Vensim as we had to use the trial version. It would be better if we have gotten a year or two of trial for the full version and use Vensim to its full capabilities!

Helps to make effective decisions and scenario analysis

Slows down the system at certain times of we perform complex tasks

nothing

Very slow to implement (3 months) so don't get in a hurry. Also, very very tedious and labor intensive process for getting all the "free" websites setup in advance which you have to do (not broadbean).

The best feature of broadbean in my opinion is the ability to integrate into CRM. The tool is very reliable and user friendly as well. It is very straightforward to use.

There are some kinks with duplicate resumes that the tool has not picked up on. Also, sometimes the notifications do not work. The auto populated fields are also wonky sometimes.

Powerfully integrates the concept of multi-posting

Inconsistency with the overall look and feel of the app.
