The overall experience has been great. The few times I've had problems, customer support has gotten right on it. Or billing. Or whatever department I'm dealing with. It's been helpful.

Pros

I liked the common-sense organization, the user interface, the client-friendly portal and the customer support. I loved that we could pull info directly from LinkedIn rather than manually entering everything about every candidate.

Cons

A huge draw for me was the LinkedIn information capture. Then in the last year or so, they started distancing themselves from this capture tool, identifying it as "Third party" etc. Well, I still want to be able to accurately capture everything about a candidate in the very early, funnel-filling stages. In other words, I don't want to wait till I have a resume. A huge part of presentation is showing clarity about potential candidates and working hand-in-hand with the client-friendly portal to determine the best fit and direct our efforts the best way. And that part has been broken for some time now. I can get some info, but not in Recruiter. I have to look over my shoulder at the information being distributed into Clockwork to verify accuracy. It's so critical to me, that if it's "third party," then they need to make their own and make it "First party."

The demo with [sensitive content hidden] was fab - instead of going through and showing me all the benefits he went to price which I really appreciated - the money talk was done and then I could see if it was worth investing my time to continue. His presentation was not a big sales chat but a real time demo of what my clients would see and what I would see - it was easy to follow and I was able to gauge the overall fit easily.

Pros

Managing your whole process for search work in one place saves hours of spreadsheet time, you can cross candidates over to other projects, there are so many features it's hard to find fault.

Cons

No start date filter for candidates you place

Newer, Still Working Out Kinks. Very Manual

Reviewed on 2024/01/31

Pros

I enjoyed the customization we were able to implement for our business/client needs. It got the job done after a lot of manual work. The customer support team is dedicated to improve the product and assist.

Cons

It's not a pretty product, very bland interface. We had many issues with updating status (often times a lag) and it's a very manual product (I've used better and more functional CRM/ATS products).

Solid ATS for Agency or In-house Recruiting Teams

I've searched high and low for many years to find a tolerable ATS, let alone one that is usable for the slightly unique needs of a small agency like mine, but yet is also affordable. This software seems to have been built with that in mind as it includes an easily set-up client portal and simple user interface for sharing and collaboration.

Pros

- Client portal for sharing with third parties is a bit of a rarity for ATS's and is a must have for talent agencies like mine
- Interface is simple and mostly intuitive
- Customer Support has been good over the last few years
- Not much feature-bloat, most of product is useful and necessary to the recruiting process
- Tolerable price for SMBs but can also be used at any size/stage
- Decent Google Chrome parsing tool to drop candidate's info in to the system from your web browser

Cons

- A bit bare-bones, no slick or flashy UI - just pretty straight forward recruiting software
- Limited CRM functionality; unlikely to double as both a CRM & and ATS - but does a good job at just the ATS part

Executive Search / Recruitment Software

Reviewed on 2020/03/24

The first half or my career was in tech & consulting and second half is in executive search supporting tech & consulting firms. Hence, I have considerable exposure to business software solutions from different standpoints.

The fact that I felt (and still feel) genuine joy in moving from FileFinder Anywhere to Clockwork was something I did not expect (despite my background).

Pros

- Alignment to executive search workflow / best practices; Clockwork enabled us to simplify several of our processes.
- Intuitiveness and ease of navigation.
- Efficiency in resource-intensive activities such as LinkedIn / CV parsing and querying / populating assignment long lists.
- Response speeds that support real-time discussions with clients and candidates.
- Modern, scalable and secure platform.

Cons

Looking forward to upcoming updates in Outlook / Exchange integration and the mobility solution.

Alternatives Considered

Invenias and Vincere

Reasons for Choosing Clockwork Recruiting

- FileFinder Anywhere was so slow that not only did it make real-time discussions impossible, it also meant that we didn't use much of the functionality; it slowed us down. In fact, we realised in hindsight that we were developing workarounds (such as storing documents in cloud storage and not attaching to FileFinder records). - FileFinder is comparatively heavy and cumbersome to navigate, particularly compared with Clockwork - but also in comparison with several of the other solutions that we considered.

Reasons for Switching to Clockwork Recruiting

We assessed some great alternatives (particularly Thrive and Encore), but Clockwork was the best aligned and lightest solution for executive search / recruitment by a fair margin.
