User-friendly

What do you like best? How minimalist the platform is- no additional bells and whistles- just a program that is made with recruiters in mind. What do you dislike? Sometimes the search functions are not very intuitive. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Time--wasting! Our old program was very cumbersome and it's been refreshing to have a program that works quickly and consistantly. Response from Kitty Moriwaki of The Applicant ...

Very fast paced Staffing Agency Use

What do you like best? The job posting ability is very robust. It posts on several job boards at once which is a huge time saver. What do you dislike? Sometimes we still have to keep spreadsheets because positions open and close so frequently. It's faster to change a cell in excel than in to open and close a requisition in TAM. Recommendations to others considering the product: There is frequent outages during the day for upgrades. Should be done outside standard working ...

Great Customer Support

What do you like best? I really appreciate that TAM is always responsive and able to assist. I have always worked with big applicant tracking systems in the past and there was never any customer support included in the packages. What do you dislike? It's not able to interact with our HRIS. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would recommend this product What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Keeping our ...

TAM has united our HR operations with other municipal departments!

What do you like best? Being able to share applicant information without having to print all the documents has been a blessing! What do you dislike? I dislike that I have not had time to learn all that I can regarding using TAM. Recommendations to others considering the product: I believe businesses that have a need for a Human Resource Information System should give The Applicant Manager a try. The representatives are excellent and knowledgeable, and the costs will ...

TAM Review

What do you like best? I really like how easy the integration is between TAM and the job boards. Makes posting positions so quick and easy. What do you dislike? There is no way to sort by area/zip code for candidates. Unless I "Tag" them in the system, it's too hard to manage old applicants in a geographic area. Recommendations to others considering the product: Play around in the system, you'll discover more on your own than through the Webinars. What problems are you ...

Great customer experience!

What do you like best? TAM is easy to install AND easy to use! The implementation process was quick & easy. Customer support is always able to answer my questions. I love the knock-out question options for the online app. What do you dislike? I love data, so would like a bit more on the reporting side, but I think most people would be more than happy with the reporting options. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Easy tracking of ...

Technical Recruiter

What do you like best? Ability to upload multiple documents at once, and easily see the status of a role inside a job. What do you dislike? In regards to what I dislike or what I would change, my focus would be on the search function as I find that it is rather sloppy. Also, I do not get much use from the alerts., maybe an update or self selected alerts? Recommendations to others considering the product: Affordable, reliable. Good customer service. What problems are you ...

From the Get-Go, we have had nothing but a Positive Experience

What do you like best? The responsiveness of the entire team, being willing to 'hear' our needs and come away 'understanding' what it is that our company needs to satisfy our own clients. The role TAM plays is vital to our company, from the analyst, to the developers, and the ongoing support team. I can tell they want to 'please' and they do not disappoint. What do you dislike? Honestly, I don not have any negative feedback. So far, we are so pleased with TAM. What problems are ...
