Review Summary

User reviews of Akken Cloud highlight its strengths in candidate management, organization, and ease of use. Users appreciate its user-friendly interface, robust search function, and ability to track candidate history. However, some users express dissatisfaction with the platform's dated design, slow loading times, and limited integration capabilities.

I love the fact that it is user-friendly, easy to use. I also like that it has a alot of features. It truly is an all-in-one system. The cutomer service is great as well!

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

Sometimes the system glitches and I am not always able to get a respresentative on the phone when I call, but they do communicate well via email. I would like to see more availbility from the team to actually jump on a call especially for time sensitive issues.

What problems is AkkenCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to run all of our departments through one system instead of several different systems. Before AkkenCloud, we had COATS, which was an ancient system that was not convenient for our company. AkkenCloud has been a great transition.

"Smart Investment"
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

The thing I like best about Akken is its available parsing feature. I can select a candidate's resume I recently received and the parsing feature pulls out the pertinent information such as the individual's name, phone number, email, and job history and put the relevant info into the correct fields for me which saves me time in the overall process.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

The thing I dislike about Akken is that sometimes when the information is parsed out of a resume such as a phone number is alternating which phone number field it goes to which makes it harder to look up in the future. Also sometimes the parsing feature switches an individual's first and last name when the names both sound like first names which can be frustrating looking up in the future if you didn't initially notice/ realize it.

What problems is AkkenCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

AkkenCloud solves the problem of keeping resumes and job orders in order and updated. Akken allows for its users to not only save resume and job order information but also provides its users with the ability to associate certain people with certain job orders which makes it easier to reference back to at a later date.

"AKKEN: A Phenomenal Program!"
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

I like that the program is very user friendly and easy to navigate to search for clients and update client information.

It is very easy to learn how to use the program especially for first timers.

I like that we can use the program to set reminders which makes it easier to keep track of clients' files in case we need to meet a deadline.

I like that we can document notes and that notes cannot be deleted. It is an easy way to communicate about a clients through the program.

I like that you cannot delete notes from the candidate's account.

Applicants can easily be tracked on the platform.

We can run reports for expiring credentials, which helps us

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

It would be helpful to have a FAQ page or Help Tab within the program in case a user needs to figure out how to use the program for a specific purpose.

Having tab to place a ticket if users are experiencing issues with the program.

If the program is scheduled to undergo maintenance, an email should be sent to all users.

I find it would be helpful if we could open two candidate accounts at the same time to document notes. Sometimes having multiple windows open causes the notes to post to the incorrect candidate. You cannot delete notes and in this case not being able to do that is not a helpful feature.

When running the report for expiring credentials, you cannot export a report to excel sheet. instead you have to save as a pdf, which makes it difficult to read the information.

Recommendations to others considering AkkenCloud:

Great program for companies needing to provide credentialing services.

What problems is AkkenCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to easily communicate with clients and send necessary documentation to be completed via docusign. The documents can be sent directly from AKKEN instead of having to send an email.

An email can be sent to multiple clients if needed.

Coworkers can document notes to keep track of progress on an account.

The program can hold documents on file, allowing us to work purely digitally instead of having to waste paper.

you can set reminders to follow up for a candidate or to schedule a meeting.

You can also create invites for people to join a meeting.

You can setup appointments for important events.

"It can be very useful if used right. You can find all the information you need on a candidate."
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

It is super easy to find what you are looking for regarding a candidate

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

You can get lost in the system, and there is a lot of steps just to do one process and if you miss one, it can be difficult correcting

Recommendations to others considering AkkenCloud:

Take notes if you are just starting and know that if you follow along, it will be the most straightforward system to navigate through. It is always helpful to leave notes and post to job orders, so we know where a potential candidate is/has been. Start and End dates are very important as well regarding employment verifications we get asked.

What problems is AkkenCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can keep up with my employees and reflect what they are saying with the notes we enter from the company

"AkkenCloud has allowed our business to grow with it's features and ease of use."
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

User-friendly platform and paperless onboarding helps us reach more candidates than we were able to in the past. Multiple features that allow us to streamline a lot of our existing processes for our internal employees, such as espense reports, employee reviews, and payroll. AkkenCloud has shown outstanding customer service and alway been there to help with an issue in a short amount of time.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

Multiple steps to hire an employee..... I'm sure for some business models, this is needed and is usefull. However, for our needs, it seems that there are too many steps to take an employee from applicant to employee.

Recommendations to others considering AkkenCloud:

If you want a dependable, professional hiring software, go with AkkenCloud

What problems is AkkenCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before AkkenCloud, we were not able to send paperless documents to candidates. Being able to post job orders in AkkenCloud and have them automatically post to job board sites has been excellent and keeps us from having to post the same job on multiple websites

"World Class Service with a penchant for Excellence!"
What do you like best about AkkenCloud?

The AKKEN platform provides efficiency & ease of Candidate portfolio submissions for Client job requisitions.

What do you dislike about AkkenCloud?

they refuse to pay us to use their platform. *laughter*

What problems is AkkenCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dramatically improved placement statistics. We have been with AKKEN for a long long time. Then, for a short while we were seduced away by a competitor. What a nightmare! We've returned to AKKEN & they welcomed us back with a warmth that we truly appreciated. The AKKEN support team, combined with the tools inherent in their platform, make for a pleasant, User-Friendly environment. Together we're planning to break our all-time sales record in 2021.
