Kallidus Recruit Reviews

The support desk and the personal service. The system is also user friendly.

Some of the reports could be formatted a little better.

This is a very good system with excellent support from the Kallidus team

Integration via API with our SAP system, meaning saves time for a number of teams. We are more productive due to this.

The system is really intuitive, it's all self-explanatory with little training for Hiring Managers needed.

I would prefer if the candidates were in a bigger box when you load a vacancy. There's a bit of a faff to process a candidate through, having to add interview series first is a bit of a pain but not anything major.

Slicker process

The Recruit product can be used as-is with minimal development work or tailored to the specific needs of your business. The design is user-friendly, meaning managers can start using it with little or no training needed to create or approve a new vacancy. Our candidate's experience is improved, and they receive regular updates as they move through their recruitment journey. The back end of the system provides access to lots of information for reporting, and it's easy to get a quick overview of vacancies and candidates via the dashboards. You have control over each aspect of the recruitment process and can change everything from the wording and timing of the various automated emails to the frequency of manager reminders to ensure everyone is getting the most out of the system. The ability to link up with agencies/job boards, store interview notes, send documents from the system etc takes away lots of the manual processes that we had in place to manage various aspects outside of our previous system and has streamlined the recruitment process for us.

There are lots of stages included in the system that a candidate could move through to cover off every eventuality which can look a bit daunting to a hiring manager, but you can skip through these you dont necessarily have to move a candidate to each one. The use of the phrase 'Requisition' throughout the system can be a bit confusing however, this is being replaced with 'Vacancy' as part of a system upgrade over the coming weeks (for all customers I believe), so wont be an issue for us.

We are now able to remove a number of spreadsheets that we had to put in place to keep track of candidates' progress. We also have a more robust sign off process for new vacancies which includes all of the relevant information needed by the various departments meaning that once a vacancy request is submitted, it's signed off much quicker and the role can be advertised much faster, all whilst keeping the various departments including Finance in the loop. We now have one place for all candidate information, including the relevant documentation (CVs, interview notes, job specs, interview questions, maps to site, offer letters etc) and are able to produce some really detailed reports which we'll start seeing the benefit of later in the year once we have more data in the system.

I like the bulk actions, the fact that the system can be used for mass recruitment purposes. API is awesome for automatization. The team is very supportive and answers quickly to our needs. The self-service is amazing! We enjoy the fact that there is a separate platform in which Agencies can work directly in Kallidus, add candidates, move them through the stages. I like the fact that Hiring Managers are always involved in the process and have the ability to track and take actions on the candidates. The Security Groups are very well done. The reporting fields are suitable for any type of report, no matter how detailed and complex it is. You can see if you have any duplicates. The application form can be customized to your preference. You can use the same platform for multiple countries and work together in the same system, store data in one friendly system. The e-mail templates have merge fields that can help send e-mails to multiple candidates and still feel like a customized personal e-mail.

I can't assign candidates to recruiters (only to vacancies). It doesn't have time-zones implemented yet, therefore we need to use a different scheduling tool. Cannot brand different e-mail templates according to our needs. So far cannot connect it directly to my reporting dashboard, but that will change this year. There need to be more self-service options in the system. It loads pretty slow sometimes.

Make a list of all your requirements, recruitment stages, questions to each interview phase, outcomes, and reasons for each interview phase, e-mail templates, make sure to create a standard process that is clear for all your recruitment team, it will help with reporting. Try not to make any workarounds, it will eventually do more harm than good. Minimize as many clicks as possible for each process. Keep it simple for everyone. Hire an ATS administrator and reporting analyst, it will save you a lot of time and money.

We have a very complex recruitment process, a lot of stages and Kallidus helped us adapt the system to our needs. We also have 100+ recruiters working on it, each team has different processes and we can all align to the same system. We have made automatic onboarding processes in Kallidus. The Broadband Testing and language assessment platforms are integrated and there are more and more optimizations we made throughout the years working with them.

Customer service and system is easy to use

The user manuals can be lengthy, that being said they pretty much cover everything

Kallidus Recruit helps us to emphasise our employer branding, the careers website looks and feels the same as our main website so the flow is much smoother.

How easy it is to move around system and how clear it is to understand each part of the system and how to use it.

Nothing, I enjoy working on this system and it works well every time.

Use this system it is a easy and well structured system that is easy to follow and makes work so much easier.

Solving problems for candidates. I have realised the benefits of using it and working along side colleagues to help candidates with their experience. Very easy system to use. Good layout very clear to understand.

The duplicate function is incredibly useful, barely any system errors compared to other ATS, nice and easy to use, very logical

It's very hard to find anything wrong most of the time - we have experienced Kallidus loading/timing out before but this was at one time. Kallidus also crashes if you use the < and > symbols which I assume is down to HTML, but it would be very useful if we could copy and paste candidate email addresses straight from Outlook as it would save some time

Helping us process a very high number of applicants in a bulk easy way

.That you have the facility to build your own workflows and that is user friendly

Have not come across any downsides of using the platform

Effective management of applications

.Informative and bespoke

reporting tool very good

More training is required post implementation

can be difficult to navigate

The Kallidus system is straight forward to use and often, any issues, have a simple solution. Just a matter of learning.

Difficulty updating User profiles. Often the error message is not clear as to what the issue is and it can take some time to resolve.

Allowing Store Managers to have control over their own recruitment without heavily impacting on their time with regards to time.
