SlideRoom Reviews

I really like how intuitive the platform is. You don't have to go around searching for something that you need

It does seem a little basic. It gets the job done but I'd prefer something with a little more gumption

SlideRoom gives us a platform to fully apply ourselves and connect with others in a way that other platforms can't give us.

Easy user interface, layout/format, ease of finding what I need

Rating system is a bit challenging to use for evaluating candidates; cannot see ratings for other candidates while reviewing a single candidate's application

I believe it is highly customizable, from what I understand from the people who have designed applications that I have reviewed - so this is a plus! It is also easy to add users.

Job/program applications mostly - very easy to use

We integrate our SIS into the platform and use SlideRoom for the application, the review process and the decision making process. Our reviewers have every element they need to make a decision in SlideRoom.

No suggestions for improvement thus far.

When considering SlideRoom, start building from scratch. Try not to retrofit outdated reviewing processes into a new system. Re-articulate your goals and build a process from scratch that fits snugly into a sophisticated application reviewing tool. Make the system work for your needs, but don't lose track of what those end-goals are based on what you used to do. We tended to, at first, to complicate things. Over time, we began simplifying our process based on the leverage of simple tools.

collaboratively reviewing and making decisions on application materials and multi-media portfolios.

The best part of Slideroom is the shared reviewing/rating process. It makes it easy to organize, divvy, review and rate applications. Commenting is good and the overall basic organization of filing all forms is relatively simple and easy to use.

The form portion of the application is extremely limited. The form tools are very basic, does not have the ability to shorten or arrange the width of the questions per page and is just not dynamic overall. It would be great if there were conditions and triggers allowed and better layout options.

When reviewing hundreds of applications with different committees its important to be able to organize and divvy up the apps. Seeing the different levels of ratings, for example, first tier, second tier, etc is also very important. Slideroom does this well.
