When I say quickness, I am referring to how fast the tool finds results and uploaded them into the ATS (applicant tracking system). The code they have built is much better than any competitor on the market. Usability is a big plus for this software as well. Their UI is very straight forward and easy to use. They have updated their UI so it does not look old and clunky unlike some of their competitors. Broadbean integrates extremely well into other SaaS solutions in particular Bullhorn ATS. We recently moved away from Bullhorn and now only use Broadbean for a job posting tool (which works very well) and we dearly miss the candidate search functionality. > > **Cons**: Duplicate management is very tough with any resume parser. So many people use so many different styles and formats of resume, catching duplicates becomes very tough. I thought Broadbean could use some enhancement on this front. We are constantly dealing with resume entering our system that are duplicates and causing data integrity issues. If you have a messy database you might consider investing in duplication checks along with a product like Broadbean > > Broadbean has been a great partner with us. We love their product and really wish we would be able to utilize their resume search feature within our current ATS. Their Job Posting function which we currently use works without any issues. We very rarely have any issues with Jobs not posting correctly. Overall a great product that does exactly what you need it to do. ----- ### "Broadbean one of the best on the market" — 4.0/5 > **Ray** | *23 December 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy of use Functionality Broadbean multiple search Bullhorn integration > > **Cons**: Veritone billing team doesnt respond Support email better than billing but take too long. > > Ive been a customer for over 15 years. Was always the best on the market for what they offer. ----- ### "In its basic form it seems to do the job" — 3.0/5 > **Ari** | *13 November 2018* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to post jobs quickly to the paid boards from Bullhorn. If you want to post quickly to Dice, it is a must have as their is no posting integration that is native to Bullhorn > > **Cons**: The way candidates are brought into the system and some past experience we had with fields being auto populated. it may have been fixed, but we just don't use those fields for data ----- ### "Overall great for recruiter posting on job boards" — 5.0/5 > **emma** | *7 January 2025* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: been able to post to all job boards in one place > > **Cons**: the message service not been able to bulk message > > great service love the green amber red for candidates ----- ### "Decent for posting adverts to multiple sources and integrations" — 4.0/5 > **Lee** | *23 July 2020* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: No frills tool that does what it says on the tin. You can link it to your ATS / CRM, job boards and social profiles and it will push out all of your postings. Ad responses are then received to your email and tracked centrally. > > **Cons**: I never find much use for the 'CV Portal' feature where you rate the ad responses as prefer to use my email inbox where I can reply to and keep track of all responses in one place. It's also not the most advanced or fully featured tool, but that's not necessarily a bad thing to keep things simple and reliable, instead of unnecessarily complicated. > > Definitely recommend trialing it as a tool. I think it's one of the most widely used in the Agency Staffing / Recruitment industry so reliable and likely it will have the integrations that you need. No doubt that Broadbean is a time saver for posting job adverts to multiple sources - no more copy and pasting, having to remember multiple logins and you can even refresh them quickly. It's also very handy to have a record of all your old positions when you have similar ones that you can reference. Another good feature is that if you have a good integration with your ATS / CRM, then you will be able to track job board sources automatically, have the applicants linked to the position and then use the data to track ROI. Admins can manage users and permissions easily too - including allowing posting to company social networks without needing to share login details. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/126907/broadbean?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/126907/broadbean) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
