candidate.fyi Reviews & Product Details

Candidate.fyi has changed our candidate experience game. It allows us to get curated EVP , 'Life At' & interview prep content directly to candidates, which keeps them both engaged and fully informed of what it means to work at Nintex at every interview stage. It helps TA by ensuring candidates have information and a clear interview path without manually sending over all the information via email. I also like that candidates can meet their interviewers before every interview and learn more about them. The pulse score data we receive is also useful as we can keep a real, live pulse on how interviews are performing and which stages/roles may be falling down in terms of candidate experience.

Nothing else compares. Candidate.fyi is easily the best scheduling tool I have ever used. The added portal and feedback features also provide an unmatched experience for candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have thoroughly enjoyed both working in the candidate.fyi platform and partnering with their incredible team. From day one, their hands-on and thoughtful implementation process stood out—it was one of the smoothest, most supportive onboarding experiences I’ve ever had. Their team continues to be highly engaged and responsive, making them a true partner rather than just a vendor.

The tool itself is intuitive, beautifully designed, and incredibly easy to use for both candidates and internal recruiting teams. Their attention to detail is unmatched; they’ve curated every part of the platform to create an ideal experience for every user. We’ve received amazing feedback from candidates about their experience with the portal—it has completely elevated our recruiting process and has been a game-changer for us.

One of the features we love most is their powerful pulse engine for candidate feedback. We’re seeing response rates above 50%—a massive leap from what we’ve seen with other tools. This has given our team invaluable insights and allowed us to continuously improve the candidate experience.

We also really value that candidate.fyi is a growing, innovative company that moves quickly and adapts to their customers’ needs. Their combination of an outstanding product and world-class support has made them an easy choice for us, and we could not be happier with our decision.

If you want a scheduling tool that truly transforms the candidate experience and comes with a team that feels like an extension of your own, look no further than candidate.fyi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about candidate.fyi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Candidate.fyi have innovated the candidate experience and scheduling space pretty seamlessly. Before, there was no easy way for candidates to visualize their entire hiring journey, see who they would meet, and for Talent teams to consolidate all hiring resources into a central hub. The portals have allowed our teams to capture real-time feedback that helps our teams know what’s working and what needs to improve. Without these insights, it would have been really difficult to know. Our response and engagement rates improved dramatically in a very short time. We saw the data speak for itself in terms of impact. Their scheduling product has also been a game-changer in automating the complex scheduling workflows our team handles. It’s simple, saves time, works effectively, and keeps improving, which our team highly appreciates. Working with the candidate.fyi team has been fantastic. They are serious, product-first, listen to the end user’s perspective, and truly partner with companies that are deeply committed to technology innovation, scale and next generation candidate experience, from onboarding through to implementation. It’s been a pleasure working with candidate.fyi, and can recommend them if you're on the lookout for a solid scheduling and CX platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Candidate.fyi played a helpful role in elevating the candidate experience at Thrive Market during a time of rapid scaling and increased hiring volume.

Manual Setup Process: Portal creation was largely manual, requiring significant effort per candidate, which offset time savings.

Slow Time to Value: Given the operational overhead and competing priorities, we weren’t able to dedicate the bandwidth required to fully realize the tool’s ROI.

Not Scalable for Our Team Structure: Without automation or deeper integration with our ATS, it became difficult to justify the time investment required to maintain it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

candidate.fyi has been a game-changer for our team. What used to be a time-consuming, manual scheduling process is now fast, automated, and incredibly polished. The platform handles everything from recruiter screens to complex panel interviews—with real-time progress tracking that gives our team full visibility into every step. The automation behind the scenes is incredibly smart and the candidate portals are polished and professional. Our team especially loves the transparency into scheduling progress.

That I didn't use it earlier. The amount of time it has saved us is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Candidate.FYI has the best customer service out of all the recruiting tools I've used - they genuinely hear you, work with you, and develop product solutions to solve longer-term issues. Candidate.FYI also has a lot of generally smart features that perform equally or better than some top competitors. Lastly, the candidate.fyi portals are SMART! These bring an advantage to the product that other companies can't/don't compete with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's still growing, and the scheduling features are relatively new compared to it's original portal product so there are some bumps in the road in transitioning from a more well known, better integrated tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it engages our candidates with the hiring process, and that it saves time for our recruiters and hiring managers by answering questions they didn't even know they had. The portals have been very easy to set up, and we have received a lot of positive feedback from candidates and recruiters. The support is top-notch. Our feedback is listened to and any issues we might have are solved almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislike is a strong term - there are a few minor tweaks (like being able to sort lists on the admin side) but nothing major. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone who has led recruiting teams and recruiting operations this is one of the most impactful platforms I've used in years. Once set up the platform becomes really easy to use and maintain. Candidates love it - I've had multiple candidates who have reached out or mentioned specifically how the portal has helped them prepare for interviews and shows that the company cares about candidates and employees.

For such a small company I've received some of the best customer support I've had in a while. The founders are really responsive and proactive in making sure we're getting the most out of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is some automation that is missing but hopefully in development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
