## Reviews

> **Mike** | *24 April 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use, and the ability to search and utilize my database and find possible candidates with ease.  The price is also big plus.
> 
> **Cons**: They have made a lot of improvements, and I don't always integrate them into my practices.  I need to keep up with the changes and adapt to them.
>

### "I love working with the Top Echelon people and products." — 5.0/5

> **Steve** | *11 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It works like I do. I have been using it for over three years and have only had to call tech support two or three times—that's incredible.
> 
> **Cons**: It lacks some of the features and functions of other ATS systems that I have seen in the market AND there are some very minor things that could be added that would be a huge help to the daily operation of my business.
> 
> Excellent - access to real people that live in the US and are responsive is \#1

> **Jay** | *20 March 2026* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The product continues to become more user-friendly and they have introduced a new feature where you can share on direct hire placements with other agencies.
> 
> **Cons**: There are times when I experience difficultly parsing a new resume to a candidate's profile in the system.
>

### "Love that they are always upgrading\!" — 5.0/5

> **Maria** | *6 July 2022* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most is that they added texting to the candidates as activities so when I am texting someone, it creates an activity that can be read by all.&#10;&#10;I am mostly loving the new free feature of adding jobs directly to Monster Organic and LinkedIn direct.  We've made more placements since using these features.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like that I cannot search older, archived jobs for "job descriptions."  Sometimes I want to find an older description and copy it but I have to click job by job, until I can find ones that have descriptions.
