Datapeople Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

The account managers are extremely professionals. They always make me feel so accomplished.

Our version isn't integrated so there is a lot of copy and pasting. Also, we like to use color in our job descriptions and that isn't an option with this software.

Streamlining job descriptions to increase candidate submissions.

-ease of use -ability to share JD with stakeholders -scoring -how words are underlined and that Data People offers suggestions -ability to include our global template -ability to sync job description directly to our ATS

i don't have much to add here. but i noticed that our intern job descriptions get really low scoring and sometimes it feels like there's not much else we can do to update the job description.

-one stop shop for job descriptions -making our job descriptions more inclusive -ability to share job description with multiple stakeholders -providing examples for our hiring managers about what to include and what not to include in their job descriptions

It's been helpful to view which terminology is considered inclusive/exclusive and edit job descriptions accordingly. It also allows us to have better conversations with hiring managers, who draft our job descriptions, on how we can create more inclusive job postings.

It would be helpful if red highlighted words/phrases were given an alternative terminology as opposed to solely suggesting to delete. Depending on the type of role, some terminology that is highlighted as exclusive is needed to describe the role.

It is enabling us to better reach our DEI goals and initiatives with unbiased and fair job postings.

I love that Datapeople simplifies job descriptions and assists with helping hiring managers understand that a lot of the information they want to put into job descriptions does not read well with candidates.

I don't like the automatic formatting setting. I typically copy and paste and put it back into my original format.

They are assisting with eliminating barriers withing job descriptions.

I continue to engage with Datapeople because it is easy to use, develops skills, and is a pillar of my Recruiting DEI strategy. I ask Hiring Managers to write their job postings (with help from their Recruiter). But because most managers are not experts at writing inclusive postings, Datapeople provides the guidance and support to help them think about their posting and what skills they most need for the role. The feedback I get from my Managers is how easy it is to learn and even fun to use. The reporting feature is excellent and helps me track what is working (and what is not). Additionally, Datapeople is my "library" of job postings. No more emailing files back and forth, no more searching google drive. Every posting is stored within Datapeople, complete with each version after edits. Datapeople works with Greenhouse so I can even open my GH reqs directly in Datapeople. Datapeople is one of my go-to tools for better a recruiting function.

I can think of anything - it really is a great solution.

Several reasons: 1. Most importantly, we use Datapeople to make our postings more inclusive 2. Datapeople is our "template" so that our postings are consistent 3. Datapeople is our "library" so that we never lose a posting or have multiple copies floating around. Similar google docs, TapRecruit supports multiple editors and tracks each users changes so you can go back to older versions if needed. But better than Google docs, Datapeople syncs directly to Greenhouse

I enjoy the fact that Datapeople helps to provide efficiencies when I receive a very long-winded job description. It' has opened my eyes to phrases and words that don't really either need to be there, or could potentially invite bias.

I wish it was 'real time' where a position posted can be edited right there in our Workday portal, and simultaneously edit the Datapeople template.

We are solving any issues of inclusivity, and calling in more applicants that actually have the experience, but may have been unsure in applying due to the verbiage originally in the job description.

Datapeople is a wonderful straightforward tool that helped us create some effective job postings. We really elevated our content by using this program! The support we receive is almost instant, patient and so helpful. Definitely recommend to any HR dept.

Some of it is very USA focused, which can be challenge to other countries.

We are using Datapeople to post our career listings- they are helping us solve the problem of bias in job descriptions.

The word prompts to replace old vocabulary with a new one

sometimes a little hard to achieve a score of above 80

Strengthening job descriptions and help make them not so wordy

- Data driven approach - Clean UI - Easy to use and get started - Syncs easily to Greenhouse - Gives me data that I can use to show ROI on making changes to the job description - Great team! - Over time, makes you better at writing job descriptions even without the software

- There are some small bugs in the editor that make it hard to edit at times - You need to refresh the page to get the counter to start up again sometimes - If you jobs have been open for too long, your data will be stale

Ensuring we have inclusive job descriptions that will diversify our candidate pipeline and ensure that we are getting qualified candidates in. Clear data that can educate hiring managers and other stakeholders instead of having to stand on your own and validate this approach.

Love that it is a great tool to make job postings more approachable by removing unnecessary Jargon and making it look cleaner and more succinct

I don't believe there is anything I dislike about datapeople

Attracting a more diverse candidate pool by creating more inclusive job descriptions/postings

I love how Datapeople helps us save and review previous job descriptions used within the organization. The prompts and guidance make revision simple, and I particularly appreciate the attention towards using specific and inclusive language to attract the best applicants.

It is hard to include enough information in the job description, while not being labeled as 'too long' in the rating. Also, some of the alternative language suggested isn't quite right.

Datapeople is helping hiring managers of all levels of experience to write strong job descriptions to attract a robust and diverse talent pool. It has simplified the work that the recruitment team needed to put in at the initial stages of role scoping significantly.

I enjoy the suggestions Datapeople provides to help make our job postings more inclusive and attract a more diverse audience.

The text box/formatting can sometimes not be very user-friendly.

Use it to grade the language of our job postings. We're creating more inclusive job postings.

1 . Provides suggestions on inclusive language and verbiage to make JDs more appealing to the candidate 2. Allows JDs to sync immediately with ATS

Nothing. This tool has been awesome to use in my day-to-day and has significantly increased my candidate pools, and I highly recommend it to any recruiter.

Having an inclusive language that appeals to a multitude of applicants. Making job descriptions easier to understand for candidates.

Ease of use, quick updates, helpful suggestions.

the boxes are a bit clunky, have to parse job description by segments vs. one copy/paste. Slows down the job posting process.

FAST Job postings through Greenhouse, inclusive language, keeping things short, sweet and to the point.

I really enjoy how user-friendly Datapeople is.

One thing that I have found that I do not like is that Datapeople does not like the word Talent Acquisition. They are constantly asking me to replace it.

It is helping to ensure that my job descriptions are unbias and will perform well which I appreciate.

This is a super easy tool to use while having an intake with a hiring manager, and they are often blown away at the results.

Sometimes there are things that it tries to correct that would be fine also.

Solving mitigating bias and helping managers write job descriptions that mean something to them and candidates.

I love how Datapeople is very easy to use and collaboration is top of mind. Throughout my time as a customer, I always felt valued by the CSM team. It's an amazing tool for high-growth companies.

Nothing major, but it's difficult to explain the ROI to executives when a company is only hiring the same positions year-round.

Datapeople helps hiring teams identify and influence the best verbiage to use during a tough job market. I saw myself going into Datapeople every day. Highly encourage every company to try it.

Suggestions are easy to identify and remember. I often find myself remembering the tips from Datapeople and carrying them into other work I'm doing.

Nothing stands out as a major dislike. Perhaps offering views on other job descriptions?

Increasing more diverse talent pools overal..

The ease of use, "dashboard" on each job description to help track progress. and the analytics for our jobs.

Can't say I have any at this time. Nor do I predict I will.

As an evidence-based practices organization, we are ensuring our job descriptions meet our DEI initiatives and the data and analysis that are provided by Datapeople, are supported by real data (live) to support our efforts.

Datapeople helps us to optimise our job ads for better performance with various audiences (particularly ensuring we are not inadvertently turning people off through poor choice of language) as well as consistency and compliance (such as including the right sort of information). It is also easy to use.

There's little not to like, but an area of improvement would be to have a clearer area for users to draft documents without cluttering the library.

Writing more inclusive job advertisements to build more diverse candidate pipelines, ensure compliance in our job ads, and make it easier to assemble high quality ones.

DataPeople is very easy to use. The scoring system for job description focuses the team on the most important changes and pushes them to make them. I can't speak to other products on the market but I have been very satisfied with it and it has met the needs of my team.

The online editor can be a bit slow for me sometimes which can make it harder to use than it needs to be. I wish it had a better integration with our ATS (Recruiterbox) but I understand why it doesn't have one.

Datapeople has helped my team write job descriptions that get more and better applicants. It's a real help to hiring managers and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from teams that have used it.

I like that each error has an explanation about the potential for bias. The different colors are also very helpful at a glance.

I wish there were more suggestions when an error occurs. At most, there are only two suggestions. Other times, the only option is to remove the error.

I'm solving an ongoing issue with job descriptions shying potential candidates away from job opportunities. I realize the importance of inclusive language, even if it seems minuscule, like understanding when not to use "best" or "positive" in a job description.

Steps to follow when completing the job description, etc

Nothing. I have seen that all is good and helpfull to anyone who uses Datapeple

Datapeple helped to avoid incomplete job descriptions and have the best candidates.

Easy to use technology with suggestions and explanations for revisions. The analytics is also super easy to use and helpful for driving accountability and tracking success. I love that we don't have to request or run super manual reports.

Creating/updating templates feels a little clunky- cannot easily move sections. I also don't love that you can't quickly turn on/off the extension in Greenhouse within the job post section- the integration makes you confirm before leaving and opens a JD pop up every time.

We are working to ensure the language is inclusive and approachable domestically as well as within new markets.

Datapeople saves a lot of work and help to improve the content of job ad texts

Nothin about datapeople tool, thank you for your great work

Datapeople saves a lot of work and help to improve the content of job ad texts

The ease of the platform. lets me know when missing information, tells to include benefits, and offers great options to describe words. i love that it tells me to eliminate words that may limit that candidate pool.

tells me that the JD is too long. I had 3 bullets about the JD but extensive details covering benefits and diversity inclusion peice that must be included.

writing job descritpions to hire the best talent

The tool is easy to use, provides immediate feedback, and coaches you along the way.

I don't always agree with the feedback. I understand we can choose to ignore or disregard suggestions but it would also be nice to have an internal lexicon.

As a company, we are focused on generating inclusive job descriptions, while still attracting the most relevant, experienced, individuals.

What I like best about Datapeople are the following: 1. Providing real time metrics that can be consumed by Hiring Teams, highlighting where there may be opportunities. 2. The UI experience - the tool is easy to navigate and use - anyone can use it!

What I dislike about the tool is that there are cases where words are flagged as not a match and it may be difficult to find words/phrases that work in their absence.

We are solving the following problems: 1. Managers creating job descriptions - Datapeople has a great UI and is easy to use. 2. Usable metrics - creating the baseline for the future of recruiting. Through our Datapeople journey we have realized that: 1. Creating job descriptions is easy. Datapeople also allows the team to review jd's in the marketplace. 2. Datapeople does the heavy lifting. The tool serves as a thought partner without realizing it!

Datapeople has helped me make all my job postings inclusive and make sure all language I include in the description is beneficial for the applicant.

Sometimes the feedback is not always useful or the words it says to delete are necessary for the specific requriements of the role.

Inclusivity, clarity and it helps me with creating new job descriptions for future roles.

The grading system is the thing I enjoy the most, being able to see your score go up (or down) based on how you phrase things is impressive. It helps me understand how important language is. I also love that it tells you exactly what you are missing in your job description, no need for guessing, datapeople is straight to the point. LOVE IT.

Sometimes there's verbiage we need to have in our job description and datapeople knocks off points based on that language, which impacts the score.
