## Reviews

### "Why you should consider Top Echelon" — 5.0/5

> **Cherice** | *May 19, 2023* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about their software is how easy it is to search for candidates, input candidates, communicate with them and clients and how all the information is stored in the system. I also LOVE their help desk. Always responds quickly and with the correct information the first time.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel the search features could be more robust.
> 
> My overall experience has been wonderful and has made my job of quickly locating candidates in the system very timely and with ease because of how their software is structured. I use it everyday, for every search.

### "Best way to track placements" — 5.0/5

> **Carol** | *April 9, 2025* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Top Echelon is the best application for tracking placements.
> 
> **Cons**: The newest changes have some issues like the Placement report doesnt show Recruiter name.
> 
> My overall experience is very positive, user friendly and makes texting directly to candidate quick and easy

-----

### "BB" — 3.0/5

> **Eric** | *October 26, 2020* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easy to use, and if you have a small company it is easy to buy into with a low amount of users. &#10;&#10;The text messaging feature is a game changer.  Very helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: The job posting tool does not get applicants.  We would get 2-3 people per week.  I had to get another subscription with Zip.  We try and import as many resumes as possible, but many do not make it through, or the resume doesn't parse.  &#10;&#10;Everything is an add-on with this software.  Which can be a benefit as well.  When I see my bill at the end of the month I really don't feel that we put $220 into this.  I wish my users utilized it more, however they don't have the time for all the importing.  I wish there was a way to actually downgrade users.  For example, my onsite doesn't enter a thing in this and just sits at a company and makes phone calls.  All I would need from her is to enter information, and import resumes if needed.
> 
> It is what it is for now...  It gets us by, but we will have to upgrade soon.  I am going to need something that has a complete staffing package that can do my payroll as well, and track all of my HR information.

> 
> **Cons**: I have had good experiences in using Top Echelon so I cannot think of a con.
> 
> Overall, a great experience. I am a fan of Training Tuesday and have often attended webinars presented by top recruiting trainers from around the country.&#10;I also like the ease and efficiency of tracking my progress with a candidate through each step of the interview process.

> 
> **Pros**: I have been using BB since 2008 and have always appreciated its simplicity and customization options. I have also tried other CRMs, and nothing compares.

> 
> My overall experience with TE has been excellent.  Customer support is always very responsive, knowledgeable, and thorough.
