Sure Sandra - www.smartsearchonline.com, you can sign up for a free demo. Or click thru to my recruitingblog profile & you can see some of our recent PR etc. SmartSearch is fast and easy since 1986, certainly not as cheap as CATS and other relative newcomers - but we give a small recruiting firm the same recruiting business infrastructure & power tools on the base system as your largest competitors.

Rachel is the one who cracks me up - instead of calling Sandra about her software she posts her sales pitch here. Wonder why I didn't think of that myself? I must be one of the thick sales reps.

Sandra,<br />
<br />
You crack me up! Your quote about hooker software had me laughing all morning long. Thanks for taking the time to write such great comments. Taking your advice from earlier, I've spent the last few days redesigning our website to emphasize product differentiation. Let's hope people like it and it makes sense to them.<br />
<br />
Best of luck to you in your recruiting efforts and watch out for the over zealous "rahreps."<br />

Hi Sandra,<br />
I can completely understand your frustration. Sometimes I can't believe how thick sales reps are; the more you bug me, the less likely I am to listen to you. It's like verbal junk mail. In any case, I might suggest you check out CATS Applicant Tracking System (<a href="http://catsone.com">catsone.com</a>) if you're still interested in an ATS. We're a tiny company in Minnesota, have no sales reps, and offer a complete demo on our website (no registration needed). You can also sign up…

No calls, no using up your time trying to force your hand. If I had to name one unique feature, it would be that we have all the components and great features of expensive ATS' but at a fraction of the price. Hopefully this is useful info!

I think the biggest lesson I've learned is that I need to do a better job of product differentiation. I was thinking about it today and our product has one key difference then every other ATS I have seen. However, as a designer I have done a poor job of showing why Credentify is different then the other ATS systems out there. I my design failed to highlight that one key feature that makes us different, not to mention it's the feature that lead us to start Credentify.<br />

Mark, with all due respect, you might want to hire a sales & marketing person with industry experience and contacts who already knows the answers - hard to be an expert designer, marketer and sales person all rolled into one. How much time can you divide between learning, product development/maintenance, and sales, not to mention servicing existing clients who call in with questions or need training/tech support?<br />

<br />
And when you figure out what the most cost-effective way to market an ATS is, I hope you'll share that with the rest of us (now I'm being sarcastic, sorry - truth is, there is no pat answer because it's a moving target).<br />
<br />
Jill has given you one clue, and that's you'll need to figure out what your differentiators are and come up with compelling reasons why your product is a better choice for whoever your target market is.<br />

Visit www.ere.net - plenty of recruiting pundits hang out there & contribute content. Pay attention to the advertising. Join www.shrm.org and get the magazine - participate in your local chapter, if you're in a city I'm sure there is one.<br />

Hey Mark - This post just stuck out for me. Recruiters are a special group of people who know what they want :-) Without going into a sales pitch, What is the one thing that makes your ATS stand out from the rest?<br />
<br />
FYI - I am not in the market for an ATS - just curious.

23 or 24 calls is just plain wrong. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. I'm trying to figure out a ways to start generating traffic to Credentify website. It 's a hard task and even harder since I'm new to the HR and the recruiting community. I don't want to spam sites with links back to my site. My goal is to learn about the recruiting and HR community and develop relationships and have conversations.<br />

<br />
I'm not a fan of the way a lot of companies approach sales. I hate getting numerous telemarketing phone calls during the day. I would never do that to anyone, and I wish they wouldn't do it to me. However, you have to spread the word about your product. I'm not sure what the most effective way to do that is.<br />
<br />
But, I do know I need to understand what recruiters and HR professionals go through and how they operate (and every now and again throw in a shameless plug for my ATS). That's why I joined this community. The more I learn, the better ATS I can design.<br />

LOL, I'm happy to NOT be one of the 23 or 24 pests who hit Sandra's voice mail this morning.<br />
<br />
Just goes to show you how hungry for biz some of the ATS vendors are. SmartSearch has been around for 20 yrs so most of our new business happily comes from our network, referrals and former customers - as well as scaling up our solution with various add-on components as our clients' business grows.<br />
<br />
So dear Mark you see what you're up against?
