Great signal to noise ratio
What do you like best?
A-List offers the right set of selection filters for the problem domain, and has found a way to encourage users to actually fill in those fields so we're not just filtering on garbage. This helps to quickly narrow down to the set of relevant candidates. The chat is pretty good and lightweight candidate management is helpful.
What do you dislike?
The "years of experience" filter is not very useful... it counts years of experience in *anything*, not (for example) in Software Engineering. So the guy who spent 4 years as a customer service rep and then learned software engineering has "7 years of experience", which isn't helpful if I'm looking for an experienced engineer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's expensive but cheaper than a recruiter and probably worth it!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We're hiring an engineering manager and a senior engineer. A-List gives us a pre-screened flow of good candidates that we can filter quickly to find the ones we want. We've been connected with some high-quality candidates - orders of magnitude better than a LinkedIn job posting for example.
