> 
> **Pros**: Ease of set up, use and management. Very user friendly, especially in configuring to our needs.
> 
> **Cons**: Resume search does not have functionality to disqualify "tags"
> 
> I have been very happy with Top Echelon. Customer service, support and training are top notch. The leadership is accessible and is there when you want advise on how to make the most out of using the platform.

### "Strongly Recommend Top Echelon - Cost Effective and Easy to Implement" — 5.0/5

> **Margaret** | *1 May 2024* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I absolutely love that I can manage my full desk, job postings, candidate tracking, client tracking all in one place.  The customer service is wonderful, you can customize fields, and they offer a split network program that allows you to collaborate with trusted partners.
> 
> **Cons**: The only con I have is that I did not implement the product sooner.
> 
> I used Top Echelon/Big Biller years ago when I started out as an independent recruiter.  Their product was the most cost effective, customizable, multi function product then and now.  I would not think of using another product as an independent recruiter.

### "Top Echelon works well" — 5.0/5

> **Lisa** | *26 April 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It’s provides everything we need at a reasonable price point\!
> 
> **Cons**: The reports need a little improvement and they are working on that.  Anytime there is a con, TE is on it.  They pay attention\! Many of the little tweaks we suggested over the years were implemented quickly\! They listen\!\!\!
> 
> We have had a great experience with the software and responsive team.  My new employees use the trainings and find them simple to understand.  If they have a questions, support is quick to respond with and email or phone call.

### "The Benefits of Big Biller" — 5.0/5

> **Bill** | *26 April 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use with Big Biller software and how it can interact with other agencies databases is just a great feature.  They are constantly upgrading and adding features to the software as well.  I can access this database from a wide variety of devices allowing me to always have my database with me.  It's ability to track and save past emails / resume submissions with clients and candidates is really important as well.
> 
> **Cons**: My only negative (if you can call it that) is that there are really no features to help enter clients into the databse.   In my industry (specifically) new companies are popping up all the time. It would be nice to be able to compare companies via a resume and have a new company automatically entered in some way. This feature was available at one time.
> 
> Love it.  The support teams within Top Echelon are world class and they constantly work on improving the software for it's members.  The database itself is very user friendly and can be manipulated to fit your agencies way of doing things specifically.  I expect to be using Big Biller for a very long time\!\!

> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and features that directly tie-in to my business are the most important to me.
> 
> **Cons**: I am missing some quick reports that were available in early versions of BB.
> 
> I am a loyal customer who has used the product since 2014.
