## Reviews

### "Excellent Product-Excellent Service" — 5.0/5

> **Richard** | *10 September 2012*
> 
> **Pros**: I purchased GOPHER 8 years ago for our three office six person team and it has been awesome from day one in that it delivers everything I ever wanted and offers even more tools that I have not  taken the time to learn. Managing our 24,000 person data base is so easy that it substantially reduces the amount of administrative work being performed by recruiters. OUTLOOK linked to GOPHER allows us to automatically log all communications with clients and candidates. Searching for a specific resume or searching for a pool of candidates is instantaneous.
> 
> **Cons**: Seriously, there are no negatives. I have 28 years as a Recruiter and Gopher meets all my needs without any problems.
> 
> Strongly recommended, I love the Product, I love the Customer Service/Customer Relationship.&#13;&#10;Customer Service is the best. First of all it's a little like the Maytag repair guy in that we never need them, I can recall only one time in eight years that I had a problem with GOPHER. My call was answered by a real person who worked with me for an hour and resolved the problem. I have asked for their help on four or five other occassions and each time I felt like I had a free consulting firm at my beck and call. An example would be the time we purchased a list of ten thousand people in our industry. Gopher parsed the list and imported the entire thing over a weekend and the charge was a lot less than I would have expected.&#13;&#10;Speaking of cost the low purchase price beat the heck out of the other five or six potential systems that we evaluated.

### "Gopher - Pretty Good" — 4.0/5

> **Craig** | *22 September 2016* | Human Resources Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's versatile and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: It's a little slower then I'd like it to be.
> 
> I signed up with Gopher about 5 years ago. I liked its versatility and the person who set it up for me did a great job getting it to look and feel like the older system I was using at my former agency. I wanted to hit the ground running and didn't want to spend weeks learning a completely new data base system. It's a tiny bit slower then I'd like it to be, but otherwise very happy with it. Y'all do a good job of adding features and your customer support people are friendly and have fixed all problems.

### "Some good, Some bad" — 3.0/5

> **William** | *27 September 2016* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Assimilation of resume's. Ability to track activity. Coordination of memos and communication with candidates and clients.
> 
> **Cons**: Difficulty in changing company info. Difficulty in differentiating between individuals with similar or same names.
> 
> Overall the software is adequate. Some glitches that have not been figured out.  Some features lacking but overall tends to do the job.

### "Paula's review" — 4.0/5

> **Paula** | *22 September 2016* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The amount of storage. we have over 25K resumes stored in it now and still climbing with more added daily.
> 
> **Cons**: Like anything, it has its quirks.  Sometimes I need to contact customer support.  They are great though and usually can fix it in a few minutes.
> 
> I rely on Go4 daily for my recruiting tasks.  It is like my bible and I use it like it's my diary\!  It keeps all the notes in it's database on all the candidates.  We have had it at our company since 2008.
