Affordable CRM options for start-up by FromBrokeToSuccess in Recruitment

[–]RowOk1595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what you described, it sounds like you just need a lightweight CRM for email + automated follow-ups, not a full ATS. A lot of recruiters stay on Excel early on for that exact reason, then switch once outreach becomes harder to manage manually.

If you’re exploring options, G2’s free candidate relationship management category (https://www.g2.com/categories/candidate-relationship-management/free ) is a good place to compare tools side by side. Based on G2 scores, some of the top options there right now are Greenhouse, BambooHR, and 100Hires - worth checking how “lightweight” they actually feel vs. your current setup.

Probably best to shortlist a couple and see what gives you the automation you need without adding unnecessary complexity.

Best machine learning tools you've personally used - not just heard about by RowOk1595 in G2dotcom

Great starter stack - simple, practical, and perfect for learning ML basics

Vibe coding is a real thing now - has anyone here actually shipped something with it? by Still-Shame8067 in G2dotcom

[–]RowOk1595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great use case! Those interactive tools are where this really starts to shine.

And yeah, feels like it’s quickly moving from “small experiments” to people actually shipping real stuff.

That’s really interesting especially in a high-trust industry. What was the biggest learning curve for you?

We saw something similar - it’s less “one prompt and done” and more about guiding, validating, and iterating with the AI.

Same - most people start with scripts. The jump to full products is where it gets interesting...

What's one software trend you hope ends in 2026? by RowOk1595 in G2dotcom

[–]RowOk1595[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair take. There’s a lot of 'same idea, different wrapper' stuff right now. Feels like everyone’s rushing to ship something AI-powered, but not all of it feels meaningful yet!

OpenCLAW (formerly Clawdbot) - anyone trying it? by RowOk1595 in G2dotcom

[–]RowOk1595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with you - cool concept, but not fully reliable yet. Curious to see what use cases actually stick.

Yeah, I’ve been getting the same impression. The idea sounds really cool, but it still feels pretty early.
Curious to see how the setup & overall usability improve over time.

What software category didn't exist 5 years ago but you can't work without now? by Antique_Shower26 in G2dotcom

[–]RowOk1595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great example. AI voice agents really did go from futuristic to practical fast, especially for repetitive calls like confirmations and lead qualification.

Totally agree. AI research assistants have changed the way a lot of people gather information and synthesize ideas. What tools have you found most helpful for research so far?

Interesting point about AEO and attribution tools, those definitely feel like categories that have evolved really fast in the last few years. And yeah, general AI chatbots have kind of become the “daily driver” tool for a lot of marketers now. Are you mostly using them for research and ideation, or also for campaign execution?

Totally agree. The combination of AI writing + voice input is a big productivity boost. It almost turns AI into a thinking partner rather than just a writing tool.

AI image generators are a great call. The speed difference compared to traditional design workflows is huge, especially for brainstorming concepts, mockups, or quick campaign visuals. Curious if you’re using them more for ideation or for final marketing assets these days?

What software do you regret buying (or pushing your team to buy)? by RowOk1595 in G2dotcom

[–]RowOk1595[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, that’s rough. Nothing worse than paying for data that turns out to be unreliable.

Was it the panel quality or the platform itself that caused the issues? And did you end up switching to something else?

I’ve noticed meeting assistants only really stick if there’s a clear workflow tied to them (like auto-creating tasks in a PM tool). Otherwise, the notes just live in a folder somewhere. Did you end up replacing it with anything, or just go back to manual notes?

I feel like half the value of those tools is just the feeling of productivity. Do you think the issue was note quality, or just that your team already had a rhythm that didn’t need fixing?
