Special Features
The company has 3 major features that make the job application process more efficient: Visuality Personality Assessment This assessment is supposed to measure a candidate's personality and predict how he or she would react to situations on the job, resulting in a score between 0-100. This score is meant to show how successful the candidate is likely to be on the job. It is similar to traditional job application assessments, but takes 3 minutes rather than 30 minutes or longer, a typical assessment. Snagajob claims that 90% of their job-seeking users complete the assessment, which is statistically proven to be more accurate than the Myers-Briggs personality test. 1-Click Apply This feature essentially converts a candidate's Snagajob profile into an application that can be easily viewed by the recruiter. This component increases job posting views by 50% and delivers a mobile app completion rate of 90%, compared to the job search industry average of 2%. (To be fair, though, a system like 1-click apply wouldn't work for most salaried job descriptions and application requirements where it does work for hourly jobs.) Application Viewing Employers can sort, filter, and review applications quite easily with the profile-type application system. They can like or decline applicants (much like a Facebook friend request) which sorts the applicants into different lists for further review by the employer.Experience
Snagajob started in 2000, giving the business over 16 years of experience.Customer Support
Snagajob's customer support perk is the ability to ask job search or career questions in the comments area of their educational resources as well as on Facebook. In general, these receive quick responses from employment experts-and sometimes in-depth ones. The support team can be reached by emailing customersupport@snagajob.com or calling (888) 762-7624 between 8:30AM-7:30PM ET Monday-Friday.The Bad
- Price range
Price Range
Without exception, job seekers can search for and apply to jobs at no cost, even for the 1-click application service. Job recruiters have a few different options for job postings. None of them are cheap, and this is with a maximum of 3 postings (a plan with more jobs posted need to be arranged with the sales team):- Starter: $89/month - This includes 1 active job posting, 1-click applications, daily profile invites, targeted email blast, and sorting and filtering tools.
- Starter Plus: $99/month - This plan includes all of the above plus Snagajob's candidate visuality personality assessments.
- Growing: $249/month - Finally, this package comes with all of the above with 3 active job postings, plus employee management and reporting services.

Most emails I receive from Snagajob are little more than click-bait. It takes you to a listing where you have to enter your email to see a posting and then you get spammed, and the posting itself rarely reflects the jobs it baited you with.

Snagajob just spams you with a lot of emails on an everyday basis. The platform is also filled with a lot of popups and it is just a website that I wouldn't suggest to someone looking for a real job.

Snagajob is an online site for posting/applying for jobs. Seems to be somewhat lacking. I have found that a lot of the jobs and Information provided are outdated. I also found their website difficult to navigate.
