Dropboard Reviews

Guys, after 6 months search still doesn't see through CVs wording. Also, no other platforms connected like LI or Indeed. When can we see these features implemented?
Differently, it would mean you just built a database with unreadable attachments...that is not useful to recruiters. UI is simple and clear but...

This product is insane. Like seriously, it is absolutely bonkers in HOW AMAZING IT IS.

I'm going to cut to the chase. If you are a Recruiting Agency, a Recruiter, or just the HR guy in your business, you NEED this product. There are a LOT of HR/staffing SaaS products that come through AppSumo, but this one does everything so beautifully with its whitelabeling that I would say this is a market leader for anything under an Enterprise level solution.

This was JUST the solution that significantly improved the professionality of my staffing website. Dropboard creates a cohesive portal that lists jobs beautifully and easily, and allows client companies to log in and make posts/edits as they see fit. As a use case, check out my own Dropboard whitelabel portal at https://recruiting.myexecutiveagency.com

Thank you so very much for the clear, simple, balanced, and focused platform, Colin. Keep being you!

I can't express enough how much this product will change your hiring processes.

I work in recruitment (consulting, I don't recruit). It means I spend a lot of time reviewing applicants, but the way they are set to me is laborious. I get zip files with a CSV and a bunch of applications. I have wanted a way to use an ATS that wasn't extra time consuming.

Colin is an incredible founder. His youtube videos are thorough, transparent af and genuinely helpful. I have contacted him multiple times, via youtube comments, email and even on the AS question page here for his product. He's really invested in this, and he is so genuine.

I explained my pain point re uploading bulk candidates, and I am not suggesting he made the recent update for me, but I can tell you right now I will be using it!!

I know how much other products cost - 'jobadder', 'e-recruit' etc. Even at the monthly subscription rate, this is so much better in terms of cost to benefit ratio. Like erecruit and job-adder might send text message updates or whatever the heck to candidates, but honestly that's such a small thing in comparison to usability and convenience that they lack in being clunky products. The UI on dropboard is flawless. The learning curve was small. I haven't used it to its full potential yet, because I have been busy with work, but I actually can't wait to implement this for my business and encourage my clients to purchase it (I have the recruiter level tier, but he deserves the buy-in and I only plan to use the client features on smaller companies that likely can't afford it, but for the government agencies I work with - I will strongly be pushing for them to consider changing over to dropboard).

Anyway, this is a long one - if you've stuck with me this far and you deal with recruitment, Dropboard is a gamechanger.

As a small business consultancy, it has proven difficult to find and engage with the right kind of job seekers to join the company and drive our company's success.

Dropboard has exponentially improved my ability to advertise roles easily and, more importantly, not frustrate my potential employees with needless re-entry of their CV data. The job seeker reviews my job advertisement. If they like, then they simply click, upload, and submit, and I'm notified immediately, with their CV as a PDF that I can review and respond to immediately - 5 minutes for both our efforts. This streamlining of the process and deep consideration of the job-seeker's perspective works very well on both my side and theirs, which is extremely important.

So, whilst I recognize there's still some work to be done, I'm excited to see where the product journey goes, and Dropboard is as advertised and delivers on its promises.

Well done.

Dropboard has exceeded my expectations. It is incredibly versatile and user-friendly, making the entire recruitment process a breeze. The interface is intuitive, allowing for effortless creation, posting, and management of job listings… a major time-saver.

I was particularly impressed with the customizable features. The screening questions, file uploads, and branding options provide a truly tailored experience. The AI-powered job description writer is a fantastic tool for crafting compelling descriptions in no time. The seamless integration with company websites is another major plus, ensuring a consistent and positive candidate experience. Dropboard is an indispensable tool in my recruitment toolkit.

I've started working with DropBoard, and I can say it definitely does as it outlines, and is a great solution as it stands. The product has so much potential, and it's clear where they are headed with its development, so I wholeheartedly support the continued work they are doing, and can see this is quickly maturing into a remarkable tool that will truly stand-out for Sumolings.

Lots of great ideas in place, and as it's under active development, with great support so far, I can recommend this to anyone looking for a commercial solution for listings, or for any budding agency looking to offer solutions to their clients.

It has some work to be perfect, but they're well on their way!

Great work - 5 Tacos!

After watching Colin's youtube videos, I felt, we need to support people like Colin. So went ahead and bought Tier 2. I sincerely believe he will surely take Dropboard to $1M recurring revenue. Wishing you All the Success Colin! You are an inspiration to many!

I’ve had the pleasure of using Dropboard, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. Colin, the mind behind Dropboard, is incredibly responsive to customer feedback. He listens actively, addresses concerns swiftly, and genuinely pours his heart and effort into the platform.

The idea and product implementation of Dropboard are solid and impressive. The speed of development is astonishing, continually delivering new features and improvements.

It’s a worthwhile investment, and I’m thrilled with the offer.

Choosing Dropboard is one of the best decisions I’ve made this year.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for allowing me to be a part of this journey. I will continue to support Colin and the Dropboard team as they continue to innovate and excel.

Imagination is the limit for what we will be able to create with tier 2 of this platform.

Just watch the great videos about the features and functions, where Colin explains everything in detail. It is all there, he is completely transparent and open for requests:

This is so powerful, I dont even want to disclose what we are planning with this. So.. psst.. dont tell anybody about this generous offer..

I have sent an email to you (from trial.dzulhelmy@gmail.com) regarding autofill Google Chrome extension how it works.

If it can be worked in dropboard using an external Google Chrome extenstion to achieve autofill features like hunter.co and simplify.jobs do using BambooHR, Greenhouse, Lever and LinkedIn would be game changer for me.

1st - 100% agree with working_theory and the comments made!
2nd - the simplicity of this product is really good making it extremely effective. Having AI craft the Job Roles and Description is really good. We're a hotel ownership group so having the ability to embed each hotel's Job Board on each hotel's Landing Site is absolutely great. We will then direct people from our company website to each hotel's Job Board rather than listing all together.
3rd - I see there are some cool features coming soon. Filtering with proper organization is a must. One thing missing that I don't see coming is the ability to "Share the Job" via social media channels. Niceboard does a really good job with that feature.

All the best for a super successful product in the future Colin!

In my limited testing (Tier 2), I've found Dropboard to be very easy to understand, configure, and embed on a website. What a cool product.

I also really dig the UI. There's something very clean, unique, and appealing about it (especially the design of the kanban board).

But my main goal of this review is to mention how great Colin is as a founder. Do this:
1. Watch how he interacts with sumo-lings on the deal page. Respectful, helpful, enthusiastic.
2. Then check out his YouTube channel where he discusses his journey making Dropboard. This is a thoughtful founder who really cares about building something useful and special for his customers.
3. Next, watch the items on the roadmap march through stages from Up next to Recently launched. When is the last time you saw an LTD roadmap that actually changed and evolved over days? Development is thoughtful, significant, and fast.

In summary, Colin (founder) is a rockstar. And Dropboard feels like a potential rocketship in this new space.

So the software is really clean, flexible, and effective at what it does. Seems like every time I jump back in the web app there’s something new - and it’s not BS “features” that don’t add much. It’s big stuff.

For now I’m using as a way to capture resumes on my website, and it works well.

Im looking forward to the recruiter portals enhancements, and hope someday this tool can communicate to candidates/clients beyond emails (text too). I’d also love some added video capabilities and integrations to job boards, and other no code connectors like Albato/make/Pabbly. I really don’t know how to use APIs - but if that means “webhooks”…I can work with that too.

As far as support, Colin has built a really effective knowledge base, and responds quickly in chat. He’s using his “build in public” series on YouTube to announce updates to the tool and campaign. He has a really good demeanor to him - without a hint of “alpha saas bro”, although he could back it up with his track record.

I think this one is going places far beyond Appsumo! Congrats

Dropboard is simple but effective and moving towards becoming a full-on ATS tool that any HR department and recruitment agencies can rely on. Great customer support and it shows that they're listening to the customer's feedback.

With Colin at the helm, the future of Dropboard gets my Tier 2 bet. Here's why:

When AppSumo works, it works well. It provides motivated founders with a pool of hustling early adopter Sumolings, who stand ready to provide said founder with a firehose of feedback.

But the onus is on the founder to ingest that feedback, and capitalize upon it by quickly building what we need and want.

Well, Colin is that motivated founder. During two weeks of testing back and forth, I provided Colin with no less than a bakers dozen of feedback items. He took immediate action on each one in succession; put each in the oven one-by-one; and tops 24 hours later (often same day) deployed fully-baked tasty code which met my given requirement.

Don't get it twisted, though, this is evidently not Colin's first rodeo. So if your feedback isn't met with the same expedited response as mine was, I'd still rest easy in the knowledge that his priority of execution has been finely calibrated by years in the trenches.

All I can say is, his competitors better watch their churn rate. 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮

I bought the second tier, hoping for some eventual improvements. To my surprise, I wrote, and Colin himself answered the same day. He was very open to suggestions, and in a few days, all my suggestions were live in an update. Now you can translate the labels on the boards, so everything looks very professional and company-branded. Hopefully, Dropboard keeps getting better and evolving.

Dropboard is a fantastic tool, very simple and effective.

During the configuration I had some problems due to the use of Wordpress plugins that optimize the page loading speed. After adjusting the exclusion rules it works perfectly on desktop and mobile.

The application UX/UI is extraordinary and very intuitive. I think it has a promising future.

As a user of similar HR tools, here are my suggestions:

Publish each ad automatically on largest job boards. This functionality is crucial and the main benefit of other tools like Manatal, Recooty, Teamtailor, etc. That alone justifies paying for these tools. Although there are hundreds of job boards, in my experience a few are relevant. LinkedIn is by far the most useful integration, followed by Talent, Jooble, Monster and Google Jobs.

Include a checkbox in the form to accept the privacy policy when sending the resume.

WYSIWYG editor. At least being able to add bold text would be very useful to highlight the main benefits of the job offer.

Image gallery in custom section. For some cases, the possibility of including images can be decisive in the interest of candidates and is a feature that few job boards have.

Options to sort the listing. Currently the offers appear in alphabetical order. It would be great to have the ability to sort them by publication date or manually to anchor the highlighted ones on top.

Email template for candidates who are discarded.

Dropboard is a promising tool and I wish it great success. 5 tacos!!

Honestly, I have my qualms and gripes with AppSumo, but some of my side hustle clients needed a solution and saw this, so alas, I had to bend thy knee and get it for them.

That being said, for everything I feel against AppSumo, I admire what Dropboard is doing here. Even after talking to Colin, it sounds like the future is very bright and that he has a very firm grasp of the vision he wants to run with - and is very receptive to feedback and suggestions.

The overall experience is very intuitive as the admin or Recruiter, such that you can very easily create jobs on behalf of clients, or simply create the boards and filter by your clients, then invite them so that they can manage the jobs via the client portal, which will automatically propagate as a result.

Some of the customization options are a little limited, but honestly, it does force a cleaner UX for the end-user, which I respect. You don't want people to hinder the UX because of what they perceive is "best" at times. Though you can update the background, text, and action colors, which should allow for a pretty cohesive experience, all things considered. The custom sections and fields are a great addition so that you can really make the process its own from client to client; you're not intrinsically limited in that sense to what the platform dictates.

I do run some of my sites on Bricks, so there's a known compatibility issue, here's the code that remedies it if you paste it immediately following the code: https://pastebin.com/1TXsu0j6
Colin seems to be working on a fix that should resolve that 'natively' in the future.

One important thing to note, and it does give you a message in the platform, is that it can take a little bit of time for changes to be reflected on the front-end, such that if you update the filter for a board to only show a single client's posts, that won't be immediate, so don't expect it to be - give it a few minutes and it will work as expected.

I would like to see maybe a PDF previewer in the back-end, since a client might not want to download every single PDF if a candidate simply isn't a viable option. When you export all results, you do get the URL, and many clients might not have the know how to bulk execute and download those files themselves either. I think it would be a good QoL update so that there could be a little more scrutiny which allows clients to download on-demand instead.

Overall, features, customization, responsiveness and vision of the founder seem to be on point. I think for the price, it's a very generous offering. I'm hoping that Colin can make Dropboard a sustainable product, and I don't see why it couldn't be. You can truly apply the foundation of the product to all types of scenarios, it doesn't have to be solely for a traditional job board in a sense, it could be for freelancers, interns, etc.

Cautiously optimistic about this one (mainly because of AppSumo more than anything).

I'm excited to have this tool and the unlimited potential! I was literally just wishing like a day or two before this landed on Apssumo that something like this would come.. and here it is!
And tier 2 is an easy decision with this, with the unlimited clients! One of THE most generous deals on Appsumo.

I've always had a desire to help other people and businesses make more money, and this is a great way for me to certainly try!

Also, the developer seems like a great guy and has quickly responded answering my questions!
