Supports a true relationship with the client
Clockwork makes the entire search process much more efficient, from pitching the work to the day-to-day communications about search. As a communication tool, it supports a trust relationship with your client like no other tools do. Clients know what is going on with the search because they can check in to get real-time updates at any time of day. And when we want to share status updates with the client, we don’t have to dig that information out of some backend system to produce reports in various formats. That information is always at our fingertips with Clockwork.

Clients can see our progress and efforts
Clockwork has fundamentally changed the way we deliver our services and communicate with our clients—for the better. We use Clockwork to research our potential candidate base prior to meeting with prospective clients giving them comfort even before they engage us that we can deliver and they see the platform in which we will communicate. Throughout the search process, our clients can see our progress and efforts on a real-time basis. It has made our business a much more creditable competitor and blows away our competition.

Intuitive and easy to use
What I love about Clockwork is that it’s intuitive and easy to use. It keeps me organized and up-to-date and helps keep my projects moving efficiently through each stage of the search. The reports are comprehensive and my clients and I can easily write notes and see updates in real-time. I've had such a great experience, I've referred Clockwork to my peers. And everyone I’ve talked to who uses Clockwork has no idea what they did before they had it- it’s like the internet or cellphones, how did we even exist?

Great collaborative platform
I'm very happy with Clockwork and have even referred it to others. Users not only have control over what their temporary hires view and access, but they can also give their clients access to the project. It's a great collaborative platform that has helped to build trust and transparency.

Productivity has gone up
I used a different platform before Clockwork and it was very overwhelming to use. After using Clockwork for over 4 years, I can now say that my firm gets more work completed in less time and our level of productivity has gone up. Thanks to Clockwork, we're winning more work.

24/7 Access for clients
It has streamlined our processes and made everything more seamless. I just love the 24/7 access for clients. We’re completely transparent and Clockwork allows our clients to login whenever they want, view candidates, and collaborate if/when they want to.

The most intuitive of any other system
I’ve been in the executive search field for 27 years and was so disgusted by the platforms that were out there. When I heard that there was a new platform that had been built by people who had actually been in executive search, I jumped on it. Clockwork is by far the best; it’s the easiest to use and navigate and the most intuitive of any other system in this space.

A must-have tool in the retained search space
Clockwork is an efficient, collaborative, and honestly, a must-have tool in the retained search space. Everything from the user-friendly interface to candidate management to unsurpassed reporting capabilities—it's been a game-changer for not only us internally at the firm, but from a transparency standpoint for our clients.

Allows for transparency and collaboration
Using Clockwork looks good for me and my business. It shows that I’m using something new and innovative. It allows me to be transparent with my clients, without giving up control of what I show them and when. There’s a whole new element of collaboration that a simple database can’t offer. And, I like that. My clients like that, too.

A really good tool that saves a lot of time
Clockwork gives me a really good tool to execute and it also saves me a lot of time on the reporting side, something that was always a thorn in my side with every other system that I've used.

Clockwork facilitates teaming up with the client
Clockwork facilitates teaming up with the client on the search. I can easily share my research with the client and that can spark suggestions for target companies or candidates I may have missed. I want my hiring manager to be involved with the process from the beginning because that shortens the time to hire and improves client satisfaction.

Ease of reporting, real-time updates, and overall use
Our search process was stressful and time-consuming before using Clockwork. Now, not only does the platform allow my client access to the project, but the ease of reporting, real-time updates, and the overall ease of use make this the ideal tool for us. My team and I love using Clockwork!

Transparent search projects allow for meaningful trust
I love the ability to create private project rooms to share with my private equity clients. It lets me run very transparent search projects that build meaningful trust. It's a game-changer.

Status calls are so easy
The clients have been logging in! The status call was so easy–I used to rush around before the call, entering data, typing in people’s backgrounds. Now we just keep it up to date as we go.

Manual labor cut in half
Previously, we used a lot of spreadsheets and reports, on top of tracking and gathering all of the data needed for a long list. Once we started using Clockwork it cut our manual labor by 85-90%, enabling us to complete an initial Long List in a day, rather than a week!

Our go-to source for executive talent
We deployed Clockwork and imported the CSC database containing a repository of resumes of executives. It is fast becoming a powerful initial go-to source for executive talent for due diligence support and potential portfolio company management candidates.

Our firm closes projects faster
We've demoed with other companies and they definitely don't have all of what Clockwork offers. The platform has helped our firm close projects faster and keep everyone on the same page. Clockwork is the get-stuff-done tool!
