## Reviews
### "Great Support and Reliable Platform" — 5.0/5
> **Michelle** | *2 February 2026* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
>
> **Pros**: Customer service has been outstanding, and the team has been very responsive and knowledgeable.
The ability to customize applications, reviewer rubrics, and scoring criteria allowed us to align the platform closely with our program’s goals and evaluation standards. In addition, the reviewer interface is intuitive, making it easy for volunteers to navigate and complete reviews efficiently.
>
> **Cons**: Some advanced features and customization options can take time to fully learn, especially for first-time administrators.
RQ platform is that it does not currently offer some advanced capabilities we would find helpful, such as an AI-based sifting or pre-screening tool to analyze applications and further narrow down top candidates. While the platform is strong in structured reviews and scoring, having built-in AI support for initial filtering could further streamline the evaluation process for large applicant pools.
>
> Even when I came to the team with ideas or concepts that weren't yet clear on how to implement them, they translated those ideas into practical, functional solutions within the platform.
-----
### "RQ Experience Review" — 5.0/5
> **Ryan** | *26 June 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
>
> **Pros**: The platform has a lot of intricate fields and dynamics while being very user friendly. The overall structure of how applications are created, formed, and processed makes reviewing applications for constituents much easier. The automatic email generation system, tagging and filtering systems help us properly stay in touch and identify applicant's place in the scholarship process.
>
> **Cons**: There can be glitches in the admin reporting process, leading to gathering data later than needed. This problem is mainly offset with a very quick response time from the RQ tech team which work hard to run reports when I am not able. Also, the PDF package feature has some bugs, and we unfortunately can't use that.
>
> I and my team have been very pleased with RQ Platform. First, working with RQ's team has been fantastic. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been our main contact, and we are incredibly happy with her. She is very responsive, thoughtful, and dedicated to making our program function as best as possible. We also had wonderful experiences with\[sensitive content hidden\] , who was the sales rep we first talked to when deciding to choose an online platform to host our scholarship program. Without those two the RQ experience would be far less enjoyable. From the program management side, we are so grateful to move from data entry by hand in excel from a paper application to a thorough online portal that all applicants can go to fill out their needed information. It has been a much quicker process for all parties involved, whether it be applicants or admin our experience has been amazing overall. We still continue to look for more efficient process in RQ's system that can match with our program needs and we know RQ's reps will help us if we ever do need to pivot. It has been a great experience overall.

### "Foundation Scholarship Council" — 4.0/5
> **Xiong** | *3 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
>
> **Pros**: Pretty user friendly. Here's what I like about the RQ Platform: Easy to find submissions, adding reviewers and sending out emails to winners. The Program Dashboard helps with retrieving quick numbers, if need be, Submission tab helps with finding applications easily and assigning and removing reviewers is a breeze.
>
> **Cons**: I can't seem to find a way to assign applications evenly to reviewers, but I'm glad that there is my contact Sanket Parab who can help me out with that.
>
> Overall, I like the RQ Platform. Again, it is pretty user friendly once you get used to it. The support library is helpful majority of the time.

### "Amazing Customer Service\!" — 5.0/5
> **Abby** | *23 June 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
>
> **Pros**: Ease of use. Extremely supportive customer support. Both the reviewer and the applicant are able to access their information easily without watching a tutorial. It is extremely intuitive.
>
> **Cons**: Only issue is not even with RQ itself, but the AMS system we use not being smart enough to connect with outside vendors as intuitively. Despite this, the RQ team was able to find alternatives to the issue.
>
> From the moment I met with the team at RQ I felt like it was the right place for our organization. Not only did they work with us on our budget, but they provided great tips for optimizing our scholarship and annual awards process. Once again, the customer service is unmatched. I had used previous platforms where you only talk to a chat bot and couldn't ever meet with someone face to face but this is not the case with RQ\!

### "Best customer support" — 5.0/5
> **John** | *5 May 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
>
> **Pros**: The customer support was second to none. Our project manager helped set up our form as well as the reports and review form. We were able to see the applicants who met the criteria easily and then make our selection.
>
> **Cons**: It took a little more training for me but I'm not the most tech savvy person. Once I became familiar with everything, it was quite easy to manage.
>
> It is so much easier to have applications submitted online. We used a google form previously and had to manually download the information and photocopy the applications for the volunteers making selections for our scholarship.
