About ExactHire

ExactHire is cloud-based hiring software that offers applicant tracking, text recruiting, external job board posting, and offer letters. Optional integrated employee onboarding, background checking, and employee assessments are available.

ExactHire is especially suited for employers that post a large number of hourly job openings in industries like retail, restaurant, healthcare, manufacturing and nonprofit. With features such as Google Maps integration, application jump-start, in-application text messaging, and the ability for job seekers to apply to multiple jobs at once, ExactHire is designed to pull applicants through the application process so that employers who traditionally experience high turnover can hire the right people before their competitors.

ExactHire enables users to post job openings on social media and external job boards. With the help of screening filters on standard and job-specific application questions, recruiters may screen applications based on candidate answers.

Admin-level ExactHire users may create multiple employment application templates to be used across different job categories and geographic locations.

Pros:

Very robust and easy to use applicant tracking system. Support is always helpful and answers any questions I have quickly.

Cons:

None at this time. I have been using them for months and I feel like I have everything I need.

Reasons for choosing ExactHire

Pricing and I liked the people I talked to. I was not passed around to random people. This was important since they get to know me and my needs and I do not have to re explain everything all the time.

LOVE using this software!

LOVE IT! I used ExactHire at my previous employer. When I switched companies and found the HR Team didn't have and ATS, I got approval and contacted the ExactHire team right away for a quote and implemented the new platform. What a time saver and easy to use, thank you ExactHire Team!

Pros:

I have to pick one?! I guess it would be the fact that it is so easy to use it truly makes my HR job posting/tracking loads easier than trying to manage them all separately.

Cons:

1) No word count in the job description area. It would be helpful if the job description area would A) tell us the word/space count and B) tell us what the limitations are for each job board ad. (Not sure if this is possible, but would be helpful!) 2) When you create a Job Board ad, it would be helpful if when we searched we could tell which ones were free and which ones are paid. It takes some time to sift through all of them to find out information.

Reasons for choosing ExactHire

I used it at my previous company and loved it.

Overpromise and Underdeliver

Although the people with whom I had interaction from Exacthire were friendly, the overall service was lackluster. We did not receive many candidates. Of the candidates we did receive, none met our basic requirements. The sales pitch led us to believe that Exacthire would find us a candidate within the contract period. We paid upfront based on that sales pitch. We were misled almost to the point that this feels like we were swindled. With other recruiters, we do not pay until we hire a candidate. We also have a guarantee that the candidate will last for 90 days. We agreed to pay Exacthire upfront and waive the 90-day requirement. We will never recommend Exacthire based on this experience.

It's A No Brainer - Choose ExactHire

5 Stars! From the C-Level staff and all the way down, the culture of ExactHire places customers first. My company's success and hiring needs are their top priority. The marvelous ATS they provide is proof of that. Plus, their personable environment has made working with them a pleasant experience!

Pros:

From our side of things, the functionality is phenomenal! Because of how intuitive the system is the ease of use is extremely high. This system allows you to quickly identified qualified candidates and keeps the hiring process very organized. The experience from creating an open position to onboarding is seamless and painless. I can message candidates and collaborate with the hiring team without leaving the ExactHire system. I don't waste precious time because I'm able to do everything I need during the hiring process from a unified platform. From the applicants perspective it is also an excellent experience! I've received feedback from candidates stating how applying to other jobs was clunky and off-putting, but ours (ExactHire) wasn't. This gives me peace of mind knowing that the ExactHire's software isn't turning away candidates and I'm getting maximum participation from qualified applicants. Lastly, the staff at ExactHire is unbeatable! From the customer service team, to technical staff, to management, we've always experienced exceptional support and care. Business always involves people; so, you might as well enjoy the people you have to work with. These guys rock!

Cons:

I'd have to think really hard on this because the ExactHire system does what we need and more. It performs very-well, is affordable, and applicants like using it. ExactHire is a very transparent company and provides a list of upcoming features. So, as our company grows, I know the ExactHire platform will keep up with us.

Vendor Response

Mallory, we're so glad you've had such a great experience using the ExactHire ATS, and that working with our team has been pleasant. We appreciate you taking the time to highlight the benefits that matter most to you.

Pros:

We have had a very positive partnership with ExactHire. From the onset it was evident they are a customer driven provider and we continue to be impressed with how receptive they are to ideas/suggestions and how quickly they respond with sound changes and upgrades. They are a top notch provider!

Cons:

Nothing immediately comes to mind. ExactHire has meet, and in most instances, exceeded our expectations. If they extend their services to other areas we would like to see them become involved in social media as a recruitment platform that is tied to our open positions posted on ExactHire.

Reasons for choosing ExactHire

We felt like ExactHire was excited to have us as a client to partner with a multi-unit/multi-state employer and were receptive to customizing their product to our needs - which they did very successfully.

Reasons for switching to ExactHire

We needed a more mobile/user-friendly employment application.

Pros:

Using ExactHire has eased the time consuming process of updating an applicant tracker that was created in Google sheets. The ease of communications with applicants, and internally with managers is a time saver as it is one stop shopping when it comes to documentation. Internally we can see notes created during the screening and interview process, as well as communications with the applicant.

Cons:

I've not discovered anything I don't like about the software yet.

We are so happy to hear you're enjoying the system! We agree that it helps save time and is much more secure than a spreadsheet, so it's good to hear that has become a reality for you too. We hope we can continue to meet those expectations. Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for reviewing our system. If we haven't already, we will make sure that your request to print job postings is added to our development request list. We have started and are continuing to update some of the items that are not as intuitive as our users would like, and we've done that because of feedback like this. Thank you for caring enough to share and stick with us.
