Functionality

Pros:

Brilliant customer support, they really try to make your life easier where possible. The process is really smooth and consistent. You can choose which elements and boards you want to use, so making each campaign bespoke to the role. I get an update on monthly basis as to where we are with our account. When posting new roles, they respond quickly to get the role advertised as quickly as possible, but not without giving you tips on how to attract better or more candidates.

Cons:

The ATS but thats not because it isnt good, we just have to do a work around when sorting CVs and going through selection process. If we didnt have our own ATS this wouldnt be an issue and would be ideal to use just theres.

Reasons for switching to hireful

We had used Hireful previously and it was a better service

Hireful Review

hireful was the first ATS here - and it totally transformed the way we recruit. We have much greater visibility, improved reporting and data, and the system is genuinely so easy to use. We still aren't leveraging all of the elements of the system and we're working on this with hireful, especially since the merge of a number of divisions within our business. hireful have been extremely helpful with that merge and the resulting rebrand updates! Nothing is ever too much trouble for the team.

Functionality

Pros:

Easy to use - really intuitive for HR and hiring managers - they can often navigate the system without support. Easy to bespoke elements such as reporting - which give such great into source of hire and DEI elements. Super helpful team at hireful - nothing is ever to much trouble. Innovative - with a great programme of future developments. The AI prioritisation is proving helpful - although we're still in the early days of usage. Love the additions of webinars to support the hiring community!

Cons:

Integration with some of the bigger HRIS can be a challenge - however there are usually ways around some of these challenges - and no IT system that I've ever worked with has been perfect!

Vendor Response

Thank you, Sarah, for such a great review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It’s lovely to hear that hireful feels intuitive for both HR and hiring managers, and that the reporting around source of hire and DEI is giving you real value. Knowing people can confidently navigate the system without needing much support is exactly what we aim for. We’re also really pleased to hear that the AI prioritisation and webinars are proving useful, even in these early days. We completely understand how frustrating it can be when your chosen HRIS doesn’t integrate as smoothly as you’d like. We’re continually adding new integration partners, and in the meantime, we’re glad the workarounds are helping. Thanks again for the kind words. Sean Maher - CEO.

Pros:

It helps us manage high volumes of candidates and to communicate easily with them, ie to reject or invite for an interview

Cons:

It can be a bit clunky, for example, if you want to add quite a lot of comment when releasing roles to agencies it's not that easy to type into. Sometimes it decides not to automatically shortlist or to unpublish itself but this is not a regular occurrence.

Hireful ATS

Love it. The ATS has completely improved our entire recruitment process, modernising it and reducing admin significantly. The customer service is brilliant as well.

Pros:

Customer service is amazing. Whenever I have a query, I can get an answer almost immediately via the support chat function. The actual platform is very easy to use with every one of our hiring managers praising how much better our recruitment process is now we are using the ATS. As an admin, I find the posting of ads and scheduling of interviews/general communication so quick and easy.

Cons:

Only one minor con and that is the anonymised names can get a little confusing. We once contacted the wrong candidate by mistake as their anonymised name was extremely similar to another candidate's.

Reasons for choosing hireful

Less cost involved, seemed a simpler system and we didn't need something complex.

Pros:

This is the second organisation I have introduced Hireful ATS in to and never hesitate to recommend them. It's easy to use, easy to see data and the reporting functionality is strong. The customer service is great, they listen to customers feedback and are constantly developing the system to stay ahead of the game. Recommendations I have made previously have been developed and implemented making the recruitment process so much easier, it's great to see as a user and to know that the team genuinely cares.

Cons:

nothing comes to mind, it is a system which I have used in 2 charities now and it has enhanced our recruitment process both times

The system is very user friendly and adaptable to your needs. The team are incredible, the support from my Account Manager [sensitive content hidden] and Customer Success Manager [sensitive content hidden] has been fantastic. They are super helpful and responsive.

Cons:

It would be good to have a tool where we can easily 'talent pool' candidates into certain geographical regions and job families, then have a search function to be able to review this when a new job becomes available. It would be great if there was a central hub where we could keep in touch with these candidates

Pros:

We have been using Hireful (formerly Easyweb) for nearly 8 years. The ATS is easy to use, the customer support is great and it's very cost effective.

Cons:

Having worked with the Hireful team for a number of years, we have developed and enhanced our system along the way. The team worked closely with us on the reporting tools, as initially the system didn't give us what we need, but we now have a bespoke report that captures all of the data we need it to. But from the start, the team have been on hand whenever we need them.

We really appreciate you sticking with us for so long Zoe! It’s great to hear the system’s been easy to use and good value, but especially that the support has made a difference over the years. We really pride ourselves on providing great support. Working with you to get the reporting right has been a big part of that, and we’re glad it now gives you exactly what you need. Thanks again for trusting us, it’s genuinely been a pleasure to work with you. Sean Maher - CEO
