HiringThing Software

Pros

The two main pros of this software are the ability to have as many users as you need and their customer service. Having customer support back you up is a main selling point for us.

Cons

The lack of reporting features for what we use was our only con. Everything we do is data driven so the more reports we can use and customize the better.

We have used this program, which is an improvement over nothing but have found some serious issues with using it.
It will send emails out to subscribers about new jobs that haven't been published. Every one of your subscribers will know about a job if Tuesday rolls around and you are still working on the draft with managers. It really makes things messy when it happens to be a job that somebody is going to be terminated from but hasn't actually been informed yet.
It also does not keep a record of the offer letter you send out. You will get it listed in the files ONLY if the applicant accepts and signs the letter. The letter is off in limbo if they don't sign it.

Pros

It's better than using nothing at all.

Cons

It has an all or nothing mentality when it comes to features.
No way to block duplicate applicants based on email addresses.
No way to track offer letter sent until it is signed and accepted.
Will publish job postings automatically, even though the ad was not actually published by the user.
Applicants skip qualifying questions when they apply through indeed.

Advice to Others

It's better than using nothing at all.

The couple I work for owns 3 different businesses and we use HiringThing at each of them. It's so user friendly and if we do have questions Bunnie response quickly.

Excellent service. When I have questions they help really quick. I am glad we are using you guys for our hiring process

Pros

Its easy and friendly

Cons

Nothing bad to comment

Advice to Others

Make it as a regular application like other sites for airli es

Our consulting company HR Annie Consulting began using HiringThing for one of our clients a few years ago. Ever since, even though we get exposed to other programs, Hiring Thing is our #1 recommendation. Even clients who we no longer consult, remain loyal users of this platform for recruiting, applicant tracking and retention of their candidate files.
Another thing I love about Hiring Thing is that their team is always conscientious and open to their user's ideas for improving what is already great! When they make an upgrade or add on a service, I have never had significant downtime learning or acclimating to any changes.
The customer service from their team is quick, responsive and proactive in helping our team find solutions to increase our applicant pool, which for hard to fill positions has been invaluable!

Pros

There are a lot of tools and they are easy to use. Whenever I've had a question about anything, their team has been really helpful.

Cons

The price and options keep changing so it's hard when we are a pass through agreement with our clients and suddenly have to charge them more...even worse, when we don't catch it and aren't passing the cost through. Maybe a different rate package for companies that are referring use for tithed clients or a referral bonus??

I'm not sure what we would do without HiringThing! To be able to view, organize, and respond to applicants could not be easier!

This product is very user friendly and easy for managers to use with minimal training. I would recommend this system to other companies who are looking for a better way to manage the recruitment process.

I work in HR consulting and we do a lot of recruiting and/or train recruiting strategies. We recommend HiringThing to all of our clients. It is a great, user friendly platform and Bunnie our rep is quick and super helpful with questions and job board research. Great product.

Pros

Service and user friendly. Application management

Cons

Wish the cover letters and resumes looked like the originals without having to download them.

Advice to Others

Could have a list of industry specific job boards and pricing as a resource.

They have everything you can think of so that your recruiting funnel is systematic and orderly. Customer service is very helpful and are often quick to respond to any questions that you have.

Pros

It literally does have everything I want for keeping my recruiting funnel organized.

Cons

I don't like the craigslist posting turn over time, I also don't like how the seven days later reposting is more like 9 days later.

Advice to Others

fix the CL time lapse

I searched long and hard for an ATS that would give me all of the functionality I needed, for all fo the departments within our company. Not only was the HiringThing the best solution, the pricing made it a no-brainer for me. What has been equally surprising is the awesome support and customer service.

Pros

It works, is easy to use and is very cost effective. Allows candidate sharing across the enterprise

Cons

not really a complaint but its not a scalable as I'd like and some functionality is lacking. Overall it does 95% of what I'd like it to do

As a company with under 100 employees and entirely paper driven HR process, HiringThing has been a life (and sanity) saver! It's helped us streamline our recruiting process and keep managers engaged and involved as well as keeping all the candidates organized. The price point also hits that perfect sweet spot for CFO's who don't want to spend too much. Absent any other HR technology, this stand-alone ATS has made my life immeasurably better and helped us reach a wider audience of the talent pool.

The only feature I wish was available was the ability to boost or refresh a job posting without having to completely take it down and re-post it as new.

Pros

Ease of use

Cons

Inability to boost or refresh job postings

I am an independent recruiter and value fast, easy to use, nice user experience over customization, features, and workflows. HiringThing has worked great for me. It probably does not meet the needs for a larger company due to its lack of a search interface (or a usable one I should say). But if you are simply looking for a resume repository and to provide candidates a great, simple experience when they apply to jobs, this is a great solution! Their customer service is on point as well. I have spoken with their support team and seen code changes implemented within 24 hours. Not that I expected that, but that is quite a customer focused team they have.

Pros

ease of use, responsiveness, fast, good candidate experience, easy to implement with career portal

Cons

lack of really any in depth features, search, workflow customization. But I'm not looking for that at this time anyways.

Advice to Others

N/A

Let me start by saying... I have tried MANY platforms. And the ones I didn't try, I watched the videos for and checked the demos. HiringThing may not be as well known as others, but it is SO good! I am so glad I stumbled upon it. In the past I have used CATS, TargetRecruit, and several others, and I have never found better customer service and a more friendly product than HiringThing. I highly recommend it! Sometimes I have even laughed at how fast they answer support emails... to the tune of less than 30 seconds after me sending it! So impressed!

Pros

-Awesome free trial with no credit card
-Rating feature with stars
-Simple to use, but robust enough to have all features
-Beautifully designed interface
-The best customer service I've ever seen
-Super, highly customizable
-Open API

Cons

-Right now there's no activity feed besides the sent messages, but they are developing it for me within 2-3 weeks and then will roll it out to all users!

Best hiring software, I ever used! Try it for sure it has a free trial!

We are a professional company that needed to hire both a new sales person and a operations person. We tried to the newspaper to the tune of $400! Our results were exactly "0" applicants! We didn't even get a bad applicant. In a couple of weeks we now have 32 applicants for the sales position and 20+ for the ops position - we have now hired for both. Bottom line - it works.

Pros

Easy to use
High number of applicants
Useful number of Quality Applicants
Very reasonable cost

Cons

None

I used it for the first time to post a job for the Company I work for and we received a lot of prospective candidates in a short period of time we were able to select potential candidates to hire. Great recruiting source. I will recommend it to anyone working on recruiting and also for anyone looking for work.

Pros

It's free!!!!! It does not get better than that...

Cons

The website needs more advertisement and Marketing.

Highly recommended.

Pros

Great customer support! I received immediate e-mail and phone support from the Hiring Thing Team. Much appreciated, thank you!

Cons

A bonus would be the ability to access candidate's resumes immediately and individually, without having to login/return to the your main/landing site. (Ex. Indeed)

But, overall, very happy with both the product and the awesome service!

I would absolutely recommend Hiring Thing. They made my job a lot easier.

Pros

I got most of my candidates from them!

Cons

I had no cons

Absolutely. Especially if you have limited time and resources for recruiting and hirning. Very easy to set-up and impletement. NIce product!

Pros

The system was easy to use and implement from our previous recruiting tool. Not overly complicated as our previous system was and easy to navigate within the system. It took approximately 1-hour to enter all 11 job postings we were managing and our hiring managers loved the ease of use and access. I received a daily status update and love to see the metrics.

Cons

No job requisition form or process within the system.

Sign up. Will change your business.

Pros

great for small to mid level sized business...changes how you hire, organizational tool that is very valuable. Has changed our business in just one week, and our hiring success rate of 5-star candidates is close to 100%...communication is so stream lined that we are not missing out on any talent.

Cons

needs a few updated features, but they are very responsive to ideas.
