No incentive was offered Used it liked it, onboarded my team they liked it, worked excelent for 1 month, then the problems with limits started poping up, paid 2 times, set up and onbaored diffrent teams on it. all ran into limit issue, contacted support, no response, contacted sales, they are telling me to buy less credits for more money than advertised. Pricing and limits still unclear. Charge me 5 k no problem, but dont call it unlimited. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is one of the best products i have used, outranking even applollo and other similar products like linkedin recruiter. #### Cons Biggest CON; Unlimited means limited, i have 3 diffrent accounts, for 3 diffrent teams, meaning i pay 3 times for the unlimited plan. Once your limit is reached, withing 1 -2 days of using this, the unlimited plan fails to tell you your limit. This could be done easily but they choose to keep it ambigous. Addtioanlly their support is non existent, and even if you email sales, expect a reply in a week or so . --- ### Easy to use contact information gathering tool at a low cost - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jamie A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

They blindsighted me. - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Renee S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I feel victimized by them. They refused to issue me a refund and I am now out almost $500 for an annual membership I didn't know was renewing. I thought I had been able the year before to remove my payment info, but I guess I hadn't and they kept charging my card despite being declined by my credit card company until it went through. They e-mailed me they were unable to issue me a refund! I've never received worse customer service, and a customer service rep completely unwilling to work with a customer that was blindsighted and now charged almost $500!

If you like customer service representatives that do not know the difference between CAN'T and don't WANT to, then this company is for you! #### Cons Their customer service was horrible. I couldn't reach a person by calling, my e-mail was from a former work e-mail that I had no access to so I was unable to access my payment info, and they charged my credit card until it finally went through, and then said they were unable to refund the $497 annual renewal fee once it had been successful, but they canceled my membership as I wanted. This after I tried to get it cancelled only three business days after their charge went through and I became aware of it. I never got notifications that it was going to renew because I had no access to the e-mail. --- ### Helpful tool for Data extraction! - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Abhishek S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Market Research - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

However, most of the data only has email addresses and 30% of the email are unreachble. #### Cons The software takes a credit even if it does not provide any contact details but only a linked in profile that is not active.

I think SignalHire is a good software but I do wish more of the contact information was valid. I've read reviews that 30% of the information is good, that's not very high. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Signal Hire is fairly easy to use and the support team is there to help you very quickly with questions or demos. I think they give a trial period for you to test the software.

Signal Hire also charges a credit just to pull in Linkedin links, which are free information, this is my biggest issue with the product. --- ### Solid piece of software for sourcing hard to find candidate! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Christian B. - Industry: Staffing and Recruiting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have been trialing Signalhire and I have to say I have been impressed by the quality of information that can be accessed on profiles. I specifically headhunt top talent in the technology sector and this tool has provided me with some up-to-date information. I have not used the ATS side as we already have a ATS/CRM but it is easy to use and would be a great asset to any recruitment agency that is in startup mode. I like the analytics side of things which enable us to determine how likely a candidate is going to move and the algorithm's used seem pretty good. Overall the product is easy to navigate and would compliment any current ats/crm system you are currently using. After using aggregators such as Connectifier, 3sourcing and Open Web. The customer service has also been very quick to respond and has been very helpful indeed. I would recommend this as a great additional tool to search for the best talent in technology. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Pros- the interface is easy to use and the candidate profile information is up-to-date. #### Cons There need to be more features for it to be a fully fledged ATS and it would be useful if we could click on multiple contacts for information. --- ### My work has become easy - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Yegor P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2016 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I deal with thousands of candidates from all over the world every day. Finding the right one is always a challenge. Not that long ago I came across SingalHire product. Among its obvious advantages like significant number of candidates with their personal info posted, easy to use search system, there is also a decent price policy that is yet another pleasant suprise. I reccomend you to try this software and make your work life better! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Price, Search, "Contacts" --- ### Don't use this product. It will hurt your email credit rating - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Aimee M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Poor quality, high price. What a bummer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I liked the concept of it. There is just no true follow through with the quality of data you get. #### Cons This product sent back 30% of the emails as "failed delivery". And of 200 emails I sent out- only 5 were opened and 2 people got back. I recruit, and this was just a job opportunity alert. I get WAY better traction on LinkedIn. The damage this will do to your email credit rating makes it not worth it. It will look like you are spamming. Beware. Also when you try to save information into Job Projects once you have created it- it won't save it. Some weird glitch around that. #### Reasons for switching to SignalHire In theory- it seemed like a good product until you truly use it. --- ### best results in the segment - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Elienay B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

If we had a higher need for SignalHire, I would use it daily. It is fun and easy to use and can really change the recruitment space for HR departments that don't have time to spend 8 hours a day writing boolean strings and scouring the internet like a true recruiter. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Signal Hire is the perfect software for HR professionals who have to recruit, but don't quite have the sourcing skills of a true recruiter. This software does so much of the work for you, it's a perfect solution in certain circumstances. #### Cons Job posting syndication is limited, so sourcing work is about all that you can do that will yield any results. Software does not work particularly well for lower skilled trades positions, so if you have high hiring volume in your plants, don't expect much ROI from this software. Positions for recruitment require a strong digital footprint, as this software mainly scans professional sites (i.e. linkein) effectively. --- ### I love this product. Finding candidate emails has never been easier. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Andree B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
