Hiretual Software

I started using Hiretual in their first year of business -- the tool had a ton of potential, and I initially used it to create boolean strings for me. After about a month of using the free product, I connected with COO, to learn more about their AI sourcing functionality.

Over the past 2-3 years, I have become a super-user of Hiretual and the platform has become my #1 source of hire, I go to Hiretual before any other resource I have available to me.

During our renewall negotiation with LinkedIn this year, I opted out of getting another LinkedIn Recruiter seat in favor of Hiretual seats. There is just so much more power and capability in Hiretual than there is in LinkedIn.

Pros

Hiretual makes searching easy - they give you the option to write (or even create for you) old school boolean strings, or you have the ability to use their AI search engine. The AI Search engine allows you to pick titles, mandatory/option skills, years of experience, diversity factors, citizenship vs sponsorship, geo-targeted searches, etc... A lot of recruiting products offer this search capability, but what the others don't offer is the ability to aggregate social profiles, contact information, professional networking sites, skill based assessments, salary range information, availability likelihood, etc.. You get all the information you'd normally use chrome extension galore for, all in one place, that is Hiretual.

One feature they've had for a while that I recently started using on a daily basis is the Facebook search. In today's hyper-competitive engineering recruitment landscape, the need for personalized messages is at an all time high. Having access to the candidates facebook is not only another method for outreach, but also a research tool to write compelling messages that get the candidates attention.

Cons

There aren't many, but I do wish I had the ability to compare what I've already done on LinkedIn (Projects, Messages, notes, etc..) to what I've done in Hiretual. There's a lot of manual comparison back and forth to ensure the candidate I'm reaching out to via InMail isn't someone I've already talked to or reached out to in the past.

Pros

I looooved that I could click on a LinkedIn profile and get an email of a person.

Cons

If the person is from EU, than hiretual will not be able to get you their info

I really saw this as a game-changing, affordable solution. If you aren't able to buy their premium version, don't bother. I'm really sad to leave such a negative review for a product I've been such an advocate for, but they are going the way of LinkedIn by removing core functionality that was part of the product when I bought it, then asking if I'd like to upgrade. Nope, not interested.

Pros

I liked it until they started removing functionality from the professional level. It's degraded to the point where I'm being forced to find a new solution. No grandfathering in of current clients, upgrade or lose email ability within the application. I won't be renewing.

Cons

If you don't buy Premium version, you don't get fully functioning software.

Good x-ray tool to supplement other searches. Also can be integrated with Outlook.

Pros

I like that it does the Boolean string for you.

Cons

Generates a lot of responses that may not be relevant or are duplicated.

Finding the best talent and automatically nurturing the outreach has led to successfully filling very tricky roles, especially in the world of bleeding-edge tech in startup companies. The

Pros

Nurture Tracks automatically schedule and send outreach and tracks when candidates open the email. Projects allows you to organize your roles and prioritize your outreach. The best part: Not just LinkedIn results limited to LinkedIn Mail, this scrapes the whole web and returns results from sites like GitHub and Stack overflow, plus it gives you personal contact info and even phone numbers so you can control how you reach out to the candidates. Oh, and you can't beat their support chat. These guys are on the ball!!

Cons

Limited numbers in nurture tracks makes organizing larger candidate pools difficult, so I organize them by priority in groups per role. That's really the only thing, and it's not even a dislike as much as a mere fleck on an otherwise spotlessly awesome program.

Pros

Hiretual correctly finds email addresses and sometimes even telephone numbers that other platforms do not. Their AI Sourcing function has also helped me uncover candidates I would not otherwise have found on my own with Boolean search.

Cons

only 10 free email contacts a week.. but hey, at least there's still 10 free email contacts a week!

Pros

I think that this is one of the best sourcing tools out there.

Arya is a close 2nd but this team takes the cake. They're expert level and easy to work with.

Cons

I miss the days when I would be neck deep in sourcing and unable to do anything higher value for my organization (sarcasm)

Pros

Easy to use, just a click away from the email address you want, almost all emails found are valid and verified.

Cons

Limited email address findings in countries which practice GDPR, you have to request the consent through Hiretual and Hiretual never replies if the person accepted or not - that way you do not get the service you pay for.

This software has given me contact details on multiple platforms. I am able to contact candidates quickly that results in more hires.

Pros

I've been recruiting for 21 years. I've tried many tools over those years. I have been using Hiretual for a couple of years now and it has become my number one sourcing tool. I like that it works on multiple platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, GitHub, Angie's List and many others. It finds accurate contact email addresses and/or phone numbers. I am finding candidates that I can immediately contact versus sending an Inmail and waiting for a response. Also, I am using it to get contact information for people on GitHub and Facebook. The overall benefits is I am getting qualified candidates to my hiring managers faster resulting in more hires.

Cons

Nothing. In my opinion, it's the best product on the market for sourcing. The Hiretual Team has consistently improved their product over the years and the listen to the recruiter community who want to add additional functionality.

Pros

Since I search for potential leads on LinkedIn this is a great tool to get all in one place plus accuracy is good.

Cons

This tool became useless after GDPR. Since I am working with Europe I can't use it for cold mailing.

Pros

Hiretual is an amazing sourcing recruiting ATS system which works seamlessly across platforms which enables one to be effective in one's work in recruitment. Hiretual founders & team real down to earth people who are actively involved in the recruiting space & are actively open to receiving feedback in improving & keeping the platform up to date with the constant changing landscape of the recruiting industry with the explosion of the internet.

There is no other recruiting ATS platform out there in the market which is as relevant, efficient & effective as Hiretual!

Cons

Would be great if the platform could integrate & aggregate data from WeChat as it is the biggest & most data rich platform for Chinese audiences with a MAU of 1 billion besides which everything is tied to WeChat in the Chinese speaking world.

Pros

I can find passive talent I can't find elsewhere, and see accurate data and insights on each of them, as well as their contact information for me to reach out.

Cons

To be honest, there is nothing I do not like about this software! Not only is the software amazing, but so is the Hiretual team.

Pros

Hiretual can do what other platforms cannot: they find candidates information others cannot, and they generate leads others cannot. It is a great tool in the recruiter's arsenal!

Cons

I like most things about their platform/service and customer experience and can't think of anything significant I dislike.

This tool is a must have for anyone who engages with someone out side of your personal or business network.

Pros

Hiretual replaces two other tools I was using and offered more features. The new V3 AI tool is my next purchase!

Cons

I would be optimal if Hiretual automatically updated CRM and ATS software. (there may be APIs for this)

Pros

I use it daily - it's perfect for building boolean strings and making my job just a little bit easier :)

Cons

The UI continuously pushed itself into my searches, even when I was already reviewing the candidate that I had found while using Hiretual. It felt like there was a glitch.

I benefitted by quick identification of relevant candidates - I was able to fill hard to find positions.

Pros

Hiretual creates boolean searches, gives options of skills, quickly searches across networks and job boards for relevant passive candidates for me to view. Customer Service is responsive and helpful. They keep making this a better product.

Cons

I have a paid program but have not been able to upgrade yet for the added benefits they offer- my issue not theirs.

I save a ton of time which equates to saving a ton of money!

Pros

Speed and accuracy of search capabilities. The amount of detail that is returned is great. I also like that it searches multiple social media sites.

Cons

I have found that the machine learning aspect of this product is not as intuitive as I would like to see. I understand that this needs time to develop preferences.
