Recruitee Software

Recruitee is a Tool which gets the Job done. It makes you scream at times and the UI makes you wonder wether the curses you just heared actually really came out of your own mouth. Then again it provides a hassle free way to set up Job offerings, keeps applicants in a clean status and supports your day to day work with simplifications that save you time (once you learned the UI).
My general opinion is, it actually Recruitee still IS worth the price but I somewhat fear for the products future as in my impression Recruitee has been overrun by its own success, growing much too fast and loosing track of the fact, that a feature is only as good as its useability. Hopefully it does not choke on going too fast and finds its way back from a bucket list of features to delivering them enjoyably and in a user oriented way.

Pros

Back weh we started to use Recruitee we had a bunch of Email boxes and excel files. All our Job offerings were hand made and someone had to invest a huge amount of time making connections, answering emails and often only one step ahead of mishaps, confusion and losing potential candidates. This all changed when we introduced Recruitee. All of a sudden we had Trackable job offerings, Pipelines for candidates, a truly reliable control for who had access to what, Email templates and even some basic reporting. It was like a whole new world for us, and a great one. Today soe of the Features remain great. The Pipelines and Process structure for aplliccants works like a charm. Also building job offerings and integrating them into our career portal works really fantastically. Email templates are used a lot still as are the team discussion functionalities for applicants. Also sharing an application for a limited time with key members of the team he is supposed to work in is really easy, reasonably secure and easy to do.

Cons

All the Core Features are there and are okay. In May Areas however the user Interface suffers. PDF files, especially for the CV is a chore to use with magnification functionalities that make me scream. Also lot of the simple and clean user experience from teh early days has been cluttered up by additional features. As someone who designed UI and UX for a living I feel okay to say: Especially the recently added Email functionalities have never been properly user tested. The UI is hard to learn and in this particular area. The support works fast and is verry willing to help but often helpless regarding (our specific) cases. Basically a major UI Overhaul is something I would whish for intensely, especially if it could bring back the simplicity and ease of use from the early days

Pros

It was very easy for us to get this system set up and start using.

Cons

Still learning, but I would like a way to include videos to the application process and have them attach to the file.

I wanted to be able to publish a job offer, collect applications, evaluate the applicants and have an helicopter view of the whole process. Recruitee allowed me to publish our career site in 3 clicks, manage applications and follow our pipeline of candidates very easily.

Pros

The solution is user-friendly and packed with features. I was looking for a Lever replacement (I work in a SMB and we don't have the budget for Lever) and I'm very happy with Recruitee.

Cons

The user interface could be easier to understand. One of the features I use the most (the pipeline) is about 3 clicks away from the main dashboard.
I had a hard time figuring out how to create an evaluation template as well.

Pros

The application is very intuitive, user-friendly and easy to set up. It is very cost effective with respect to the features it provides. It helps to enable job promotions and source talent for your organization. You can create notes for your team. It enables to schedule interviews and tracks the activities of your team. They have a chrome extension that does job postings to several job websites. The application collaborates with both the hiring desk and the applicants and thereby you can schedule interviews with ease. Based on the number of vacancies available, you can adjust the hiring workflows. The customer service and support team are very quick in response and are available round the clock. Recruitee allows easy navigation.

Cons

There is no Linkedin integration and google calendar sync. It lacks advanced reporting features. The program does not implement Boolean searches.

OK Software, but I wouldnt engage with them as you'll eventually need support, and then you'll be stuck wishing you choose another platform.

Pros

OK Product. Really not bad, it's relatively easy to use, and you can get quite far with it in terms of automation.

Cons

Terrible, terrible support. Every time I've had a (simple) question it's resulted in a disappointing customer service. Their customer support team is as helpful as if it were a pre-written bot outputting random responses.

This software saved a lot of our time for adminitrating resumes and also helps to monitor the recruitment processes very easily. It is simple and easy to use.

Pros

Recruitee software is easy to use and if there are any questions, customer support reacts very fast. There are the main functions that a recruitment team needs and recruitee offers on-time developments and additional functions.

Cons

I couldn't name any cons regarding this software, the updates we're in need specifically for our company have been implemented as the Recruitee team works very well and reacts very quickly to our requests and ideas.

Re-organised all the recruiting channels around Recruitee, benefited from integrations such as importing from Linkedin. Career website easy to set up and clean

Pros

Ease of use, follow the progress of a role search, add reviews for a candidate, add interviewers with limited access, browse through history of candidates

Cons

The career website customisation can be improved with further customisation. cost is quite high for smaller organisations

Pros

It was extremely easy for me to set up on recruitee and list my job. I got a lot of great applicants as a result

Cons

Potentially it could have been done manually, but realistically it was worth it in terms of time saved

Pros

Great technical support easy to use an easy design a very didactic screen to understand it. Improve your performance when you start using it your business increases in great potential

Cons

Some problems with synchronization with Gmail. It has some flaws with the storage of its own servers but we hope they can improve it

Revolutionised our recruitment process.

Pros

It has made it so much easier to keep track of the process and actually get us to bring in better candidates and smooth out innefficiencies.

Cons

Not supported some features on hand-held devices which would be really useful in the future. They should really implement that and I am sure that they will.

Pros

it's super easy to use. Our recruitment process is so efficient and its really easy to use with our clients, we are all able to look at the same organization and candidates while sharing notes and thoughts without having to meet in person.

Cons

There needs to be some features love. There have been lots of features released since we started using the software, however, some Canadian job board love would be awesome!

Pros

Everything from the ease of use to how much time it has saved me in my working day - it has completely transformed the way we handle our business.

Cons

Nothing at all - but would be a 'nice to have' if Tasks were visible on the iPad app version and phone.

Pros

The overview, the possibilities for collaboration (internal and external) and the great customer service.

Cons

Scheduled e-mail features would make it even better and sync with Gmail could work better.

had no ATS before - able to set up quickly, stop playing email ping-pong, and get all applications and relevant information stored in one place

Pros

Quick and easy to set up, easy to customize and adapt to company processes, allows for quick applications, offers multiple ways to add CVs. Great customer service.

Cons

Bulk-mail do not fully function yet - did not integrate my signature, which I only found out after asking customer service. Based in Europe with no customer service in other time zones yet - though quick to answer during their business hours.

Total Management of Recruiting process, across all channels.

Pros

-Ease of use.
- Collaborative features
- Integration with email
- Integration with job boards
- Visual pipeline management

Cons

- Email integration is a bit buggy
- Calendar integration is a bit rudimentary
- Employee list lacks sorting (by create date only)

Makes me faster, keeps me organized.

Pros

It's easy, so so so easy. It's not that expensive. They have clever tools that I didn't know I wanted until I saw them, like the ability to source applicants you look at with a chrome extension, a dummy proof careers page that is customizable, an internal kanban board, the ability to share with people who don't want to login to anything (HR peeps you know what I am talking about). Easy integration with free job boards and all resumes are searchable (this is key for finding people in your past pools, that you think would be good for new jobs that opened up, its better than having to "tag" everything liek a lot of ATSs require). They know their EU data law compliance and general knowledge of EU laws associated with recruiting (So US, we aren't good at this one... )

Cons

The only things I would change are how the sourcing code is generated for sites so if I get something off angel, I jsut want that code generated, it's easy and doable as is, but I was spoiled by my last ATS that did it for me.

Pros

Just loved it, it's awesome, and I can see there is a lot of effort put on the ATS. Also, the contact from support was amazing, she is motivated to understand my needs. I think that the type of subscription also makes a lot of sense for my company.

Cons

I would like to have a CRM tool also, and I would probably would like that once in the RECRUITEE CRHOME EXTENSION, and in Linkedin, that I immediately could upload the cv, or the program would do from the candidates' page, this would speed up things.

Ability to allow clients access to my system, so I can work with them in the collaborative and transparent way that we love

Pros

I spent days evaluating 30+ ATS's via trials / demos etc. (and looking at hundreds overall). This was the ONLY one that had what I needed. I work very collaboratively with my clients and want to be able to let them into my platform. This allows me to do so, and the permissions are so incredibly comprehensive and flexible I can work with them in an endless number of ways. the search / filters are incredible as well, so this allows really easy report creation for me, as well as transparency. The service and people are fantastic -- top notch team. I'm so excited and relieved to have found them. And pricing is fantastic as well. UI is fantastic. Careers site is wonderful. Reseller model incredibly advantageous. This is a product I can believe in.

Cons

Copy and paste from Word into job description for posting (even when using the copy/paste from word button) is not good (bullets will go missing). There may be an easy workaround - I haven't asked them for help with that. And I really wish I could purchase ziprecruiter boosts on their site so I could get rid of my ziprecruiter subscription

Streamlined our recruitment process with the minimum of fuss, so we can now focus on what's important: finding great candidates. Their subscriptions are great value for money compared with other providers, and the user interface is streets ahead when it comes to clarity and ease of use. It can do with some more advanced scoring and reporting features, but they are actively improving the product with a transparent development plan - and the customer support is excellent.

Pros

Ease of use
Well designed functionality
Ease of implementation
Value for money
Great support

Cons

Lacks some more advanced scoring and reporting options

Advice to Others

Great for startups, but just as great for established organisation that want to reinvigorate their tired recruitment processes.

Recruitee is indeed a great tool, customer support is great, fast and in English, and from time to time it gets even better with improved tools and features. They listen to you and you can see their roadmap and also give your inputs. I highly recommend!

Pros

- Easy to use
- Good and easy layout
- Functionalities

Cons

- I wish we could have talent pools with the same layout of an open job
