Jeremy C.: Hi, my name's Jeremy. I'm a HR Generalist at Fair Two Education. We have about 100 employees worldwide and I would give Greenhouse a five out of five. So prior to using Greenhouse, we were using Jazz HR for our applicant tracking system, and we decided to switch Greenhouse just due to the simplicity of the software and the functionality of better onboarding and interview close. So Greenhouse's onboarding software was incredibly helpful and has really changed the game with how we automate tasks, onboarding people, and then greenhouse's interview workflow has just made it so much easier for us to coordinate interviews with hiring managers and make sure that there's less bias within the selection process for our candidates. The initial integration was fairly easy to set up. Setting up a bit more complex templates and everything took a bit more time. But overall, transferring all of our data over from our old ATS was pretty painless, and we still have all that data readily accessible even in Greenhouse, now. Definitely look at what your goals are with your ATS and with your onboarding system. Evaluate how you want to set it up. First off, what role your hiring managers are going to play in as opposed to your HR team? And once you have those goals set up, you can more easily identify how your teams can work together and how you want to initially set up and integrate your software.

Aaron D.: Hi. I'm Aaron. I'm a managing director, and I would give JobAdder four out of five. For more reviews, click below. Previously, we used Recruit So Simple. This was a fairly basic CRM that provided simple search capabilities and record keeping, but not a great deal else. JobAdder was a real game-changer for us. It took us from what was effectively a static SQL database to a more intelligent SaaS-based solution with a much nicer UI that incorporated artificial intelligence, improved workflows, and perhaps of most use, a large selection of seamless integrations with the types of apps and software we're using on a daily basis, such as Office 365, Google Sheets, Calendly, LinkedIn, and Xero. It also gave us reporting and insight capabilities that we didn't have before. Getting started with both platforms was pretty painless. In both cases, the biggest headache we faced was data migration and setting it all up in the correct format. With JobAdder, I have to say that the process felt a lot slicker, from the initial approach from the salesperson to the demo and onto the onboarding and data migration process. We were handheld throughout and kept updated at regular intervals, and it didn't take particularly long to get up and running. The support team at JobAdder were very responsive and helpful. We were often guided towards self-help, to search through user guides or watch videos in order to find the answers that we needed. My recommendations when weighing up JobAdder would be to consider what stage your recruitment business is at and what functionality you're likely to need. My sense is that JobAdder is a great choice for more mature recruitment businesses and those who are looking for a more comprehensive CRM tool. In our case, we felt as though it was necessary to take the next step and upgrade the capabilities of our CRM to ensure we remained competitive in our industry.
