Talent Acquisition Specialist Ranching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Streamline your Hiring with the ATS " December 27, 2022 4.0 Pros Recruitee has proven to be an invaluable tool in our recruitment process, providing us with a comprehensive overview of our candidates and automating many of the steps, such as automated emails. It also integrates with Outlook seamlessly and is very user-friendly. Before Recruitee, we had no comparable software. Its fully adjustable pipeline allows us to customize it to include all stages of our recruitment process, and the email templates make communication with our candidates effortless and consistent. Cons As with any product, it can take some time to review, research, and launch updates or new features, however these changes are worth the wait and customers are kept abreast of developments.

Pros Everything is awesome; the public roadmap, the option to select who can see the comments, the ease of use and bulk actions, customizable everything, the customer support! And of course the careers site! Cons Sometimes it feels confusing navigating around the settings part.

Managing Partner/CEO Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Buyer Beware" November 10, 2017 2.0 For Americans this isn't the best bet as they are in Europe on pretty much an opposite time zone. Also is not good for recruiting teams, staffing agencies, and the like as they aren't really capable of supporting a mass amount of jobs without some negotiation. I look at service in a 360 perspective. The first 180 was good when we signed up but the other side of the coin was a huge let down - they literally just stopped communicating with us even though they are holding 500+ applicants and all of the data we have on them. It's still there now, with no way to access it or do anything about it without shelling out cash to a third party. Hugely disappointing. It is due to my overall experience that I can not, in good conscience, recommend this product to anyone but my competitors because I know ultimately it won't go the distance for them and will put them at a disadvantage, which in the long run will benefit us. It is what it is. Pros This product was very easy to use, also the customer service during our companies onboarding to the product was great. There was no shortage of help. They even worked with us to develop a solution that included more jobs as we maxed out their highest plan almost immediately. Cons Ultimately we left Recruitee because we needed something that could handle ATS, hiring, onborarding, and communications with and to existing staff. When we let it be known that we were leaving the tone of everything abruptly changed. No more customer service, our contact no longer communicated with us, and the IT team just sent us a link to their API to retrieve our data encompassing over 500 applicants in varying stages. Upon further investigation the API that they provided left the data in several pieces. In order to retrieve it we were forced with the option of developing custom script on our own or paying a developer a rate, which was the lowest bid we could find due to the time it would take to extrapolate it all. Ultimately with this Recruitee let us down. They boast that all of the data you insert into their system is yours but that's not necessarily true. Review Source Response from Tellent December 29, 2017 Dear Ken, We're sorry to hear about your experience. We always aim for the highest standard of customer service and experience. We appreciate your feedback and we would like to take this chance to improve. First of all, we're happy to hear that you had a positive experience during the onboarding. As you can see on other reviews, our Customer Support is rated highly by all users. To make sure all of our customers experience the same standard of support, we have a dedicated Customer Support team based in the US. They can be reached via different channels such as the live chat, email, and phone. I wish you would have had the chance to meet them, they would have been more than happy to help you during your office hours. Second, it is correct that we have tailored plans for companies with a bigger number of jobs. The main reason is that bigger companies often need more support for onboarding. To personalize these services, we find it important to discuss in order to offer the best tailored package if you're interested. Finally I would like to let you know that the data in Recruitee is yours. We never use or sell candidate data or any other information you collect. We offer a standard API export for all users. We hope in the future, we could customize it further so that it can fulfill more complex export requests. Best regards, Simone LL Loukas L. HR Director Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "a user friendly, easy to roll out ATS constantly evolving" July 9, 2020 5.0 Pros easy to learn and use, unlimited users, integration with free and paid job posting sites, customizable micro site for our adverts. Cons Application form could be more customizable. Also it would be nice if custom filters could be saved for future use Alternatives considered [Zoho Recruit](https://www.capterra.com/p/125768/Zoho-Recruit/)[Workable](https://www.capterra.com/p/130175/Workable/) Reason for choosing Tellent Recruitee user friendliness, price plan (unlimited users), great response from customer service Review Source Response from Tellent July 23, 2020 Dear Loukas, Thank you for sharing your experience with using Recruitee. It is great to read that you find Recruitee easy to learn and use, that is something that we strongly focus on. We built Recruitee as a tool that is accessible, easy to use, and fit for purpose no matter how big or small the team. As for your feedback on the applications form, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team to make sure you're using the Recruitee features to their fullest.

Cons The inability to change some processes in an ongoing recruitment. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing Tellent Recruitee It's more affordable for the size of my company, and the value is awesome. Review Source Janosch F. Human Resources Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Mixed Bag with some really shiny aspects besides some disappointing letdowns" November 23, 2018 4.0 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 Review Source Response from Tellent November 26, 2018 Dear Janosch, Thank you for your feedback. We prioritize the customer experience above all else. As our product grows, so too do the UX challenges we face, which is why we have a dedicated team working on some exciting improvements to ensure a simple design and a great user experience. We'd be more than happy to keep you in the loop for this! See DM for more details. Thanks again. Kind regards, Perry Oostdam CEO / Co-founder Diana S. Daglig leder/CEO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It was one of the best choices I've made, it saves tons of time for our recruitment team!" June 17, 2018 5.0 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. Review Source Tarek S. M. Tech Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's very useful and easy to use but expensive comparing it to similar tools" November 28, 2021 5.0 I am happy with it but due to the expensive price we are moving to another solutions Pros You can easily get used to it and it's very handy Cons relatively expensive comparing it to similar software solutions Review Source Grégoire D. Head of Growth Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent value for money" November 2, 2018 5.0 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. Review Source Vijay A. Director & CEO Packaging and Containers Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Intuitive Application" October 22, 2016 4.0 We tried over 6-7 ATS and selected Recruitee over others for: - ease of use - pricing is very attractive - support is good The talent pool is used as place holder of less critical or off-beat Cvs which can be useful later. Their code less career page setup is very simple. Pros Simple to use. Screen Real-estate / navigation is too good... Cons Creating Custom Fields is currently kept for each CVs and this needs to be made as GLOBAL or for all as many times the customs fields are required for all. Wish there is a provision to LINK other country specific Job Portals viz: Naukri (for India) to make the tool more widely acceptable. Review Source MA Miriam A. Admin Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy and user-friendly " May 11, 2025 5.0 Excellent! So easy to use and collaborate with others Pros Easy to sort, categorize, apply tags. Easy to communicate with teammates Cons I think the cost is higher than is necessary Review Source Response from Tellent May 13, 2025 Hi Miriam, Thank you for sharing your excellent experience with Tellent Recruitee!

Recruitment Scientist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product that provides easy access to quickly set up a recruitment pipelien" November 30, 2020 4.0 overal it has been very smooth and positive. It has allowed our organisation to double in size in 2 yrs time. Pros Recruitee seems to have been build with the end-users in mind. As such it is very intuitive and requires very little explaination to my team. Cons The reporting feature does not work for us as we are used to a continuous hiring cycle and we do not close a job after hiring someone. This reporting feature isn't as important to us currently so it's by no means a deal breaker Alternatives considered [Lever](https://www.capterra.com/p/142452/Lever/)[Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Reason for choosing Tellent Recruitee price vs. features. Review Source Response from Tellent January 6, 2021 Dear Luuk, We want to start by saying thank you for the great feedback! The team is very happy to read your positive remarks about the product. Recruitee is indeed built as a user-friendly ATS that anyone can easily learn to work with. We hope you explore more of the functionalities we offer with our recently released Reporting feature and let us know what you think. This upgrade was launched in November 2020, and it allows for more customization to better fit different reporting needs. If you have any questions about this feature and others, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Support team. Again, thank you for taking the time to review Recruitee.

Talent acquisition specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is really easy to use" March 29, 2024 5.0 It has been really helpful and I don't see our company without it, I use it everyday and the best part is the we can set up automatic actions to help me with the screening process Pros I like the platform as it is user friendly, I also like the fact that I can use it on my mobile devices Cons I would love to have an option to change font and color of the actual plataform to mach our's organization Review Source Aik D. Founder Used the software for: ### "Excellent ATS, bringing Trello's user interface to candidate pipelines" April 24, 2015 5.0 Although the company only exists for less than a year, the product is already up there with the likes of Lever, Greenhouse and Workable, which have raised significantly more funding. In contrast to most older ATS', the user interface and the workflow is clean, simple and fast. This is crucial to our company as we process large volumes of jobs and candidates for our customers. And this gets time-intensive quickly. A lot better than the incumbent platforms like Taleo. Then there is the per-vacancy pipeline overview, where you can easily drag and drop candidates to different phases. I haven't seen that one with any ATS so far. Great. I can even manage all different customers/companies from one account. Mail communication, CV-checking, candidate reviews are all neatly integrated into one interface. Pro's: - Interface, workflow, clean design - Trello-like pipeline management interface - Auto-posting to 40+, mostly European job boards (I actually think some integrations are done manually bij Recruitee; which is fine). - No need for a 5-6k LinkedIn recruiter account for job posting (uses job credits) - Great customer service and quick response time. - Rapidly adding features / improving product. - One account, multiple companies & career portals. Great for freelance recruiters and headhunters. - Google apps integration, mailflow in email inbox as well as recruitee environment. Cons: - No sourcing module yet like Lever and Workable (add linkedin, facebook, github social profiles to talent pool); seems to be on roadmap though. - Seems to be mainly focused on small- & medium companies - Less suitable for US market - Reporting / analytics still basic - Like many ATS' out there, career portal design very basic. You are able to integrate job listings in a custom designed HTML/CCS page though. - When posting to some job boards, the company description on the career page isn't posted. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Food Specialist Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great candidate management software" April 25, 2022 5.0 Pros The integrations with the email, notifications and inbox makes easier to follow up the progress of the candidates and also makes easier to answer to the candidate's questions and inquiries. The overall layout and HUD of recruitee is great and the possibility to bulk edit the candidates information and status makes everything smoother. Cons Maybe a way to bulk click-select candidates from the job tab-pipeline to change the status of the candidates under that tab easier. As the normal workflow has to be done under the candidate's tab, also the lack of "filter by tags" under the job tab is something I miss for this program. Review Source AT Audrey T. Head of People Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for scale up company" December 4, 2020 5.0 Pros Automation, Easy implementation Reports Interface Cons Prevent interviewer to see others evaluations as long as s/he didn't provide his/her. It will reduce biais. Reason for choosing Tellent Recruitee Easy to implement UI friendly Review Source Response from Tellent January 6, 2021 Dear Audrey, Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's great to read that you find Recruitee easy to implement. It was designed with this specific goal in mind.

We will share your feedback on roles and permissions with the Product team, as product updates are strongly based on customer feedback. If you have additional feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team, or leave responses on our regular surveys. Again, thank you for taking the time to review Recruitee.

I think it's a good fit for any startup that needs an easy-to-use and GDPR-compliant recruiting system. Pros \- Easy to get the job portal live and customize it - Fast posting of new jobs, very easy to edit questions, people in charge, etc. - Easy to customize workflows - Fast employee enablement on using the software - Very convenient review of candidates using evaluations feature - recruiters prepare notes and we can read them - Good mobile app - always use it when doing interviews to view notes + resume, no more email searching Cons \- The mobile app broke many times for us and wouldn't work at all for weeks, then got fixed - Hard to find candidates we didn't go ahead with - Archiving positions makes it very hard to find if one needs to restore later Alternatives considered [Lever](https://www.capterra.com/p/142452/Lever/)[Personio](https://www.capterra.com/p/158622/Personio/) Review Source TD Tessa D.

January 28, 2020 4.0 Overall I am very happy with the use of Recruitee, nice and simple to use and a great customer support team who are always ready to help us out. Pros Recruitee is very easy to use and has some interesting features. What I like most about Recruitee is the helpful people in their customer support team. They always respond very quickly and are very supportive when we have questions about their product. Cons It would be helpful if there comes an automated way of shifting candidates who want to stay in our database versus candidates who want to be deleted in terms of GDPR. Also I would be interested in more features for retrieving interesting reports based on our recruitment data. Review Source TW Tong W. Recruitment Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best ATS at very reasonable price range" August 31, 2017 4.0 Pros User-friendly, easy to get up and running, clear dashboard, amazing support team with a good sense of humor. Way better than some more 'well-known' ATS. They really focus on making the product, but stay at super reasonable and affordable prices. Provide clear overview of pipeline and all kinds of customized adjustment per job. Supports career site. Love the team notes, review and task feature - so helpful. Very nice reports with data. Involve team members in recruitment and make communication easier and faster. Too many good functions! Love it as a recruiter. Cons \- should for sure integrate with Linkedin ASAP; this would significantly increase the value of this ATS - would love to see more data in reports and maybe allow recruiter to set up what they want to keep an eye on and analyze - calendar should sync with Google calendar both ways - now we are not using this feature at all because it doesn't allow the sync the other way around - when I write reviews, I would love to be able to go back to check CVs without losing my incomplete reviews Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Beauty Studio Coordinator Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Helped organize our application and hiring process." May 8, 2019 5.0 Pros Beautiful, intuitive interface that allows us to manage applicants easily. This was a huge undertaking for us as we grew and Recruitee had most of the features we needed. I love the feature that allows you to create a custom website page that acts as your "Careers" page. Cons Really wish they had a HubSpot form integration. If applicants could fill out a form and automatically enter into Recruitee it would save a ton of hassle. Review Source KM Kytheranialynn M. People Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing Recruitment Platform" June 13, 2022 5.0 Recruitee is such a fantastic platform because they are constantly improving and seeking customer feedback, allowing us to get the maximum benefit. Pros I love Recruitee so much that we opted not to use our HR platform's hiring function. We have hired some of our top performers through Recruitee. I am excited to review the new updates and begin hiring again. Finally, they have one of the best customer service departments, chats, and feedback functions I have ever seen. I have higher standards for customer service in any platform moving forward because of them. Cons Little bugs here and there. They resolve issues reasonably, quickly, and effectively. Any cons are mainly related to functions that are already in progress to be improved. Overall they are doing an outstanding job. Review Source AS Angie S.

It also helps to to post to job boards & other social media platform. As a user it was easy to post the job. Every day you will be notified with the latest candidates applied to your jobs.
