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.

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.

Pros Free Trial is great for a start up experience Cons after the trail, you will be dealing with bots and no real customer service, avoid!

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 Tim W. Marketing Manager Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use platform, big issue for American companies" June 14, 2024 4.0 Initially they had their customer service chat based but have switched to ticketing systems. The communication time back and forth has increased and the quality of solutions have decreased. Recruitee worked with Indeed for about a year, however, recently the connection stopped. At this point, Indeed says that they are all set up to accept and transfer jobs to Recruitee but Recruitee is blaming Indeed. We are going to be likely switching away from Recruitee because despite the blame game - nobody seems to want to get ahold of each other and solve the problem. Pros We enjoyed how easy it was to set up Recruitee. The web page builder is straight forward and easy to use. Managing candidates for hiring managers is clean and easy. Cons Recruitee has no connection with Indeed. Indeed is one of, if not the leading recruiting companies in the United States. Our ATS won't work with Indeed which essentially makes Recruitee a useless platform as we have to constantly add positions through Indeed and then link them back to Recruitee, wasting a huge amount of time saved with Recruitee. Additionally, most of the actually useful features for medium sized companies are locked behind Enterprise - and most new features that are launched are specifically for Enterprise tier users. Recruitee is not a cheap ATS, so to have what seems to be 90% of their development time being devoted to Enterprise only is a bit frustrating.

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.

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!

Recruiting Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This AST system has changed my life!" July 22, 2020 5.0 Each time you need assistance with anything, the company has an amazing customer service response and the speed in which they respond is amazing. Pros Prior to using this ATS system, everything was unorganized and difficult to track each candidate. This tracks all of the interviews and interactions with the candidates. This has changed my life as a recruiter and organized our process with ease. The templates for emails is fantastic and the pipeline is great. We are able to customize everything to fit our needs and making changes is easy. I am not the most technical person, but this system is easy to navigate for even me. Cons The only thing that I see that could change is, it would be nice to have the phone number go in with the right format. I have to always out the (-) in between the numbers so they can be read easier when dialing the candidate. Review Source Response from Tellent August 3, 2020 Dear Cheryl, Thank you for taking the time to review Recruitee! The Customer Support team is thrilled to hear such good feedback. We are pleased to read that Recruitee has made such an improvement for your recruitment processes. This is exactly why we created it! 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. Kind regards, The Recruitee Team VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder & CTO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" May 12, 2021 4.0 Centralise all the open positions, track candidates and follow the recruitment process Pros Recruitee is pretty easy to use, and the team was onboarded with no problem. the kanban view of candidates is very convenient, and the stages can be adapted to our own recruitment process as well Cons The career page itself does the job, but it lacks some flexibility to make it look great. You can't set a job as "remote" for instance, or open in multiple locations. We have several offices, and some roles are location-indifferent, so we'd like to show it's open in multiple locations. Instead, we have to duplicate it which is very inconvenient, doesn't look good on the page, and also we can't have an overview of candidate across the duplicated roles. Reason for choosing Tellent Recruitee Cost, at the beginning, but then they increased it and we're locked with a given number of roles. Any upgrade means getting their new pricing grid which makes them not competitive anymore. As we grow we'll have to consider alternatives Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Unexpected price increase after subscription" April 23, 2020 4.0 Pros The basic features of an ATS are presents and works good. Video question. Cons Lack of features : nurturing, automation based on questionnaire answers, no date and number type for questionnaire answers. Some issues with automated emails. After I subscribed for the trial and start really testing the tool and even some discussions with their salesman the price changed. It's not just a normal increase. It doubled!! It's not fair and probably not legal. Review Source Response from Tellent April 28, 2020 Thank you very much for giving our tool a try. Sorry to hear about your experience. We aim for the highest quality in our product and our service - and take this matter very seriously. After having a look at your review, it seems that you subscribed in the middle of our plan update. We moved away from slot-based pricing and launched feature-based plans (with tiers Launch, Scale, Lead) after almost a year of preparation. You signed up in the middle of this process. With our new feature offering, we have indeed raised the prices slightly. However, for 99/mo you now get 5 job slots (first Launch plan), instead of the former 79/mo plan with 4 jobs. So effectively, per job, there was no raise here. We're afraid there has been a misunderstanding, as our new tiers certainly do not always result in higher prices. Instead, by adding different features in each plan you effectively only pay for the features you plan to use! Can we reach out to you and see what plan matches your budget best? LW Lizzie W. Growth Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An alright recruiting platform" June 26, 2020 4.0 Overall handles our pipeline well but doesn't have many extra useful features Pros Nothing mind blowing about it, but does exactly what its meant to and covers whole pipeline need for recruiting on a large scale Cons \- Would be good to be able to add fields to candidates that can be filled in when they apply insted of just questionnaires - Support and features to help diverse hiring would be fab! (e.g. job description text bias checker, stats on diversity at various pipeline stages etc) Review Source Response from Tellent July 7, 2020 Dear Lizzie, Thank you for taking the time to review Recruitee! Feedback such as yours is very valuable for us, as it provides guidance when we're improving our product and services. We're pleased to read that you're satisfied with using Recruitee for bigger pipelines and recruiting at a larger scale. Have you looked at using screening questions in the 'apply stage' of the applicant? They can be a good addition to the questionnaires. With regard to diverse hiring, we are looking into new possible features we could add to tackle hiring biases. We do have some options in place for that, like the CV parser and making the applicant photo requirement optional, but we certainly want to add more features to foster a diverse hiring process. If you have additional feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via our support team, or leave responses on our regular customer surveys. Many thanks! Kind regards, The Recruitee Team AZ Anna Z. HR Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive ATS" July 28, 2021 4.0 Pros The user interface of the tool is very straight forward. This is the third ATS I've used and I would say that it generally has majority of the features you'd look for in an ATS. It has different reports for recruitment KPI tracking, calendar sync for scheduling, email templates, auto-mated email response, various access restrictions for panel interviews, etc. Their help portal has video guides which is helpful if you're a visual learner. Cons It's sometimes missing some small features or limitations of what it can do. A few includes preventing admins from seeing their own profiles, ability to further limit some confidential information (they have a method but it's sometimes not the best), when you send interview invitation via Microsoft teams sync, you can't rename the meeting invitation on Teams.

Co-Founder Publishing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Extremely efficient recruiting software" July 8, 2020 5.0 Recruitee has helped us vet thousands of applicants to our company in the last few years. Pros The software is incredibly intuitive and makes recruitment hassle-free. Cons Within the software, you should be able to auto-block a candidate that definitely will not be hired. Review Source Response from Tellent July 9, 2020 Dear Emma, Thank you for leaving a review of your experience using Recruitee! The team is thrilled to hear such good feedback and we're proud to be the product you've relied on for the last few years to process your applicants. We would like to know more about what you mean by 'auto-blocking' a candidate, as our automated actions feature can trigger a number of actions when you disqualify a candidate. Feedback such as yours guides us when improving our product and services. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team with regard to the disqualifying actions available in Recruitee, or leave responses via our regular surveys. Thank you again for taking the time to review our product. Kind regards, The Recruitee Team AQ Adeel Q. Founder Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software, but it comes at a price: financially and data lock-in" April 14, 2020 4.0 Pros Recruitee is a well designed ATS software. Many of the key functionalities required to successfully recruit a candidate are available. Setting up and implementing the software is relatively easy and straightforward. Recently introduced custom fields on the candidate profile, which is a good addition. Customer service generally responds within a day. Cons \- The candidate profile can feel a bit cluttered, they have done a decent job to manage the info. - Expensive option. With recruitee's tiered pricing strategy, you always have too many or too few 'active jobs'. In most cases, you will end up paying more than you need. There should be a more flexible option. - Data. There is a simple export function for candidates, but all the notes and other data collected is practically lost. Unless you are willing to invest in a developer that is willing to work with Recruitee's API to extract your data. This is a major dealbreaker. Unless you are entirely sure that this platform is a solid solution for the coming years, I cannot recommend this software. This kind of vendor lock-in is not appreciated.

Even the hiring managers like to keep the candidate files updated in the tool, which was a hassle with previous softwares. It has a lot of features which make it easy to use and very all round. I was a bit hesitate because there isn't a local contact point, but every time I reach out to the support team, they react within the hour. They provide the right information and are really helpfull. They constantly adjust the tool, so for the same amount of money, you keep updates. The tool gets better and better. Cons I think there can be some improvements made concerning referrals, possibilities concerning tasks and an area to keep documents, but they are working on some of these things. Reason for choosing Tellent Recruitee Price overall experience features Review Source CS Craig S. Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Drag & Drop, Super Powerful Recruiting Software" August 7, 2018 4.0 If you are a 10-200 employer you should seriously think about implementing Recruitee - great product! Pros If you are looking for recruiting software that is enjoyable to use then Recruitee should be on your list. I find the drag and drop functionality really great. These guys have also taken so much time to think about flexibility. From custom hiring process to job advert template and even so much flexibility on your sourcing strategy. You can have Recruitee setup without having to get any technical implementation teams involved and changing a few things is also something you can do quickly and by yourself. Dashboards are custom, useful and easy to use. Cons It is more suitable to smaller to mid size companies who are looking to implement something quickly, easily and do not want to be locked into predefined process like the larger providers do. No cons at all.

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.
