### "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)

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

### "Recruitee is easy to use"

June 11, 2019

5.0

I remember when every applicant came to my email, and I'm so happy those days are over. I'm happy we are using Recruitee and I'd recommend it if you are having any issues tracking your applicants.

Pros

I love how many things you can customize with Recruitee. The pre-screening questions, the hiring pipeline, hiring pools, and so much more can be customized for what your organization needs. It's a clean interface which keeps things really organized. It keeps all the communication with the candidate in one place. It also allows you to limit access to your hiring pool depending on their role. The archive feature is great. When you turn off a job everything is kept in the archive, which makes it super easy to turn the job back on - no more re-writing job ads every time! Recruitee also tracks if an applicant has applied more than once, or for the same role. It can also merge profiles together. This is a really helpful feature!

Cons

I checked out ziprecruiter and they had a deal breaker feature (ie. if an employee doesn't answer a question a certain way they are disqualified). Recruitee doesn't have this feature, but it would be nice addition. As Recruitee offers more and more features, the price is increasing. It's not crazy expensive, but the price creep is on my radar.

### "Pas au niveau"

June 4, 2021

1.0

Catastrophique, à l'inscription à la version gratuite, une commerciale vous harcèle, la version d'essais est tellement limitée en fonctionnalités qu'elle ne permet pas de la tester réellement. Une fois payée et testée en conditions premium, on se rend compte que la diffusion multicanale n'est clairement pas au niveau des concurrents. 4 propositions non qualifiées versus 38 pour la même annonce sur un logiciel concurrent. Après échange sur ces problèmes objectifs, le service financier refuse de rembourser... SAV déplorable, c'est une coquille vide. Le design ne fait pas tout.

Pros

L'ergonomie et le design ce sont les points forts.

Cons

le manque de jobboards, la diffusion est inefficace.

Bonjour Florent, Merci de nous alerter de votre experience qui ne correspond pas a nos standards de service client. Notre equipe commerciale contacte en effet les entreprises en train de tester Recruitee, gratuitement pour leur offrir une consultation gratuite et les aider a choisir parmi nos options celle qui leur convient le mieux. Il est regrettable que vous ayez decide de ne pas beneficier de cette prestation sans engagement et que vous ayez opte a la place pour une souscription annuelle en self service. La multi-diffusion fait partie integrante de notre systeme avec plusieurs job boards standards , mais aussi la possibilite de publier les postes sur d'autres jobs boards, je joins l'article ci-dessous et notre equipe Support se serait fait un plaisir de vous aider avant votre annulation. https://support.recruitee.com/fr/articles/1066240-postez-vos-offres-sur-des-job-boards-non-connectes-a-recruitee

### "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.

### "Quite a good option for recruitment software"

December 12, 2018

4.0

I think it is a great software for recruitment, however, there are many things to improve to make it 'the best' software out there, like more filtering options. And for GDPR, it'd be great if the deletion could be automatically set.

Pros

I enjoy the design of the software and how easy it is to add candidates and browse their profiles, how many functions it has, allowing for scheduling meetings, sending emails, having all the attachments available in the same area, how easy it is to create different pipelines for different positions. I also really appreciate them adding GDPR related options.

Cons

The way in which the emails are being displayed is highly confusing as it's not chronological and doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. In addition, there are functions that should be available.. like searching for candidates using several filters at a time, for example, I can search everyone who speaks Spanish for example but cannot search people who speak spanish AND who have a secondary education (just to give a random example).

### "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.

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.

### "Changed the way we hire"

April 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

Recruitee has a gorgeous user interface that allows us to organize applicants in a streamlined way. This has changed the way we schedule interviews, send offer or thank you letters. We searched for a long time before finding Recruitee and are completely satisfied with the product.

Cons

A custom form would be the only thing missing from this software. If I could embed a custom application form on my "Apply" page of the website, and have it automatically populate the Recruitee back-end, I would be ecstatic. As of right now we're doing it with the tools provided, which is mostly fine.

### "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.

### "Shady billing policies"

December 15, 2020

1.0

Pros

Although the software is nice, they limit the functionality heavily and push you to upgrade to higher plans almost monthly.

Cons

When we tried to cancel our plan, they still billed us for additional month saying we did not cancel. You need to go through several pages do cancel your subscription and although your impression will be that you are cancelled, most likely you will be charged still. When we discovered this one day later, they still refused to give us refund. I would avoid adding your credit card here.

Dear user, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please know that we're taking this matter very seriously, as our objective is to deliver the highest quality for our customer services and product. There seems to be a misunderstanding about our features plan, which we would like to clarify. All our customers benefit from the functionalities available with the pricing plan they are on. As for our billing process, within the Recruitee system, you can always see the next billing date and have the cancellation option available with a confirmation of the action. Unfortunately, as this review is anonymous, our customer support team has no means of reaching out to you to investigate this case. We do recommend you contact the team, so they can look into the situation with your account. Kind regards, The Recruitee Team

### "The go-to ATS for start-ups and small-size enterprises"

December 12, 2019

4.0

Pros

A combination of the following: - Ease of use - Great value for money - Recent high pace of delivered new features

Cons

The reporting features. They are quite limited and the data is not accurate (pipeline tracking seems broken or is impacted heavily by "human error").

Dear Ina, Thank you for sharing your feedback! Our Customer Support team is very happy to hear about your review. At Recruitee, we aim to offer the best possible customer experience for our users. Regarding the email logo, is it available online? If yes, then you should then be able to choose "copy image address", then paste it into the signature. This should add it as an image. Alternatively, there is also the option to add HTML to the signature. Here you would need to use code but it would allow more customization. We do encourage you to reach out to the support team with any questions, as they are always available to help. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review!

Mi experiencia con la herramienta ha sido fabulosa.

Pros

Una herramienta completa para llevar efectivamente el proceso de reclutamiento y selección. Constantemente la están actualizando permitiendo que el proceso sea más automatizado y personalizado para los postulantes y futuros colaboradores.

### "Intuitive software, great support!"

February 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

The software is very intuitive. 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.

September 16, 2019

5.0

Fantastic product. Allows us to organize our team, keep a robust record of candidates for proactive and rainy day opps, and generally gave us a framework to up our recruiting game. Highly recommended.

Pros

It organized our recruiting efforts, ensuring candidates didn't slip through the cracks. Also enabled collaboration. Specifically enjoy: email logging, candidate records are easy to find info and organized, collaboration is easy / intuitive, easy to structure templates to customize. So much better than a spreadsheet!

Cons

It's only as useful as your team is bought into it. Not a con, but make sure you onboard and enforce your teams use.

### "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.

December 24, 2015

We've started with Recruitee and we had the whole system running in no time. When we faced difficulties with the website it took a little longer to solve the issue. It's quick and easy, chatoption with help is nice. The options for customization of the site are limited, but they are working on further improvements. Also the cost aspect is very friendly, for a smaller business perfect. A lot of technology for a very nice price. Overall we're satisfied and we like the improvements that Recruitee is constantly making!

Pros

quick start includes a website complete ATS functionality multiposter option can adjust procedure per vacancy quick help lot of value for your money

Cons

the options for the "look and feel" for the website are limited (but they are working on it) functionality for talentpooling isn't ready jet when emailing from Recruitee the candidate doesn't see your normal email address but a very complicated (shady looking) emailaddress.

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.

### "Recruitee: Great customer support, not so great software"

August 7, 2019

4.0

I was looking for a solution for what we are trying to implement lately, We are in need of a software that not only will be a powerful ATS but also an easy to manage "recruit-a-friend" solution. Unfortunately recruitee lacks of hard of customizations, and for that purpose it gives only the ability to "share" a job that your company posted but does not give you the ability, as a "referral", to followup with the status of their referee's application but I loved how their team genuinely did all the best to help us in trying to find a workaround, that really shows how much they care about it.

Pros

No doubt about it, the customer support received was phenomenal.

Cons

Unfortunately it's an extremely limited software with no costumization whatsoever. It comes in a block, you have to love that block.

### "A cloud-based applicant tracking and hiring platform."

August 15, 2018

4.0

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.
