We have been using HireHive (previously Zartis) for over 3 years, it's a key software management tool for us. There are a number of features that we like, its cloud based so it doesn't matter where we are located, we can log in and manage our activity. It is also very time efficient, a lot of the functionality is automated we particularly like the fact that it links to social medial sites and job boards with just one click, so that saves us huge time. Over the past year, we have seen really great improvements to the site, things like their reporting functionality is much better and you can now run a variety of reports of the data that is there, and even display it in graphic format, so nice images for our reports to clients. So far candidates seem to find it easy to operate too which is really important for us.

Pros

We can list a number of pros to using Hirehive, certainly one of the things is that it is very cost effective, so it makes good sense to use it for even a few jobs. We have used it to hire over 100 peole in the past year and it certainly can cope with high volume activity - obviously we've managed thousands of CV through it. Another good thing about is the dashboard summay, you can see where you are on each job you have open at a glance and then can click into a role for more data if you need it. The automated list to job boards and to social media sites is a bit thing too - saves huge time for us so that definitely a positive.

Cons

a lot of the cons have been ironed out over the past year, as they have made really good improvements to a number of the areas.

Very good, helps a lot to organize recruiting activities.

Pros

Possibility to share Notes and make them restricted in case of need.

Cons

Non-existing category of reviewers category who don't see the Notes (peers). Non-existing possibility to move a candidate from different Hire Hive account (country). Non-existing possibility to hide candidates that I don't want to see. Too few colors to distinguish between different types of statuses.

After requesting a trial of HireHive 6 months ago. I decided after a brief run through of the system, that this was exactly what I was looking for as Recruitment Manager of Westbourne IT. We cancelled our subscription to our previous candidate management system and signed up. HireHive makes managing the interview process easy and transparent for all our admin users and hiring managers. It allows me to send emails directly to candidates at the click of a button based on whether we are progressing or regretting them. All email templates can be customised to our liking. HireHive is the best recruitment tool that I have used and would highly recommend it.

Pros

Love the flexibility around upgrading my current plan, we have the option to change this on a monthly basis. Very easy to add new candidates to the system that have come through a different job board. Very intuitive and easy to use. The support team are always online to answer any questions I have had in the past.

Cons

Would be great if the system would flag duplicate email addresses. Sometimes candidates can apply to the same job a number of times if I renew a post.

We moved all of our Recruitment needs onto Hirehive and therefore eliminated free trials and subscriptions with other companies. It was much more cost effective doing this and we had a number of employees at multiple sites comfortably using the system. Would definitely recommend.

Pros

The platform is easy to navigate through and use Multiple users allows other colleagues to be involved in the recruitment process & help manage candidates Support is given very quickly and efficiently when you raise an enquiry

Cons

Would be useful if you could group some of the job adverts into categories in future

The system was super fast to set up and learn. We didn't want to invest a lot of time in a new system so this was important for us. We've been using it for about 3 years and wouldn't be able to manage our recruitment without it.

Pros

Easy to use. Low cost. Does what it says on the tin.

Cons

Replying to notes and emails from candidates could be made easier.

Hirehive is the great ATS that gives you all the functionality that you need for your internal HR system (referrals) as well external system where you can post instantly on dozen relevant job boards in our case IT, and get immediately dozen applicants within a couple hours. So far there was no technical problems and no bugs so it looks reliable

Pros

We like the speed and realibilty as well as the UI. Publishing of the new roles takes 30 seconds to become live so need to waiting for a long time. Also applicants can be tag very easily in system and you can see their CV immeditaly in browser rather than downloading and then openning again. So in over all HireHive is fast, clean ,reliable and functional and I don't know what else you need to have in order to do your work. Also it's affordable.

Cons

Probably you should add more features in system ( like calling from browser,video,forecasting)
