Pros

  • We appreciate the Czech version of the software as not all of our employes are comfortable in english environment.

  • Innovative ATS system with a great speed of AI development and amazing customer service.

  • The new version is very intuitive, easy to use and with new features. It helps us be faster and communicate better with clients and candidates.

  • Great support, intuitive and fresh navigation, top features with automation and cv parsing.

Cons

  • And if the recruiters mainly use linkedin as a communication tool with the developers we are not able to see their performance, because it is no included in the analytics.

  • I consider difficult to use automatic replies and templates.

  • I have a tiny complaining abut my left panel, because i want that gone when i working, but it cannot happen, i already was trying.

  • I dont like saved filters and some default mistakes.

"Lost in data without Recru"

Overall: In our business, it's often about who is the first to reach out to the candidate, capture their interest and engage with them. We started with Excel, but the database and the demands on the part of the clients grew over time. We had to decide whether to go to our own database or to a proven product that is constantly being updated. The choice was clear, working with data requires the whole person, in addition, the product must be maintained and constantly improved. Recru offered us a solution that we have never regretted until now. This is how we got a smart helper who makes our work incredibly easy. We greatly appreciate the support department's approach and openness to our requests.

Pros: Candidate search based on tags, transparent candidate process and work with him throughout the recruitment process. Statistical evaluation of the success of individual projects, as well as email automation and easy software control, these are just a few functions that we appreciate at Recru.

Cons: It's amazing that the software comes from the guys from IT and HR field. It is constantly evolving, and thus new functionalities and features are added, which make the life of a recruiter easier. It's nice to know that you are also contributing to the improvement of Recru with your ideas.

Reasons for Choosing RECRU: Personal consultation by one of the owners. The friendliness and setting of the test conditions convinced us that there are people behind it who have a lot to offer. We were not wrong...

"RECRU - Definitively best choice"

Overall: Implementation of RECRU was a long-expected and so desirable process in our HR department. Sadly, our ex-ATS didn´t fulfil our needs anymore and mostly it didn´t response to the situation on Slovak job market which lots of recruiters and talent acquisition specialists consider as critical. The deep lack of candidate and over-amount of vacancies cause that to own the excellent ATS is really necessary. Now, after half year of full production of our new ATS we can say how deeply we appreciate RECRU. Even though it was not easy way to implement new modern and cloud computing tool in pretty often old-fashioned corporate surrounding of gigantic bank often working with many years old applications and settings. Plus what we have to consider as well is highly strict regulations of banking sector (cyber security as a last but for sure not least).But he we are. Using RECRU mostly for candidate tracking and candidate management, being aware of the great potential of RECRU in Talent acquisition, Talent management and HR management. Eventually we are grateful for the experience of implementation, of golden patience of provider and constantly willing and kind communication of the helpdesk. We are finally ready to face really challenging job market situation. Last but not least, thanks to RECRU we are able to safe considerable amount of time of our Talent Acquisition Specialists and HR business partners. Thank you RECRU. We´ve never regretted the decision to start cooperate with you.

Pros: - always kind communication and unending willingness of provider- abilities to dealing with many stakeholders withing our company- the golden patience with not always perfect organized company implementation team- the great effort to always adjust tool to our needs- willingness to provide not always paid customizations of the product according our suggestion- understanding of our company´s surrounding, culture and relations - constantly improvement and working on upgrades of the tool

Cons: - less adjusting to internal HR surrounding (many features are developed exactly for recruiter agencies and external HR)- client zone has high potential for using, however the internal clients can´t benefit from that the way, how they want (history, own managing with candidates)- ticket system for communication which is not compatible with strictly regular surrounding of the banking sector

Reasons for Choosing RECRU: There were couple of reasons:- Professional attitude- It´s worth the money- Clear expression for our developers and cyber security specialist´s questions- Overall willingness and excellent communication - Ability to adjust to our needs
Reasons for Switching to RECRU: Our internally developed recruitment tool was totally outdated, unfortunately user unfriendly tool which didn´t fulfil our needs at all. Implementation of new ATS was the top priority of the year 2022. As a great company, we are aware of the necessity and importance of excellent ATS which creates the basics in (not only) internal recruitment within company.

"Excellent product"

Pros: I've been using Recru for a year or two, and I must say, it's been a fantastic experience. The support team is incredibly responsive and always ready to help with any questions or issues that come up. The user design is top-notch—everything feels intuitive and looks clean, making it a pleasure to navigate through the app. Plus, it's easy to learn, so you can get up to speed quickly without any steep learning curve. It's also very accessible, which makes it a great choice for teams of all sizes. Highly recommend giving Recru a try!

Cons: There is still some room for improvement, but overall I can't find anything negative.

"Innovative ATS system with a great speed of AI development and amazing customer service"

Overall: RECRU has many progressive AI features, that I have not seen anywhere else. Can only recommend even for the reasonable pricing packages.

Pros: We in executivejob.cz have been using RECRU software over a year now and we could have not chosen better. I appreciate the user experience not only on the technical side of the system, but also a best practice in customer service.

Cons: The color. Also sometimes it s hard to sync the other apps, but there is a great and prompt technical support to help

Reasons for Choosing RECRU: Ahead of the others in parsing the CVs, searching in database, automatic evaluating and matching the candidates to projects and vice versa. It is also much much more customizable than the others.

"Easy way of candidate management"

Pros: Recru very much eased the cooperation of our recruitment team and candidate management. I very appreciate the Linkedin plugin, since this is something all of the recruiters use every day, and it shortens the time we spend by administration tasks. We are able to track the candidates progression easier too, so we do not keep them waiting as long in the process.

Cons: There are two things I feel could be imrpoved, once more people actively use recru, sometimes there are problems with the loading speed. And if the recruiters mainly use linkedin as a communication tool with the developers we are not able to see their performance, because it is no included in the analytics.

"Recru review"

Overall: The quality of our candidate database changed immensely, since using the software.

Pros: We most appreciate the amount of customisation we could set up in candidate profiles as well as projects. The integration with our processes was mostly easy, but we were seting up some of the proceses with recru limits in mind. We appreciate the Czech version of the software as not all of our employes are comfortable in english environment.

Cons: We are missing features, that would ease cooperation of multiple users on one project in the software. Like notifications, in software comunication (notes, flagging etc.)
