Cons There isnt anything that I dont like about hireEz, it can have some glitches just like any other platform. Review Source Tyra O. People Operations Specialist II Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Overall, a Great Tool! " May 18, 2026 5.0 Overall, we've had a great experience. I feel that we are adequately supported. We are getting everything out of the tool that we expected when we evaluated them. We are very happy. Pros I love that HireEZ has such up-to-date candidate info and that their AI search is so advanced. I feel like it takes so much of the heavy lifting off of my recruiters. We are getting GREAT value for our money with this tool. The candidate email functionality is great-- I feel like the campaigns have been really intuitive to use. We've picked it up quickly. Cons The onboarding was a little clunky. I think part of this is because HireEZ really wants to be accommodating to YOU and YOUR process, but I almost think it would be easier if they would lead you to best practices from other customers. Review Source R Reviewer Recruiter Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Effortless Sourcing and Engagement with HireEZ" December 2, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with HireEZ has been excellent. It’s intuitive, efficient, and has truly elevated my recruiting process. From sourcing hard-to-find candidates to automating outreach, it saves me time and delivers results. It’s become an essential part of my workflow and a tool I genuinely enjoy using. Pros HireEZ makes my recruiting process faster and more efficient with its intuitive, user-friendly interface. The AI-powered sourcing helps me find top talent quickly, even for hard-to-fill roles. I also love the automation features—they save time on outreach and follow-ups, allowing me to focus more on building relationships and making strategic hiring decisions. Cons While I really enjoy using HireEZ, one area for improvement is the occasional inconsistency in candidate contact information. Sometimes emails or phone numbers are outdated, which can slow down outreach efforts. It’s not a dealbreaker, but keeping that data more current would make the platform even more effective. Review Source R Reviewer Recruiter Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "All in one recruiting/sourcing tool " August 18, 2025 5.0 Great tool for building pipelines, viewing talent insights, talent mapping, and of course sourcing and messaging qualified candidates. Pros It's a great tool to find top talent outside of using LinkedIn (which is so expensive these days). HireEz is affordable and easy to use without leaving the platform! Cons Sometimes when sourcing I will put in mandatory requirements and it will show me profiles of candidates without those skills. Review Source Stephanie . Senior Talent Sourcer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "hireEZ is like having a whole team" April 14, 2025 4.0 overall, in the past, hiring EZ had more accurate information when it was hireTual. The features and integration piece has been great, and I can get positions on other sites through one source. I like that it has an integration with the ATS, which also makes recruitment easier. Pros I like the contact information aspect and seeing matching resumes. I also like the fact that when you post a position, it distributes your posting to other job boards for a wider range of candidates. Cons if there are a lot of contact information hiccups, you have to take the time to send them all to an engineer to correct them. If you have a large batch with dated or incorrect information, you have to go through it one by one to send to the engineer. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "AI aggregation is not always good" March 31, 2022 2.0 I have found that some of the information is correct BUT not better than other services. I would often run the same search on Whitepages and HireTual was no better. Also, this product did not offer good company phone date. If a number was offered it was publicly available HQ numbers. Pros I really did like the ease of use. The Chrome Extension was a perfect companion for identifying passive talent on LinkedIn. There is good interface with my ATS. Cons I found the AI generation of data and the matching data with probable email pattern to be troublesome. Often the work emails were out of date by several years. One key contact had an email listed that was 8 years old. It was a company he had left 8 years ago. Review Source Devon A. Head of Research and Project Management Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great contact information & access to database syncing, lacking boolean search capabilties" November 13, 2024 4.0 Pros Access to contact information and the abaility to easily import into our database (Crelate) with duplicate detection. Cons Sourcing in HireEZ has limited boolean search options, instead it is tag based, and the tagging is done with their AI and it's not very accurate. I find the contacts are over-tagged and it requires a lot of manual sorting to ensure proper fit. However, my company recruits in a complex space (life sciences executives) and the search parameters get really complicated, aking boolean search crucial for us. If you recruit in a space that is more straightforward and requires limited search parameters, then you will probably enjoy sourcing in HireEZ. Review Source NO Nate O. Recruiting Strategist Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A tool you can't live without as a recruiter or sourcer!" August 27, 2019 5.0 My overall experience is very positive and I would recommend this to any recruiting teams, whether you are a one person shop or a 500 person recruiting org. This tool is, and will continue to be a differentiator for sure!! Pros This tool is super intuitive and provides myself and team with information about our candidates that no other tool can! What I love the most about it is the AI sourcing function that does most of the heavy lifting for you while you are focused on engaging and building relationships with the candidates! It has increased my teams productivity 4X with their sourcing efforts and made a true impact on our overall quality of hire across the company. Cons The biggest con is the not having a 2-way integration with my ATS. Nothing other than that. Review Source Rebekah D. President Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Forget the rest, for Hiretual is the best!" August 22, 2019 5.0 As a sole practitioner, it's always a challenge to find that work/life balance. Hiretual has given me the opportunity to work fewer hours while increasing my productivity. A win/win! Pros This software is amazing. It cuts my sourcing time in half, freeing me up to call more clients, engage with more candidates, and make more placements. Definitely worth the cost. I've tried everything on the market and Hiretual wins, hands down. Cons The cost is a little steep for a sole practitioner, but the value outweighs the cost. Review Source Ryan M. Head of Talent Acquisition Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Hiretual - Disrupting Recruiting Tech" November 16, 2018 5.0 I started using Hiretual in their first year of business -- the tool had a ton of potential, and I initially used it to create boolean strings for me. After about a month of using the free product, I connected with COO, to learn more about their AI sourcing functionality. Over the past 2-3 years, I have become a super-user of Hiretual and the platform has become my #1 source of hire, I go to Hiretual before any other resource I have available to me. During our renewall negotiation with LinkedIn this year, I opted out of getting another LinkedIn Recruiter seat in favor of Hiretual seats. There is just so much more power and capability in Hiretual than there is in LinkedIn. Pros Hiretual makes searching easy - they give you the option to write (or even create for you) old school boolean strings, or you have the ability to use their AI search engine. The AI Search engine allows you to pick titles, mandatory/option skills, years of experience, diversity factors, citizenship vs sponsorship, geo-targeted searches, etc... A lot of recruiting products offer this search capability, but what the others don't offer is the ability to aggregate social profiles, contact information, professional networking sites, skill based assessments, salary range information, availability likelihood, etc.. You get all the information you'd normally use chrome extension galore for, all in one place, that is Hiretual. One feature they've had for a while that I recently started using on a daily basis is the Facebook search. In today's hyper-competitive engineering recruitment landscape, the need for personalized messages is at an all time high. Having access to the candidates facebook is not only another method for outreach, but also a research tool to write compelling messages that get the candidates attention. Cons There aren't many, but I do wish I had the ability to compare what I've already done on LinkedIn (Projects, Messages, notes, etc..) to what I've done in Hiretual. There's a lot of manual comparison back and forth to ensure the candidate I'm reaching out to via InMail isn't someone I've already talked to or reached out to in the past. Review Source R Reviewer Recruiting Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Hiretual is the best sourcing and recruiting buddy that you'll have!" January 3, 2019 5.0 Overall, Hiretual made it easy for me to search for great candidates, and it also made it easy for me to get their contact information such as emails and phone numbers so that I don't need to waste my limited InMails anymore to reach out to those candidates creating more great fits to my candidate pipeline. Pros I've been in the recruiting arena for ages, and sourcing for candidates was a walk in the park because of it. Hiretual made it easy for me to locate the candidate contact information. Hiretual can work with FB, LinkedIn, GitHub, etc., and once it recommends an email or phone number it is always precise. Since I like sorting things too, Hiretual made it possible for me to group candidates per project or per position I am recruiting which is nice because it makes it easier for me to track their candidate stage, next steps or job status. Cons The keyword searching or Boolean string is quite complicated because it needs more of the "ORs" than the usual one which makes an unfit candidate show up. However, with the recent update, they made Hiretual more powerful so it is very promising! Review Source Stefano E. Reruiter Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Hiretual. The helper you always wanted." July 26, 2019 5.0 Hiretual has helped a lot on finding accurate contact information and that is the biggest benefit I have realized. It takes time away from having to search the web for that information, and as we know all to well, "time is money". Pros The things I like best about Hiretual are ease of use, the job description parsing that it does, and how easy it makes it to find contact info for potential candidates. The AI search built in to Hiretual is also top notch and can really help find top talent faster. Overall everything Hiretual does it does well and really helps streamline the process from start to finish. Cons What is there to dislike about Hiretual? Overall the tool is great and they've made strides in their UI and ease of use. Before v3 I would've easily said the UI was one thing on that "dislike" list, but after v3 it's come a long way. There's still room for improvement on the UI and chrome extension side, but again it's come a long way since v1 and v3 has fixed a lot. The chrome extension could be streamlined into the desktop of Hiretual a little better, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. Review Source Kristina L. Recruiter Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "HireEZ review" June 27, 2025 4.0 Its great for finding qualified candidates quickly and being to add them to our ats. I alos like the engagements tools. Pros Ability to quickly source for candiates based on the jd or resume that i choose. The options to filter and boolean search. Cons Initial training session that was provided was rushed. Ive been able to schedule additional trainings that have been great! Review Source JJ Jennifer J. Lead Technical Sourcer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Must have if you are a serious recruiter!" September 4, 2019 5.0 Over the years, I have tried many different means of noting my outreach to candidates and nothing has been anywhere as efficient in regard to how Hiretual tracks my outreach and marketing. As a Sourcer, I can easily email over 300 people in one day. It would take me hours to notate that in many systems and it takes hiretual seconds. Pros I love that I can keep my entire candidate pool in one place. Organization is vital to recruiting. Having one place to keep all my notes of my entire candidate pool is a life saver. Not to mention, I can run quick internal and external searches to find candidates via AI. Any candidates found on external jobs boards can be quickly imported and emailed within seconds. This tools takes hours out of my day. Cons There honestly isn't much not to like about this tool. It truly is a fantastic! One thing I would like to see in the future would be a way to data dump resumes for the already existing profiles. Essentially loading 20+ resumes at a time to the already existent profiles. Right now you are able upload resumes individually. Review Source Verified Reviewer Sr Sourcer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Definite value" August 22, 2019 4.0 Finding lots of candidates, the AI tool is great. Pros Finding phone #s and personal email addresses Cons The extension is not as user friendly as others like Entelo Review Source Verified Reviewer Talent Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy to use, get the information you need quickly" July 27, 2018 5.0 Pros I use it daily - it's perfect for building boolean strings and making my job just a little bit easier :) Cons The UI continuously pushed itself into my searches, even when I was already reviewing the candidate that I had found while using Hiretual. It felt like there was a glitch. Review Source R Reviewer Talent Acquisition Lead Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best Recruiting Tool " August 22, 2019 5.0 We were in a rapid growth phase in our company and Hiretual is helping us as a very user-friendly platform supporting not only to sourcing activities but also providing great market insights and engaging candidates and organize successful meetups and recruiting events in Americas region. Their customer service is great. I highly recommend this platform. Pros Hiretual is very user friendly and the team supporting is very supportive and open to improvements. Cons Unfortunately the tool is not integrated to Success Factors and managers can't pool reports about team usage in a specific time frame Review Source Verified Reviewer Principal Consultant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "super helpful to provide needed contact details to reach contacts" July 27, 2018 5.0 This tool is a must have for anyone who engages with someone out side of your personal or business network. Pros Hiretual replaces two other tools I was using and offered more features. The new V3 AI tool is my next purchase! Cons I would be optimal if Hiretual automatically updated CRM and ATS software. (there may be APIs for this) Review Source R Reviewer Recruiter Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy to use - found good candidates" December 26, 2019 5.0 We are running a trial to find a technical recruiter and using Hiretual as the primary sourcing tool. I have found many qualified candidates even though my response rate has been unexpectedly low (about 14%). At least people are responding (which indicates contact information is correct). This is a difficult recruit overall, and my timing might be wrong, which may have affected the response rate. I focused exclusively on an email campaign the week before Christmas, so I image that response rate may go up over the holidays and as I start following up with telephone calls. Pros Super easy to use, easy to search and to find candidates (don't have to rely on precise Boolean strings - Hiretual does it for you), easy to set up projects and email campaigns. I like that we can set up drip campaigns as well. AI feature seems to work well. When the email came with "recommended profiles" there were a couple of candidates that looked good. Service and support are excellent from the Hiretual team. Cons Would like to see better metrics about emails that bounced, who opened the email and who clicked on a link in the email - maybe a chart vs. a list scrolling on the side of the dashboard. Not sure how to create templates for drip campaigns - either the second email is a repeat of the first, or figuring out how to write the second email is not intuitive, as I couldn't find it. Review Source Verified Reviewer Senior Technical Recruiter Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Hiretual Is An Essential Tool for Every Recruiter" December 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Artificial Intelligence is the biggest time saver that I've ever seen. I can find candidates faster and more efficiently than I ever have before. Cons Occasionally, the LinkedIn Links are broken which is a minor inconvenience. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Technical Sourcing Recruiter Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Hiretual is amazing" January 18, 2019 5.0 My overall experience is 11/10. Hiretual is amazing and I will continue to use it every day! Pros I love everything about Hiretual. I'm finding engineers I otherwise would not and love how the UI flows. It is very intuitive and customizable. I had an issue, which led to a suggestion through their website, which led to a 30 minute phone call THE NEXT DAY where I learned more about the software and ultimately realized my issue with the product was due to my lack of understanding- what I wanted was already built in! Cons Occasionally the AI algorithm will find people with similar names and mismatch their profiles/emails (very rare occurance). Review Source Benjamin H. Founder Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Career changing " July 27, 2018 5.0 Pros I can find passive talent I can't find elsewhere, and see accurate data and insights on each of them, as well as their contact information for me to reach out. Cons To be honest, there is nothing I do not like about this software! Not only is the software amazing, but so is the Hiretual team. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Corporate Relations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "got them emails" October 12, 2018 5.0 Pros I looooved that I could click on a LinkedIn profile and get an email of a person. Cons If the person is from EU, than hiretual will not be able to get you their info Review Source R Reviewer President Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Speed and accuracy" May 29, 2019 5.0 This is our go to for sourcing. We don't subscribe to job boards or LinkedIn Pros Hiretual is the start of a something very special in sourcing. Folks with little to no experience can understand it and be proficient in a matter of a couple of months. It's data rich and provides our clients with powerful insights. Cons Nothing really negative to say. The email tool could be more powerful. Review Source Jake G. Talent Leader Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Hiretual can do what others cannot" July 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Hiretual can do what other platforms cannot: they find candidates information others cannot, and they generate leads others cannot. It is a great tool in the recruiter's arsenal! Cons I like most things about their platform/service and customer experience and can't think of anything significant I dislike.
