### "ExactHire ATS"

December 12, 2024

5.0

Pros

Very robust and easy to use applicant tracking system. Support is always helpful and answers any questions I have quickly.

Cons

None at this time. I have been using them for months and I feel like I have everything I need.

Reason for choosing ExactHire

Pricing and I liked the people I talked to. I was not passed around to random people. This was important since they get to know me and my needs and I do not have to re explain everything all the time.

### "LOVE using this software! "

October 11, 2022

5.0

LOVE IT! I used ExactHire at my previous employer. When I switched companies and found the HR Team didn't have and ATS, I got approval and contacted the ExactHire team right away for a quote and implemented the new platform. What a time saver and easy to use, thank you ExactHire Team!

Pros

I have to pick one?! I guess it would be the fact that it is so easy to use it truly makes my HR job posting/tracking loads easier than trying to manage them all separately.

Cons

1) No word count in the job description area. It would be helpful if the job description area would A) tell us the word/space count and B) tell us what the limitations are for each job board ad. (Not sure if this is possible, but would be helpful!) 2) When you create a Job Board ad, it would be helpful if when we searched we could tell which ones were free and which ones are paid. It takes some time to sift through all of them to find out information.

Reason for choosing ExactHire

I used it at my previous company and loved it.

### "Overpromise and Underdeliver"

December 4, 2024

1.0

Although the people with whom I had interaction from Exacthire were friendly, the overall service was lackluster. We did not receive many candidates. Of the candidates we did receive, none met our basic requirements. The sales pitch led us to believe that Exacthire would find us a candidate within the contract period. We paid upfront based on that sales pitch. We were misled almost to the point that this feels like we were swindled. With other recruiters, we do not pay until we hire a candidate. We also have a guarantee that the candidate will last for 90 days. We agreed to pay Exacthire upfront and waive the 90-day requirement. We will never recommend Exacthire based on this experience.

Pros

The sales pitch is great. You'll work with friendly and organized staff.

Cons

They did not have a good pool of candidates. During our contract period only 3 people were sent to us for review. None of the people sent met our basic requirements.

### "HR Specialist "

October 11, 2022

5.0

They are amazing at working with us, listening to our ideas for updates and new functions. They really are the best!

Pros

It's ability to text applicants and that it's mobile friendly for users and admin!

Cons

I wish it could somehow integrate with our Payroll software, however, TBH I don't know how much helpful information we would even be able to transfer if we could.

Reason for choosing ExactHire

We chose to stay with ExactHire because they made us feel like we were a priority to them!

### "It's A No Brainer - Choose ExactHire"

January 17, 2020

5.0

5 Stars! From the C-Level staff and all the way down, the culture of ExactHire places customers first. My company's success and hiring needs are their top priority. The marvelous ATS they provide is proof of that. Plus, their personable environment has made working with them a pleasant experience!

Pros

From our side of things, the functionality is phenomenal! Because of how intuitive the system is the ease of use is extremely high. This system allows you to quickly identified qualified candidates and keeps the hiring process very organized. The experience from creating an open position to onboarding is seamless and painless. I can message candidates and collaborate with the hiring team without leaving the ExactHire system. I don't waste precious time because I'm able to do everything I need during the hiring process from a unified platform. From the applicants perspective it is also an excellent experience! I've received feedback from candidates stating how applying to other jobs was clunky and off-putting, but ours (ExactHire) wasn't. This gives me peace of mind knowing that the ExactHire's software isn't turning away candidates and I'm getting maximum participation from qualified applicants. Lastly, the staff at ExactHire is unbeatable! From the customer service team, to technical staff, to management, we've always experienced exceptional support and care. Business always involves people; so, you might as well enjoy the people you have to work with. These guys rock!

Cons

I'd have to think really hard on this because the ExactHire system does what we need and more. It performs very-well, is affordable, and applicants like using it. ExactHire is a very transparent company and provides a list of upcoming features. So, as our company grows, I know the ExactHire platform will keep up with us.

### "ExactHire is a great option for Multi-Unit Users"

September 21, 2020

4.0

Exceptional

Pros

We have had a very positive partnership with ExactHire. From the onset it was evident they are a customer driven provider and we continue to be impressed with how receptive they are to ideas/suggestions and how quickly they respond with sound changes and upgrades. They are a top notch provider!

Cons

Nothing immediately comes to mind. ExactHire has meet, and in most instances, exceeded our expectations. If they extend their services to other areas we would like to see them become involved in social media as a recruitment platform that is tied to our open positions posted on ExactHire.

Reason for choosing ExactHire

We felt like ExactHire was excited to have us as a client to partner with a multi-unit/multi-state employer and were receptive to customizing their product to our needs - which they did very successfully.

### "Exacthire Review"

October 13, 2020

4.0

The Exacthire team is always responsive and we work together as a team to get the most value out of the product.

Pros

I love that we were able to customize many of the features to suit our business needs. The Exacthire Team always listens to our questions, concerns and comments. Their follow-up is impressive and are always asking us to be part of the process.

Cons

There is little I dislike about the software. There are glitches from time to time but they are quickly resolved.

### "What's NOT to Love!?"

October 11, 2022

5.0

Time saver! Documentation is less time consuming! Overall it has been a great experience.

Pros

Using ExactHire has eased the time consuming process of updating an applicant tracker that was created in Google sheets. The ease of communications with applicants, and internally with managers is a time saver as it is one stop shopping when it comes to documentation. Internally we can see notes created during the screening and interview process, as well as communications with the applicant.

Cons

I've not discovered anything I don't like about the software yet.

We are so happy to hear you're enjoying the system! We agree that it helps save time and is much more secure than a spreadsheet, so it's good to hear that has become a reality for you too. We hope we can continue to meet those expectations. Thank you for the feedback!

### "1 Year of ExactHire"

October 17, 2022

5.0

Overall, it has been great. It was easy to roll out when switching platforms, the ease of use is phenomenal, and the mobile friendly piece is a plus. Most ATS systems I have used do not the have the mobile capability.

Pros

I love the ease of use for hiring managers and the mobile friendly capabilities.

Cons

When an applicant is disqualified, I wish that it would trigger and automated "no thank you" email. For me, once a hiring manager disqualifies a candidate the applicant disappears and becomes out of sight, out of mind.

### "Like it so far"

October 20, 2022

4.0

using EH is a vast improvement from our previous manual practice. still learning how to best utilize all the features.

Pros

ease of use for applicants. connecting job boards

Cons

some of the navigation is not intuitive.would like an easy way to print job posting.customizing applications is not intuitive...having to create job questions separately.

Reason for choosing ExactHire

contract terms met our standards (breezy had some language that our legal team did not like); price was better

Thank you for reviewing our system. If we haven't already, we will make sure that your request to print job postings is added to our development request list. We have started and are continuing to update some of the items that are not as intuitive as our users would like, and we've done that because of feedback like this. Thank you for caring enough to share and stick with us.

### "Exact Hire is OK"

October 11, 2022

3.0

It was good in terms of customer support but lacking in terms of practical use in this hiring environment.

Pros

The software is for the most part easy to use and the customer support is good.

Cons

Unfortunately, in this job environment, and in our field, no one want to go the extra step needed to use the features you provide. They would rather just submit a resume and be done. In that context, your software has not been useful to us and was quite expensive.

Reason for choosing ExactHire

I'm sorry that our system did not provide in a way you had hoped. It is hard to usher applicants into a way of doing something that may seem foreign or unnatural to them - like electronically submitting an application, when walking into a place and handing a paper resume or having a conversation will work just fine. Thank you for allowing our team to help navigate this territory with you and for acknowledging that our service has been good.

### "ATS ExactHire Review"

October 17, 2022

I love it and would recommend it to any business.

Pros

It's very intuitive and easy to learn. It's also very customizable.

Cons

I wish it connected directly with LinkedIn.

Bullhorn was not intuitive, hard to use, clunky, and didn't make any sense.

Thank you for the review. We also appreciate your patience with the request to better connect LinkedIn. We are continuously trying to improve, including items that require 3rd party agreement, like LinkedIn. Recently we were approved to begin production on an enhanced connection, which will hopefully satisfy your wish.

### "ExactHire"

February 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

Good app for HR management, I appreciated the document module which made the paper work easier in the onboarding process and all the documents were in one place. The customization of roles and workflow was very nicely done, the controls are intuitive, user friendly, notifications and various triggers are good and can be modified as needed. I liked the reporting in the form of tables, dashboards and graphs.

Cons

I was happy with the app as it is, it could be linked to Linked-in to provide more functionality or to other systems such as Pay roll. This strikes me as room for improvement, otherwise I have nothing to complain about.
