Pros
Overall experience was great, i did not encounter any issues and the process was swift and easy.
The team behind HiPeople is great to work with - we received competent consultancy from their inhouse-experts and the customer service was super responsive.
I am super happy that Celonis is one of the very early adapters of this tool. HiPeople helps us to improve our hiring quality in an efficient way by automating the whole reference check process.
I've enjoyed working with the product and the team. I am excited to get our managers more engaged with the software and improving our overall hiring and onboarding performance.
Cons
I tried to cancel my membership last year and now this year and they have blocked me both times for missing the deadline. Good thing I've just canceled it 9 months early.
Doesn't provide actual value for reference checks.
I was missing some visual cue about how far I was through the reference process. It said it would take 26 - 34 mins from memory, but it was shorter.
Some questions could be interpreted in tricky way.

"HiPeople, automated reference check when focussed on hiring high quality talent"
Overall: Overall we have a great experience with HiPeople. They truly appreciate our feedback on the tool/features and are always keen on improving where ever they can. They respond quickly on our (support) questions. Collaboration with the team of HiPeople is overall very good and always respectful with a bit of personal touch in their approach which i appreciate.
Pros: HiPeople is easy to use and innovative. To tailor make the reference check so its aligned with the job requirements is easy to set up. And the Reference Check overview (outcome of the references) delivers us an additional assessment in our selection process of our applicants. The overview provided by the tool gives us insights on applicant behaviours, skills and performance and helps us to take a decision to compare this assessment report with the other steps in our selection process. Focus is on hiring qualitative talent.
Cons: The Reference check report isnt visible in our ATS Greenhouse, although via the link in Greenhouse you are immediately directed to the report of the applicant. I know HiPeople is working on this feature to improve and make the report also visible in Greenhouse.

"Review of the Year "
Overall: My overall experience with HiPeople has been positive. The platform stands out for its efficiency in automating reference checks and providing actionable insights into candidates' strengths and potential fit.
Pros: I appreciate how it empowers HR professionals with data-driven insights, enabling faster and more informed hiring decisions. The platform's emphasis on fairness and reducing bias in the recruitment process is particularly commendable, as it aligns with my values of promoting equity and inclusivity in the workplace. Additionally, its user-friendly design and integration capabilities make it a valuable tool for enhancing overall recruitment efficiency.
Cons: While HiPeople is an excellent tool, one potential area for improvement could be its flexibility in tailoring the platform to highly unique or niche hiring processes. In some cases, organizations with very specific workflows or requirements might find it challenging to fully customize the platform to their needs. Enhancing adaptability for these scenarios could make it even more inclusive and versatile.
