Announcing the Top Rated Recruiting Software for 2018

February 8th, 2018 6 min read

Today, we awarded the 2018 TrustRadius Top Rated badges for Recruiting Software. The TrustRadius Top Rated awards are unique in that they are an unbiased reflection of customer sentiment, based solely on user satisfaction scores. They are not influenced by analyst opinion, the vendor’s company size, popularity, site traffic, or status as a TrustRadius customer.

Recruiting Software assists hiring managers and recruiters by automating steps to identify and hire job candidates. It streamlines the processes of searching for, attracting, interviewing, and onboarding new personnel. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and Recruitment Management Systems (RMS) fall into this category. User feedback on recruiting software can help buyers evaluate flexibility, scalability, ease of integration with other talent management and HR systems, and what the candidate experience is like–important factors that determine whether a product will work well for their recruiting needs.

Here are the winners:
