AccuRecruiter vs. VidCruiter

The system was flexible for candidates interested in applying to apply from any location, and then the system allowed for our department to log in from anywhere as well to track the hiring process. We have utilized AccuRecruiter for some job requisitions. While we were okay with the system as the recruiting side of the team, we had some issues with our IT systems team with integration considerations.

VidCruiter is best suited for those that want to be paperless and go the digital route. VidCruiter gives the option to record the live interviews so they remain on the platform if we ever need to go back to review. In my opinion there is not a scenario where this is not appropriate, because if you don't see a function of interest, VidCruiter will consider creating it or figure a way to make it happen for you

• The applicant tracking process helps our teams keep organized especially given there are different stakeholders reviewing and making comments/decisions.
• Providing an option to test or screen applicants helps make our job easier because then we don't need to sift through and spend time on applications that would be evidently screened out.
• The video-based recruitment process helped our department save time because of the flexibility provided, especially during the remote times of the pandemic.

• VidCruiter is my first Applicant Tracking System but it was still relatively easy to set up exactly to our needs and there was lots of support over email and the phone / internet meetings during the setup and after. It is easy to use and update too, no coding ability needed.
• The integrated video and live interviews are unique to VidCruiter and why we chose it over competing products. They are easy to setup and use and provide the HR staff with a much more personal feeling for who the applicants are.
• The auto rating of the applicants and their references along with the easy rating of applicant video interviews and any other data entered sorts applicants after what abilities are important to your company and makes it easy to start with the most suited candidates and work your way down.

• When we were working with our IT systems team to use AccuRecruiter, there were some hurdles that would need to be assessed such as if/how it can integrate better with our organization's current system.
• There was a lack of ability to do reliable background screening of the candidates.
• Reporting options can always be improved for example providing more charts and tables that are more ready to click and view.

Incentivized

• Humanizing the experience for applicants
• Give more information about how the video will be used
• Clarity on deadlines for performance task
• The error message is vague ("Either you have withdrawn from this process or the deadline to complete this process has been reached") which one? You should know!

This is our first season of using VidCruiter or any ATS. We are very happy with the time saved and level of organization and clarity that using VidCruiter has provided. We have a ton of ideas for improvements for the next season, and the flexibility of the system, the easy setup and maintenance and the very responsive support from VidCruiter makes this easy.

The system is easy and has built in explainers

We selected VidCruiter over Spark Hire mostly because of the ability to edit rubrics. In a world where equity is at the top, we must be able to rate candidates in a non-biased way and being able to edit the rubrics allows us to do so. We also through customer service was top notch at VidCruiter and decided to keep using it (we considered switching to Spark Hire at one point)

Incentivized

• The prescreening ability gave our department the flexibility to add questions to help identify the candidates that would be more suitable to review.
• Provided a platform for our department's personnel in charge of recruiting for some roles over the pandemic to do this without requiring face-to-face interaction on site.
• Helped with efficiency (saved time) with the recruitment process compared to that of our prior systems which were more email-based and could get disorganized.

Incentivized

• It could be a great ROI for those who are able to manage daily
• When not in use, overall contract terms still apply.
• Does need a good amount of time invested in using.
