Boon vs. Hellora

We can recommend without hesitation, this software, as it certainly fulfills its purpose of providing us with talents and trained personnel for the jobs in our company, with an innovative system that works perfectly. It is ideal for all companies that want to hire trained personnel and save time in the process.

Perfect fit for: Large organizations with over 2,000 employees and a frontline workforce (such as nursing, technicians, waiters, retail associates and drivers). Currently managing referrals on spreadsheets or not truly tapping into the power of employee referrals. As a helpful benchmark to compare to, best-in-class organizations have 40% of their hires come through referrals. Less suitable for: Smaller organizations with less than 2,000 employees, no frontline workforce, and don't face challenges in employee referral management or engagement.

• It has reward management, where we can through its tools, reward, and reward all the people who recommend us talents according to the characteristics we are looking for and that we achieve the hiring.
• We can track in real-time all the recommendations, as well as their progress, to know in detail, the candidates that are being selected and the people who will be given the incentives.
• It has integrations such as job adder, greenhouse, and Oracle service, among others, to make the entire recruitment process more efficient.

• Automatically tracks and manages referrals, eliminating the need for spreadsheets.
• Provides a simple referring experience for frontline workers because it's all done via text.
• Targeted text campaigns to keep employees engaged with the referral program.
• Very passionate leadership team that also provides strategy and creative support to their customers as part of the service.

• Some recommendations and references have been erroneously detected as fraud, discarding them from the system.
• Its interface can be very clean and navigable, but more knowledge is needed to understand all the functions that the program has.
• Their technical support is very friendly and guides very well, but for software like this, they need much more support material.

• One point I highlighted with their team was the importance of Eqo – Employee Referral Solution for the Frontline being able to function without ATS/HRIS integrations for smoother rollouts and pilot programs — and they've already successfully achieved this capability.

The user experience is seamless--text-based with no app installation necessary. Employees don't want to download another app, so the text-based approach removes that friction point. I really like the SMS campaign feature in Eqo because it facilitates program socialization and targeted hiring in understaffed areas through team-specific SMS campaigns. My customers have been very impressed with the implementation process and support. They aren't just implementing the tech but advising on strategy and adoption.
