Considered Both Products

Chose hireEZ
I think they are very similar but different in their own right. LinkedIn Recruiter is what most of grew our careers on and are familiar with. The negative with them is there really has not been many updates with them over the years and it seems their system is getting less …
Chose hireEZ
Advantage over Indeed and LinkedIn is that HireEZ aggregates this data into one place; however, contact info may not always be accurate so end up going to LinkedIn to contact these prospects.
Chose hireEZ
hireEz has a better searching function, and a better database than both Gem and TopFunnel. The one thing TopFunnel does demonstrably better than any other competitor is the campaign writing tools that allow for you to automate emails and have them come off as specific to the …
Chose hireEZ
hireEZ is a similar tool to Entelo, but it provides more integration, customer support, and forward thinking regarding what new features to add. The hireEZ platform is a good tool to include, in addition to Linkedin Recruiter, as it will provide additional candidates that meet …
Chose hireEZ
I would say hireEZ is 10 times better than having the LI Recruiter license for a fraction of the cost. It's much more efficient, it helps you manage projects, candidate communication in a much better way. I would recommend it 100%.
Chose hireEZ
hireEZ is very comparable to SeekOut, the interface has slightly more features, and the product support is more hands-on. They are both great tools. Linkedin Recruiter is overpriced, and overrated, especially if you are looking for applicants that traditionally do not have …
Chose hireEZ
Most of us use hireEZ as a last resort. The others are faster and more accurate.

LinkedIn is the #1 source of profiles. It has the most, and a lot of other sourcing sites are based around the frameworks of LinkedIn, or bring you directly to their profiles.

I speak highly of hireEZ internally. I believe their are use cases for both hireEZ and LinkedIn and whatever other sites are used in recruiting. hireEZ is well suited when you want to reach out to candidates with contact information after maybe seeing they have not responded to most LinkedIn messages. We have also had a bit of success in going back to old reqs that we can search through hireEZ in a seamless way and reach out to those candidates.

LinkedIn Recruiter is better suited in terms of the filters it provides to search for a pool of candidates. Features like past and current companies, past universities, or years of experience, AI Search, and AI message drafting do wonders in terms of recruitment. But some more filters can be added, which will help further in recruitment. For example, Boolean search in job titles, targeting specific keywords in recent experience, etc.

Pros
hireEZ
  • Talent sourcing aggregate (known by Hiretual as AI Sourcing).
  • Custom insights based on search criteria.
  • Contact information & social link retrieval.
  • Applicant Tracking System Integration -- At OnPoint we use Lever as our ATS. Hiretual allows us to export candidate data directly into our ATS and associate said candidates to a specific requisition, & in a specific stage.

  • The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
  • It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
  • The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

Cons
hireEZ
  • I have come across many duplicate profiles that could cause me to contact the same person twice in a short period.
  • Doesn’t have an “undo” button for if I accidentally mark a candidate as “not a good fit”
  • Their “variables” used in creating email templates don’t function optimally. If you use “candidate last name”, and the person has a title, it will use the title instead of name. For example… I sent an email to a doctor and it sent as “Dr. MD”. Not ideal.

  • For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
  • It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

Usability

I am a user of three years and have seen the features grow over time. I love how responsive the team is when there is an issue and their willingness to work towards a feature request is unmatched. I also find the accuracy of the data is comparable if not better than most competitors

This portals helps to source the profile directly from the LinkedIn where I don't need to check the resume and LinkedIn separately every time. LinkedIn Recruiter is the best platform for posting the job effortlessly. It requires only few details and we can get response quicker.

Support Rating
hireEZ
The support team is proactive with information, sharing changes or new features, conducting training, etc. It is not a pull scenario, as with other vendors, where I have to ask for what is going on. Instead, the hireEZ team is reaching out to us to follow up, provide information, etc. I love their proactiveness and desire for us to use the tool to its full potential!

Entelo is probably the closest competitor that stacks up against Hiretual head to head in my opinion, but the differentiator for us has been the relationship and the flexibility that the vendor provides us on top of the fact that the product itself continues to perform incredibly well as it continues to evolve along with my organization's needs. To have a seat at the table to offer up opinions or advice on how to improve the product over time is invaluable. Additionally, the AI-powered version of Hiretual is much more powerful than Entelo's product.

SeekOut has a diversity filter, which I like. They also list some candidates that are not on LinkedIn, but ultimately SeekOut routes me to LinkedIn. So technically SeekOut allows me to screen for filters that LinkedIn does not, but I actually end up using LinkedIn Recruiter to manage and communicate with the candidates.
