    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.

    SmartRecruiters has allowed us to enable our hiring managers to self-service their requirements for recruitment, simplifying our internal processes. We have visibility of recruitment requirements and significantly improved our approvals process using the software. We have been able to configure our hiring processes relevant to different areas of the business. Collaboration for our hiring teams (managers and business partners) is simple and effective. Candidate experience is enhanced and engaging. The platform has brought many benefits to our Resourcing business partners and hiring managers. We have visibility and insightful data which has integrity, allowing us to make informed business decisions. Our offer process has seen significant improvements and provides an engaging candidate experience, previously this was a labour-intensive process that is now streamlined and automated. The recently launched Community for collaboration amongst customers is very helpful and insigtful for how other people are using the software and exploring ideas with each other

    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.

    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.

    • Settings page can be difficult to navigate & find what you're looking for
    • Job approval chains would be better with additional qualifying fields so that we can segregate different areas of the business better
    • The ability to edit an existing offer template in-system would improve the experience, rather than having to edit offline and upload a whole new version.

    I thoroughly enjoy using SmartRecruiters and have shared this feedback with those responsible, however I am not a decision maker in the process. I understand that at the moment there are lots of factors affecting the economy and business outcomes, so I cannot comment with certainty on the renewal of SmartRecruiters at this time, not involved in the confirmation of renewal.

    Usability
    hireEZ
    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

    I would give this rating as overall it a great combo of all your problems. With just one click you can get away with all your problems such as recruitment, candidate update, Interview scheduling, updating candidates, reports of a job perspective, and recruiters perspective. Usability is worth of SmartRecruiters. The dashboard is also very attractive and once you open you will love working on this platform again and again. I would say it is the best platform to use once for smooth work in your organization.

    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!

    Response is normally very fast. There are times, however, when the response is not useful. It is difficult to work with the reporting and the offer letter templates, and the front line support agents usually are not very knowledgeable. Second, if there are any issues with integrations, the regular support agents will not be able to help you. You'll have to create that ticket and ask them to escalate it to an integration specialist.

    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.

    I've really enjoyed using SmartRecruiters, but these other ATSs that we've checked out offer better reporting features and price points. Over time, we may be transitioning off of SmartRecruiters to one of these ATSs because the price is a set price where SmartRecruiters has employee-based pricing model. Also, these other software products offer better reporting features that would eliminate some of our manual tracking process that we're currently doing.

    • In terms of ROI, SR helped our business greatly in returning precious time to my productivity in business management, as well as my team's, so that we could get back to the main work we were hired for. The SR process did most of the heavy lifting.
