Considered Both Products

Chose hireEZ
I tried hireEZ because I wanted a fresh sourcing tool beyond the usual platforms. It helped me reach more passive candidates and made outreach easier to manage.
Chose hireEZ
I think hireEZ has a been integration with our ATS, crelate. I also enjoy the google chrome extension and the ease / variety of things you can do just from the extension. being able to "see into" the ATS and sync/change stages based on what I can see from the hireEZ project …
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
LinkedIn Recruiter is a game changer, however using HireEZ's chrome extension with LinkedIn Recruiter is the best of both worlds!! Those two together are my favorite way to source for candidates! I also love that I can integrate HireEZ with my ATS (Greenhouse) easily! And …
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
In the assessment of the various tools, hireEZ was more intuitive, providing more reporting metrics tools, provided detailed analysis and has the ATS integration.
Chose hireEZ
Most of us use hireEZ as a last resort. The others are faster and more accurate.
Chose hireEZ
I prefer seekout over hireEZ. Although hireEZ has a nice UI/UX available to the user I feel sometimes their data is not current and that they rely heavily on keyword searches and are not great for people who are really good with the Boolean type of searches. I recommend you try …
Chose hireEZ
They are all good in different ways. ZipRecruiter and Indeed are better at providing active candidates but Hiretual is better for uncovering candidates for upper-level positions. I slightly prefer Hiretual’s searches over Indeed because it saves my progress - candidates that I …
Chose hireEZ
Hiretual is its own entity. It's unique and similar to the other programs I have used in the pass but by far had the best number of accurate profiles. I would probably say that the original team at Hiretual really treat you like family. They host community events, provide …
Chose hireEZ
Hiretual is the quickest and best aggregator of social sites that I have worked with thus far. It is more comprehensive than LinkedIn Recruiter and has easier use than other aggregators that I have come across. It is a great net benefit for sourcing high-volume roles or unique …
Chose hireEZ
I've had the same problem with every product - all seem to cater to and be used for computer programmers and technology services. None address civil engineering and consulting firms.
Chose hireEZ
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 …
Chose hireEZ
Slightly better than Lusha. Hunter does not have the "ATS like" functionality of Hiretual and Contact Center doesn't rank high in my book.
Chose hireEZ
Hiretual and Entelo attempt to provide very similar services, but Hiretual's data is much more accurate and their platform is much easier to use.
Chose hireEZ
HIRETUAL is listed as "Recruiting Software", but really it's an email contact scrapper that is geared towards recruiters, but can also be used by other departments (Marketing, Biz Dev, etc)...

Compared to other similar products (Lusha, Nymeria, Discover.ly, Clearbit, …
Chose hireEZ
Lusha, Contact Out, Prophet. All tools and all have some cost associated with them
LinkedIn Recruiter
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter provides best features as compared to competitors. Pool of candidates is more as compared to others. Recommendation features help gauge genuine candidates.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn is one part community, and one part sourcing tool. Other tools are are more strictly a resume database of job seekers. LinkedIn Recruiter allows us to reach candidates not necessarily looking for a job which is valuable.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter provides a large pool of candidates across all these job boards and a vast number of filters that you can use to find specific talent. Features like Inmails do wonders in connecting with candidates. With the help of LinkedIn Recruiter, we are able to identify …
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
it is major used portal where we can connect with candidate directly without any personal touch. the professional skill, job role and past experience of the candidate is very genuine.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter is globally used common platform for the Job positing, searching and sourcing. It is more valuable than other tools
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
To be honest, they are both two different beasts. I think LinkedIn Recruiter is more practical. I think the UI is cleaner and everything is easier to navigate. However, ZoomInfo provides far more information about the company someone works for by giving me insight into their …
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
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 …
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter has the largest reach globally. I mean, if you're not on LinkedIn, do you even exist? ;) It is the only real game in town for one-stop-shopping for candidates. The service is premium, and so is the price. However, there is nothing that I'm aware of in the …
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
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.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
I use both LinkedIn Recruiter and SeekOut. I start my candidate search with LinkedIn Recruiter due to its ease of use, high candidate yield, and integration with Linkedin for the sake of contacting candidates.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
SeekOut's boolean filters are better but SeekOut primarily runs as a support to LinkedIn Recruiter. Meaning that even if I find someone on SeekOut I still use LinkedIn Recruiter to outreach and track that candidate.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter provides a very actualized database of candidates, always providing information about their current status on Linkedin. You can source, recruit, communicate with candidates, and document the interactions in this platform, which makes it easier.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter is better than Indeed when hiring high level professionals. It gives a lot more qualified candidates and more access to profiles. It allows you to seek out candidates, where Indeed does not unless you pay an extensive amount and even when you do, you are …
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
There was not much difference between the Indeed Hiring Platform and LinkedIn Recruiter, both of them offered more or less the similar services and feature sets. Why LinkedIn Recruiter was chosen was due to its global reach and ease of having a complete view into the candidate …
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
No comparison - it is the best when recruiting high caliber talent. There is still room for niche roles (i.e., Dice) but this tool is critical.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
It's not even close, Recruiter is the far superior product.
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter is better than Dice because it has passive and active candidates. Dice only has candidates that are posting their resumes so those candidates are being contacted by tons of recruiters at once. Dice has become worse and worse in terms of the quality of …
Chose LinkedIn Recruiter
I love the LinkedIn Inmail system because I can target candidates who would be open to a conversation. I think this is a winning feature. I love that ZoomInfo has an automation platform and provides work phone, cell phone, business email and personal email addresses for most …

hireEZ is well suited to small to midsize companies in my experience. For companies with minimal budget they will negotiate better terms for a longer contract. You also control the number of seats you pay for and the type. It is basically a la carte pricing.

I can manage candidates from the search to moving them to projects to messaging in one place, which makes it a more streamlined and efficient process. If a candidate does not respond to an outreach message from my LinkedIn Recruiter mailbox, I can then send a connection request and a message directing them, to the recruiter message.

Pros
  • 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
  • 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
Both my account representative and the founding partner have reached out to me proactively to offer assistance and my account manager has been very responsive on the rare occasions when I have required assistance. I would highly recommend Hiretual to recruiters if they are "over" LinkedIn. It is a terrific tool!

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 reliable every day with crashes or glitches. hireEZ has constantly done updates and added new features that make the experience better for the user. Also the functionalities are different and useful for what we do at our company.

Return on Investment
  • The deployment of Hiretual allowed us to reduce our spend via LinkedIn (as it sources from LinkedIn) by 6 figures. It's been a game changer.
  • Some of our projects on Hiretual have been so successful that we've been able to close out hard to fill roles much faster than the benchmark for those roles.
  • Hiretual is not just a vendor for us, it is also a key partner and trusted advisor.
Read full review
  • It's a must have for reaching passive candidates.
  • Love being able to identify candidates we may need in the future and saving them in a project.
  • It's difficult to cut through the noise using Inmails since everyone is using the tool.
