HiringThing is a valuable tool for streamlining the recruiting process in companies that previously did not have an ATS. With its solid ATS capability, it allows for multiple board members to view applications and collaborate virtually. Users appreciate the ability to bring recruiters, hiring managers, and applicants into the recruitment process with HiringThing, as all communications and notes can be kept in one system. It also helps build candidate pools and hire qualified individuals, providing a streamlined recruiting process that has supported over 3,500 applicants since its creation.

One of the major problems solved by HiringThing is ease of scheduling interviews and communicating with candidates. Users can customize messages through the tool, create message templates to save in the system, and share them with other members of their organization. This feature allows users to communicate more efficiently and clearly with candidates, resulting in a better employment brand and higher quality candidate sources. The platform's resume repository is another key solution for those looking to organize candidate files effectively. Overall, HiringThing provides a fast, easy-to-use, and affordable way to post positions, sort candidates and store information with faster screening time - invaluable features for businesses who need to fill hard-to-fill positions.

Active Notes Log and Integrated Sections: Users appreciate the functionality of the active notes log and the integrated Cover Letter, Resume, and additional questions sections for each candidate. This feature has been praised by multiple reviewers as it allows employees to have everything they need in one place to review candidates before interviews and track notes and progress in the interview process.

User-Friendly with Email Notifications: Hiring Thing is considered user-friendly and easy to navigate by users. They particularly like receiving email notifications when candidates respond to their messages through the platform, which helps them stay updated and engaged in the hiring process. Several reviewers have expressed their satisfaction with this feature.

Customizable Nature: The customizable nature of Hiring Thing is highly valued by users. Multiple reviewers appreciate that they can tailor the platform to meet their specific needs. It is seen as cost-effective and intuitive for end users, with great support available via chat for any issues or questions that may arise during usage.

Cons:

  1. Limited job board options: Some users find the job posting sites to be limiting, especially when it comes to automatic posts to niche job sites. They express a desire for more job boards available for free.
  2. Outdated interface: Users mention that the interface is outdated and in need of a refresh for better user experience. They suggest a visual upgrade to make the software more modern and appealing.
  3. Integration issues with third-party services: Several users note that there are integration issues with third-party listing services, such as Indeed and Google Jobs. The platform API is not robust, leading to problems with email delivery and overall integration functionality.

Hiring Thing was used as an Applicant Tracking System as our HR team and organization were growing. We had no centralized recruitment process so it allowed recruiters and hiring managers to post their own roles and walk candidates through the application and hiring process with little handholding. It also had an option to post to job boards.
  • System navigation
  • Posting to website and job boards
  • Reviewing applicants quickly
  • The support side leaves room for improvement
  • The offer letter and onboarding documents often didn't send
  • Limited availability for posting
Hiring Thing is great for new organizations just starting out with smaller talent teams. It is very simple to use, add users, walkthrough processes, communicate with candidates, and walk through the hiring process.
It does not work as well when an organization grows, needs lots of open requisitions, and has a decentralized hiring process.
