Product Details

What is KeldairHR?

KeldairHR (formerly Hyrell) is a cloud-based ATS developed by the company of the same name headquartered in Pennsylvania. This product offers the full suite of features typical of applicant tracking systems: batch or mass communication with potential candidates via multiple channels such as email or by leveraging its integration with social networking sites (e.g. LinkedIn) and commonly used applications (e.g. Outlook, Google Drive), instantaneous posting to multiple job boards and mobile access for job seekers (via Indeed), employee screening and testing via its partnership with Criteria Corporation's CriteriaHireSelect, resume parsing, data and document uploading, and a rich selection of analytic tools (e.g. an EEO feature for self-auditing) which may be trained on various elements in the hiring flow –job, candidate, or user– to generate insights. Five pricing plans present five tiers of service: Solo (starting at $200), Small Business, Medium Business, Large Business, and the highly Customizable Enterprise plan. These primarily differ according to how many jobs may be posted. Transitioning and implementation is supported via live 24/7 direct, U.S. based customer support and online training modules and tutorials. A free trial and a live demonstration are both available to familiarize potential buyers with the platform.

Hyrell has revolutionized the hiring process for many organizations. Through its comprehensive features and user-friendly interface, it offers a range of benefits that have been commended by users. One of the key use cases is the ability to pre-screen applicants, conduct interviews, and maintain a database of qualified candidates. According to users, this has significantly improved the efficiency of their recruitment efforts.

The customizable job postings feature, coupled with the instant ad functionality, allows users to create attractive and compelling job advertisements that can be easily distributed across multiple job sites. This has not only saved time but has also helped attract a larger pool of potential candidates.

Furthermore, Hyrell enables companies to provide detailed information about their organization and requirements, aiding in self-elimination of unqualified candidates. This has proven to be an effective way to filter out applicants who do not meet the necessary qualifications.

Another notable use case is the integration with HireSelect, which allows users to invite candidates to complete skills tests and personality profiles. This integration has been praised as it streamlines the assessment process and provides valuable insights into an applicant's capabilities.

Hyrell is highly regarded for its impact on reducing administrative time and improving communication with applicants. By transitioning from paper applications to an online system, users have experienced a significant reduction in paperwork and manual data entry. The centralized nature of Hyrell's platform has also facilitated collaboration between departments within organizations.

Moreover, Hyrell's background screening feature, powered by a partner vendor, has been well-received by users. It ensures legal compliance with Title Seven Law while providing peace of mind during the hiring process.

Overall, Hyrell has been successful in solving various challenges faced by recruiters and hiring managers. Its ability to attract better-qualified applicants, streamline the application review process, and centralize recruitment efforts has resulted in improved hiring efficiency and reduced costs for many organizations. Additionally, its user-friendly interface and excellent customer service have garnered positive feedback from users, ensuring a smooth and satisfactory experience.

Reliable Server: Users have consistently praised the reliability of Hyrell's server, noting that it operates smoothly and without any issues 24/7. Many reviewers have found this aspect of the system to be highly reliable and dependable.

Seamless Job Descriptions: The extensive library of job descriptions offered by Hyrell seamlessly aligns with users' companies, providing a perfect match for their hiring needs. This feature has been widely appreciated by users who find it convenient and time-saving.

Effective Defense Against EEOC Charge: Hyrell's system proved invaluable in successfully defending against an EEOC charge. By providing comprehensive data and necessary information, the platform demonstrated its effectiveness in assisting users during legal challenges.

Lag when sending emails or posting notes: Several reviewers have experienced lag when trying to send emails or post notes within an applicant file, which can be time-consuming and disrupt workflow. Users have mentioned this as a common problem.

Limitations on mobile application: A number of users have faced limitations when applying from a mobile phone, as it prevents them from completing the entire application process. This limitation has been pointed out by several reviewers who find it inconvenient for applicants on-the-go who rely on their mobile devices.

  • User friendly.
  • Job postings reach internet job boards at no additional costs.
  • Quick responses to issues/questions/concerns from end-users.
  • Pre-built reports.
  • Candidate profiles and ability for candidates to sign up for job alerts.
  • No longer a "stream" on the main dashboard to provide an overview of everything occurring in all jobs. Now, we are required to go into each individual job for that stream. This is a change from the old system.

  • Email communication: Hyrell makes it easy to effectively communicate with candidates, either one at a time or in bulk. Hyrell uses a concept of a general hiring manager to prevent your personal email box from being flooded. It does a good job of keeping the communications within the tool.
  • Interview scheduling: The ability to setup a calendar and have candidates pick their available times for an interview is a remarkable time saving feature. Since two candidates cannot pick the same slot, it avoids those embarrassing calls to ask to reschedule due to meeting conflicts.
  • Job board: The Hyrell job board was easy to setup and brand with a similar corporate identity.
  • Account management: Very professional customer onboarding approach. The initial training is strong as well as the ongoing learning opportunities. There is regular contact to ensure that you are getting the most out of the hiring platform.
  • The only real challenge was the sales process. It was very bumpy and made it difficult to initially select the product. Once we finally got our questions answered, the client did a trial. That went very well, so the bumpy sales process was forgiven. Although the pre-sales experience was not completely positive, the post-sales experience has been very strong.
  • The scheduling interview features has native support for in-person interviews and phone - different build-in templates. A nice feature to include would be to have a template for video, e.g. post a link to a video meeting room. Integration with the leading video/meeting solutions would be handy so you don't have to create the meeting link outside of the tool. It would be handy as we do a lot of video meetings (offer phone if the candidate cannot do video for some reason).
  • A bit of a nit, but one area lets you create stored custom views of candidate lists. This is great to see exactly what you want to see. The only problem that is once you create a custom view, you cannot delete it. You can rename it and even change what it does, but not delete it. Seems silly to be able to create a view, but not delete it. Very minor, but that could be improved.

  • Very accessible customer support - if I need help getting the posting the way I want it, they are there.
  • Regularly scheduled training seminars - if you want to learn more about the program and its features, sign up.
  • Responsive technical support - when I find glitches, they will work on it until they resolve it.
  • I find it difficult to scroll from one candidate to another in the order that I like.
  • I have found that the program works better with some web browsers than others.

  • Posting jobs quickly across multiple job boards
  • Gathering applications and allowing me to sort them based on multiple factors (job, location, stage of the process etc.)
  • The searching and sorting features sometimes run slowly. Sending an email or posting a note within an applicant file seems to lag a bit.
  • Applying from a mobile phone limits the user from completing the entire application.
  • It is hard to determine when someone has applied to a job posting at multiple locations. When you click on "see the other applications", it only shows a date, not the job or location applied to.

  • Automatic position posting has increased our exposure drastically as an employer. We have increased our applicant flow by over 100%.
  • Hyrell's applicant communication features have allowed us to stay engaged with candidates during every step of the hiring process. It makes for a very professional first impression.
  • I love that Hyrell is user-friendly. The system is incredibly easy to use. We have a high number of users throughout nine locations with varying skill levels utilizing technical applications. All of our users seemed to catch on very quickly.
  • I would like to be able to transfer applicants from one location to another, or from one job to another.
  • Making reference email addresses required.

  • Excellent response to suggestions for improvements and tweaks; great customer service team.

  • Customization of applications which allows for faster review time of applicants.
  • Very user friendly along with great customer service that is willing to help with any issues.
  • Hyrell is always evolving. They continue to add new features and listen to their customers about what they would like to see added to the software.
  • Our open positions get more exposure on the internet which has nearly doubled our applicant pool.
  • The reports feature comes in handy and makes it easier to gather information about applicants.
  • Hyrell continues to improve all the time.

  • Well, the first thing is the Hyrell system server has never failed us. It runs twenty (24) hours per day and seven (7) days per week without issue.
  • The library of job descriptions developed by the Hyrell staff was a seamless fit to our company. Most, if not all, were a perfect for us and have not been changed since we began.
  • We had an applicant file an EEOC charge against us. The main body of the defenses was the data provided by Hyrell. Hyrell provided all the data on the twenty-five applicants and along with our managers following our hiring process we were able to prevail in the EEOC Charge.
  • Since we began with Hyrell it has been apparent that the company has a continuos improvement mentality. They have consistently made little changes to improve the process and when they do my representative contacts me and informs me of what has changed, and how it should make my job more efficient.
  • Hyrell has been working for the past two (2) years on a Major upgrade to their system. Notice, it has been tested for a good period of time before Hyrell rolls it out. That is an example of how the company puts their customers first. Oh, they could be like many software company and not really care about the end user, but that is not the case with Hyrell.
  • If one uses the internet and the vast number of websites available, one will not find a major issue with Hyrell. It is a very user friendly package.

  • Highly customize-able - our business is very unique and Hyrell allows us to customize all aspects of the applicant process easily and effectively.
  • Support - Hyrell provides quick, easy-to-understand, and personalized support for all of the managers we have currently using the system.
  • Easy to use - a lot of our managers do not have any experience with ATS systems and are not particularly tech-savvy, however they all say the system has improved their hiring efforts.
  • The main issue I have with the system is that in order for a template update to take effect, it has to be re-posted (at least that's the process as I understand it.) For example, I have updated one of our existing job templates to include a new hard skill question. The template is posted in over 50 locations and in order for this update to go into effect, I have to manually re-post these positions which can be very time consuming. If there was a way to automatically update a posting with template changes it would be a huge help to our business.

  • Hyrell helps eliminate unqualified candidates.
  • Hyrell assists us in getting applicants that truly meet the qualifications for the position.
  • Hyrell helps us with our applicant tracking.
  • Additional training for the administrator of the site would be helpful. Sometimes it is difficult to find what I need to do.
  • Assigning users to the jobs could be a little easier.
  • More jobs in the library would be helpful.
  • Maybe some help screens to explain what the different areas are and what the functions mean.

  • User Friendly: Hyrell is extremely easy to use! The system is simple to navigate through and there are many added tools and functions to help measure results.
  • Outstanding Support: The Hyrell team is always available to assist, from initial training and throughout the vendor-customer relationship. They are fast and professional and a pleasure to work with!
  • Results Driven: Hyrell not only makes it easy for the company using the system, but also easy for the applicant. We see outstanding results with regards to quantity AND quality of applicants!
  • Value: Many recruiting tools available are pricey for what you get. Hyrell has proven over and over to be a great value for a reasonable cost, and they deliver results!
  • More Pricing Options for Usage: the pricing structure is good, but adding some additional pricing levels would be great.
  • Unlimited Free Technical Support: The support is fantastic, but there is a charge once you exceed a certain number of hours per your contract.
  • Accessibility through Mobile Devices: It would be great to have an app to better access Hyrell on the go.

  • The program is very user friendly and easy to navigate. A brief tutorial was all we needed to get started using the service right away.
  • The virtual interviews and scoring process allows me to easily work through applications in order to find the strongest candidate for the position.
  • The customer service with Hyrell is excellent. The few times I've had to contact them for questions regarding available options, the associates were very knowledgeable and helpful.
  • The only struggle we came across was payment processing once. Correct information was given but the associate could not seem to make the payment go through.
