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.

Cons: Slow searching and sorting: Some users have found that the searching and sorting features in Hyrell sometimes run slowly, causing frustration and delays in finding the desired information. This issue has been reported by multiple reviewers.

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.

We began using Hyrell in March of 2015. Before its implementation, we were spending tons of money placing individual online and newspaper ads for each of our 6 centers. Managers were constantly interrupted with applicants turning in paper applications and asking if we were hiring. Now that we are using Hyrell, we can pre-screen applicants, initiate interviews, keep qualified applicants on file and reject those who we are not interested in. We also can share information about applicants across the company by using the "Notes" feature or sharing an entire file.
  • 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.
It is great at getting applicants to apply. The one down side is that a majority of our applicants are applying from a mobile device so they are unable to complete the entire application process. When you send them a link to complete the rest of the application from a desktop computer, many do not have access to this. Because of this, they do not answer some of the "weed out" questions that give us insight as to what type of employee they would be.

  • Costs are greatly reduced! We pay a monthly fee far less than one single ad placed on Indeed alone.
  • We are getting a great deal more applications than we did before.
  • We have the ability to control the content of the ad, how long it is posted and when we can take it down once the position is filled.
  • Zip Recruiter and ADP Recruiting Module (part of the Workforce Now payroll platform)
Hyrell was much easier to use, cheaper and the support from the team has been outstanding. When this was launched, we had each of our managers attend an online webinar. If they were unable to view this, then there have been monthly training sessions available as well as one-on-one help for the less techy folks in the company.

Hyrell is really user friendly. We have managers who range from embracing technology to those who hate it. All seem to be able to navigate the software pretty easily.
  • Recruitment of new talent
  • Hiring of employees
  • Retention of applcations
  • We added a link to our company home page for applicants.
  • Potential candidates are directed to the website to fill out an application online instead of having to come to the center to pick up a paper app. Less disruptions!
  • We would like to see a better interface between the Hyrell application and our ADP software for new hires. Right now it is too difficult to transfer information from the application to ADP to enter them into the payroll program.
Cost, results and service.

  • Product Usability
Cost and results! We got many more applicants with Hyrell than we did placing ads on Indeed by ourselves for a much cheaper price.
We placed some test ads with a couple of competitors and Hyrell delivered the best results in the shortest amount of time. Hyrell reached the applicants we were targeting the best.
  • Implemented in-house
No
I was trained on the system and then we rolled it out to our managers. The managers were able to view a webinar and get direction. If they didn't see the video, then there were multiple other opportunities to get training. The managers could call Hyrell directly to receive one-on-one training as well.
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
For those who do not like to use technology, it has taken some time to accept. I have been able to email some applications to these managers so it kind of works around this issue.
  • Getting the managers to take the time to learn the system.
  • Having the managers look online for applicants instead of waiting for them to walk in the door.
I don't think there is anything Hyrell can do to make it easier. They were very helpful and checked in on us frequently to make sure we were happy.
  • Online training
  • In-person training
Emily is great at explaining!
Very clear and easy to follow.
It is a bit limited in the views you can create but overall it is good.
There could be more standard views available. Would also like to see more fields available when creating a custom view.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
Most of this was set up initially for us and we haven't had to change it.
No - we have not done any custom code
have not done this.
nothing.
No
hasn't been necessary.
I can call Emily (yes, I know her by name!) and she gives very clear, thorough directions that are easy to follow.
No
Every time I call with a question, Emily is there to answer me! She is very patient and walks me through the process in a clear and concise manner. She always seems to know exactly what to do. There isn't a time where she fumbles or has to try something first. She knows the product inside and out which is great!
  • Looking for applicants who applied recently but have not been reviewed.
  • Acknowledging an applicant, indicating strength of the application or rejecting them.
  • Forwarding a file to someone within the company.
  • Sorting applications. Once there is a large pool, it can be hard to find the ones you are looking for.
Yes
Great but the one down side is that we get people using the "Quick Apply" feature on Indeed. This truncates the application process and the applicant does not fill out all the screening questions.
It is very easy to use and if you don't get the hang of it, there is a great support team behind it.
Some screens seem to lag, particularly when sending an email to a candidate or internal manager.
I have never had an issue.
This is probably the biggest complaint I have of the system.
  • We attempted to integrate with our payroll and criminal background check systems.
The integration was cumbersome and as a result we have not been able to use these features.
ADP is working on an interface but has not finished it yet.
  • File import/export
I think it has more to do with ADP than Hyrell. ADP is not easy to use.
Great tool for hiring but would be better if I could have all the new hire information transfer over to payroll.
They were not pushy and understood my company's needs.
They called back quite often to see if we needed help. If I had a manager with an issue, they would call them directly to assist.
Monthly billing at a lower rate (comparable to what WyckWire offered)
No

We began using the Hyrell system as a test to acquire qualified applicants for our job posting. Since the fist usage some four years ago, we have found that not only does Hyrell provide a very good source of applicants, the Hyrell system provides very good legal protection for Title Seven Law, for the using company. We currently have about 30 job postings on the Hyrell system for our five locations. Many of this job postings remain active due to the auto refresh feature of Hyrell. Since we began using the Hyrell system we have been able to allow the applicant to perform a self screening. Some applicants begin the process and self withdraw after filling out some of the application. This cuts down on the number of applicants one may need to review.
  • 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.
If one actively listens during the initial courtship with the Hyrell representatives, and one clearly states one's needs, then one should find the work performed by the Hyrell team to be similar to our experiences, that is, a seamless move to the Hyrell Online Application System and the marriage will be of benefit!

  • There are a good number of online application companies, but from our experience, few provide the level of sophistication and performance at the same or similar cost of Hyrell.
  • The recent improvements announced by Hyrell in the upgraded will improve Hyrell and the end user will benefit as a result of these improvements. Note: The improvements were seen first by the team at Hyrell and they got on it. The recent demonstration was without issue and I look forward to using it.
  • One strong benefit is for the administrator. Many of those functions have been streamlined and some have been expanded for more authorization.
As stated before in a previous question. I get a good number of competing companies calling me each month attempting to obtain our company as a partner. When I explain to the caller, that we currently use the Hyrell System, they generally say, “Well, we may be able to give you a better deal.” Then when I go into a bit more detail and explain how satisfied I am with the Hyrell System they say… “I understand,” and they hang up!
Sales, Service, Accounting, Body Shop. Parts, Detail, BDC, F&I.
In our case it is only one. Our HR Director is also our IT Director.
  • Legally worded questions.
  • Legally kept records.
  • Quick Response to any concerns.
  • Consistent Hiring Process.
  • Ease in submitting Ads to Third Parties.
  • Ease in advising potential applicant on how to apply for a job with our company.
  • Keep using Hyrell in the same or similar manner as we currently use Hyrell.
