They have mentioned unclear and redundant steps in job postings, causing confusion and inefficiency. Some users also expressed frustration with the lack of customization options for roles and security.
Limitations on Document Uploads: Several users have encountered issues when uploading documents for candidate offers due to limitations on the number, size, and type of attachments. The inability to designate requisitions as confidential has created problems and led to inaccurate data in reporting. Additionally, manually typing each email address for requisition approvers has increased the potential for errors and delays.
Inconvenience with Offer Letters: Users have found it inconvenient that there is no standard offer letter in OpenHire that can be customized without saving it as a separate entity. Furthermore, system-generated emails triggered spam filters, resulting in communication issues with candidates. Some users also experienced frustration with the inconsistent and sometimes non-existent candidate search functionality.
