Pros

SimplyHired is structured well and it makes keeping candidates organized simple.
SimplyHired is the #1 job board right now, so by using them, we are getting the best pool of talent and candidates.

Cons

Although the sorting process is easy through SimplyHired when you check candidates to send a message, it un-checks them after the message is sent, so you have to go back through and re-check all applicants to move them. I'd like to have the candidates remain checked and highlighted after I send them a message.
It would be great to have messages sent out automatically once we move them into new categories.

Return on Investment

SimplyHired paid for itself in the first month of purchase! We received more apps that month that we did in 3 combined before use.
Our TA team has really enjoyed the simplicity in using SimplyHired.

Pros

The post-to-hire time is significantly lower, which augurs well with our organizational requirements.
It's very easy to navigate, quite user friendly screen and options makes it easier for posting and searching jobs.

Cons

For job aspirants, there is room for improvement. As in, for Job alerts, SimplyHired needs to send as close a match as possible. Currently, there are cases where non-matching jobs also appear in the Job alerts that the job aspirants receive on daily/weekly basis.
Somehow there should be provisions for flagging the scam jobs, or reporting scam jobs, so that the flagged jobs after proper evaluation can be removed from the job lists.

Return on Investment

The job post-to-hire time is quite less which helps in effective time management and filling up the position in a timely manner.
The candidate search options, almost always gives us the best fit for the open position. Thus, we do not have to spend more time filling up the position. This eventually helps in significant cost savings as one need not have to pay anything to any consultant to hire resources.
