So far our hiring managers have been happy with the system. They navigate through it quite easily. They're able to tag the recruiter and write messages in the notes section. After an interview, they go in an write a review based on the interview and give us actions on how to move forward.

The tool is very easy to use for recruiting managers, even though some of the navigation between candidates is a little slow. Most people can use it with no or little training. What is missing is a possibility for recruiting managers to export a report of their candidates to Excel (together with hyperlinks to SmartRecruiters) in order to do some offline ranking or notes.

It is very easy to use. I was new to this tool and it was easy to pick up and use from the get-go. Candidates were archived and new candidates easy to view in one place. The interface is clean and pretty self-explanatory and your notifications are received when there's any movement on candidates through the processing cycle.

As an interviewer point of view, there is no need to carry candidate profiles in hand, and also no need to memorize any of the job notification, as it is also available and handy. There is also no need to have any kind of discussion between interviewers, as the clearcut rating and feedback is available.

The only issues with usability I've encountered are error messages (mostly concerning candidate applications which inexplicably disappear). It seems like this happens more often than with other consumer applications I use. Otherwise, the overall usability is satisfactory in the sense that it is easy to navigate across jobs, candidates and quickly communicate with recruitment partners to screen candidates and move them to the next step of any hiring process.

The interface is extremely easy to use. The system is very simple but sometimes it is not consistent and causes confusion between departments when we are working on bringing on a candidate. It is not perfect but based on the systems we have working with in the past, I find SR one of the better interfaces.

Extremely intuitive! I had zero training and was able to easily review the candidate's resumes and additional correspondence easily. The review process is great with scaling and the ability to leave notes. I also like the option of seeing the other hiring team members comments on the candidates as well. Once an offer is made I am able to track the process all the way through acceptance of the offer right in the system, along with email alerts at each milestone.

You're able to set up several hiring managers within the program and have a place for writing and submitting reviews of candidates. It can be a little bit confusing with all of the different levels you can set people up as in SmartRecruiters, but overall, SmartRecruiters has a great notification system for hiring managers and it's pretty easy to figure out how to navigate.
