(1-25 of 64)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
SmartRecruiters is an incredible tool to keep all parts of the recruitment process in a single place. From posting jobs, managing candidates, keeping track of their status in the process, adding comments and important information about them in an organized way, collaborating with the hiring team, etc.
- Sending interview and self-schedule interview invitations directly from the platform and integrated to Outlook.
- All sorts of possibilities to ask questions or add important information about the candidate (screening questions, forms, specific and customized fields such as notice period, salary range or expectations, etc.)
- The recruiter interface is really good, with lots of details to allow the team to be more organized and efficient
- Too many filters that are not the most important ones. Sometimes it's hard to find what we are looking for
- I'd like the possibility to customize the fields and filters more (especially on the candidates tab)
- Because SmartRecruiters is SO complete, it can be complex to do some setups or to use all its functionalities sometimes

Recruitment coordinators review
My team and I use SmartRecruiters to post jobs, communicate with potential candidates, schedule interviews, send offer letters, hire candidates in conjunction with Workday. Using SmartRecruiters allows us to track all actions related to the hiring process.
- Logs all activity on candidates and roles
- Offers support and advice on new products
- User-friendly
- Sometimes changes are made and they don't need to be made. Example: the scheduling page layout

SmartRecruiters...really is the Smart choice!
We use SmartRecruiters to manage our end-to-end Recruitment process which is now consistent and efficient. It enables a great and engaging candidate experience, simplified self-service, and collaborative hiring manager experience. With great insight through reliable data, it enables us to make informed business decisions and drive our recruitment strategy forward and fulfill our hiring requirements.

- Is almost 100% adjustable to your specifc need
- Help recruiting manager to keep track of what's going on with their vacancy
- The websites are not as adjustable as the rest of the application
- Smartrecruiters don't ask for money for an API integration to work, but some partners do.

Very happy with my SmartRecruiters experience!
SmartRecruiters is used by our stores and support services. It allows: the complete dematerialization of the recruitment process (everything is centralized in the same tool, and for people who are not in the recruitment business, SmartRecruiters makes it possible to guide and facilitate the process and collaborative work), saving time (thanks to job templates, email templates, integration with Microsoft Office 365, job boards...), optimizing our processes, and centralizing and securing data.
- Job advertising
- Candidate experience
- User assistance (best HelpVenter and support team ever!)
- Integration via API of Pole Emploi
- Sharing reports with groups (not individual users)
- Be able to give read access to settings sections for custom system roles

Candidate selection process streamlined
I use SmartRecruiters when recruiting for new team members. It's a great tool for tracking the entire progress and analysing new candidates. I have used many different functions including the referral process and found it to be smooth and useful. There's a really handy link section including CVs of candidates interviewed, and useful places to keep and share notes between HR and hiring managers.
- Provide multiple functions
- Good CV linking
- Referral system
- Difficult journey back to my open roles
- Always pushed to a homepage of all vacancies in company vs individual dashboard

Reliable Applicant Tracking System
Score 5 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We use SmartRecruiters as our main Applicant Tracking System. We post all of our jobs through SmartRecruiters, Track Candidates through the entire process from identification to onboarding, schedule the interviews in the system and use it for candidate reach out. It is our primary platform for recruiting and talent management. It is super helpful because we can create templates for common messages like interview scheduling and even integrate SmartRecruiters with our Outlook Calendars so easier scheduling with multiple people and even invite candidates to do self scheduling. This platform is a one stop shop for everything recruiting related that we need.
- Job Advertising
- Candidate Tracking
- Candidate Communication
- Background Checks
- Interview Scheduling
- Onboarding
- Feedback tracking
- Resume viewing- does not always show
- Note Tracking
- Candidate Searching
- Candidate's Applicant fields do not follow the candidate when they are moved from job to job

Smart ATS
We use SmartRecruiters as a full applicant tracking system, integrated with PhenomPeople on our front-end careers page. We use it to obtain job hire approvals and post job ads to our careers page and other integrated job boards such as TradeMe, LinkedIn and Seek. We also track external and internal applications, process applications through the hiring process (reviewing screening questions and CVs, phone screening, interviewing, submitting applicant comments and ratings, declining applications, and submitting job offers). Our SmartRecruiters is also integrated with DocuSign, allowing us to generate offer details inside SmartRecruiters, which can then flow through to DocuSign to generate contract paperwork. We utilise back-end reporting as well to track our hire and turnover statistics.
- Offer template customisations
- Being able to set up multiple different approval chains for jobs and offers
- Applicant tracking
- Settings page can be difficult to navigate & find what you're looking for
- Job approval chains would be better with additional qualifying fields so that we can segregate different areas of the business better
- The ability to edit an existing offer template in-system would improve the experience, rather than having to edit offline and upload a whole new version.
February 09, 2023
Love it
We utilize it heavily for full cycle recruiting. we also integrate assessments as well as references
- Outlook integration
- user functionality
- Autosaves summaries when you dont click submit
- I would like to see the reporting change a bit so that a recruiter's name stays with candidate's offer so we can track what recruiter hired who. (when you change the recruiter on the REQ it names that recruiter for all the hires and offers)
- Stronger LinkedIn integration
- I would like to see an option for noting a role can be remote but either in a single state or certain states

Amazing end to end recruitment tool
Broadly, we use SmartRecruiters for Talent Acquisition and referral purposes. Looking at it from a perspective of a complete journey, starting from job posting to onboarding of the candidate after hiring, it is a complete recruitment application. We 1. Posting jobs 2. Attracting candidates 3. Managing and scheduling interviews 4. Feedback for candidates 5. Automation 6. Sending alerts 7. Referrals, etc.
- Sourcing candidates
- Tracking progress
- Scheduling interviews
- Integration with Oracle HRM
- UI for filtering could be more intuitive
- Sort by feature could have more enhanced options

SmartRecruiters--a great applicant tracking software!
SmartRecruiters helps us with applicant tracking. We can see the progress of prospective hires in the organization and check their progress through the recruitment process. We can also share our comments and upload and download the applicant's documents all in one place.
- Applicant tracking--we can add applicants to the database and add them to available jobs.
- We can add documents and comments to an applicant's profile and view them as and when required.
- This offers great mobility and we can do this as a team to choose our team members.
- SmartRecruiter's integration with other platforms is quite a hassle--it needs to be smoother.
- The job posting on the platform doesn't yield great results.

Great Job Posting and Application Tool
SmartRecruiters is currently used as a job posting, job application, and job hiring status tool, among other uses. It makes [it] easy for employees to search and review our company's job postings, easy to apply online, and to track the status of [an] application if [the] applicant is moved forward [or if the] application [is] denied and ended. It's also a great way to refer others to jobs within our organization.
- Job Referrals - can easily refer others to a job posting and view the status
- Job Postings - can easily search for job openings and read job description and criteria
- Application online - Can easily apply for the job directly and see who the hiring manager and hiring recruiter is
- Log in - sometimes difficult to log in if [the] password was forgotten
- Email Notifications - would be great to add email notifications for every status change after applying for the job, currently would need to log in to see updates

SmartReview of SmartRecruiters
We use SmartRecruiters company-wide. It is used by our recruitment team and hiring managers. We recently transitioned from another ATS with the hopes of better streamlining our hiring process. This includes posting jobs, booking interviews, candidate communication, etc.
- Easy to navigate, clean interface.
- Good communication with recruitment and hiring managers.
- Candidate rating system.
- Easy to book interviews with candidates and hiring managers
- Connection to Microsoft Teams
- Adding a functionality where it is possible to parse a resume via Outlook.
- When a candidate applies to more than one role and is hired to one role the rest of the applications should be eliminated so he/she doesn't remain available.
- Address input in the profile section.
- Sending job postings to other social media/job aggregators for free.

SmartRecruiters is an ATS Worth Investigating
We use SmartRecruiters company wide for internal and external hires. It allows all communication and documentation to be tracked in a single place, which makes reporting and processing simpler. Having a single platform with workflows and templates also assures consistency and quality control, not to mention enforcement of legal and compliance matters.
- Organization - SmartRecruiters is not so busy that I cannot easily tell what I am looking at. Everything is easy to navigate and follow intuitively.
- Workflow - SmartRecruiters allows me to set up logical connections to automate subsequent fields in job creation. This aids in accuracy of job creation to match our payroll system, plus makes the process of creating a new requisition/ad faster.
- Approvals - Approvals of job requisitions and offers could not be simpler.
- Customization - There is very little that cannot be customized and/or branded to fit my organization's needs, including connecting to my other business platforms.
- Reporting - There are several fields that are not easily reported on in SmartRecruiters. They have made some significant improvements, but there are still inaccessible fields in the reporting tool that would help me avoid using another service to build my reports.
- Posting Partners - SmartRecruiters has made recent changes in their contracts with high visibility platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed which may not fit with what I am trying to do or what I have done in the past.
- Offer Templates - Creating a good looking offer template that goes to the recipient exactly the way it looks when I built it is nearly impossible. The import mechanism only accepts .doc (but really wants a .doc created in LibreOffice if you want spacing and paragraphing to work perfectly). In short, there is a lot of guessing to getting offer letters just right, unless you want a plain text offer letter (and who does?).

Good for companies without recruiters
We use it as our single recruiting system globally.
- It has a simple learning curve for hiring managers.
- It sets a very low barrier for candidates to apply.
- SmartRecruiters is very modern and continues to evolve.
- Its reporting is good, but there is room for improvement.
- Their training on new features could be better.

Nice, intuitive and modern-looking tool that can feel slow at times
SmartRecruiters is used organization-wide for recruitment for a wide range of types of contracts. It is used by recruiters in the HR department, but also by the recruiting managers in the corresponding business unit. It is a central place where everyone can share and access information about job candidates within the organization.
- It has a nice modern design.
- Most of the application is rather user-friendly.
- It provides links to both documentation as well as communication with the candidate.
- Speed. The cloud solution has a tendency to be solved.
- Exporting of data. In some cases, it would be nice to consult data offline, which currently is not possible to do.
- Random sorting of data. Different people that connect have the candidates sorted in different orders.
SmartRecruiters is our primary talent acquisition (TA) platform used by HR and all the hiring managers across sales and services within the company. It allows for a transparent and organized recruitment feed between TA and the hiring managers. It stores all candidate information and notes from those involved in the screening and interview process.
- It provides better viability and stronger collaboration efforts between TA and hiring managers.
- One-stop tool for all things recruiting.
- Keeps historical data.
- There are a couple of different ways you can view candidate profiles, and depending on the route you chose to access, certain info varies. Would be nice to simplify this.
- Intelligence to make recommendations on other company positions per candidate submittal.

Great tool!
It is a tool used for both the internal and external hiring of the company.
- Handles end-to-end hiring process. You do not need to use another tool.
- Easy to access and manage.
- For internal hiring purposes, I would love to see the feature in which there is a notification email sent to the immediate manager of the employee once the employee submitted his application.

- Nothing that I remember now.

Smarter review for SmartRecruiters
We are currently using smart recruiters for the whole Organization. We have a huge level of transparency in hiring employees to track the status of hiring, and we have a high level of visibility for open vacancies and referrals, and to track these referrals. We also have instant notifications for writing reviews on interview candidates and getting notified for the scheduled interviews.
- Alerting system before an interview.
- We can clear the tracking status of the recruitment status.
- We can see the comments by previous interviewers specific to a candidate.
- UI & UX features could be improved, because it always feels good to have a symbolic representation of icons and buttons at relevant positions.
- There could be an option to reach out to the candidate so that we can directly have discussions from the same portal apart from switching.
- If the portal can also have a good mechanism for filtering candidates, that would make for a real value add.
August 22, 2019
Good tool
SmartRecruiter is being used here to track all candidate submissions until hire.
- Great visibility.
- Ease of use.
- Real-time updates.
- I can't think of suggestions for improvement. It's great overall.

A straightforward and user-friendly hiring management tool
SmartRecruiters is used as the primary tool for managing recruitment, including screening candidates and following up on the hiring process.
- Clear and easy to navigate interface.
- Advanced search function.
- Tracking communications between HR, hiring managers, and candidates.
- Management of attachments, especially in cases where an applicant has applied previously to other positions within the company.
- General bugs in terms of performance (slow loading time, broken links, error messages).
