It is used by our HR department and hiring managers of the respective team. I have been using it for the past year and it is user friend for me as we can do tasks multiple ways. I do not find any issues; however, we have to train the hiring manager to use SmartRecruiters.
  • User friendly
  • Multiple ways to complete a task
  • Easy to communicate
Cons
  • Monthly/quarterly training
  • Easy reporting tools
  • Task reminders
  • Easy to use
  • Can do tasks multiple ways
  • Easy to communicate with the candidates and other staff members within the organization

Easy to use, saves time, all in one stop!

We use SmartRecruiters as a way to digitally accept and store all resumes that come into our company. We also communicate with the applicants directly through the SmartRecruiters program. It helped us solve the amount of time we were investing in keeping up with paper files.
  • Ease of use when entering candidate's information, uploading documents, using templates for emails, etc.
  • Visually, it is easy to read through the information and navigate from one job to another.
  • Analytics are accurate and easy to find.
Cons
  • Glitches from time to time and have to refresh or re-start
  • The ability to add more templates to send out different types of correspondence through the platform
I can't think of any company that wouldn't benefit from using SmartRecruiters. However, our company is on the small side and we don't have a lot of open positions, so it is manageable.

Bigger companies may need more bells and whistles, but this has worked out great for our needs. We have 1-2 jobs open per month, so it suits our needs.

A simple, easy to use, engaging system with exceptional results!

I selected, implemented and administered SmartRecruiters in a previous role where we had 180 employees in three countries. We used the product in every division in each country. I recently implemented SmartRecruiters at my current company and I have only rolled it out to one team as it is relatively new. SmartRecruiters addresses my problem of leading a very small HR team with few resources. It offers the hiring managers an easy platform to handle their own recruitment administration and interview scheduling which eliminates some of the workload within HR and removes any bottlenecks.
  • User Interface/User Experience - I have never had a manager complain about using SmartRecruiters, and training is minimal. Compared with some other products where I would have to spend as much time training and assisting managers as I would doing the recruitment myself.
  • Referral Functionality - I recently discovered the referral functionality and I'm working on implementing this in conjunction with an employee referral bonus. The fact that you can match your connections (through LinkedIn etc.) with the role is genius; we instantly grow our candidate pool
  • Screening Questions - This is a basic function of the product, but saves me an immense amount of time. I ask simple questions like 'Is the location suitable for you' and 'What are your salary expectations'... this helps me weed out candidates quickly and easily.
Cons
  • I ran into some issues where a candidate had applied for more than one position. The terms used ('pass' for example) isn't defined enough for the hiring manager to know what it means. This resulted in one divisional leader rejecting a candidate for a completely different job that he wasn't on the hiring team for. This was a design issue and I made a recommendation for it to be addressed.
I believe that SmartRecruiters is very well suited for small to medium sized businesses. It can handle global usage but would need to add some of the local job boards (which SmartRecruiters can do for you). I haven't used this in a larger/enterprise business but assume it might be a lot of administration depending on the number of resumes received.... something to consider.

It's smart to use SmartRecruiters

This is where information is housed to review, interview, and document hiring information on applicants that have applied for positions on my campus.
  • Everything is in one place. There is no need to jump in and out of different programs.
  • The entire hiring process is documented from start to finish in SmartRecruiters.
  • SmartRecruiters keeps you informed of applicants interested in your position as well as it lets you know any activity happening via email.
Cons
  • Sometimes you can get too many emails of notifications for new applicants.
  • I wish you should save part of the interview questions, but in instead you have to complete the entire document at one time.
  • Sometimes I've noticed the applicant's resume is not attached but in the body.
The entire hiring process is in one place. Too many email notifications when someone applies to your position.

Easy ATS system

Job openings are posted to multiple sites through SR. Candidates apply through SR. Resumes are reviewed. Communication with candidates is through SR. Candidate progression in the hiring decision process is also tracked in SR.
  • Very quick and easy to post job openings in multiple locations at one time.
  • Very easy for applicants to provide neccessary information.
  • Quick and easy to access perspective candidate information.
  • Clearly see how many candidates are in what stage of the process at a glance.
Cons
  • It is not easy to find previously posted jobs by location only.
  • "Leads" don't always seem to match position requirements.
  • If there is more than one opening for a particular position, it is somewhat cumbersome to manage in SR.
I find SmartRecruiters very easy to use. Some of the more advanced features are a little cumbersome to use, but SR provides training within the system.
