We use SmartRecruiters for recruiting, screening, and all other aspects of hiring for every position in our small business. It provides a unified location for online applications, cover letters, competency assessments, candidate ratings, offer letters, etc. It prevents allowing applicants to fall through the cracks and assists us with rating and tracking qualified candidates.
  • Keeps all candidates information in one location.
  • Provides an easy response process to applicants.
  • Provides a professional looking online application process.
Cons
  • Sometimes navigation of the home screen to find applicants isn't as clear as it could be.
This is the first online service that I've used for this and it has been an excellent service. It also allows other franchises to see candidates that I've reviewed and vice versa.

Excellent ATS for the bottom line and candidate experience

It's being used across the company to track employees and for adding comments to the candidate's profile.
  • Has a lot of filters to get exactly the job or candidate you want to view.
  • iIt's very user friendly to post jobs and update a candidate's status.
  • I like the reporting tool, it shows where we are coming short in the recruiting process.
Cons
  • Glitches from time to time.
  • The smartrecruiters app could be better with more functionality.
SmartRecruiters is well suited for recruiters and hiring managers to make sound decisions on candidates.

SmartRecruiters is worth a look!

I used SmartRecruiters (SR) in my previous company, as part of the HR team. We did have some hiring managers using it, as well, though we did not give all managers access, based on their capabilities. It was a great tool for aggregating jobs out and it was easy to use!
  • Awesome aggregation! I think SmartRecruiters does the best job of covering the most job boards, whether free or paid. We tried other options and definitely got the most response from candidates through using SR.
  • The capability to talk to candidates through SmartRecruiters and to send calendar invitations internally to managers and externally to candidates was great! Not always an option with each ATS.
  • Very customizable! Great options to change hiring process accordingly, add tons of templates, and even some customization through the capabilities of the program based on your budget. There's even a free version!
Cons
  • SmartRecruiters doesn't speak to every payroll/HRIS system, so it's hard to make it a seamless affair when hiring candidates.
Especially for the small company I was with, it is/was a great tool at a reasonable cost! As a company grows, it might be more beneficial to find an ATS that works better with their HRIS system.

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
Cons
  • 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.
It has the potential to be a good ATS but it needs some tweaking in order to handle large volume recruitment and make the process much smoother instead of adding more steps.
What works well with smartrecruiters is that they are always listening to their clients' needs and updating their app to suit our needs.

SmartRecruiters is used to manage the application process for new potential hires in all departments. It is organized into different pipelines and assigned to that designated hiring manager to manage the pipeline and contact the candidates that apply for that position. We use it for hiring new employees across the entire organization.
  • Organize candidates into different pipelines.
  • Makes contacting candidates easy.
  • Keeps track of every point of contact made to the candidate.
Cons
  • Occasionally certain links take a long time to load or send a message multiple times.
  • Offering more options for feedback selections about candidates.
