ATS - craving for the simple, yet functional

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
  • AOL's ATS for all applicants
  • It is used globally
  • Every recruiter and hiring manager in every site across our global network
Pros
  • It has good mobile functionality
  • You don't need a resume to apply; you can apply using a Linkedin profile
  • You can schedule interviews and track this via the tool
Cons
  • Limited data reporting capability
  • Lack on willingness to create better functionality through bespoke requests
  • Very poor search functionality
  • Does not have the ability to talent pool/pipeline candidates effectively
  • Cannot link to all job boards and therefore skews 'source of hire' reporting functionalilty
  • Centralised help desk is very 'tech heavy' and forgets that we are customers and need to use our language and not theirs
  • Candidate name search is not intuitive
Likelihood to Recommend
SmartRecruiters is great for bulk recruitment activities. Tt's easy to sort large volumes of candidates and send bulk messages to groups, eased by the fact that you can segment them easily by the stage they are in the process. The fall down is the more strategic side - being able to effectively pipeline candidates; effectively search candidate names and then place into talent pools.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We're using it as our job ad management system and ATS.
Pros
  • The UI is pretty user friendly.
  • Job postings are easy to put up.
  • Communication with hiring managers is simple and easy.
Cons
  • Resumes don't always upload.
  • I can't customize questions for candidates to answer for each job.
  • I can't schedule rejection letters to go out to candidates.
  • I'd like to be able to give the hiring managers the options to decide which email alerts they want to get from SmartRecruiters.
  • I can't filter the list of open jobs on the mobile app so that I can only see the openings I'm attached to.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's fine as an ATS, but there are several features that could be implemented. Communications don't always go through (both with candidates and co-workers), which makes my job harder. It manages job postings well. I'd like to be able to use Boolean searches to find candidates that are already in our database.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SmartRecruiters is being used to find Waterpark Staff. It was a program that was in place upon my arrival. SmartRecruiters is a useful tool in connecting me to applicants that I might not otherwise locate and have the chance to interview.
Pros
  • Connects me to applicants that I might not connect.
  • SmartRecruiters is another tool to use in my recruitment of new staff.
  • Smartrecruiters allows me to prescreen applicants without going through the interview process. I receive an email anytime there is a potential candidate to review.
  • SmartRecruiters allows me a place to keep job descriptions posted indefinitely.
Cons
  • Have SmartRecruiters screen applicants. For examples: try to gauge the level of interest an applicant has in finding a job...casual, semi-serious, serious; are they looking for full-time, part-time, on call; what hour are they looking for days, mids, nights, weekends.
  • A link indicator of the applicant posting a resume. Some of the applicants are in their profile, some are attached, and it is not always easy to determine which is which.
  • Have the applicant select an expiration date on their interest. For example, I was on vacation shortly before a recruit posted an interest. By time I got back to her, she was no longer interested. However, I spent 3 days trying to pursue her before discovering her lack of interest.
Likelihood to Recommend
SmartRecruiters allows me to access applicants in areas that I would not normally think to search. It gives me an additional tool to recruit potential staff besides professional networking, word of mouth, and recruitment of friends of current staff. It also allows me the opportunity to keep an ongoing hiring process by keeping my job descriptions out on the web.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SmartRecruiters has changed the entire recruiting process for us and has helped us become more efficient as a team. We are able to do so much more with less time and this allows us to be strategic as we go through the recruiting process. We have also had a better success rate in filling roles with less downtime as well as view metrics to see what is working and what isn't in our search and make adjustments.
Pros
  • Recruiting Metrics. I love the dashboard for each role and easily being able to see important recruiting data at the click of a mouse. This is helpful as we look for trends in our process as well as when we show hiring managers and senior leaders the type of candidates we have in our pipeline.
  • Team Plan. On the team plan, you are able to make comments to other members of your team about a candidate as well as send hiring managers messages regarding where we are in the process of filling an open position. This communication is huge and helps everyone involved feel at ease and part of the process.
  • The app! Being able to review new candidates and move them along in the process all from my phone or tablet has changed the way I work! I am able to look at resumes in real time and schedule out next steps quickly with ease.
Cons
  • I do not have any suggestions for improvements at this time! I have really enjoyed learning SR and have been impressed with how easy they make it to use.
Likelihood to Recommend
I believe that SmartRecruiters is well-suited no matter the size of the company. We have around 200 employees company wide and it has been extremely helpful in making our process more automated as well as keeping those involved in a particular hiring up to speed. I wish we would have had this when we were smaller and would image that we will use this as we continue to see growth.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
All of our franchisees use SmartRecruiters to recruit and hire service advisers and technicians. It allows us to create customized ads, find qualified candidates and manage the process of recruiting and hiring them very easily. It also allows us to track if someone is a candidate for multiple jobs or locations and navigate that potential issue.
Pros
  • SmartRecruiters has great search functionality and filters that really allow you to zero in on the best candidate for you.
  • SmartRecruiters' process or workflow of navigating and communicating with a candidate is well lined out and easy to follow.
  • SmartRecruiters allows you to work with so many different platforms and companies to find the best candidates.
Cons
  • I think the step between creating the ad and placing the ad could be more clearly presented. Many people think the work stops with creating the ad.
  • I think there can be more help or explaining labels on the Analytics tab.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think SmartRecruiters is a great tool for franchise based businesses. It allows franchise owners to recruit and search for multiple roles (both blue collar and white collar). It also allows great searching within specific markets and allows the owners to see if a candidate is involved in someone else' recruiting process.
