SmartRecruiters is the best ATS I have used in almost 15 years of recruiting. It's simple to use, has all the functionality you need and hiring managers also use the system very well. I've implemented it twice now and have found the process straightforward compared to other systems. I'd recommend for any organisation needing a solid recruitment platform - works very well globally too.

SmartRecruiters is very useful for putting an ad online. Multicasting is also well done because it allows you to send an ad to several different job boards in one click. On the other hand, the egonomics needs to be reviewed, the different tabs are poorly placed, just like the visualization of the CV.

I think SmartRecruiters is well suited for smaller companies with low budget to get started with the recruitment processes. I think once the company is more established, there are other better solutions like Greenhouse or Lever which are more user friendly, have a vast suite of solutions for more reporting or convenience tools

Excellent for both a small startup like us, or for a large enterprise with 10,000+ employees like the places where I've led TA Tech decision making processes before. Can handle very well both large volume recruiting as well as highly specialised and crafty positions. Its configurability and UI/UX ensure customisation to a level rarely seen.

SmartRecruiters is less appropriate when recruiting for a role that can be based in multiple locations (not a remote role, but candidates from different parts of the world are accepted). To save time, we should be able just to duplicate the job and only change the location, but instead we need to rewrite everything. This is one example of an inconvenience.

SmartRecruiters is a great tool. We could schedule up to 100 interviews per week spread across out global offices. We are able to do this fast and efficiently with the help of SR. We are easily able to directly email and coordinate both to internal teams and with external candidates. We are also able to track all activity when it comes to scheduling, reviews and job postings.

SmartRecruiters has allowed us to enable our hiring managers to self-service their requirements for recruitment, simplifying our internal processes. We have visibility of recruitment requirements and significantly improved our approvals process using the software. We have been able to configure our hiring processes relevant to different areas of the business. Collaboration for our hiring teams (managers and business partners) is simple and effective. Candidate experience is enhanced and engaging. The platform has brought many benefits to our Resourcing business partners and hiring managers. We have visibility and insightful data which has integrity, allowing us to make informed business decisions. Our offer process has seen significant improvements and provides an engaging candidate experience, previously this was a labour-intensive process that is now streamlined and automated. The recently launched Community for collaboration amongst customers is very helpful and insigtful for how other people are using the software and exploring ideas with each other.

I really appreciate working everyday with Smartrecruiters in all the recrutment process - from created a job to hiring a candidate.

As I now working through all countries of Europe to put Smartrecruiters within our colleagues I can see that when we have to use the platform in all countries the using and setting can be complicated.

SmartRecruiters is well suited for companies who have both HR teams / Talent Aquisition teams / Hiring managers working across multiple roles together. It allows you to share back and forth notes internally, as well as rating. You can get a good overview from either view, and also add permissions for people helping the hiring process but not necessarily needing all information (i.e. salary etc.). It offers a handy way to download CVs and compare candidates.

It is a very user friendly interface that can list all of our open jobs (or filter down to just the ones I want to see) and I am able to find candidates quickly based on where they are in process. The forms are easy to fill out and it is very collaborative to tag people for updates. The interview scheduling capability is easy and shows me my team's calendars (based on their outlook calendar) so I can push out invites with all necessary information. Some of the downside are when reviewing a candidate the resume does not always display properly, however I can download a copy. It also could use a better search function for the candidate database to identify proper talent. Also, when we move candidates between jobs, not all of their information flows through requiring additional manual intervention.

Well suited overall for job creations and postings, applicant tracking, and offer creations. Useful for dealing with small and bulk applications, and when you need to post the same types of roles multiple times/regularly. It is more useful when integrated with other systems, e.g. a front-end careers site and a document signing system, to maximise the end-to-end usage.

I highly recommend SmartRecruiters for all organizations to make job searches and applications smoother and easier. This application is currently well suited for this. I find it easy to search and review the job posting, job description, and criteria. It even shows the direct hiring manager and hiring recruiter. This allows me to send a separate email to either one if I had questions that were not answered directly on the posting.

It is being well suited to my organization where previously I was facing major issues regarding data centralization, reports of individuals, recruitment issues. Now with SmartRecruiters, all my problems got vanish away. Also, another thing that got solved is that resumes are saved as a backup in case needed. We can also update candidates about their job status through this portal as previously it was very hectic to tell candidates manually. Now in just one click, it will be updated to candidates.

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.

I think any business can benefit from SmartRecruiters, but especially businesses of 300 or more employees. Smaller independent businesses might find SmartRecruiters a little too feature rich, especially if there is only one recruiter or only one or two hiring locations. I believe SmartRecruiters works very well for enterprise level companies with 5000+ employees. This is a good system and it does what it is supposed to do. Reliability is high. Service and response is reasonably fast.

Great for all teams, large and small, to stay organized while conducting a search for an ideal candidate. Makes it easy for remote teams to come together and discuss their impressions of a candidate even if interviews are conducted remotely. Easy to compare multiple candidates for the same job from a birds-eye view.
