SmartRecruiters is great for tracking large groups of candidates. I also like that it allows feedback to given between the hiring team. It would be great if it had the option to send the feedback to a third party without adding them to the hiring team. Such as a screenshot option that can be attached to an email showing notes and the hiring process.

I love that it is a one stop shop for placing ads on job posting sites like Indeed and LinkedIn. That makes posting and managing the sources for our applicants very easy. Also, I like that I get an email with a notification of a new applicant to our job postings.

SmartRecruiters is well suited for a basic ATS where you don't have a lot of complex functionality. If your organization does not track analytics or recruiting metrics closely then this could work well for you. It seems to be working on making a comprehensive CRM tool. However it is in process now and it will take a few years for it to be where it's useful in that area. If you don't mind a 'work in progress' then it could work well for you.

It is less appropriate when the candidate is a personal/local referral where you may not need or want to go through the entire process. It is very appropriate when you are conducting a recruiting campaign and managing many candidates.

ATS - craving for the simple, yet functional

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.

All the constant notifications every time someone applies for a job is totally useless in a corporate HR environment. It's actually a distracting detriment. On the other hand, for a recruiting agency dealing in contractors, it could be useful, since time is of the essence in that environment. It might not be a bad idea to have 2 versions, one for corporate clients like Ancestry.com without the all constant notifications every time someone applies through the website; and another version designed for recruiting agencies that need the notifications when they get a new applicant.

SmartRecruiters is best suited for an entity that may have multiple job openings and a large number of applicants to manage. Our organization typically has nearly 100 opening posted around the country at any given time. Another great feature for larger companies is the retention of all applicants and their contact information. So, industries with higher turnover have a digital rolodex of previous applicants that they can easily access and search in one place. Our organization has a database of close to 20,000 applicants. That would be nearly impossible to manage via the old "we'll keep your resume on file" system of the Dark Ages. Overall I'd say the larger the organization, the more value SmartRecruiters provides.

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.

Any company that recruits, hires or post jobs (so ideally EVERY company out there) needs an applicant tracking system. SmartRecruiters is scalable and can be used from a startup to an enterprise and I think they are well suited to replace all the old ATS out there. And it's a platform so being able to add on new features is easy and we look forward to releases every time they come out (used to be monthly, now quarterly).

It is a great tool to aggregate to multiple channels with one posting. I have used it across various job types, some yielding better results. However, with the ease of the tool, I recommend posting all jobs. You never know who may apply.

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.
