Good basic tool

Well suited for a basic application for a medium sized business where everything is funneled through 1 or 2 users. It would be a little clunky for a very small business (less than 75 employees) as you wouldn't use it regularly enough to remember some of the operating quirks. There are very few platforms specifically for the mid sized business market and this one definitely delivers the needs of that niche.

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.

Well suited as there is no limit to logging email correspondence with candidates as the years go by. Easy pipeline as you work a candidate from application to hire stage.

Less appropriate for pulling data required for upper Management reviews.

SmartRecruiters is excellent at generating a lot of qualified applicants quickly. The SmartWidget is a quick and easy way to integrate job listings into your web presence.

The inability to skin, brand or create a sub-domain for the SaaS experience can lead to a jarring user experience, particularly for users trying to check out multiple jobs.

I think it's a really solid tool for most recruiters to utilize. It's got some effective tools and can be a time-saving and mostly cost-effective tool to deliver candidates. The best technical candidates don't tend to apply directly, but it is more effective for marketing and other roles & openings.

I think if people are looking for an all around solid platform that doesn't break the bank, SmartRecruiters is a good fit, especially if you are looking for a tool that can manage all of the basic work around finding, managing, and hiring new talent into the company. It is a fairly easy platform to learn as well.

SmartRecruiters is a great example of how to leverage technology to make a difficult process, that usually requires a lot of people, easier. I think, from my experience, that SmartRecruiters would be great for any company where they still have an emphasis on hiring good applicants, but don't have the staff or time to look at a lot of applicants. I don't how how SmartRecruiters would work for teams with a recruiter because I have not used the system in that manor.

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.
