Simple hiring with SmartRecruiters
- Easy to set up templates for later use.
- Can pick which websites you want job positions posted to.
- Only have to pay one time instead of multiple websites.
- I use this site regularly and it is easy to navigate.
April 16, 2021
SmartRecruiters is excellent for small companies!
- SmartRecruiters makes it very easy to post and update our job openings to multiple sites all at once: Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Career Builder, Glassdoor, Monster, and various others.
- I appreciate how useful the free version of SmartRecruiters is; it helps me source candidates with a limited budget.
- I like being able to message groups of candidates all at once.
- Searching for candidates who have applied is very simple and easy to do.
- I'm not able to set up templates with the free version.
- The resumes that candidates create through the SmartRecruiter system are too basic. If they upload their own; it's much better.

Good for companies without recruiters
- It has a simple learning curve for hiring managers.
- It sets a very low barrier for candidates to apply.
- SmartRecruiters is very modern and continues to evolve.
- Its reporting is good, but there is room for improvement.
- Their training on new features could be better.
November 01, 2019
Nice, intuitive and modern-looking tool that can feel slow at times
- It has a nice modern design.
- Most of the application is rather user-friendly.
- It provides links to both documentation as well as communication with the candidate.
- Speed. The cloud solution has a tendency to be solved.
- Exporting of data. In some cases, it would be nice to consult data offline, which currently is not possible to do.
- Random sorting of data. Different people that connect have the candidates sorted in different orders.

It's smart to use SmartRecruiters
- Everything is in one place. There is no need to jump in and out of different programs.
- The entire hiring process is documented from start to finish in SmartRecruiters.
- SmartRecruiters keeps you informed of applicants interested in your position as well as it lets you know any activity happening via email.
- Sometimes you can get too many emails of notifications for new applicants.
- I wish you should save part of the interview questions, but in instead you have to complete the entire document at one time.
- Sometimes I've noticed the applicant's resume is not attached but in the body.
- It provides better viability and stronger collaboration efforts between TA and hiring managers.
- One-stop tool for all things recruiting.
- Keeps historical data.
- There are a couple of different ways you can view candidate profiles, and depending on the route you chose to access, certain info varies. Would be nice to simplify this.
- Intelligence to make recommendations on other company positions per candidate submittal.
August 28, 2019
Easy to use, saves time, all in one stop!
- Ease of use when entering candidate's information, uploading documents, using templates for emails, etc.
- Visually, it is easy to read through the information and navigate from one job to another.
- Analytics are accurate and easy to find.
- Glitches from time to time and have to refresh or re-start
- The ability to add more templates to send out different types of correspondence through the platform
August 27, 2019
Great tool!
- Handles end-to-end hiring process. You do not need to use another tool.
- Easy to access and manage.
- For internal hiring purposes, I would love to see the feature in which there is a notification email sent to the immediate manager of the employee once the employee submitted his application.
August 24, 2019
The only option we would consider.
- The user-facing interface is intuitive and extraordinarily navigable.
- It has a robust scope of partnerships with other platforms like Indeed and LinkedIn, which broadens the pool of candidates to whom we have access.
- Front-end customization of response templates and dispositions.
- Batch processing of candidates would be nice. When we have over 1,000 candidates to review-- a quarter of which we can summarily dismiss due the candidates' physical location being dozens, if not hundreds of miles from our nearest territory (residing within the territory is the expectation)-- it would be beneficial and a more efficient process to have the ability to check a box next to each candidate and click on "Reject," rather than rejecting every one of them individually.

- Integration with other networks like Linkedin.
- Preparation of communication and interviews.
- Nothing that I remember now.

Smarter review for SmartRecruiters
- Alerting system before an interview.
- We can clear the tracking status of the recruitment status.
- We can see the comments by previous interviewers specific to a candidate.
- UI & UX features could be improved, because it always feels good to have a symbolic representation of icons and buttons at relevant positions.
- There could be an option to reach out to the candidate so that we can directly have discussions from the same portal apart from switching.
- If the portal can also have a good mechanism for filtering candidates, that would make for a real value add.

SmartRecruiters Review
- SmartRecruiters does particularly well. It's easy to use.
- SmartRecruiters does particularly well by connecting to other recruitment websites, such as Indeed, etc.
- SmartRecruiters does particularly well in connecting to your own social media, such as facebook and twitter, etc.
- It could allow for more jobs posts. Without an upgrade, currently, you can post up to 10.
- It could allow similar jobs posts. If you have a nurse needed in many areas, you have to recreate the ad and find new ways to describe a nurse opening. It's very time-consuming.
June 12, 2019
SmartRecruiters is a smart choice for recruiters.
- Aggregate jobs
- Increase number of postings
- Save time
- Have subscriptions so easy to enter credit card info
- Link to Glassdoor
- Link to website
June 12, 2019
Great tool to help organization in scaling up
- Candidate information management, i.e. managing duplications, historical reviews, contact management
- Identifying leads, processing, and also analytics to better understand the overall talent
- External candidate filtering and pipeline talent management
- The UIs are too much and tend to be very confusing
- SmartRecruiters doesn't manage the governance too well, I often get confused about what role am I looking at
- Doesn't have a great reviewer tracking methodology, i.e. reminders

SmartRecruiters - The Heavy-lifting Recruiting, Candidate Tracking and Hiring Process Software
- Buttoned-up tried and true recruiting processes - just works!
- Collaborative and comprehensive recruiting and hiring systems
- Flexible enough to customize easily!
- SmartRecruiters could easily use some lower tier pricing packages - particularly for super small companies with smaller budgets who may be unable to keep up one year agreements. Option to downgrade during time of need, or during lull in hiring, should be easy - would help retain SmartRecruiters clients while clients maintain full access to their recruiting software systems.
- SmartRecruiters staff could be more helpful when the business has a need to downgrade levels (from $300/mo) to save in monthly expenditures, in order to keep clients. Or, at least offer an option to downgrade for little/no fee simply to have the business data retention factor - enabling for easy, quick upgrades for full access at later date (as in, seasonal businesses who hire once or twice per year).

Improvement in efficiency
- I love the integration with Google calendar because everyone who is involved in the interview gets an invitation and it shows up on your calendar.
- The use of auto-fill templates helps significantly and speeds up the time it takes to send an email to interested candidates.
- The offer approval process is easy to edit and helps keep everyone on the same page.
- Reporting features are very limited on SmartRecruiters. You're not able to run reports on what your team did throughout the week. Being able to track key performance indicators is very limited.
- There's missing pieces on the app side of things. For instance, on the app you get a notification of if there's an offer you need to approve. On the website, you do not get a notification (only email notification). As a result of this, offer approvals get lost in emails.
- I'd like to see more integration with text messaging. SmartRecruiters had mentioned they were in the works of creating text message notifications to confirm interviews and things like that. I haven't heard much more about it for the past 2-3 months, but this is something I'm very interested in.
