A fantastic ATS option for small/midsize businesses who are ready to get their recruiting act together!
Trakstar Hire is our current ATS platform. It is primarily used by me, my VP of Operations, and my hiring (department) managers. Of course, there are also interviewees who submit evaluations via the platform. Trakstar seemed the perfect ATS for us - not overly robust with features that don't work for our SMB, and not way beyond our limited budget, yet still with many customizable features in terms of the recruiting workflow, open API, and great personal support.
- Customer Support
- Customizable
- Intuitive Design
- Integrations
- Open API
- Once you activate a sponsored job post, it "appears" to stay live, even if the sponsorship ends. Makes it difficult to see what's live and to track spend.
- Doesn't link with our HRIS (Paycor)
- Wish there was a better method to create a formal application besides the questionnaire option.
The use of Recruiterbox in our company was driven by the need to create a better employee recruitment plan, where the company could invest less and get better results for management. Recruiterbox is intended for all those companies that wish to optimize their recruitment process through an automated system that organizes and analyzes the data of all candidates and proposes the best offers for the development of your company. The customer service was available every time we needed it, being very friendly and solving every inconvenience in very short periods of time.
- It is possible to determine the type of interview with potential employees (face-to-face, via telephone).
- High compatibility with other tools such as BambooHr.
- The function of creating candidates through their profile information is very useful for us.
- It allows job offers to be sent to pages such as LinkedIn or Twitter without supervision for their management. Its process flows are well defined, which facilitates the work.
- Not very ergonomic design, which is a bit annoying.
- I would like it to allow compatibility with video calling tools, allowing us to send links during the conversation.
- It is quite annoying not to have an alphabetical order in the list of possible candidates.
Recruiterbox's evaluation system basically lets us create our own levels of employee evaluation, so that during any recruitment process it is possible to make sure of all the capabilities that each applicant possesses, and it is more feasible to bring them to work in the section of the company that best suits those capabilities, and thus improve the workforce in a short time. It keeps us informed of the totality of each stage that each applicant is going through, and we can evaluate forecasts about their performance in those stages, mostly to know early on which are the best prospects to work in the company. It is possible to manage employee pages from the platform, so that, in case of staff failures, you can evaluate their performance and know which ones should be replaced by applicants who are in the interview or resume evaluation system. Fully shared compilations of each employee's employment experiences can be made, so that it serves as an informative review for new applicants, and they can feel more confident with the company, or simply know what kind of working relationship to expect.
- You can create your own fully customized job board, so that you have indefinite openings for different types of jobs, and so that all interested parties can apply to meet certain openings. This is an excellent way to organize each candidate from the beginning.
- Recruiterbox lets us program our own workflows within the platform, which are useful to better define the work organization that must be in place for all recruiting processes to meet the right requirements, and this is reflected in improved reporting.
- The platform automatically creates analyses based on the resumes of each candidate, so that, depending on each resume, they are shown offers that are fully compatible with their type of employee and their previous work operations.
- We like the customer service offered by Recruiterbox, which has been able to meet our employment needs in a short time and in a mostly accurate way. Thanks to this, we were able to solve the usage error we had with the platform and our current results are much more profitable in terms of analytics of recruitment operations.
- Recruiterbox is an exemplary service in terms of usability mechanics, with an extraordinary ease of application and a deployment that allows us to work on different platforms without any usability problems or labor errors, as with most human talent services nowadays.
- There are not enough functions at the moment to follow up the interviewers by the company, since the platform generally works with self-service and a system where they can evaluate themselves. The best for this would be that the candidate can evaluate the interviewer and the quality of the process.
- Spreadsheets are not handled well within the platform either, which is a big disadvantage for those of us who need to use a tool to filter applicant information and be able to tag them depending on our level of interest in them.
- The function that allows us to create hiring funnels does not allow us to include all the information of the applicants, so the level of detail of the reports, despite being high, is never large enough to allow us to choose the candidates from the first instance.

Recruiterbox: Intuitive and necessary for organized recruiting
Recruiterbox is currently primarily used by our Manager of Employee Engagement who handles recruiting, however employees at the Director level occasionally log in to Recruiterbox to review applicants' resumes and profiles. Recruiterbox allows us to house all applicants within one tool, helping streamline the entire recruiting process.
- Easy to use and customize: Recruiterbox takes little to no training to be able to use, and it's very easy to figure out how to add postings, add steps in the recruiting process, and process through applicants.
- Great customer service: Recruiterbox always gets back to us quickly with helpful answers that solve our issues.
- Easy to sync with our website: We worked with our developers to make sure that our application on our site would seamlessly flow into Recruiterbox.
- Filters on candidates and openings: Sometimes it can be confusing when filters are not turned on correctly (which is very easy to miss), which means that the wrong candidate or opening results will appear.
- Search: Sometimes candidates won't show up in a search (based on what page you're on), but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when they do or don't show up.
- Multiple applications (Recruiterbox calls these "copies"): While it's helpful that a little symbol will show up next to an applicant's name if they're in the system multiple times, I think there could be a better way from a UX perspective to integrate this feature, as sometimes it can be for the same position, sometimes it can be across multiple positions, and sometimes it can be over the course of a number of years.

Fantastic ATS, but more basic compared to others.
We use Recruiterbox as our primary ATS. With Recruiterbox, we are able to get the candidate pool we need to make quality hires for our company. We are also able to track important details about the hiring process as well as receive data for our business on time to hire, how many candidates hired per year, etc.
- Fantastic customer service. They're thorough and fast with their response and are always willing to go the extra mile to answer your questions.
- Frequent updates and developments with the product.
- User-friendly layout.
- Easy to learn and teach to hiring managers.
- They could make it easier to integrate with other products.
- Development of the product could be more up to date with what other ATSs offer (text recruiting, video interviews, etc.)
- More functionality in the product.
Recruiterbox is being used by our organisation as applicant tracking and management software. It manages the process of every application to one of our roles, from sending in a CV via the web portal, through the selection process all the way up to the final hiring stages. We also use it to manage any prospective candidates who we are speaking to, but who have not yet applied for the role.
- A very clean and easy to use interface - our team picked it up in no time at all and it has massively increased our productivity.
- Excellent customer support - friendly, available, and knowledgeable 24/7 support.
- Excellent ATM through the recruitment process.
- Great "prospect' management - their widget for creating candidates from their LI profile is amazing.
- Works "Out of the box" - you can create an integrated web page using their widgets which is professional looking and works wel.l
- Duplicate candidates are a problem - a new candidate record is created every time someone applies for a role - which may be 20+ in our case. This means screening notes and candidate details are in multiple places.
- Can't action more than one page of candidates at a time - so mass emailing etc is a pain.
- Search results are poorly displayed - you can't sort them or export them.
