Product Details

What is Trakstar Hire?

Trakstar Hire (formerly RecruiterBox) is a cloud-based ATS boasting a suite of features: a centralized candidate database, batch or mass communication with potential candidates via multiple channels such as email or by leveraging its integration with social networking sites (e.g. LinkedIn), instantaneous posting to multiple job boards, a customizable career page, resume parsing and bulk uploading, and customizable applications including questionnaires. Feedback sharing is facilitated by allowing recruitment team members to share info with each other on the candidate page post-interview. Database is kept clear of duplicate entries by scanning and flagging email addresses that appear in multiple entries, adding to the user-friendliness of the centralized database.

A 14-day free trial is available, and also a free version of the software which supports access for 5 users and up to 200 candidates. The modestly priced standard edition supports unlimited users along with the platform's basic functionality, and the pricier Professional edition includes EEOC compliance support, monthly data exporting, and additional report features.

Recruiterbox has proven to be a valuable tool for organizations looking to streamline their hiring process and manage a high volume of candidates. With its applicant tracking and management software, users have been able to efficiently vet and communicate with hundreds of applicants for various roles, from internship programs to full-time hires. According to users, the platform's evaluation system allows them to create customized levels of employee evaluation, ensuring that each applicant's capabilities are properly assessed and matched with suitable roles within the company. This has greatly facilitated the screening process, allowing users to quickly review resumes, request references, and schedule interviews.

Additionally, Recruiterbox keeps users informed about each applicant's progress through the recruitment process, enabling them to make accurate forecasts about their performance and identify the best prospects for their company. By managing employee pages within the platform, users have also been able to evaluate performance and identify potential replacements for underperforming staff members. This feature has been particularly valuable in optimizing the recruitment process and achieving better results for management.

One notable aspect of Recruiterbox is its ability to facilitate global hiring by enabling the hiring of roles worldwide. This has allowed companies to expand their talent pool beyond geographical boundaries. Moreover, users have found Recruiterbox helpful in publishing job postings on their website and other job boards without requiring IT involvement. The easy configuration and navigation of the platform have made it suitable for small companies that don't need advanced functionality but still want an efficient way to manage their recruitment process.

According to feedback from users, another ATS platform called Trakstar Hire has also been utilized alongside or as an alternative to Recruiterbox. This shows that different organizations may find value in different features offered by different platforms depending on their specific requirements.

Easy-to-use and customizable pipeline management: Many users have praised Recruiterbox for its excellent way of managing the pipeline of applicants in an easy-to-use and customized manner. They appreciate the ability to collect and store candidate information within the app, as well as through their work inbox.

Fully customizable job board: A significant number of reviewers liked the feature that allows them to create their own fully customized job board. This functionality enables them to have indefinite openings for different types of jobs and facilitates organizing each candidate from the beginning.

Ability to program custom workflows: Several users have highlighted the ability to program their own workflows within Recruiterbox. They find this feature useful in defining the work organization required for all recruiting processes to meet specific requirements.

Limited functionality for hiring multiple people: Some users have expressed frustration with the app's limited ability to handle the hiring of multiple people for the same role and manage large numbers of applicants, limiting their efficiency and effectiveness in the hiring process.

Lack of mobile app for real-time data entry: The absence of a mobile app for real-time data entry has been seen as a drawback by users, hindering their ability to input and access information on-the-go.

Inadequate features for following up and evaluating the hiring process: Users have found the platform lacking in features that would facilitate effective follow-up with interviewers and evaluate the quality of the hiring process, making it difficult to track progress and make improvements.

Before, it was a nightmare of spreadsheets, email templates, and needless to say, many many applicants fell through the cracks or left with a bad impression of our firm due to the poor communication. With Trakstar, we're able to easily track where every applicant is in the funnel, collect information on how they are doing, and manage the whole communication process. I love being able to work in both Gmail and in their software and I love how it tracks the conversations so that I can easily go back and review where things are with any given applicant.

That said, the product is more geared toward someone that is hiring for one person per role. We make it work, but there is a lot of functionality that doesn't get used because of that.

For a small/mid-sized business I'd absolutely recommend TrakStar. I've loved it since day one and have only seen it improve. Now if you 100% need certain types of integrations, or have a large company or an HR team over 3-4 people, this may not be robust enough for your needs. I can't speak to onboarding since it doesn't integrate with our HRIS and we don't have a specific onboarding platform. We also don't utilize some features like the EEOC survey or do many pre-employment testing or assignment scenarios.

RecruiterBox is designed for small and medium sized companies that are looking to reinvent their recruitment method, by using its candidate management, it effectively allows the attraction of suitable people for each position. In large companies it can be complicated to use, due to the fact that it is still constantly being optimized.

For large companies Recruiterbox can be a software with exceptional results, allowing the application of all kinds of functions, mostly based on the execution of steps in recruitment operations with large lists of interested parties, which makes it useful in businesses such as supermarkets or services oriented to governmental management. Since it works well with emails, Recruiterbox is good for creating job interviews that do not directly require face-to-face management, as in the case of most software development jobs that are currently held. Recruiterbox is good for working in human talent departments that do not have enough experience in handling human resources software, or that are from a new business, thanks to its simplicity of use.

For a small business needing an ATS, the price was reasonable and the product provided solid functionality. A bigger business may find that they grow out of the system or need more integrations than Recruiterbox offered.

Well suited: If you have multiple job openings at any given time, or multiple people looking at applicants, this is a helpful tool because it's very easy to switch between openings and even assign applicants to an individual.

Less appropriate: A lot of recruiting software can be expensive, and while this is slightly on the lower end, it's still an investment. If you're a really small company with few consistent job openings, you may not need something at this level.

We had some questions about some functionalities in Recruiterbox that we wanted to utilize and the customer service was phenomenal. They got back to us extremely fast and walked us through how to set everything up on our end.

It is well suited for departments that are going to have a large influx of applications. It allows you to sort through the applications and decide which ones should go on to the next level of the hiring process. It is also a great way to contact potential hires and screen them, via asking for references, etc before you decide if it is worth the time for a phone or face-to-face interview.

Recruiterbox is a REALLY great tool for small to medium sized businesses, where there is no requirement for mass mailing, and where candidates are unlikely to apply for multiple roles. It is less appropriate if you want integrated CRM, or for recruitment businesses who need to manage a large database of CVs.

Recruiterbox is a great solution for small to medium sized organizations. It's flexible, easy to set up, and affordable. Compared to other tools (which includes the recruiting platform widgets offered by the job boards themselves), it made the most sense for us.
