Use Cases and Deployment Scope

hireEZ is a potent sourcing tool. I have worked with many different sourcing tools in my career thus far and hireEZ accomplishes the same things as the competition with varying degrees of success. Finding Candidates from more than just LinkedIn: hireEz is great for this Building out sourcing campaigns: hireEz does well here but isn't a leader User Experience and User Interface: middle of the road, but they are working on this. Customer Support: I always receive timely response from the customer success team and they are also experts in the field. hireEz does particularly well in Technology in my experience. Anecdotally from colleagues it doesn't do as well in Go to Market or G+A. There are some unique functionalities within the sourcing campaigns that I haven't seen elsewhere like providing the option for a poll.

Pros and Cons

Sourcing Candidates from other places than LinkedIn
Sourcing Campaign writing is better than most
Making you think outside the box in your search

Candidate contact details are often wrong
Opting to include work contact details instead of having to remove it would make more sense
The UI still needs work to drive efficiency in reviewing profiles

Most Important Features

Sourcing
Campaign Writing
New Candidates

Return on Investment

hireEz brought in unique talent
Unique talent delivers on unique solutions
hireEz wasn't totally adopted by the team so ROI is not totally concrete

Alternatives Considered

Gem, Clara and from TopFunnel

hireEz has a better searching function, and a better database than both Gem and TopFunnel. The one thing TopFunnel does demonstrably better than any other competitor is the campaign writing tools that allow for you to automate emails and have them come off as specific to the candidate.

Likelihood to Recommend

hireEZ does a great job of sourcing candidates in technology areas. It requires you to think outside the box of how you create a search but does so in a way that makes the creativity a bit easier. It's clear this product was made by a TA industry professional, and while it still has some warts it has incredible potential.

hireEz: tries to make it EZ to source candidates and mostly succeeds
