Overall Satisfaction with Hyrell

We began using the Hyrell system as a test to acquire qualified applicants for our job posting. Since the fist usage some four years ago, we have found that not only does Hyrell provide a very good source of applicants, the Hyrell system provides very good legal protection for Title Seven Law, for the using company. We currently have about 30 job postings on the Hyrell system for our five locations. Many of this job postings remain active due to the auto refresh feature of Hyrell. Since we began using the Hyrell system we have been able to allow the applicant to perform a self screening. Some applicants begin the process and self withdraw after filling out some of the application. This cuts down on the number of applicants one may need to review.
  • Well, the first thing is the Hyrell system server has never failed us. It runs twenty (24) hours per day and seven (7) days per week without issue.
  • The library of job descriptions developed by the Hyrell staff was a seamless fit to our company. Most, if not all, were a perfect for us and have not been changed since we began.
  • We had an applicant file an EEOC charge against us. The main body of the defenses was the data provided by Hyrell. Hyrell provided all the data on the twenty-five applicants and along with our managers following our hiring process we were able to prevail in the EEOC Charge.
  • Since we began with Hyrell it has been apparent that the company has a continuos improvement mentality. They have consistently made little changes to improve the process and when they do my representative contacts me and informs me of what has changed, and how it should make my job more efficient.
  • Hyrell has been working for the past two (2) years on a Major upgrade to their system. Notice, it has been tested for a good period of time before Hyrell rolls it out. That is an example of how the company puts their customers first. Oh, they could be like many software company and not really care about the end user, but that is not the case with Hyrell.
  • If one uses the internet and the vast number of websites available, one will not find a major issue with Hyrell. It is a very user friendly package.
  • There are a good number of online application companies, but from our experience, few provide the level of sophistication and performance at the same or similar cost of Hyrell.
  • The recent improvements announced by Hyrell in the upgraded will improve Hyrell and the end user will benefit as a result of these improvements. Note: The improvements were seen first by the team at Hyrell and they got on it. The recent demonstration was without issue and I look forward to using it.
  • One strong benefit is for the administrator. Many of those functions have been streamlined and some have been expanded for more authorization.
As stated before
in a previous question. I get a good number of competing companies calling me
each month attempting to obtain our company as a partner. When I explain to the
caller, that we currently use the Hyrell System, they generally say, “Well, we
may be able to give you a better deal.” Then when I go into a bit more detail
and explain how satisfied I am with the Hyrell System they say… “I understand,”
and they hang up!
If one actively listens during the initial courtship with the Hyrell representatives, and one clearly states one's needs, then one should find the work performed by the Hyrell team to be similar to our experiences, that is, a seamless move to the Hyrell Online Application System and the marriage will be of benefit!

Evaluating Hyrell and Competitors

  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
I was looking for a way to make our hiring process more streamlined and still comply with the legal requirements of employment.
I would not change a thing!

Hyrell Implementation

Not really, they showed us what would take place. Went through a webinar. And then turned the switch on! It worked!
