Overall Satisfaction with OpenHire

We use OpenHire to post National Office employment positions which include internships, part time and full time positions. We are able to include hiring managers into making decisions through the system and can easily contact and document correspondence with applicants. We previously did not have a good way to track applicants and everything was attached to our emails which could cause difficulty when training interns who had to use employee accounts/email addresses.

Pros

  • Tracks Applicant positions that they applied for and any updates
  • Allows Hiring Managers the ability to view selective applicants and make comments or approve/decline interviews
  • Allows HR to create reports and track how long jobs are open, where applicants come from and any other pertinent information

Cons

  • The browser compatibility issues are frustrating especially since applicant support has stopped
  • Applicants have issues when applying for more than one job but the system thinks they are applying for the same job
  • Applicants accidentally withdraw very easily thinking they can update their resume this way, I think there should be an additional pop up confirming that they want to withdraw their application
  • Employee Efficiency
  • No double work
  • Allows us to see how many positions one person has applied for
100 million times better, RecruitNext had a lot of technical issues
OpenHire is working well and we aren't thinking of changing anytime soon.
It is difficult for higher level positions that we include a third party search firm that assists with interviews because we have to save and send each applicant individually.
