Overall Satisfaction with SmartRecruiters
SmartRecruiters is our go-to hiring platform at Sculpt. We're a small shop, so lots of people have their hands in HR. I need administrative control of our software, but want others to collaborate. SR made that easy. We also needed a product that would streamline the chaotic process of recruiting, vetting and evaluating potential candidates, and nothing has come close to SmartRecruiters. We don't hire frequently, but when we do, it has to be smart.
- Creating and seamlessly syndicating job postings across the right places on the web
- Managing a database of job candidates in an easy-to-navigate interface
- Collaborating with our team throughout the entire selection process
- Communicating with candidates through the hiring process
- Sorting candidates by various attributes and ratings
- We never nail a job description the first time. A more clear and seamless edit function would ensure we can make changes on the fly without walking through the entire publishing process again
- Making blind hiring easier would be helpful
- Candidates often miss our request to upload additional documents because the only place to add it is buried in the main description
- Would be nice to upload or embed better media from more sources
- Integration with other job networks means the formatting looks a little funky when uploaded
- It's made the recruiting and hiring process more enjoyable, collaborative and efficient. That's valuable.
- Significant time savings in manually exporting lists or hopping across various platforms
- indeed and ZipRecruiter
We don't use any major ATS platforms but have found SR stacks up extremely well against individual job networks or distribution tools.
SmartRecruiters Feature Ratings
Using SmartRecruiters
2 - Our hiring committee and Operations team primarily uses Smart Recruiters. As a small company, we keep the number of people with access to our inbound candidate pool low. It's limited to the main person/people communicating with the candidates.
1 - SR is easy enough for one person to manage, and no outside technical experience is necessary.
- Providing a single point of entry to route candidates across all job recruiting networks
- A central dashboard of humans that have applied to our company and individual positions
- Evaluate and communicate with candidates in the application process
- Old job descriptions are archived and indexed in search results , so we have a reference for how we positioned our company or jobs over time. We go back to those results from time-to-time.
- For creative positions, we ask candidates to submit a link or attachment that shows (not tells) why they would be a perfect fit for our team and culture. SR makes it easy for people to attach media outside of the standard cover letter and resume.
- We do blind hiring and as a 'hacky' workaround, we'll take screenshots of their applications without their names to send to the hiring team. There's no clean way of accomplishing this as far as I know today.
- Having a select committee of people with limited access review candidates inside of the portal
