Overall Satisfaction with SmartRecruiters

SmartRecruiters is used as the primary recruiting tool and communication platform for all of the positions we recruit and hire for. It allows us to store all information about potential candidates in a central location, which allows access and use of the information at any time in the future by our location or any other location in the organization. This saves time and improves accuracy of information and ultimately leads to better hiring decisions.
  • Allows for a record of communications with the candidate that can be reviewed or accessed at any time. When working with multiple candidates it is sometimes difficult to keep communications consistent over a period of time with a candidate, particularly when multiple interviewers or reviewers are involved in the process. SmartRecruiters helps us to effectively manage this process.
  • SmartRecruiters is a very effective centralized database of current candidates, as well as past candidates. This ensures that we maximize the potential candidate pool.
  • SmartRecruiters provides a central resource for job postings to multiple online sites, resulting in consistency of the job posting, time savings and ultimately increased profitability.
  • If you don't use SmartRecruiters on a regular basis it is easy to forget how to navigate through the various functions.
  • Sometimes the various filters can be tricky to use, resulting in unexpected results or no results.
Occasionally, some candidates will have difficulty uploading a resume or using the candidate functions of SmartRecuiters.
Overall, if using the program on a regular basis, it becomes easier to use. Due to the ability to centralize the candidate management process the adoption by hiring managers is made easier.
  • A significant benefit in time savings due to the ability to centralize the candidate management and communication process.
I have not used any competitive programs in the past. However, I have directly hired many people over the years and participated in hiring and interviewing for many positions using manual, and Access and Excel database candidate management processes.
It is less appropriate when the candidate is a personal/local referral where you may not need or want to go through the entire process. It is very appropriate when you are conducting a recruiting campaign and managing many candidates.
