Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SmartRecruiters across the whole organisation. It allows hiring managers to directly view applicants, as well as gives us the option to view candidates and other information on mobile devices. As an internal recruitment team that is spread across the country, we can easily share candidate information.

Pros and Cons

Very easy to share information with hiring managers
Can be used to simplify the whole recruitment process by tracking every step of the way
Easily posts job adverts to multiple sites

I find it confusing if I want to make changes to a job advert and then having to repost
We currently do not have integration with SEEK so there is a team doing manual changes behind the scene which leads to mistakes

Candidate Experience

I believe it makes the application process easier for candidates by allowing them to apply via a number of job sites. It is much easier to just apply via LinkedIn instead of having to attach a cover letter and cv. We can email the candidates directly from SmartRecruiters and they can email us.

Usability for Hiring Managers

It is very easy for hiring managers to use - I like that they can access information on the go via mobile devices as they are often very busy and are able to multitask. There still needs to be further work done on making the initial log on and set up easier but I believe that is being worked on.

Return on Investment

More efficient in screening roles
Quicker time to post adverts
Easier for the hiring team to work collaboratively

Alternatives Considered

Taleo

Very different systems, Smart Recruiters is much more collaborative. I found reposting adverts was easier on Taleo and we are still waiting on a number of issues to be ironed out, such as the integration with SEEK and also the single user sign on, but once this occurs am sure it will be a great system to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

SmartRecruiters works well if your hiring team is tech savvy and wants to be involved with the screening process, many of my hiring managers rely on me to do this for them but it is an education piece I need to work on.

Once SmartRecruiters is fully integrated with our major job board it will work very well.
