Overall Satisfaction with SmartRecruiters

Smartrecruiters is being used as an applicant tracking and candidate database. It is being used by a centralised talent team as well as by hiring managers and business HR representatives. It centralises for us as database of internal and external talent. It underpins the recruitment strategy from a technology perspective and assists to ensure there is one view of recruitment transactions across the organisation.

Pros

  • It is simple and quick to create roles and post adverts - efficiently is optimised and time saved for recruiters.
  • Client support - proactive support to the business by client success managers - timely and highly responsive support to address system issues.
  • Intuitive and user friendly - can be used with little or no training by hiring managers and recruiters.

Cons

  • Reporting and analytics functionality - we rely solely on off system support for all reporting and analytics. Excel spreadsheet is sent to us quickly.
  • Candidate management - "leads are confusing" and mix passive applicants with active.
  • Candidate mining - can't save searches.
  • Recruitment approval process - cannot be initiated by the business because currently requires them to create an "advertisement", therefore relying on a paper trail for audit purposes and management of recruitment approval outside of smartrecruiters.
  • Centralised candidate database that we never had before.
  • Management of applicants who have been sent to us by recruitment agencies....data to push back with. i.e. reduced spend on recruiters.
  • Shared talet database and creation of talent pools
Very strong.
Please note these are not comprehensive; I have tried to summarise to the top two:
  1. Very appropriate advertising administration - very strong in being ale to quickly post and advertise quickly and manage applicant response
  2. Hiring manager interaction - very easy for managers to review and rate candidates
Less appropriate:
Difficult to ask managers to self serve on recruitment approval process - no functionality for this
Leads - tricky to explain to managers how to use leads and review applicant response - candidates get missed regularly
