Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the system to quickly access new candidates and look through multiple resumes to find the right fit. In most business, it is important to have the opportunity to schedule interviews in a timely fashion. The growth of this brand has opened up the ability to conduct background checks and inboard a new hire in one system.

Pros and Cons

Communication portal.
Onboarding.
Resume layout.

Interface
Video chat ability.
Buzz word feedback.

Candidate Experience

Most of the candidates that apply for the position are not qualified and lack the experience. It would be beneficial if the candidates were rated based on their experience in the field. This would allow the recruiter or hiring manager to look at the top candidates for the position instead of reading over the under-qualified.

Usability for Hiring Managers

The interface is extremely easy to use. The system is very simple but sometimes it is not consistent and causes confusion between departments when we are working on bringing on a candidate. It is not perfect but based on the systems we have working with in the past, I find SR one of the better interfaces.

Return on Investment

Simple cross-departmental communication.
We found quality prospects.
The interface is simple.

Alternatives Considered

SmartRecruiters is moving in the right direction.

Likelihood to Recommend

SmartRecruiters is great for mass hiring situations and growing a sector of your business and when you need to find new candidates the streams in which the systems uses to gather new candidates is interesting. I'm not wasting time switching between multiple recruiting websites and searching. It is a one-stop-shop for new candidates and I enjoy reading the application history.
