Overall Satisfaction with SmartRecruiters

SmartRecruiters is an incredible tool to keep all parts of the recruitment process in a single place. From posting jobs, managing candidates, keeping track of their status in the process, adding comments and important information about them in an organized way, collaborating with the hiring team, etc.
  • Sending interview and self-schedule interview invitations directly from the platform and integrated to Outlook.
  • All sorts of possibilities to ask questions or add important information about the candidate (screening questions, forms, specific and customized fields such as notice period, salary range or expectations, etc.)
  • The recruiter interface is really good, with lots of details to allow the team to be more organized and efficient
  • Too many filters that are not the most important ones. Sometimes it's hard to find what we are looking for
  • I'd like the possibility to customize the fields and filters more (especially on the candidates tab)
  • Because SmartRecruiters is SO complete, it can be complex to do some setups or to use all its functionalities sometimes
  • Hiring process is standard across the company
  • Centralized information allows the product admins to easily have access to all information and details about the hiring processes, candidates, etc.
  • The features of the system save a lot of time from the team, preventing them to have a separate control of the process
Integration with Outlook for interviews is really good. We've tried SHL, but didn't work (mainly because of SHL, not SR) and we are in the process of integrating Modern Hire, but no feedback so far.
Having the integration with LinkedIn and many other free job boards is priceless. We don't really use other paid job boards

Do you think SmartRecruiters delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SmartRecruiters's feature set?

Yes

Did SmartRecruiters live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of SmartRecruiters go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy SmartRecruiters again?

Yes

SmartRecruiters is less appropriate when recruiting for a role that can be based in multiple locations (not a remote role, but candidates from different parts of the world are accepted). To save time, we should be able just to duplicate the job and only change the location, but instead we need to rewrite everything. This is one example of an inconvenience.
