Compare Recruitee with other popular tools in the same category.
It's very user friendly, and great to see all the information and communication(internal&external) in the same place. Talent Pools are nice for saving potentially interesting candidates for the future. Recruitee team is very active in responding to questions and product requests.
Unfortunately it still does not support mobile. Another drawback is that it does not save your email or comment text as a draft and can be lost when you leave the page.
Keeping track of large amount of vacancies&applicants while calloborating with the team.
I really enjoy having the filters and fingers - that is very helpful
Sometimes I may be lost in the filters :) But I believe I just need some time to adapt
As mentioned<, the info is really well sorted and thus saves my time as I may all the needed filters once
It's a good SaaS ATS with some nice features. It's very flexible by means that you can choose a lot of options per job like certain specific fiels you like in the application form, or the process you can adapt to your needs.
The tool is fully flexible on all levels. That can be a challenge if you'd like to streamline certain processes in order to get the right data out of it. The flexibility makes data contamination quite easy.
It makes sure that we have and adaquate ATS where everything is visible for the people in our organisation up to the levels that we require (different users etc )
The UI/UX is very user friendly and foolproof. Besides, using Recruitee let's us focus and helps us with an excellent candidate journey and saves us time.
It sometimes feels like Recruitee is made for smaller businesses, with over 150 vacancies we sometimes lose the overview a little bit.
Filling in our vacancies, it spares us a lot of time.
I like how the platform is very straightforward. You can learn it on your own. I also appreciate how responsive their customer support team is. They even follow up with you if you are not responding and ensure that the issue gets resolved before closing the ticket.
I think regardless of plans (except for free), allocating dedicated support staff won't hurt the business especially for clients who are just starting to transition from manual to an ATS. Yes, it is easy to navigate, but just like employment, onboarding is a critical part of the entire experience. Ensuring that they get the best of the system and giving them confidence that they're doing it right will be very helpful.
Management of applicants. For someone who's not only dedicated to talent acquisition, this saves us a lot of time. We were given more time to focus on more important tasks.
Easy UI. Drag and drop profiles were the easiest of all.Recruitee is a user friendly app.
However, customization is limited. Probably some one who set up the app for us did not follow through our hiring process. Which limited the scope of customisation.
We were using it to store all the resumes.
Mobile app works well (a few hickups). Good level of customization and automation.
Offer letter is not automated. There is no onboarding flow. Applicant's profile should display past or ongoing applications for any company role (it displays none).
Sourcing for candidates and pipeline management.
- easy-to-use - possibility to change the stages in each process - possibility to add templates for feedbacks, emails - integration with Google account (mails, calendar) - possibility to tag team members in notes (and visibility options) - possibility to send a feedback request - possibility to add team members to project
- lack of integration with LinkedIn - this is the most disturbing thing (adding candidates from LinkedIn taking too much time - even using a Recruitee Sourcing plug). Also, it would be great if to see in Recruitee messages that were sent to candidates through LinkedIn (the option that is available for example in Lever ATS) - not enough options in the scheduler - I wish there could be a possibility to add time buffers before/after meeting (like in Calendly) - not a user-friendly method to create tracking links (to know the source of the candidate's application) - integration with Zoom - that there is the possibility to integrate with only one account (in our company every recruiter has his own Zoom account so only one person can use this integration)
Benefits: an easy tool to cooperate with the team (e.g. hiring managers) Problems: as above (in dislike section)
- Good and intuitive UI/UX design in general - The apps provided are useable in most of the cases, from web to mobile
- Some minor UI bugs on the text editor or the text dialog renderer could be annoying but the team is very open to take the responsibility to fix it
Streamline the recruitment process has never been easy, and recruitee made it happen for a small scale organization like us. From sourcing the data, to automate the profiling, labelling, to coordinate with the others within thw recruitment squad, all can be done in 1 place. Also they offer a good integration for our job board marketing.
The overview of the vacancies is useful. The workflow you can set up for each vacancy. It's helpful that you can rate candidates and that hiring managers also can see the cv of the candidate and give their feedback. So the system is easy to use for yourself and to collaborate. Also, the integration part with LinkedIn is helpfull.
Filtering phases within the vacancies are not easy to do to see what the status of the vacancy is and how much effort the recruiter has delivered. The report site of Recruitee could be more detailed.
The team collaborates within Recruitee, so there is less time to discuss—the process of recruitment continues which is nice. We have more identical vacancies available, so we can use a talent pool to manage interesting candidates for the future.
Collaborative aspects and sharing the progress together, the way it should be.
1. When transferring candidates there aren't transferred to the same phase in the incoming jobs 2. Not being able to individually push to indeed, can only be done collectively or not at all
Collaboration, documentation, better applicant management, scraping from imported CVs
Repetitive tasks in the hiring process can be done half-automated It's great for getting an overview about the current status for an open position It's easy to filter out spam applications and focus on the relevant ones
Sending of automated emails is not always working After updates the UI sometimes changes a lot and it takes time to get used to it Video calls are currently causing issues and we often have to switch to 3rd parties
We could get rid of external recruiters and save lots of time though the automated emails Each team member automatically has access to the applications he needs to access
Very intuitive. Love the wide range of add market placed it's connected to accross countries.
We're a relatively small team and we only need a couple of job postings all the time. If we want to add one of two extra we're immediately moved up a whole tier. Not a lot of flexibility on their end.
Spreading our job postings, Managing the recruitment process
I like how simple the ap is to use That I can use it on my phone that it allows monthly payments That it integrates a website and a database
The service has been OK so far as far as response time however I feel as though the product has allot of potential to be excellent but upgrades are slow. Obvious updates such as improvement with maximizing registration for better database searches and categorizing of candidates being the main thing
Keeping project updates in a relevant place for my team to see Saving candidate data
Recruitee is very easy to use and priced right. I like that it creates a careers page for my company's site and that applicants are easy to track.
There isn't much I don't like. If I had to be nit-picky the UI could use a refresh!
Keeping hundreds of applicants orgainizes if tough, especially when multiple team members are interviewing. Recruitee streamlines the communication between my team regarding applicants and has sped up our hiring process from a month or two to 2-3 weeks.
Easy review functionality. Easy linkedin connector
Search fonctionality and working with different pools/phases
Better view on candidates
Great chat support, nice layout, very easy to use
Some functionalities like scorecards, "add custom fields" for the whole jobs and some more which I wrote in emails
Thatnk to recruitee we are in contact with all applicants what is good for our employer branding.
Recruitee helps my team and me to have a clear communication in all steps of the process.
Some times links in e-mail from candidates do not appears in e-mail visualization tab in Recruitee.
I have been used Recruitee to review developer candidates that send tests answers for our hiring process.
• Recruitee's roadmap is public which allows you to see what's coming and they frequently add new things. • Recruitee has built-in actions to automatically do things like request reviews or send messages as candidate move through your pipeline. • Recruitee allows you to schedule emails to candidates, which can be very useful as you're processing messages. • Jobs site looks good and is easy to add to and customize. • Built in Evaluations are easily customizable and allow for great structured interviews. • You can easily share candidates with anyone using their "Sharable Links"
• Permissioning is not granular enough, to make full use of all of Recruitee's features everyone must have an account, however, you cannot control access enough to hide certain fields from certain users - a must for us. • With thousands of candidates, Recruitee can be exceptionally slow to load. • Its UI also makes it slow to navigate and use, particularly when it comes to managing candidates. There are no hot keys, many things are buried in menus, and the menus all act differently. • API is unstable. The API will frequently silently fail. Lookups don't always work. Response payloads are inconsistent. • Reporting is hard to understand and the data Recruitee uses isn't necessarily clear (so you're never sure if a report is telling you what you want). • Candidate search & filtering isn't super advanced, you can't have things like nested booleans. • Sharable links have clear and unresolved security vulnerabilities. • Pricing has dramatically increased in the years since we first signed up with them and now it's on par with more developed platforms out there. I might consider Lever or Greenhouse or another market leader at this point.
We use Recruitee to hire for our internal team and have used it to evaluate our pipeline of tens of thousands of educational fellows. It's made candidate management much easier and faster. It further allowed us to quickly create our application flow and process our fellowship applications.
I used to like Scheduler before you started to offer this just in the Scale plan. I like Recruitee support. Always helpful.
Many things - unfortunately now. Currently, we have 10 slots with you, but still not enough for better features. Your plan is made just for big companies - corporates. I don't know what made you think that small companies, startups don't need big features like you offering in the Scale plan currently. Startups can not afford to pay that amount of price. Your sales plan before was much better. You paid for slots with all the features. Now for this pricing, I can go smw. else with the same features but less money as we pay with you. I also don't like "Hiring roles" I understand that without the Scale plan you can not add any other role, but not be able to change the setting with current roles f.e. who can see this, who not, who has access there... these are basic settings of the account!! Then you can as well removed this roles because you can not set them up as you need. So why to have it there. Notes - I am missing notes, currently, you are able to write in a little square some note, but I miss a proper page for it, like Evernote or smt. I am getting lost in this small square. PROMOTE JOBS - you can switch them on, but not off?? We had an issue that we started to receive absolutely irrelevant CV's so I tried to turn it off from one job page, but it was not working. If you have a button turn on there - there should be off as well, or please write a note somewhere above that once you turn it on, you can not switch off. I spent quite some time to google it.... then your support helped me.
As I mentioned above. Problems with Hiring roles Promoting jobs. I m missing Scheduler. We have to use Calendly links now - free accounts. It's a shame we pay for 10 slots, but not enough to have this. Before we had 4 slots with you with all the features. Benefits... well it's a big storage of CV's. I like that you can make a workflow. So it's easier to orientate around. It's very easy and logical. Very friendly to use. When I am scrolling down your questions from this survey I don't understand why you asking kind of questions: Scheduling - We have no scheduler - so plain emails with invitations for an interview are sent. Applicant Data Management. - Everybody needs to be an administrator to be able to have access or not because we can not change hiring roles settings rights.
The recruiting system is very user-friendly and makes it much easier to follow the process.
I cannot have my own idea regarding the final look of my career site because in a vast majority, it is impossible to set it up in my way. I do not mean brand new solutions. Most of them you can find on a different web pages. Unfortunately, there are so many requests on a road map that you need to stay patient while waiting to implement your idea.
Having the recruitment process is much easier than it was before, and what is more, it is easy to share with other team colleagues.
That agencies can upload candidates and the "team notes" are handy.
I miss a lot of features. I can't really file candidates. I need to put them in a pipeline or delete them . The invites are not connected to google calendar, the access options I can give people is limited.
I'm responsible for the recruitment of a scale-up
I like the functions of Recruitee. Grab and Drag function is useful. I like the mobile app it makes access easier when I am on the go. Templates are a plus as well though there are some glitches at times, but being able to customize my workflows is a help as I deal with multiple clients
I dont see a lot of candidate activity come through my job boards, that is a problem. There seems at times that my gmail and recruitee account are not linked, I do not always receive emails in both inboxes. I dont like that I cannot reach customer service 24/7, I work odd hours and at times I have to wait several hours for a response. Also I prefer calls to emails when receiving tech support, as my time can be limited a call is more effective for me to get an issue resolved Duplicate candidates- i feel that there should be a better system in flagging duplicates a lot of times I am able to upload the same candidate and then I am alerted to merge similar profiles. and this is a waste of time. I should be able to see that there is a duplicate candidate before uploading them
I am still evaluating the benefits of Recruitee for my business. Not sure if I will be renewing my terms at the end of my current contract
On first site, it all looked good, and easy to follow,
They doubled the price for existing customers without notice. Being an existing customer who put a lot of effort in setting up the software, and having all records of confidential applicants on the platform, and no easy export, this is quite frustrating.
Have a reliable software partner for our applicant tracking system
It was very customer friendly tool and helped us to automate our recruitment process (was!)
After paying MORE for subscription (from 79 euro we started to pay 99 euro) they CANCELLED us the features that were automatizing the process (scheduler for meetings, screening questions surveys, API to connect with our website and others) and they asked to pay over 300 euro to get those features back. We invested a lot of time and money to integrate this system and after three months we are facing again if not to change for another ATS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SURPRISED BY UNEXPECTED CHANGE OF CONDITIONS - FOR WORST (not better as it should be with still being developed software) - DO NOT CHOOSE RECRUITEE. Otherwise your effort to set it up, budget and processes are in danger. Do not trust this company (as you can see we are very disappointed right now).
We could in the past truly automate recruiting process and integrate it with our website. Right now not anymore.
This product was very easy to use, also the customer service during our companies onboarding to the product was great. There was no shortage of help. They even worked with us to develop a solution that included more jobs as we maxed out their highest plan almost immediately.
Ultimately we left Recruitee because we needed something that could handle ATS, hiring, onborarding, and communications with and to existing staff. When we let it be known that we were leaving the tone of everything abruptly changed. No more customer service, our contact no longer communicated with us, and the IT team just sent us a link to their API to retrieve our data encompassing over 500 applicants in varying stages. Upon further investigation the API that they provided left the data in several pieces. In order to retrieve it we were forced with the option of developing custom script on our own or paying a developer a rate of $5k, which was the lowest bid we could find due to the time it would take to extrapolate it all. Ultimately with this Recruitee let us down. They boast that all of the data you insert into their system is yours but that's not necessarily true.
For Americans this isn't the best bet as they are in Europe on pretty much an opposite time zone. Also is not good for recruiting teams, staffing agencies, and the like as they aren't really capable of supporting a mass amount of jobs without some negotiation. I look at service in a 360 perspective. The first 180 was good when we signed up but the other side of the coin was a huge let down - they literally just stopped communicating with us even though they are holding 500+ applicants and all of the data we have on them. It's still there now, with no way to access it or do anything about it without shelling out cash to a third party. Hugely disappointing. It is due to my overall experience that I can not, in good conscience, recommend this product to anyone but my competitors because I know ultimately it won't go the distance for them and will put them at a disadvantage, which in the long run will benefit us. It is what it is.
