CareerPlug Reviews

Pros

Everything feels very simple and getting it set up and running for a small business was easy.

Cons

They were upfront that the platform is not built to scale well for a larger company.

Pros

We had complete access to all the applicants and their resumes through this software.

Cons

I didn't receive notifications when applicants responded, which was a downside.

Pros

Personality assessments ended up being the feature I used the most and overall the software feels well structured.

Cons

It did feel like there wasn't enough separation between applicants.

Pros

Using it feels very easy and renewing an ad takes almost no time. All I needed to do was click a button and my ads were renewed right away.

Cons

Only thing I'd change is the renewal timing. I would have preferred being able to renew ads every 15 days instead of every 30 although I worked around that by offsetting some ads so I still had a few renewing and staying fresh every 15 days.

Pros

Having everything kept in one place was really helpful, assessments and scores, applicant profiles and resumes, new-hire paperwork and more were all organized in a single system.

Cons

I can't think of any issues. The website was also simple to navigate for both applicants and employers.

Pros

This product has worked out very well for us and has been a real success.

Cons

It has consistently met our needs throughout the past year.

Pros

Keeping tabs on where every applicant is in the hiring process feels very easy. You can leave notes, confirm both phone and in-person interviews, move candidates through to hiring and even create scorecards so other people at the company can review everything.

Cons

Since the newer version was introduced, going back after accidentally clicking to the next step has become harder which can make things a little confusing at times.

Pros

Using this program has been really easy because it's well organized and simple to work with. One thing I really appreciate is that it posts jobs out to different job sites so job seekers can easily find them. It handles all of that extra posting for me which saves me a lot of time.

Cons

Honestly haven't come across anything I dislike about it.

Pros

I really appreciate how well it connects with multiple job boards. Since using it we've noticed a clear increase in higher-quality applicants coming in from different countries.

Cons

Expired job postings don't refresh automatically. It would be really helpful to have an option that auto-refreshes a specific job post without needing manual updates.

Pros

Posting job descriptions through this system is really easy. It consistently brings us a large pool of qualified candidates and we've never had to rely on any other platform.

Cons

There aren't any parts of this software that feel difficult to use.

Pros

It really helps us speed up the hiring process and narrow our search to the right candidates much faster.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any complaints. It's very user-friendly.

Pros

Our job posts get great visibility because applicants can find them across multiple platforms. Being able to move candidates through each stage of the hiring process while keeping all communication in one place has been incredibly helpful. The best part is having new hire paperwork completed here too and I can quickly pull up or keep track of everything tied to each applicant with just a few keystrokes.

Cons

The hardest part has been having to relearn the system after the updates. There have been two major updates that significantly changed both the layout and the way certain functions work.

Pros

Everything feels well organized and the workflow moves nicely. The templates are helpful, the system makes the hiring process simple to manage and sharing communication across the team works really well.

Cons

One issue I've noticed is that finding specific jobs is not always very easy from a hiring manager's perspective. Having to go through the dropdown and scan all job templates just to locate open positions can be confusing for hiring managers.

Pros

Navigating the software is easy and it's very simple to use overall.

Cons

Email delivery isn't always reliable. At times, I reply to an applicant by email but they later call to say the message never reached them.

Pros

This software helps speed up applicant processing and makes reviewing applications much quicker. The platform is user-friendly, visually appealing and has a very simple interface that's simple to navigate.

Cons

We've honestly been happy with every part of this software.

Pros

At Hubbard we get several applications every day and this platform does a really good job of keeping the whole hiring process organized. The step-by-step setup is user-friendly and helps us stay on track from one stage to the next. We also really appreciate the prescreening questions and assessments. When we're sorting through a stack of applications, those tools make it much easier to identify and organize our top candidates.

Cons

If there's one thing we'd change it would be adding more home screen layout options for job postings.
