Harver Reviews

Pros

Our business has been using this tool for a few years now and I genuinely enjoy the whole system and how simple it is to work with. The standout part though, is the people. Everyone we interact with is friendly, genuinely helpful and quick to respond. They've even gone out of their way to answer my questions and support my recruiters when they need extra training. On top of that they're really open to feedback and take it seriously when it comes to updates or changes to the platform.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any downsides. It makes my job easier and the reference-checking workflow is far better than calling each reference individually.

Pros

It does a really solid job with role matching for sales roles and it also helps match candidates to the right sales position to figure out who's likely to be the best fit. That alignment between the job and the candidate experience comes through clearly.

Cons

It doesn't feel fully definitive when it comes to predicting how likely someone is to succeed in future sales performance so you still have to verify outcomes beyond the matching itself.

Pros

Setting up my new applicants in the app has been incredibly easy. Adding someone only takes a name, an email and a button click. Seriously, it barely takes any time at all. On top of that the reference/rater emails that go out to candidates feel professional and the reports look really clean and well designed.

Cons

I'm still getting familiar with the platform so I might be missing it but it would be even better if I could highlight or single out the references inside the report. That way, I could choose which ones to display or focus on. It may already exist but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

Pros

This feels incredibly user-friendly and it's honestly one of the easiest platforms I've used. Everything is laid out in a way that makes the reference-check flow simple to follow without a lot of extra guesswork.

Cons

The visual graphs included in their reference check don't really do much for me personally. That said some people prefer more visual summaries so I get why they're there. Also if you don't have two supervisors available, you can't just wrap things up on your end, you'll need to ask customer service to close the reference check. It's not a huge deal but it is an extra step.

Pros

Harver gives surprisingly deep insights, not just into someone's skills but also their motivations, whether they're potential candidates or current team members. That level of context has been a huge help in our workflow especially when we're training and selecting salespeople.

Cons

It's been solid for us and nothing really stands out as a downside.

Pros

The thing I appreciate most is how it gives detailed explanations that make evaluations way clearer. Every time I've used this tool, those breakdowns helped me understand what I was looking at and make more confident decisions during the assessment process.

Cons

Nothing major to complain about, it's been working well for me in the past and hasn't given me any real trouble.

Pros

It is genuinely simple to use and I've been enjoying it more than other tools out there overall. I recently even noticed some enhanced features and it's been a pleasant improvement.

Cons

Occasionally feels like it loses momentum. I'd also love to see reports become much richer, with better insights into candidate behavior. Our teams are used to implementing SkillSurvey and the reports there gave us more useful information.

Pros

Posting a check is simple and the answers come back unbelievably quickly. The reporting format is also really clear and easy to read. Another feature we're looking forward to is the ability to share the reference check report effortlessly, right now we still have to rely on manual calling recommendations and we'd basically wait for someone to call back or coordinate who would reach out, use the control unit and get results back fast. Switching to this has cut down our total filling time a lot and overall it's helped keep our hiring process in better shape. Being able to see which people have opted in has also made it much easier to choose the right company and move forward with confidence.

Cons

We did use a management unit to identify internal candidates too, by completing an internal guide review with managers. That setup feels like a slight difference from the game flow because it takes extra steps to keep both the internal candidate and the manager time intact.

Pros

The job previews feel genuinely accurate and realistic and the candidate profiles are packed with detailed information. It's also been a big help for our efficiency problems, we've seen a real reduction in the friction across the process. On top of that candidates tend to enjoy going through it which makes a noticeable difference in engagement.

Cons

That said, the interface could use a bit more polish and there's definitely a learning curve when you first start. The initial setup also takes some time so it's not something you'll have fully running immediately.

Pros

This highly innovative and interactive software revolutionizes the candidate and employer perspective. It provides a job preview to set clear expectations and offers a broad range of selection tools (assessments). The platform proves especially useful for handling a large volume of applicants, including graduates.

Cons

When I used the software in 2017/2018, some assessments were still under development. I believe they have updated the portfolio since then.
