hireEZ Reviews

“A great and affordable talent finder

Pros

It is a great tool for finding top talent without relying solely on LinkedIn which has gotten really pricey lately. HireEZ is affordable and lets us do everything right in the platform so now no more jumping between apps needed.

Cons

Occasionally when I am sourcing, I will include must-have requirements in the search but it still shows me candidate profiles that don't actually have those skills.

“huge return with AI and teamwork

Pros

From my time using HireEZ, the return on investment has been huge, thanks mainly to two standout features. The AI review tool lets me scan hundreds of candidate profiles in way less time than doing it by hand almost like giving me superpowered screening skills so I can spot great matches faster. Even better is the project sharing as I can work with my team in real time, sharing candidate lists and notes without messy email chains or scattered spreadsheets.

Cons

There is nothing major as the platform keeps improving to meet user needs. Like any product there is always room to grow.

“speeds up recruiting but needs smoother campaigns

Pros

HireEZ speeds up outbound recruiting and makes it way more scalable. Getting around LinkedIn's connection limits and pulling full profiles from different platforms has totally changed how I find hidden or hard to reach talent. The outreach sequencing is smooth and includes a handy option to send emails as hiring managers which boosts response rates while lightening their load. Also it is super easy to learn so new team members get up to speed quickly.

Cons

Campaign management could be smoother. Juggling multiple sequences at once feels a bit awkward and I wish there was built-in A/B testing to help refine outreach messages. Also a little more polish here would make a great tool even better.

“useful for fast hiring

Pros

I have found HireEZ really useful when I need to fill several roles fast as the AI search helps me sort through candidates in no time. I also like how the outreach tool keeps my messages tidy and lets me personalize emails even when reaching out to lots of people.

Cons

Every now and then the email contacts are not accurate or bounce back so I end up having to verify them manually. It does not happen often but it can slow things down when it does.

“finds hidden candidates quickly

Pros

My favorite thing about it is how it finds passive candidates on sites beyond LinkedIn. It also pulls personal emails and phone numbers easily, saving me lots of research time. The email campaign tool with read receipts is another big win as it keeps all my outreach organized in one spot.

Cons

Sometimes the platform shows duplicate profiles which means extra time spent cleaning them up. There is also a learning curve with all the advanced filters and options especially for someone just getting started.

“quick candidate pull-up

Pros

I love being able to quickly pull up candidates based on a job description or resume I provide. Plus the filtering and Boolean search options are really helpful too.

Cons

The initial training session felt a bit rushed but the follow-up trainings I scheduled have been really helpful.

“great contacts and campaigns but too many updates

Pros

Having access to candidates direct contact info is a major plus. The campaign feature lets us reach out in a structured, consistent way. And I love that it integrates with our ATS so we can upload candidates straight into the system.

Cons

There are frequent updates which sometimes makes it tricky to find things. Also I noticed the AI functionality is not quite where it needs to be yet.

“Uses campaigns and talent pools well

Pros

I regularly use their email campaigns for outreach, talent pools for sourcing and the ATS integration to clean up and organize candidate data into projects.

Cons

Integration between Crelate and HireEZ could be stronger and I'd love to see my Crelate lists sync more smoothly along with opportunities and tags communicating better between the two systems.

“great search function but leaning curve

Pros

The search function is great and I like being able to save projects I am working on. It's also helpful to narrow results down to a specific city or region.

Cons

It takes a few tries to get the hang of searching effectively. Once the platform learns the kind of candidates you're looking for, it works really well. So I would say just stick with it.

“Valuable contact details

Pros

I really value the contact details and being able to see matching resumes. It is also a nice bonus that when you post a job, plus it shares your listing across other job boards to attract more candidates.

Cons

If there are widespread contact information issues, we have to send each one individually to an engineer to fix. When we have a large batch with outdated or incorrect info, it becomes a manual, time-consuming process.

“great contacts but needs better search functionality

Pros

Having access to contact information is key and it's simple to import candidates into our Crelate database without worrying about duplicates.

Cons

Sourcing in it relies more on tag-based searches rather than full boolean logic and the AI-driven tagging is not always accurate. I often end up manually sorting through over-tagged contacts to find the right fit. Since we recruit life sciences executives, our searches are highly complex and boolean search is essential. If your recruiting needs are more simple, I think its approach may work well for you.

“Excellent Features with Quality Data

Pros

Boolean generator and x-ray search features have really simplified my recruitment process since my manager recommended this platform. Customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever I've reached out, had two great experiences with them so far.

Cons

I wish there was a way to verify contact info upfront because I often run into dead phone numbers that waste my time

“incredible recruiting tool with minor flaws

Pros

search functionality is incredibly powerful, I can hunt for candidates across all the major platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub and Dice without jumping between sites. What really saves me time is being able to upload a job description or resume and let it parse for matching candidates automatically. The Boolean string creator is a lifesaver for complex searches and the email sequencing feature makes bulk outreach so much smoother. I love that I can import and export candidate lists in different formATs and push them straight into our ATs. Their support team is outstanding and they actually respond quickly and seem to genuinely care about helping customers succeed. Plus there's a free plan option which is great for testing it out.

Cons

Import and export features can be buggy sometimes and end up wasting credits though customer service is usually good about refunding them when you reach out. I've seen other users complain about the pricing being steep for bigger companies and staffing agencies but I'm on a lower tier plan that I've had since the Hiretual days which is way more reasonable. You might need to specifically ask about that single user option though.

“Talent sourcing Made simple

Pros

Candidate matching works really well and saves me tons of time. I appreciate having access to such a diverse talent pool and the interface is easy to navigate.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind that bothers me about this system.

“Finally Found a Tool That Works

Pros

suggested profiles are incredibly accurate. I really appreciate how simple the filtering is and the automation features work great.

Cons

sometimes profiles won't open when I click through to LinkedIn which can be frustrating. Also noticed that candidate job information isn't always current, their employment details seem outdated compared to what's actually on their LinkedIn.

“overpriced and disappointing value

Pros

I can quickly locate emails and discover candidates across different industry sectors.

Cons

Pricing jumped more than triple what we were paying and they didn't even give us a heads up. After being loyal customers for over 3 years, they won't honor our previous rate. Doesn't seem like great business practice to me.

“great recruiting platform with room to grow

Pros

I find this tool excellent for tracking down accurate email addresses and phone numbers when I need to reach specific contacts.

Cons

Number of clicks could definitely be reduced in my opinion, it takes more steps than necessary to complete tasks.

“Email delivery issues with Office365

Pros

Honestly the sequence feature is a game-changer for us. It's seriously bumped up our reply rates and honestly, it's just so much easier to stay on top of follow-ups without it being a total headache

Cons

The one big headache is the delivery. Since it piggybacks on our personal Office 365 accounts, a bunch of our emails just get bounced back.

“Essential Tool with Minor Hiccups

Pros

Interface is really engaging and keeps me interested during long sourcing sessions. There's so much interactivity available that I never get bored or feel like I'm seeing the same candidates over and over again.

Cons

The sequencing options need some improvement. For proper a/B testing, I'd love to assign a sequence template that automatically sends at preset times instead of manually adjusting the send time every single time. Also there's this annoying thing where two extra lines appear above my signature whenever I review sequences for sending, I have to delete them each time which gets tedious.

“perfect recruiting platform

Pros

I've never come across such an excellent tool before. Logging in is comfortable and easy plus finding official and personal email addresses and phone numbers is really simple. Sourcing candidates is incredibly simple too.

Cons

sometimes contact details display incorrectly and certain profiles only show phone numbers or email addresses. Beyond that I haven't encountered any other drawbacks with this tool.

“Good Alternative to manual sourcing

Pros

The user interface has an appealing aesthetic appeal and is visually pleasing.

Cons

It's easy to use, but I found a tool that makes the work even easier. You can explore it here - [Customer support]

“Effective Customer Communication Tool

Pros

The search profiles are incredibly useful for me and having access to reliable contact details makes sending personalized automated follow ups so much smoother.

Cons

aI search results could be better when I enter specific skills, job titles and keywords, it doesn't always pull up the most relevant matches. It's decent overall but there's definetly room for improvement in the accuracy.

“excellent sourcing tool for diverse talent

Pros

I find the platform really easy to navigate and get into. Working with hiring managers on different projects flows smoothly and it's been great for our diversity hiring initiatives. The AI sourcing feature is helpful and I appreciate how the insights give me great research capabilities. The reporting functionality works well too.

Cons

Would be nice for me if there was a way to filter out candidates I've already contacted, that would make things much smoother.

“Comprehensive and Well structured system

Pros

Really well designed system that's simple to navigate and it's been an excellent way to find passive candidates for our open positions.

Cons

Email address pricing feels steep, it would be nice for me to see some bulk pricing options.

“powerful sequencing features

Pros

sequencing feature works really well for both of my recruiting and sales activities.

Cons

Contact information is frequently inaccurate which creates issues. I wish there was a way to automatically send emails to business addresses instead of having to manually select primary emails one by one.

“amazing sourcing with outstanding support

Pros

I find this tool incredibly easy to navigate and it delivers excellent results every time. The customer success team really goes above and beyond, they're genuinely invested in helping us get the most out of the platform, they actually listen to our suggestions for improvements and there always rolling out new features and enhancements.

Cons

Haven't gotten any complaints from my team so far.

“smooth recruiting solution

Pros

I can easily find potential candidates without any hassle.

Cons

In my opinion contact details aren't always current and need updating more frequently.

“Efficient recruiting platform with great potential

Pros

sourcing has become way more simplified since I started using sequences to add candidates. Once I set up a sequence, I know follow-up messages will automatically go out without me having to remember. Plus including calendar links in emails makes it incredibly simple for people to book time directly on my schedule. The filtering options are fantastic, much more great than what LinkedIn offers. I can use diversity filters and industry specific ones like "Cloud services" or "Blockchain" which really helps narrow down searches. The Chrome and Lever integration is a game changer too. Importing candidates into our ATs couldn't be easier.

Cons

The estimated market value feature feels a bit off from what I'm seeing in the real market. Would be more helpful if it showed compensation ranges for specific areas like showing that account executives with this experience level in austin typically earn between X and Y rather than just one number.

“simple tool for contact discovery

Pros

I rely on this tool exclusively for finding candidate contact details. When I spot someone on LinkedIn who looks like a good fit, I can quickly pull their personal email addresses through the platform. While I work with several other CRMs, this one consistently delivers the contact information I need when others come up empty.

Cons

I probably don't tap into all its features but for what I actually need it handles everything perfectly fine, no issues so far!

“Sourcing with HireEZ

Pros

HireEZ makes it simple for us to access a potential candidates contact details, including email and mobile numbers. This makes it much easier to follow up with passive candidates who may not regularly check their chat box. Setting up email sequences on HireEZ is also pretty easy and the timing is perfect for reaching out to potential candidates.

Cons

No complaints as I think HireEZ is one of the best sourcing tools I have used.

“Impressive support and user friendly design

Pros

Interface is incredibly simple, I haven't had to reach out to customer support once in all my years using it. When I finally did need help with an account issue recently, Gladys was amazing, super responsive, quick and genuinely cared about solving my problem. The features are fantastic and the search results are completely different from LinkedIn's so I don't feel like I'm paying for the same thing twice.

Cons

Can't really think of any major downsides. While I don't dislike anything about it, having a built-in integration with Recruitee (our ATs) would be a nice addition.

“great value with amazing support

Pros

Offers way more features for my team than LinkedIn Recruiter while costing less than even LinkedIn Premium.

Cons

Getting used to all the features takes time for me since some aren't very simple to figure out.

“best software for dealerships

Pros

From my perspective the interface is super simple and I love how the dashboard presents all the key information clearly. But honestly the email sequencing feature is what really sets this apart, it automatically stops sending follow ups once someone responds which saves so much time and prevents awkward over communication.

Cons

LinkedIn integration could be much smoother. Right now I have to export profiles or open them individually to upload to LinkedIn projects which creates duplicates and sometimes misses candidates entirely. It's pretty time consuming and frustrating when you're trying to manage bulk uploads.

“Pretty good recruiting platform

Pros

Really appreciate being able to verify work authorization status right away, plus checking for security clearances and GitHub profiles. It lets me dive deep into someone's technical abilities and cross reference everything with their resume and LinkedIn to get the full picture.

Cons

I wish it could connect to angel List and there's no way to set up automated tasks for reaching out to candidates on LinkedIn or sending connection requests there.

“Reliable Tool for sourcing Requirements

Pros

I like being able to send emails directly to candidates through the system. The interface is easy and doesn't require much of a learning curve to get comfortable with.

Cons

Main issue I've noticed is that email accuracy can be pretty hit or miss. Some contacts have current addresses but others are stuck with outdated emails from previous jobs they held. Then there are cases where the emails are so far off that I question if they're even for the right person, maybe 95% incorrect.

“aligns candidate capture effectively

Pros

The interface is incredibly simple and I really appreciate how easy the dashboard is to navigate.

Cons

Dashboard shows shared sequences from other team members but I can't remove the ones I don't need. Since my colleagues recruit for different verticals than mine, their sequences just clutter up my view and aren't relevant to what I'm working on.

“organized for discovering quality candidates

Pros

Creating sequences has been a game changer for me since it guarantees and it's easy for me to follow up with prospects consistently.

Cons

Would be great for me if sending a sequence automatically moved candidates to the contacted status instead of having to do it manually.

“outstanding sourcing solution!

Pros

I really appreciate being able to create sequences for outreach. The aI-powered candidate recommendations are fantastic and getting daily emails with suggested candidates saves me tons of time. What I find particularly useful is the option to specify exactly why a candidate isn't the right fit, whether it's their title, location or experience level. The diversity filter is a nice touch too. The search functionality goes way beyond basic filters, I can actually search by company type like unicorns or private companies which is incredibly helpful. There's also this rediscovered filter that helps me find candidates already in our ATs that I might have overlooked. Integration with Lever and LinkedIn was surprisingly smooth and easy. Being able to access candidate email addresses and phone numbers directly is a huge time saver and the "high availability" filter helps me focus on candidates who are actually looking to make a move.

Cons

Estimated market feature rarely provides useful insights since it's usually way off from actual market conditions. I wish I could view the messages I've sent to candidates right on their profile page instead of having to dig around for them.

“great sequences, needs contact verification

Pros

Customized filters for sourcing are fantastic and the sequence feature is absolutely a game changer for follow ups. I love that you only pay when you first uncover contact info, then can set up unlimited follow ups. My response rate jumped from 15-25% on other platforms to 35-55% here, thATs a huge improvement in my outreach success.

Cons

It would be really helpful for me if there was a way to verify that contact info is actually valid. There are some quirky search issues too like occasionally a title will slip through when it shouldn't but the team is pretty responsive when I give them feedback about these things.

“top recruiting platform choice

Pros

Getting started with market analysis through the talent insights feature has been fantastic. I find it a game changer for intake meetings with managers as I can clearly show market trends. Once everyone is aligned, moving into sourcing feels much easier and more strategic for my team.

Cons

Honestly can't think of anything negative to say. This has become one of my go to tools that I rely on daily with my team. The developers are always pushing updates and improvements so there really aren't any complaints from me.

“Efficient recruiting with smart AI features

Pros

This platform brings everything together in one place which has been a game changer for my recruitment process. My previous tools never connected with email or tracked candidate responses properly. The automated sequences are fantastic, they keep engaging prospects while I focus on filling the pipeline with new candidates. The filtering options are really great too especially the diversity features that help me build more inclusive candidate pools.

Cons

sometimes diversity function isn't 100% accurate, I'd say it gets it right about 8 out of 10 times but sometimes candidates who are clearly diverse get excluded or non diverse ones get included. The job title search function really needs improvement too. Many titles are excluded and doing a boolean search doesn't give the same results as using proper tags. This is extremely important for selling to technical recruiters and Ta leaders in my opinion. As someone who recruits for niche skill sets, finding the right candidates feels like searching for needles in a haystack. They should do deep dives into what job titles can be incorporated or create a space where recruiters can suggest titles themselves.

“poor tool for sales hiring

Pros

automated email sequences and follow up features work fine for me.

Cons

The system doesn't let you differentiate between negative and positive responses which is frustrating. Most of the data feels really outdated and hardly anyone responds anyway. Non executives get annoyed by the direct email outreach, some contacts are work emails too! I've gotten some pretty harsh replies calling it unprofessional. The search function is terrible and doesn't work properly even with quotation marks. Sales reps just ignore these emails and stick to LinkedIn instead.

“simple Chrome extension workflow

Pros

I love how the chrome extension works easily across different websites, being able to grab email addresses and launch sequences from anywhere makes my workflow so much smoother and is honestly the best feature.

Cons

High availability filter doesn't bring up nearly as many results compared to LinkedIn's "Open to Work" option. I don't get as many responses as I do on LinkedIn which is pretty disappointing.

“easy search and outreach

Pros

search and screening features make finding prospects really simple and engaging with them feels natural. Being able to sync my email account and create automated sequences has really improveed my response rates, it's been a game changer for outreach.

Cons

While I can't think of much that needs fixing, there are occasional hiccups with incorrect email addresses or LinkedIn profiles showing up though I'm honestly surprised by how many accurate emails I actually get.

“simplified our team workflow perfectly

Pros

Email campaign feature is fantastic, saves me tons of time compared to writing individual messages from scratch.

Cons

Occasionally the email bounce tracking isn't very accurate, I see way more bounces in my Outlook outbox than what shows up in my account. Pretty sure this is just a bug that needs fixing.

“strong analytics for targeting but sequences underdeliver

Pros

analytics really help me in exactly what kind of candidate I need. Plus the diversification capabilities are a huge advantage that makes sourcing much more effective.

Cons

I find myself spending tons of time adding candidates with contact info to projects and setting up sequences but when I actually send them out, only a handful of people recieve the messages. It's frustrating because you think you're reaching way more candidates than you actually are.

“useful tenure filtering

Pros

I appreciate having the option to narrow down candidates based on how long they've been in there current position.

Cons

Feature that annoys me that there's no way to remove company email addresses from the system. This creates a risk of accidentally sending messages to a candidate's current employer which can be pretty embarrassing and unprofessional.

“advanced search and Filters

Pros

search and filtering features are fantastic, I can zero in on exactly what I'm looking for without endlessly scrolling through thousands of profiles.

Cons

I wish the analytics view would let me keep filtering after I've already narrowed down to the "good fit" category.

“aI-Powered Contact suggestions

Pros

The AI suggestions are incredibly helpful for me, no need to create those long, complex Boolean strings anymore and still get spot on results. I also really appreciate the email sequences feature and being able to track how well they're performing.

Cons

Nothing to mention here from my side. Can't think of a moment where this tool actually disappointed me or fell short of expectations.

“smooth Lever Integration Workflow

Pros

Integration with Lever works really well and I find it pretty easy to navigate and use.

Cons

I don't have many complaints about this platform. Most of the bugs I've run into have been fixed with updates. The main thing that bothers me is how the format section at the bottom of templates sometimes covers up the last line, making it hard to see what I'm working on.
