Hireology Reviews

“Centralized job and candidate management

Pros

Job postings, applicant tracking and candidate communication are all centralized in one place. Managing everything from a single dashboard is so convenient.... it keeps me organized and saves me from constantly switching between tools.

Cons

At first I struggled to get the hang of it but after spending some time using it everything became much easier.

“Great ATS!

Pros

Hireology is excellent for streamlined hiring of a few positions. I appreciate the tagging feature, which allows me to pull previous applicants into a pool for future outreach. The analytics provided are also fantastic!

Cons

It would be beneficial if they could introduce more features to facilitate the hiring process and make the platform more user-friendly.

“easy reference checks and onboarding

Pros

Hiring previously interviewed candidates is easy and I find SkillSurvey reference checks and electronic onboarding paperwork make the workflow simple and accessible.

Cons

One of my main frustrations with this platform is that I can't send a direct link to a candidate's email so they can complete their qualification or onboarding forms. Sometimes applicants mistype or lose access to the email address on file. We really need a smoother, more efficient way to re-send or forward those links to them.

“Easy multi-board job postings

Pros

Posting a single job ad and distributing it across multiple boards is very easy and I find the process saves time and effort.

Cons

Unfortunately we can't post a blind ad which means we have to pay extra fees to publish the listing directly on Indeed.

“simple candidate search with support

Pros

Searching for candidates is simple and I find the support team extremely friendly and helpful.

Cons

To be honest there's not much negative. I just feel we need to attract more candidates and applicants somehow.

“Fantastic single-spot candidate management

Pros

For me this platform is fantastic because it lets me view every applicant and all job listings in a single spot making it easy to manage candidates for hiring.

Cons

I find it hard to search for applicants when I don't know which job posting they applied to.

“User-friendly daily reporting

Pros

The platform feels very user-friendly and I find the daily reports absolutely fantastic.

Cons

For me there's nothing to complain about. I enjoy how the results are delivered.

“clear applicant information display

Pros

Displaying each applicant's complete information is clear and I really appreciate that it accurately shows how they scored on follow-up questionnaires.

Cons

Since I don't use all of the program's features I can't really point to anything I dislike or consider my least favorite part of the software.

“indispensable NetChex integration

Pros

NetChex integration has been indispensable and I find onboarding a smooth, hassle-free experience because of it.

Cons

Whenever I can't access applicant data, it's almost always because managers forgot to clear the job data.

“easy navigation for hires

Pros

Navigation is easy and I appreciate how simple it is for incoming hires to get started.

Cons

Nothing as the product is helpful and easy.

“Checklist guides onboarding progress

Pros

The checklist feature helps me see exactly where I am in the onboarding journey and I find the tagging idea intriguing, even though it's still early to judge its full impact.

Cons

To me the onboarding feels like it would benefit from being laid out in clear, sequential steps rather than relying on figuring out which button or function to use at any given moment. Also, attaching files to a comment rather than placing them in an Applicant folder strikes me as unusual and somewhat confusing.

“Easy prospect communication

Pros

Using this product is extremely easy and I find it a great way to connect and communicate with prospects directly.

Cons

At first, a few steps felt a bit difficult when I was using a different payroll system but after I figured things out it actually works pretty well.

“simple interview stage management

Pros

Moving applicants through interview stages is easy and I find the onboarding workflow uncomplicated while letting me update candidate profiles and track each step efficiently.

Cons

Because we integrated this tool with our scheduling system, I've found it frustrating that it ends up creating duplicate candidate profiles whenever people apply to more than one role, or when they are transferred between departments or positions.

“efficient candidate sorting

Pros

Sorting through applicants is simple and I appreciate being able to put chosen candidates onto a separate list.

Cons

There's nothing missing, the product adequately meets our needs

“easy job listing feedback

Pros

Posting job listings is very easy and I find the feedback from other searches quite useful.

Cons

Finding the option to turn off job postings was somewhat tricky for me to locate.

“User-friendly dashboard and features

Pros

This tool is really user-friendly. I appreciate the dashboard and how simple it is to locate what I need. I've begun using their drug-testing option for new hires and so far I'm pleased with it.

Cons

When it comes to drug testing, I'd prefer a step-by-step walkthrough. Right now I only see that the applicant completed their information and then I receive the final results.

“centralized candidate details

Pros

Using it is easy, everything's centralized and it keeps all my candidates' details and documents organized.

Cons

From my experience I've seen the system alter the pay rate on a job ad and fail to syndicate the listing to LinkedIn or Indeed which left me with no applicants at all and I notice this problem comes up frequently.

“Fast alerts with background checks

Pros

It's fast and easy and I really like the alerts plus the preliminary background checks.

Cons

When searching through candidates I struggle to clearly identify their job functions which slows me down.

“Limited candidate availability

Pros

The sales presentation was smooth and polished...it almost seemed too good to be true to me...... which it was

Cons

At several points we received very few candidates and I found that those who were put forward didn't meet our basic criteria such as being available to work in our location.

“precise job posting and filtering

Pros

This tool is super simple to work with whenever I need to post job openings and it offers a wide range of features that let me filter applicants so precisely. I really appreciate being able to narrow the candidate pool down because it gives me confidence that the right job seekers are actually coming through our doors!

Cons

One small issue I have is that whenever I select a candidate, the platform forces me to choose between two fixed categories, it's not a deal breaker for me but it does feel restrictive.

“Simplified hiring workflow and sourcing

Pros

Using this tool we were able to simplify our entire hiring workflow. What stood out to me was how the platform pulled in candidate applications from multiple sources because it's tied into Indeed and Glassdoor, we ended up with a much fuller candidate pool. It also filters applicants from more than ten job search sites which made sourcing far more comprehensive than we expected. I found the appointment scheduling feature particularly useful although those meetings can't be held inside the platform, being able to book time with candidates directly helped us organize and conduct interviews properly. The job ad creation tools were another plus: I can toggle ads on and off whenever I'm looking for fresh candidates and I appreciate being able to search for prospects without needing to publish a brand new listing every time. Overall, these capabilities helped our team keep hiring organized and efficient.

Cons

At the moment the lack of online interview functionality affects my workflow especially since I know many candidates prefer remote interviews and I also find the weak geographic filtering frustrating because it doesn't prioritize candidates near my business location.

“laggy interface with limited integration

Pros

For me it made keeping track of candidates far more organized and it can connect with several job boards. The candidate profiles were neatly structured which made reviewing resumes a lot easier than digging through email attachments.

Cons

While moving between individual profiles and the main candidate list, I found the interface laggy and I was disappointed that it doesn't integrate with Indeed which I personally rely on the most.

“Simple setup with HRIS connection

Pros

It was really simple for us to set up and I found it easy to use and tweak to fit our business needs. Also, it hooked into our HRIS (Paylocity) which I appreciated!

Cons

When my company is hiring across multiple locations and roles, I find it difficult to locate applicants because the search functionality doesn't work as smoothly as I need it to.

“frustrating support experience

Pros

What I like is that it connects with other sites and includes a direct link to my website

Cons

Overall the platform felt hard for me to use and my experience with customer support was frustrating, as I felt almost completely unsupported.

“Cutting-edge candidate sourcing

Pros

I've been using this platform for several years, it felt like cutting-edge technology and on multiple occasions it surfaced strong candidates I ended up hiring.

Cons

After they grew and became successful their outreach processes changed, I no longer have the dedicated consultant who knew our automotive hiring nuances and now I either get paired with someone unfamiliar with dealership needs or am left having to muddle through posting and writing an ad myself which takes extra time and feels inefficient compared to the old, personalized service I relied on.

“simple single-spot interface

Pros

I love how convenient the interface is. It genuinely simplifies hiring by keeping everything organized in one single spot.

Cons

For our company I don't think any improvements are necessary as this software met every need we had and exceeded our expectations.

“Simplified hiring workflow

Pros

For my team this tool really simplifies the whole application and hiring workflow. We hire 6-20 people each week so we rely on application and hiring platforms that match our needs and reduce admin work for us. What I love most is that I can embed the interview questions directly into the workflow which helps me keep every step, document and question congreatated in a single place.

Cons

The only downside I'd mention is that the tool is packed with features which honestly is also a benefit. I'm constantly discovering new capabilities and ways to use it so there's a learning curve and I'm always picking up more options and tricks that make it more powerful for our needs.

“easy navigation and feedback

Pros

Using the tool, I found it really easy and easy to navigate. I particularly liked that we could leave comments, track every step in the hiring workflow and view the feedback it gave us.

Cons

What bothered me was having to navigate through multiple pages just to reach the specific screen I needed every time.

“Smooth question handling

Pros

Haven't run into any real problems, I like that it makes good use of most of the questions and works smoothly.

Cons

Sometimes I notice that the questions aren't always relevant and its knowledge doesn't always reach the level I'm expecting.

“Easy-to-use admin portal

Pros

I find it really easy to use. The admin portal is great and convenient. Getting started was fast and easy.

Cons

From my perspective, it doesn't produce enough results to justify the price I'm paying.

“easy job posting

Pros

Posting a job here is really easy and I always get plenty of applicants.

Cons

I've noticed it can get a bit confusing when I'm trying to add notes for my contacts on each applicant since there are often too many different places to click.

“Delivers exactly as promised

Pros

It is really easy to use and for me it delivers exactly what it promises.

Cons

Honestly I have no complaints about this product, it performs just as advertised.

“automatic applicant import

Pros

I like that it automatically imports every applicant directly into our system.

Cons

At this point I don't have any complaints about the system we're using.

“Usability friction and slow workflow

Pros

For a small team this applicant tracking tool feels simple to work with. I find it easy to create job postings and then go through candidates inside the system. Posting positions and reviewing applicants is quick and hassle-free overall.

Cons

I do run into a number of usability friction points that make routine tasks take longer than they should. The interface isn't consistently convenient and when our account includes multiple locations I have to configure things so each site is separate which means I can't get a congreatated view of all open roles for the whole organization. Instead I have to click into each location or sub-organization one by one to see which new applicants have applied. Another frustrating detail is that when I manually upload a candidate I've sourced, the system doesn't extract or auto-fill their resume data so I end up inputting details by hand. It's overall not hard to use but these missing integrations create extra steps and slow our workflow down.

“Easy navigation through screens

Pros

It is really easy to navigate through the screens. I like this tool!!

Cons

Honestly applicants can rush through the screens far too easily which worries me.

“all-in-one hiring platform

Pros

For all my hiring needs, this serves as an all-in-one platform so I don't have to handle or switch between several different software tools.

Cons

It's pricier than choosing individual services so I end up paying more than I would if I picked tools separately.

“Quick feedback across departments

Pros

I really like the quick feedback and how easy it is for every department to use.

Cons

Lately I've noticed several of the apps don't respond promptly and that can disrupt my workflow.

“Easy navigation with strong features

Pros

Once I'm logged in the platform is really easy to navigate. It comes with plenty of features that help me assess whether a candidate is genuinely serious.

Cons

The texting tool is a bit tough.. I can't easily return to the conversation from the email notification it sends when a candidate responds which makes following up awkward.

“easy candidate screening

Pros

Using this app makes screening candidates easy. The site is easy to use and I can rapidly and easily add applicants into a candidates list or dismiss them.

Cons

I'm not receiving many applications. Maybe it's due to COVID or perhaps because of keywords but I really don't know.
