HiringThing Reviews

Pros

The price is reasonable, and the staff offers quick communication, which is highly appreciated.

Cons

It would be beneficial to have more industry-specific job boards integrated into the software. For instance, since we hire nurses and allied health professionals, having job boards like Nurse.com or alliedhealth.com would be incredibly helpful.

Pros

Being able to search applicants by name is really handy, it automatically brings up all the submissions tied to that person which saves a lot of time during review.

Cons

One annoying part is the navigation: switching back and forth between the "multiple apps" view and the job post's applicants list can get a bit slow.

Pros

I really appreciate how this is integrated into our system. It's simple to access and we can move straight from hiring onto other things like getting people into our payroll system without a lot of extra steps.

Cons

Since I'm used to using Indeed a lot, the part I like the least is that it doesn't let me post directly to Indeed. The workaround is that I have to post on Indeed separately and then import the candidates back into HiringThing.

Pros

The best parts for me are how quickly I can organize applicants, how much time it saves and the caliber of people it helps me recruit. Running a small business means you end up juggling a ton of different responsibilities at once. If hiring eats up too much time, the rest of the business starts to suffer. Hiring used to be a constant headache for us until we switched to this. Since we only hire a couple people at a time, getting the right fit really matters. We genuinely love our current staff and our business has benefited a lot from finding them through this tool.

Cons

My experience with this tool has been entirely positive and I have no complaints.

Pros

It has been the most solid and user-friendly system I've used throughout my career. It's helped simplify our recruiting process and keeps everything we need right at our fingertips. Since communication happens inside the platform, our hiring teams can collaborate more effectively and focus on finding the right candidate for each role. We also tested other ATS options when we moved from one PEO to the next and we decided to keep it as a stand-alone tool because we haven't seen anything comparable. Overall, it's the kind of setup a hiring team needs to build strong candidate pools solid pipelines and better future teams.

Cons

There's nothing major to complain about though adding a text messaging option for communication would be a nice enhancement.

Pros

HiringThing really helps me stay focused on my actual work since it handles the whole recruiting process and all the messy details for me. I'm also able to connect with a much wider range of people without having to burn a ton of time or spend an outrageous amount.

Cons

If a candidate applies more than once or submits their information multiple times, it can get pretty confusing.

Pros

This keeps the whole hiring process simple and genuinely effective both new hires and hiring managers tend to be happier because the workflow just makes sense. It also took a bunch of the manual steps we were doing and simplified or automated them. The interface feels user friendly in the best way, with everything available right from your fingertips. On top of that their ATS (Applicant Tracking System) stands out. It clearly shows you exactly where each candidate is in the process so you're not guessing.

Cons

A couple things could be improved. When you're rating a new applicant, it can turn into a bit of a rabbit hole since once someone is defined as an "A Rated Applicant," you can't move them afterward. Also if the same candidate applies multiple times for different roles, it can be tricky to track what's what. It would help to have sorting options from the homepage too, right now only the most recent position ends up at the top of the list which makes it harder to scan everything quickly.

Pros

It has been spot-on for our company, using it feels simple, the software is flexible enough to match how we work and the tech support team has been fantastic whenever we needed help.

Cons

Honestly there's nothing negative to mention. We like everything about the software.

Pros

The best part of this software for me was how simple it felt to use. Getting it up and running for our company didn't take much effort and we were able to start using it right away. The included background check flow was also very simple and we could access it quickly without jumping through a bunch of steps. I especially appreciated how easy it was to set up interviews and get candidates moving through the process.

Cons

One downside is that the background check pricing feels a bit higher than what you can find elsewhere. It can also be tricky to track candidates who apply for other positions. Overall, I don't think it's the best fit for a large company with more complex recruiting needs.

Pros

Being able to post to multiple job boards with a single click has been a real time-saver for our hiring team. Instead of duplicating the same job description everywhere, we can get listings out faster and keep things moving.

Cons

Something to be aware of is that some job boards may charge extra if you want top placement so costs can creep up depending on how you choose to promote the posting. Still, overall it's a solid ATS and the workflow benefits outweigh that drawback.
