Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Manatal is a cloud-based applicant tracking and recruitment platform for HR teams, recruiters, and staffing agencies. Users value it for its candidate management and collaboration features while reporting limitations draws criticism. It recently introduced custom referral forms for advanced career pages where HR teams can add, remove, and reorder fields based on their hiring requirements.

Our Verdict

Manatal is a strong fit for recruitment agencies and HR teams that handle sustained hiring activity. It is a budget-friendly option for smaller teams due to its low price compared to other ATS, though add-on credits can increase total costs. We recommend it for organizations that need scalable and practical ATS instead of resorting to specialized enterprise hiring options.

“Buggy features and unhelpful support”

Pros

I should have read reviews first so I don't make such a mistake. However the idea sounded great I mean for about $20 I can post my jobs to many job boards.

Cons

Well, I did not know how buggy and unreliable their platform actually is as core features often fail or don't behave as expected. When I reached out for help I felt like I was getting ignored. Plus support repeatedly told me to make changes or follow steps that were confusing and did not address the problem which left me frustrated and no closer to a solution.

“affordable and efficient for workflows”

Pros

It is pretty affordable considering what comes with it. The layout is also modern and easy to get the hang of. Overall it is really an efficient method for managing job listings and workflows. And I must say it's a great value for money and noticeably more functional than other tools we have used.

Cons

One thing that puzzles me is that the database is so large but does not present the most relevant matches. Also I had to follow up several times to get help and after we signed up the support team went quiet. I even noticed that integration options were fairly limited compared with what I expected.

“User-friendly with fair pricing”

Pros

Manatal is very user-friendly and easy to set up. Also its interface is tidy and uncluttered so the learning curve has beenvery little than with other ATS products I have used. Plus the LinkedIn sync and candidate enrichment tools are genuinely helpful for sourcing. Moreover team collaboration flows well thanks to notes and pipeline stages and overall the pricing feels very fair for the capabilities included.

Cons

The reporting and analytics are pretty basic compared with what you'd get from enterprise-level ATS solutions. Also I wish there were more flexible customization for workflows and dashboards. The mobile app does the job but it is not the best for heavy day to day use.
