Recruitee Reviews

“Simple tool with live process view

Pros

It is a simple recruiting tool that's easy to set up. Plus it lets recruiters and hiring managers see a live, current view of the whole hiring process. I mean they can see every step from where applicants come from, through all stages, to the job offer and final signing.

Cons

The login process and how it looks on a mobile screen can be a bit confusing and cluttered when you are hiring for many different roles. And I think the design could be simpler and fit the screen better.

“Makes everything simple to organize

Pros

The tool makes everything simple such as easy to organize, even candidates. Plus it is simple to talk and work with the rest of the team.

Cons

In my opinion, the price is a bit higher than it needs to be.

“Layout and tools made job simpler

Pros

I really like the Recruitee layout and its wide range of hiring tools. This platform has made a recruiter's job so much simpler making the whole hiring process smooth. Plus we can share notes with the team and handle candidates much better. So highly suggested for small and medium-sized companies.

Cons

Overall it is a good tool but I have sometimes found the reporting section a bit restricted and setting up the hiring stages could be more flexible for complicated hiring processes.

“posting jobs is very easy with it

Pros

It makes posting and listing jobs very simple. It also lets you list openings on many different job sites. Plus the hiring team can work together during the process, sharing candidate profiles, notes and feedback.

Cons

I noticed the tool does not have very strong or detailed reporting features.

“it's easy to use

Pros

The thing I like most about Recruitee is that it's very easy to use.

Cons

One thing I like least about it is that it is a little slow at times.

“Extremely simple and easy

Pros

Recruitee software is extremely simple and easy to use.

Cons

For an employer with multiple locations and different business units, its missing a few configuration options.

“Clear ATS with high functionality

Pros

It has a very clear ATS with high functionality for streamlining the recruitment process with different people involved.

Cons

Often new updates and having to get used to them is not very easy.

“Team collaboration is a highlight

Pros

The team collaboration features are a real highlight. Plus comments, feedback and ratings can be shared directly on the platform making the whole recruitment process efficient and transparent. Although Recruitee is convincing in many areas, there is room for improvement in KPI evaluation and data tracking. But the existing functions cover the basics however could be more powerful with advanced metrics and more customizable reporting options. It would also be great if the platform would focus more on Artificial Intelligence.

Cons

Although it is doing well for many areas, there is room for improvement in evaluating KPIs and data tracking. Yes the existing functions cover the basics but could be more powerful with advanced metrics and more customizable reporting options. It would also be great if the platform would focus more on Artificial Intelligence.

“easy to use

Pros

It provides a clear overview and is easy to use especially the internal application function.

Cons

The program can do a lot but it can take a long time to figure out everything the system is capable of.

“Covers almost all recruiting workflow

Pros

Recruitee covers 90 to 95% of the recruiting workflow. Unlike many systems built by non-recruiters, they have either hired recruiters on their team or genuinely listened to user feedback.

Cons

Connections with some other software like LinkedIn Recruiter, took a long time to set up and still feel awkward. And if you want to change the job description, it does not properly update through the link.

“Only automated bots, no service

Pros

The free trial is excellent for getting a feel for it when you are just starting out.

Cons

After the trial ends, you will only be interacting with automated bots and won't get real customer service. So I'd recommend avoiding it for that reason!

“Very easy and welcoming for users

Pros

It is very easy to use as everything makes sense on its own and is welcoming for new users.

Cons

There are occasional minor bugs in the app like spelling mistakes and links that sometimes don't work when you tap them.

“Simple layout made process better

Pros

Recruitee's simple layout and effective applicant tracking made our hiring process run much better. Plus the way it connects to job sites and the tools for team collaboration were especially helpful.

Cons

I feel like a few of the more detailed reporting tools were a little difficult to figure out at first.

“able to get up and running quickly

Pros

We liked how simple it was to get Recruitee up and running. The webpage editor is also clear and easy to work with. Letting hiring managers handle candidates is neat and uncomplicated too.

Cons

It doesn't connect directly with Indeed, one of the biggest recruiting sites in the US. This makes it not very useful because we have to add jobs through Indeed and then manually link them back to the tool, wasting a huge amount of time. Also most of the helpful features for mid-sized businesses are only on the expensive Enterprise plan. Overall it is a bit annoying that 90% of their development seems to go only to Enterprise users.

“It is really easy to use

Pros

I'm impressed by the user-friendly platform, and the added convenience of being able to access it on my mobile devices is a definite plus.

Cons

It would be great to have the option to customize the font and color of the platform to align with our organization's branding.

“None, competitors do everything better

Pros

None as its competitors do everything better than Recruitee.

Cons

Its documentation is incomplete and the information in it is vague or incorrect.

“Entire hiring process in one tool

Pros

Having the entire hiring process in one central tool and the many customizable automations in our account save time.

Cons

The cost of it can increase as you need more features and additional users which can become very expensive for small companies. I also noticed that the initial learning curve is steep.

“Easy to use with helpful support

Pros

There is a lot to like, such as it is easy to use, very user-friendly, offers many connections to other software and has very helpful support team.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind right now that I dislike.

“Very helpful in managing interviews

Pros

It is very helpful in managing interviews and scheduling efficiently.

Cons

One thing I dislike is the incompatibility with iOS operating systems.

“Clear layout with great mobile app

Pros

The platform has pretty basic operations and a clear layout that's very easy to understand, with a great mobile app.

Cons

There is nothing here to complain about or criticize.

“Essential tool for our hiring

Pros

Recruitee has become an essential tool in our hiring, giving us a full picture of our candidates and automating many steps like sending emails. It also connects perfectly with Outlook and is very easy to use. We had nothing like it before. Plus its fully customizable pipeline lets us add every stage of our hiring process and the email templates make talking to candidates easy and uniform.

Cons

Like any software product, it can take a while to plan, test and release improvements or new tools but these updates are worth waiting for and customers are kept informed about the progress.

“Everything about it is simply best

Pros

Everything about Recruitee is simply the best. I also love the design and what it provides. Overall it is an excellent applicant tracking system, the best I have used up to now.

Cons

They still have not added the texting feature they talked about earlier.

“Costs grow exponentially which is a pain

Pros

The software has a pleasant design and CV/resume scraping functionality.

Cons

Annual subscriptions are set up to make costs rise substantially. I mean even a temporary increase in job ads raises your renewal amount. And cancellation must be done 1 month before the term ends. Everything is designed for costs to grow exponentially and bills can climb to tens of thousands of euros very fast.

“Very effective but limited API

Pros

It is very effective tool for managing recruitments.

Cons

Very limited API which affects the connection with the rest of our IT systems.

“Customer service does not respond

Pros

Well I really like the ability to post to multiple job boards.

Cons

Customer service does not respond and goes in circles. There is no manager to speak to. Also their Indeed sponsorship offer is misleading.

“I love recruitee so much

Pros

I love Recruitee so much that we chose not to use the hiring feature in our main HR platform. Some of our best people were hired through it. And now I am looking forward to the new updates and starting to hire again. They also have one of the best customer service teams, chat functions and feedback systems I have ever seen. Overall they have raised my expectations for customer support on any platform I use from now on.

Cons

There are occasional small bugs but they fix problems fairly, quickly and well. Any downsides are mostly about features that are already being worked on. Overall they are doing a really great job.

“Great choice for a smaller company

Pros

Recruitee offers a free trial which lets you test if the software is a good fit for your business. So I would say this is a great choice for a smaller company. The price is also very competitive. For our HR team, this tool worked really well as the interface is nice and quick and we never ran into any glitches or issues.

Cons

I have not used it enough to have a major complaint or anything as I cannot really think of anything!

“Connections make it simpler

Pros

The connections with email, notifications and the inbox make it simpler to track candidate progress and also to reply to their questions. The general layout and design of Recruitee are great too and the option to edit candidate info and status in bulk makes everything run more smoothly.

Cons

Perhaps a way to select several candidates at once from the job pipeline tab to change their status more easily. As the usual method has to be done in the candidates own tab. Also the lack of a filter by tags option in the job tab is a feature I miss in this program.

“Not flawless but fair price

Pros

It is not flawless but the price is quite fair. Our experiences with their Customer Service have been positive.

Cons

I feel like it could use more features, it is not as comprehensive or fully-featured as some other applicant tracking systems.

“convenient to use

Pros

You can learn it quickly and it is very convenient to use.

Cons

It is somewhat pricey when you compare it to other similar software options.

“Layout is very direct and clear

Pros

The tool's layout is very direct and clear. This is the third applicant tracking system I have used and I'd say it generally has most of the features you'd want. Plus it offers various reports for tracking hiring metrics, calendar sync for scheduling, email templates, automated replies, different access levels for interview panels, etc. Moreover their help site includes video tutorials which is great if you learn better by watching.

Cons

I noticed that it is occasionally missing some minor features or has restrictions on what's possible. A few examples are there is no way to stop administrators from seeing their own profiles, the method for hiding confidential info is not always the best and when you send a meeting invite via Microsoft Teams sync, you cannot rename the invitation within Teams.

“Very simple and perfect score

Pros

I like absolutely everything about the software. It is very simple to use, you can follow every candidate's progress, communicate with everyone involved in hiring and rate the candidates. I'd give it a perfect 10 out of 10.

Cons

Well I didn not use the software long enough to develop a strong dislike. However it could sometimes offer more options for customization.

“Consistently poor customer service

Pros

It has a mobile application and I like that it includes a pipeline feature to visualize candidate stages.

Cons

There is no coordination between the sales, service and accounts teams. Customer service is consistently poor. Management does not seem to care. They cut off service midway due to their own internal lack of coordination. Plus the salespeople promise one thing and the service team says another.

“Quite ineffective

Pros

As per me its user-friendliness and the design are the strong points.

Cons

The lack of job boards and the distribution is quite ineffective.

“pretty easy to figure out

Pros

Recruitee is quite easy to figure out and the team had no trouble getting started. The Kanban-style view of candidates is very handy too and we can adjust the stages to fit our own hiring steps.

Cons

Though the careers page works but it lacks some flexibility to make it look really good. For example, you cannot mark a job as remote or open in multiple cities. We have several offices and some roles are not tied to a specific location so we'd like to show it's open in many places. Instead we have to create duplicate listings which is very inconvenient, looks messy on the page and also prevents us from seeing all candidates for that role in one view.

“Helps make our process efficient

Pros

It helps us make our recruiting and onboarding process more efficient and it makes us stick to our rules and timelines which makes our whole approach feel much more professional.

Cons

Getting everything configured perfectly is a bit challenging and takes time but once it is set up, all the effort you put into the setup pays off quickly.

“good at finding skilled candidates

Pros

Recruitee helps us find skilled and trustworthy candidates for all kinds of roles. Also it is very simple to locate the best and most authentic profiles.

Cons

There is nothing like that as everything on this portal is very impressive, very good and has an easy to understand, simple to use interface.

“Hard to cancel subscription

Pros

Even though the software is good, they severely restrict what you can do and constantly try to get you to upgrade to more expensive plans almost every month.

Cons

When we tried to cancel our plan, they still charged us for an extra month, saying we did not cancel properly. I mean you have to go through several pages to cancel your subscription and even though it seems like you are done, you will probably still get billed. When we found this out a day later, they refused to give us a refund. So I'd advise against adding your credit card here.

“Can post to many job sites

Pros

I was searching for an applicant system that could post to many job sites at once. After what felt like months of looking and watching demos, I finally found and contacted Recruitee and I was impressed right away. I love that I can create a job and it easily connects to other job boards if I want it to. Or I can just use the free boards that it provides. I also love that I can keep notes, all messages and different details inside each job posting AND inside each candidates profile.

Cons

I do not have any complaints right now as the software is excellent.

“love the easy setup

Pros

The automation, how easy it is to set up, the reports and the overall interface are all the things I like about it.

Cons

It should prevent an interviewer from seeing other peoples evaluations until they have submitted their own. As this would help reduce bias.

“Everything about it is fantastic

Pros

Everything is fantastic. The public plan for new features, the ability to choose who sees comments, how simple it is to use and do actions in bulk. Plus the fact that you can customize almost anything and the customer support is good too. And of course, the careers site builder is super.

Cons

Finding my way around the settings area can sometimes feel a bit confusing.

“Designed with users in mind

Pros

Recruitee appears to have been designed with the people actually using it in mind. Because of that, it is very instinctive and needs almost no explanation for my team to understand.

Cons

The reporting tool is not a good fit for us because we are always hiring and we don't mark a job as closed after hiring someone. But this reporting feature is not very important to us at the moment so it is definitely not a reason to stop using it.

“Very pleasant at every level

Pros

The system is user-friendly. Anyone can use it. I must say a very pleasant at every level.

Cons

It is actively being developed. There is a solid foundation but in terms of extra features, there is more to gain. The team is fully focused on that! So I am sure it will all work out well.

“The best desktop and mobile app

Pros

Recruitee is a desktop and mobile app for both people looking for jobs and companies hiring which makes it the best. Plus the video interview feature in the app is excellent.

Cons

Occasionally links stop working and I am not sure why but overall I really like the app. So there are no major technical problems to mention.

“I likee how candidates are displayed

Pros

I like the way candidates are displayed and how they move through the hiring stages. Also it is very simple to operate and it is easy to tag managers to make sure everyone is informed.

Cons

The reporting could be improved and so could the connections with other software. I do not have a full recruiter account on LinkedIn so I cannot use Recruitee and LinkedIn together fully. The result of it is that a lot of information gets lost or has to be entered manually because the two systems do not communicate. As a result, my reports are not accurate if I forget to copy something from LinkedIn into it.

“Easy to use and very reliable

Pros

Recruitee software is easy to use and very reliable.

Cons

Haven't found anything yet that I am unhappy with so keep it up!
