Trakstar Hire Reviews

“All-in-one recruiting and onboarding

Pros

Finally, I can manage recruiting, hiring and onboarding all in one place!

Cons

Honestly the onboarding process has been really tough for me. To archive all of our past applicants, I ended up doing several separate uploads and that pushed our setup time out by weeks.

“Simple team collaboration and posting

Pros

Adding specific hiring team members to jobs makes it simple for managers and interviewers to see candidate info. I can create and post roles easily and pushing listings to multiple job sites takes just one click. Monitoring candidates and reviewing communication with HR is simple and I can use templates for interviews, offers, rejections and adjust stages to match our workflow.

Cons

For a very small company like mine that only hires a handful of roles each year, the pricing felt too steep and out of reach.

“Organized candidate pipeline

Pros

I never lose track of anything and I can keep every candidate's details organized while tailoring the hiring pipeline to our needs.

Cons

Only someone in an administrative role is able to edit the social footprint on a candidate's profile which I wish a recruitment manager could also do because otherwise everything about the product works perfectly for us.

“aligned resume processing

Pros

As HR Director I found this tool transformed how resumes are collected and processed. Integrating with our website gives me control and email communication is easy with reusable templates and automated notifications. The interface is clear and simple to navigate and I appreciate the helpful suggestions that improved our workflow. Customer support checks in regularly and I've seen my ideas implemented.

Cons

One feature I wish worked better is searching archived applicants. We've developed a workaround when we need to send a past candidate to a hiring manager but that process is clunky and far from simple. Also, there's no system-wide way to mark a candidate as ineligible for hire which would be useful for keeping everyone on the same page. Candidates who apply for several positions are grouped together but the system won't let you copy or share details between those linked applications, each occurrence needs to be updated separately and that becomes quite time-consuming.

“One-click job posting

Pros

When I post jobs across boards I love the one-click option to save time instead of doing each one separately.

Cons

Honestly I haven't found any real downsides. The interface is smooth and simple and the range of time-saving features it offers genuinely cuts down on administrative work and speeds up our hiring process.

“Tailored client workflows

Pros

Supporting clients' hiring is easier because I can tailor workflows to fit each company which I find extremely useful.

Cons

While I find certain parts of the navigation could be more simple I feel the team is heading in the right direction and making progress.

“Easy interview scheduling

Pros

How simple it is for me to schedule interviews, evaluate candidates, send emails and leave notes all in one system.

Cons

As a user I really enjoy this software. I would love to see a capability that allows me to flag a previously rejected candidate with prominent warning when they reapply so that if we previously passed on them for one reason or another it becomes immediately obvious in the applicant record and can't be missed. Additionally, it would be great to have a 'No longer with our company' status option with reasons like 'left on good terms' or 'terminated' or choices.

“Dashboard pulls data efficiently

Pros

I haven't found another tool like it. I like how it pulls data directly into the dashboard which is very helpful. I'd definitely recommend it for larger teams.

Cons

My only real issue is that customization options felt limited though given the breadth of built-in features, it hardly qualifies as a major dealbreaker for me.

“comprehensive recruiting control

Pros

The wide range of features helps me design and manage an efficient recruiting process and I enjoy the control it gives me.

Cons

In my opinion the visual interface felt a bit more modern and up-to-date.

“Smooth job posting and tracking

Pros

Posting jobs and tracking resumes feels very smooth and I like how quick and easy the system is to use.

Cons

Really can't find any faults with this software. I have nothing negative to report about my experience using it.
