Hired

Avantages

Hired allows us to access top level technical talent across the nation. Passive technical candidates are hard to find and gain access to, Hired solves that problem. The platform is well designed and consistently improving. The quality of the candidates is high and most are responsive.

Inconvénients

Over the past year their have been more candidates on the platform which has slightly decreased the quality of candidates. They seem to be more lenient in accepting candidates to the platform.

Avantages

It's an efficient platform for searching job since it links the candidates directly with the top companies without the involvement of the third party.

Inconvénients

It has a skill assessment tool that helps the candidate to showcase their level of understanding in the particular skill or subject. Also it helps to connect the candidate directly with hiring managers.

Avantages

I have been using HIRED's platform for recruiting for 5+ years. I have been so impressed that I've introduced it to 4 companies I've joined and refer others frequently. It's fairly easy to use and efficient in terms of finding candidates. Their search function is fairly accurate and if I am concerned I am not getting the results I need it's easy to browse all candidates or expand your search. The support teams is amazing. One of the best I have ever worked with. They haven't outsourced it so no waiting around for issues to be resolved. They also take the time to go over my stats once per Qt. and I find them helpful in mapping to the data I've collected to make adjustments and improvements to my strategy and effectiveness.

Inconvénients

Over time, in the past year, the quality of the candidates has waned and I have been unable to hire anyone for the past 10 months. That's in contrast to hiring 2+ quality engineers per month a year and a half ago. I understand they have issues with candidate inventory but I am convinced they are going after the wrong candidates. The platform is loaded with candidates from large Enterprise , networking, retail, banking, etc. Companies. Sadly all non-web services engineers mostly working on and with outmoded technologies on enormous projects. They don't make it through initial screens and certainly not through any onsite interview. The candidate pool used to include a majority of engineers working on web services (consumer or otherwise). If you need engineers with current and relevant experience HIRED, at this time, may not be for you. Pricing packages are OK if you can hire.

As a final note, they have very little inventory for `Product Design' or "UX/UI' design candidates. Maybe 1-4 per week are new and local and then there are a ton of nonlocal candidates. They need to figure out how to source more and better design candidates. Also, half of the time you try to review a candidate's portfolio it's PW protected. HIRED must insist that portfolios are accesible. How can you hire a designer w/out looking at their work?

Avantages

It was easy to use and has lots of active candidates on the platform

Inconvénients

I wasn't sure if the candidates were serious talking to 1 company or to many. You were like doing blind dates.

Avantages

UI, candidate selection and ease of adding a job

Inconvénients

Not enough engineers with specific technologies and expectations of annual comp is HIGH

Avantages

It's easy to search for candidates, screen their CVs and send a message to them. The most difficult part is the message so I really like how you remember my last message I sent to a previous candidate.

Inconvénients

Because I integrate Hired with Workable, I get rather annoyed with all the emails from Hired which don't apply because I'm tracking the candidate in Workable and not Hired.

Avantages

Very user friendly, love the layout of the profile, candidate interests etc.

Inconvénients

Dont quite see the success in the amount of interviews it takes to get hires we would like. Also, being able to hone in on our particular bar based on previous performance would be cool.

Avantages

Easy to use and share with Hiring Managers. The UI is very nicely laid out and when ready to interview we can easily integrate with our ATS.

Inconvénients

sometimes can be hard to find candidates that fit a specific profile

Avantages

Ease of use, searchability, and quality of candidates. The candidate summary section is terrifc.

Inconvénients

it's fairly expensice for the number of candidates in the system.

Avantages

The functionality is extremely intuitive and easy to use. A great interface makes for a smooth experience.

Inconvénients

Sometimes candidate quality is low. Engineers are sometimes not as strong as needed.

Avantages

-Best part of this is the relevant and
Specific content related to jobs advertising for the people looking for jobs.

-I have used this earlier for job hunt and surprisingly it’s very good and immediately you will get messages /emails from recruiters all over Who are looking for candidates for your matching skillset
-Properly email communication and interview scheduling process with recruiters which gives transparency to candidate
- Salary/Role/location is clearly mentioned on all jobs mostly which is the best part I mostly liked it
-Timely alerts /popup notifications

Inconvénients

Only concern is about the interview schedule process which seems very fast and didn’t feel comfortable if we don’t have info included like if it will be remote / salary expectations.
So we should have something prerequisite before scheduling interviews with candidates for addressing there concerns

Avantages

It is a great source of active candidates.

Inconvénients

It is another place, in addition to LinkedIn, ATS, and email, where I need to communicate with candidates. Though it integrates with gmail and our ATS, it isn't seamless. Candidates expected Hired calendar invites (vs. how we typically schedule candidates in our regular process). I often have to double enter information.

Active candidates move quickly and Hired is very salary/offer focused. As a smaller, mission-driven company it can be difficult to gain the attention of candidates.

The search/filter functionality isn't great when looking through candidates, and I typically get shown the same candidates over and over again.

Avantages

The daily activity, showing you new candidates to review is greta. Knowing skills, experience and salary expectation is a big bonus.

Inconvénients

There could be more features around filtering and sorting candidates.

Avantages

One of the things that I appreciate the most about Hired,, is the high level of responsiveness. It's great to see that the individuals who are looking for new job opportunities through the platform are proactive and engaged, and it makes the hiring process much smoother and more efficient.

Inconvénients

Greenhouse and Hired have a poor integration which makes me waste time trying to merge duplicate profiles of candidatess.

Avantages

Hired provided a fast, efficient platform for us to engage, communicate and drive a pipeline of highly skilled and motivated engineers. Time and velocity is critical to recruiting in an ever more fragmented and competitive tech market, using hired has provided us with not only a direct channel to aligned talent, but provided insight and advice to maximize our efforts.

Inconvénients

As Hired starts to expand their UK offering, it will allow us to take advantage of the other major digital growth locations in the North. Currently the platform is London-centric

Avantages

Candidate are very responsive. Platform is transparent both for candidates and companies.

Inconvénients

Some candidates don't completely fill out their profiles. Some markets / jobs don't have sufficient candidate pipelines but that is to be expected.

Avantages

The UI/UX of the platform is great - it's simple, to the point, and very easy to follow. The quality of candidates is also top notch and it's helpful that there are Client Success Managers that help you every step of the way.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it becomes a bit of a bidding war between other companies on the platform, but not unlike real life bidding situations off of candidates from linkedin.

Avantages

The platform is easy to use and allows for more streamlined conversations with talented technical talent. The integration with our ATS system makes things efficient from our perspective.

Inconvénients

While the system is great to use, the feature that requires salary information to be transparent has caused inflation in salaries and a bidding war that is not warranted on actual experience. The platform is too expensive in general for what it is as well.

Avantages

I love the easy-to-use functionality of the software. The customer success is amazing as well... Our Account Manager and Customer Success reps are always there when we need them.

Inconvénients

I wish we could still find a number of different roles, rather than JUST technical-focused roles. We do a lot of sales hiring, but understand why this is no longer a functionality for the software.

Avantages

I've primarily been more on the hardware/firmware side of recruiting in the past and never utilized this tool as much. Switching to software in 2018, I've really changed my stance on the quality of the product. The visibility into candidates as well a MUCH better response rate vs. Linkedin makes this a must-have product for technical recruiting teams.

Inconvénients

The search functionaltiy could improve.

Avantages

I like we get high-quality candidates and the easy functionality of moving recs through the pipeline.

Inconvénients

Some of my harder to find recs have zero candidates.

Avantages

- Everyone on the site is actively looking for a new role. Passive candidates are weeded out
- Easy to filter candidates based on criteria / Dont need to rely on crafting the perfect boolean string
-

Inconvénients

- The GH harvest API / integration capabilities for interviews scheduled through the Hired platform is non existant
- Candidates sometimes dont include resumes, their most up to date resume, or have sparse profiles

Avantages

It is a fairly straight forward tool to use. User interface is good, user experience is straight forward

Inconvénients

Quality of candidates is not consistently high

Avantages

Ease of use, great ATS integration, I like the scheduling features

Inconvénients

Lacking some customizable options/notifcations. I dont like that I automaticallt get remote candidates since our business cannot accommodate them

Avantages

Ease of connecting with candidates and sharing communications internally. Candidates can easily reach out to companies they're interested in. Overall, high quantity and quality of candidates.

Inconvénients

Can be difficult to search for a specific candidate. Scheduling is difficult to change (has to go through Hired).
