Recruitee Review: Is It the Right Recruiting Software for You?

An essential feature of applicant tracking systems is a career page editor. A good thing about Recruitee’s editor is its drag-and-drop functionality. Accessed via the CareersHub dashboard, there are customizable elements you can add and edit to spice up your career page. Its library has ready-to-use text, images, and videos. You can edit these elements or add your own such as a logo and product pictures. When you’re happy with your page, you simply click “Publish” and you’re good to go.

With the drag-and-drop function of the CareersHub section, you can easily come up with the look you want for your career site.

Recruitee helps post jobs to more than 1,250 job boards. Whether you plan to post on free job boards or paid ones, this tool has you covered. While this feature is typical of a recruiting program, Recruitee stands out by using artificial intelligence (AI) in determining relevant job boards for your vacancy listing.

You can access this feature by clicking on the “Acquisitions” tab on the left side of the dashboard and clicking “Campaigns” on the top. You then create a new campaign by choosing one of your current job listings. Fill out all the fields correctly since these details will help determine the best channels to promote your job listing. When complete, click continue.

Create a campaign to post to relevant job posting channels.

Recruitee recommends appropriate channels, but it’s still up to you if you want to post to these channels or not. If you have a specific channel in mind that’s not part of the recommended list, you can still find it in the list and add it to your campaign. You can save this campaign for later access.

Recruitee uses a Kanban board, which gives a visually pleasing and easy-to-understand candidate management experience. It helps to easily track candidates through each step of the pipeline, starting from the receipt of an application through when an offer is accepted. You can drag and drop the candidate’s name card to move it from one step of the workflow to the next.

Recruitee’s candidate pipeline allows easy visualization.

Finding employees for your business starts with creating a job listing, which is made simple with Recruitee. Just fill out all details about the job, including title, description, and location. Make sure to click on “Remote” if the job can be done remotely. Then, you can customize the application form for each listing. You can add screening questions, which you can specify as required or optional. You can require candidates to attach a CV and/or a cover letter, photo, and phone number. It’s also up to you to include a social media share button, apply with LinkedIn, apply with Indeed, or job location on the application form.

As you create a job listing, you’ll also decide on the workflow that’s appropriate for your organization. Recruitee has default workflow stages that you can use, which include the following:

• Sourced
• Applied
• Phone interview
• On-site interview
• Evaluation
• Offer
• Hired

You may customize by removing or adding stages depending on your requirements. It’s also simple to move around stages by dragging and dropping their boxes.

Under Recruitee’s Workflow settings, you can manage the disqualification reasons across all jobs. You can use the default reasons provided, add your own, or edit the existing ones.

With Recruitee, you may also customize the confirmation email that will be sent to applicants. While you can use the default email template, you can also change and apply it only for a specific job or make it your default email template for all jobs.

Click the dropdown to save as template and manage saved templates.

With Recruitee, you can add and edit the hiring team for each job, which is helpful if you want to involve different members for each role. You may also edit the access controls for each team member. For example, you can set a team member to manage candidates, which means they can move them between stages, add tags, or upload files. Others may view candidates but not move or delete them. The access controls are managed by the administrator, who has access to everything in the account.

You can create custom questions or use Recruitee’s default screening questions during the initial candidate application process or at any stage as required. With these questions, you can send applicants a test in your email with them, send screening questions instead of the standard confirmation email, or ask candidates for feedback regarding their interview experience to develop your hiring process.

You can also tailor interview questions as you see fit for each job. You can save these questions as a template for easy access later.

This feature lets you find promising candidates on various channels. To use this feature, you need to download the browser extension. As you find a promising candidate, Recruitee collects their information and allows you to add your notes about the candidate, which can be shared with your team. You may also add candidate tags to make them easily searchable. Once added to a job, the candidate’s profile will appear on the candidate pipeline. If the candidate’s email address is available, you can reach out and introduce yourself.

With the more expensive plans, Recruitee allows you to automate most of the hiring tasks. You can schedule emails and check team members’ availability to determine the best times to do interviews; you can also automate actions and triggers, which can be changed any time under the account settings. You must sync your calendars and connect meeting rooms to your Recruitee account to make scheduling interviews easier.

Recruitee’s mobile app lets you stay updated on the latest updates on your job listings by receiving notifications. You can track candidates and stay connected with the hiring team members. With your mobile phone, you can even review candidate applications and move them along the pipeline. Recruitee’s mobile app lets you switch to dark mode and help save battery life or minimize eye strain. Unfortunately, mobile user reviews mostly pointed to the app being buggy.

Switch to Recruitee’s dark mode any time.

Recruitee lets you integrate your account with your existing external applications. It can integrate into your onboarding, HRIS, job advertising, talent sourcing, assessments, background checks, productivity and communication, and e-signature tools, among others.
