    Cons
    Boon
    • Some recommendations and references have been erroneously detected as fraud, discarding them from the system.
    • Its interface can be very clean and navigable, but more knowledge is needed to understand all the functions that the program has.
    • Their technical support is very friendly and guides very well, but for software like this, they need much more support material.

    • Settings page can be difficult to navigate & find what you're looking for
    • Job approval chains would be better with additional qualifying fields so that we can segregate different areas of the business better
    • The ability to edit an existing offer template in-system would improve the experience, rather than having to edit offline and upload a whole new version.

    I've really enjoyed using SmartRecruiters, but these other ATSs that we've checked out offer better reporting features and price points. Over time, we may be transitioning off of SmartRecruiters to one of these ATSs because the price is a set price where SmartRecruiters has employee-based pricing model. Also, these other software products offer better reporting features that would eliminate some of our manual tracking process that we're currently doing.
