hireEZ is a platform powered by Agentic AI, built to help teams source, engage, and hire with precision. From CRM to analytics, internal mobility to ATS integration, every workflow is driven by intelligence. hireEZ features include: AI Sourcing - This feature is used to discover and engage talent across the open web, ATS, and Source Hub. Applicant Match - Instantly matches and ranks applicants with open roles as they apply, helping users to more quickly surface the most…
Our company uses hireEZ and LinkedIn Recruiter as well, but Handshake Talent Engagement Suite makes the most sense for our University Relations team due to the focus on college students and recent grads. hireEZ is the opposite and isn't very effective at targeting college …
Compared to bulk messaging students who are listed as 'matches' on the job listing page, the segments & campaigns I created were so helpful in identifying leads & helping to convert those leads to applicants without me having to continually follow-up with students (thank you- follow-up email feature!) For roles that require a lot of applicant flow, or for positions that require a large cohort of hires at one time, these features are perfect.
I speak highly of hireEZ internally. I believe their are use cases for both hireEZ and LinkedIn and whatever other sites are used in recruiting. hireEZ is well suited when you want to reach out to candidates with contact information after maybe seeing they have not responded to most LinkedIn messages. We have also had a bit of success in going back to old reqs that we can search through hireEZ in a seamless way and reach out to those candidates.
Talent sourcing aggregate (known by Hiretual as AI Sourcing).
Custom insights based on search criteria.
Contact information & social link retrieval.
Applicant Tracking System Integration -- At OnPoint we use Lever as our ATS. Hiretual allows us to export candidate data directly into our ATS and associate said candidates to a specific requisition, & in a specific stage.
I have come across many duplicate profiles that could cause me to contact the same person twice in a short period.
Doesn’t have an “undo” button for if I accidentally mark a candidate as “not a good fit”
Their “variables” used in creating email templates don’t function optimally. If you use “candidate last name”, and the person has a title, it will use the title instead of name. For example… I sent an email to a doctor and it sent as “Dr. MD”. Not ideal.
The benefits of a larger universe of candidates and automating recognition of talent we cannot hire, hireEZ has been a big time saver just as a sourcing tool
I am a user of three years and have seen the features grow over time. I love how responsive the team is when there is an issue and their willingness to work towards a feature request is unmatched. I also find the accuracy of the data is comparable if not better than most competitors
Becca always responds very quickly to my questions. We had an issue where I couldn't register for a fair because another division of my company had already registered and this problem was fixed the next day. I feel like the team at Handshake Talent Engagement Suite actually cares about my experience. Not all companies do once the contract is signed! They definitely treat their customers well. I literally feel like I am their only customer.
The support team is proactive with information, sharing changes or new features, conducting training, etc. It is not a pull scenario, as with other vendors, where I have to ask for what is going on. Instead, the hireEZ team is reaching out to us to follow up, provide information, etc. I love their proactiveness and desire for us to use the tool to its full potential!
I think Handshake is similar to Linkedin Recruiter in a lot of ways. The main differentiator for me/our company is who we are trying to reach or target. LinkedIn is not an easy platform to find early careers talent on, so Handshake has been the best way for us to connect with schools, register for events easily, advertise to college students and reach them where they are!
Entelo is probably the closest competitor that stacks up against Hiretual head to head in my opinion, but the differentiator for us has been the relationship and the flexibility that the vendor provides us on top of the fact that the product itself continues to perform incredibly well as it continues to evolve along with my organization's needs. To have a seat at the table to offer up opinions or advice on how to improve the product over time is invaluable. Additionally, the AI-powered version of Hiretual is much more powerful than Entelo's product.
Summer internship recruiting for hard to fill roles has grown to be much easier. Without Handshake Talent Engagement Suite, we would be left scrambling to specific school job boards.
Hosting a simple one-hour informative event and reaching a large audience has helped with brand awareness. We don't necessarily see immediate obvious results but have been content with our ability to connect with underclassmen, getting them excited to apply for internships in a year or two.
Creating a talent segment and sending campaign messages is much more efficient and effective than reaching out to individual candidates with cold calls/emails.
