User-friendly and affordable!

Pros

  • User friendly.
  • Job postings reach internet job boards at no additional costs.
  • Quick responses to issues/questions/concerns from end-users.

Cons

  • Pre-built reports.
  • Candidate profiles and ability for candidates to sign up for job alerts.
  • No longer a "stream" on the main dashboard to provide an overview of everything occurring in all jobs. Now, we are required to go into each individual job for that stream. This is a change from the old system.

Return on Investment

  • Expanded outreach and exposure to our job postings, increasing candidate pool.
  • Ability for hiring managers to better manager their recruitment process.
  • Expand communication with applicants.

Hyrell easily found the right candidates for the right job

Pros

  • Email communication: Hyrell makes it easy to effectively communicate with candidates, either one at a time or in bulk. Hyrell uses a concept of a general hiring manager to prevent your personal email box from being flooded. It does a good job of keeping the communications within the tool.
  • Interview scheduling: The ability to setup a calendar and have candidates pick their available times for an interview is a remarkable time saving feature. Since two candidates cannot pick the same slot, it avoids those embarrassing calls to ask to reschedule due to meeting conflicts.
  • Job board: The Hyrell job board was easy to setup and brand with a similar corporate identity.
  • Account management: Very professional customer onboarding approach. The initial training is strong as well as the ongoing learning opportunities. There is regular contact to ensure that you are getting the most out of the hiring platform.

Cons

  • The only real challenge was the sales process. It was very bumpy and made it difficult to initially select the product. Once we finally got our questions answered, the client did a trial. That went very well, so the bumpy sales process was forgiven. Although the pre-sales experience was not completely positive, the post-sales experience has been very strong.
  • The scheduling interview features has native support for in-person interviews and phone - different build-in templates. A nice feature to include would be to have a template for video, e.g. post a link to a video meeting room. Integration with the leading video/meeting solutions would be handy so you don't have to create the meeting link outside of the tool. It would be handy as we do a lot of video meetings (offer phone if the candidate cannot do video for some reason).
  • A bit of a nit, but one area lets you create stored custom views of candidate lists. This is great to see exactly what you want to see. The only problem that is once you create a custom view, you cannot delete it. You can rename it and even change what it does, but not delete it. Seems silly to be able to create a view, but not delete it. Very minor, but that could be improved.

Return on Investment

  • My client has found very strong candidates much quicker than ever before. This has provided the foundations for the desired business growth.
  • The quality of the candidates coming from this platform has energized the company. Recruiting can be a dull game for many managers, but with Hyrell they see it as opportunity to easily and quickly find the right candidate to help them achieve their goals.
  • It has provided much more confidence to the company that they will be able to find the resources they need to successfully grow while they implement their business plan. It has enabled projects and plans to move forward to ready the company for its mission.

Usability

Make your recruiting & hiring life easier - Use Hyrell!

Pros

  • Very accessible customer support - if I need help getting the posting the way I want it, they are there.
  • Regularly scheduled training seminars - if you want to learn more about the program and its features, sign up.
  • Responsive technical support - when I find glitches, they will work on it until they resolve it.

Cons

  • I find it difficult to scroll from one candidate to another in the order that I like.
  • I have found that the program works better with some web browsers than others.

Return on Investment

  • Better quality candidates
  • 90% Less time screening candidates and keeping up with applications
  • Good tools for communicating with candidates
  • Assessment testing is an added bonus

Usability

Very happy with Hyrell!!

Pros

  • Posting jobs quickly across multiple job boards
  • Gathering applications and allowing me to sort them based on multiple factors (job, location, stage of the process etc.)

Cons

  • The searching and sorting features sometimes run slowly. Sending an email or posting a note within an applicant file seems to lag a bit.
  • Applying from a mobile phone limits the user from completing the entire application.
  • It is hard to determine when someone has applied to a job posting at multiple locations. When you click on "see the other applications", it only shows a date, not the job or location applied to.

Return on Investment

  • Costs are greatly reduced! We pay a monthly fee far less than one single ad placed on Indeed alone.
  • We are getting a great deal more applications than we did before.
  • We have the ability to control the content of the ad, how long it is posted and when we can take it down once the position is filled.

Usability

Kudos to Hyrell!

Pros

  • Automatic position posting has increased our exposure drastically as an employer. We have increased our applicant flow by over 100%.
  • Hyrell's applicant communication features have allowed us to stay engaged with candidates during every step of the hiring process. It makes for a very professional first impression.
  • I love that Hyrell is user-friendly. The system is incredibly easy to use. We have a high number of users throughout nine locations with varying skill levels utilizing technical applications. All of our users seemed to catch on very quickly.

Cons

  • I would like to be able to transfer applicants from one location to another, or from one job to another.
  • Making reference email addresses required.

Return on Investment

  • Hyrell has dramatically decreased our days to hire by allowing us to source, vet and onboard applicants much quicker.
  • Hyrell has decreased our overall recruitment cost with their automatic position postings. Previous to Hyrell, each store was managing their own recruitment and buying their own ads. With Hyrell, we have been able to experience savings from economies of scale while dramatically increasing the quantity and quality of applicants.
  • Since we went live with Hyrell, we have been able to institute a background screening policy, allowing us to more thoroughly vet applicants who are applying for management roles.
