A Smash with Recruiters!
Pros
- Candidate Engagement - with a click of a button, recruiters can send out recruitment marketing emails to many passive candidates, which has shown an increase in our response rate.
- Organization - Smashfly does a great job of visualizing the step-by-step process a candidate goes through during interviewing. It is great at keeping track and holding notes for specific applicants.
- Reporting - Smashfly gives managers an in-depth look at who's getting the must bang out of their buck. They can see who's getting responses and who's not, and from there, managers can adjust accordingly.
Cons
- Moving candidates through steps can seem very clunky. When I first started using the software, I was turned off because it seemed to be a little redundant.
Return on Investment
- From what I've heard, recruiters have noticed a big upswing in candidate response rate, which of course, leads to increased rates of hire.
- Some recruiters are reluctant to use smashfly because they think they're doing double effort.
