How are you finding Smart Recruiters?

So far I really like it.
- takes some admin work bc every employee needs to be registered and access set up
- we moved our pre employment screening to them with AssureHire and it's actually about 50% less per search than our previous vendor, plus AssureHire handles all the adverse notices rules which is great bc we're multi state
- it's been a wonderful platform for my hiring managers - it's easy to use and very transparent to see what has been covered for each candidate and by who. Our hiring teams have usually 2-3 people each so before there was a lot of massive email chains going back and forth.
- integrate with LinkedIn via a direct apply link works beautifully
- our site traffic is still really poor (we're still double listing on other job boards and either asking those leads to apply or manually migrating them into the system, this accounts for about 80% of our candidates in the system right now)
- because we're using it soup to nuts the metrics about our hiring process have been really constructive
I wish that their career site options were better. They just took over Attracx (sp?) But it's an additional add on.
I also really wish they integrated with SparkHire and with Adobe Sign, we're still sending offers outside the platform bc they only partner with DocuSign and we didn't want to switch.
We went to SR from Oracle, and to Oracle from Talent Pool Builder. It's better than Oracle in every way that we need it to be but TPB had better jobs distribution.
Some content ideas: Post about benefits/perks, work culture, employee testimonials, any awards the company has won.
