Recent updates in Cornerstone has made candidate profiles look visibly appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Recruiting? Honestly, I do not know where to begin. It is not user friendly. We recruit for multiple public schools and therefore we have external staff review candidates on Cornerstone but it is complex and not simple to use that many of our principals refuse to use it. There are times when automated emails get sent to our candidates even though that is not a feature we selected. Sometimes the drop down menu does not show and therefore we cannot access our candidates. Once you create an application and it is live, you cannot make minor changes, you need to create a new one. Cornerstone just creates unnecessary manual steps for us. Honestly, the list goes on... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Recruiting solving and how is that benefiting you? We primarily use it as an ATS and performance management across our organization.
