Looks good and easy to create customised reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been working with Cornerstone Recruiting and, unfortunately, the experience has been disappointing.

While the platform looks modern at first glance, the actual usability is far from intuitive. Basic actions often require multiple clicks, and workflows feel unnecessarily complex and time-consuming. Instead of supporting recruiters in their daily work, the system often slows things down. Thats the system is slow, doesn't help either.

The learning curve is steep, and it feels like the tool was designed more with technical users in mind than recruiters. Even after extended use, navigation and logic remain unclear in many areas.

There are also clear limitations in flexibility. Customizing views is almost impossible; workflows, templates, ... is more restrictive than expected.

Overall, despite its visual appeal, the platform lacks efficiency, intuitiveness, and flexibility. In a market where speed and user experience are critical, this is a significant drawback.

It's one of the worst ATS I've been working with in whole my career; I would not recommend it to organizations looking for a user-friendly and efficient ATS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Manage Candidates page where recruiters can use filters to view candidates based off of location, interview stage and even application answers (ex: see all the candidates who replied yes to a certain skill) You can also set up application questions to knock out candidates based off of their response. But you can't customize the email those candidates get or delay that email by even a few minutes which is poor candidate experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't customize the rejection emails for candidates who get automatically rejected on a pre-screening filter, nor can you delay that email by even a few minutes which is poor candidate experience. Their career site capabilities are so limited and the interface for candidates is outdated. You can't build scorecards in the ATS so you can't gather feedback from interviewers within the system like other ATS'. Absolutely no Ai and no plans for it either which makes me believe their not following up with the industry advancements. Customer support is barely existant. New feature releases or enhancements barely happen. Reporting is basically exporting spreadsheets or raw data. ATS can't be used on Mobile devices. etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability it has provided for our institution to move our paper files and job postings online. Cornerstone Recruiting made it easier for applicants to apply and be considered. We used to have paper applications mailed to us constantly now, it is all online. It is easy to manage new hires and where they are within the process. Online onboarding is a huge bonus, and we all receive compliments on how simple it is to complete your onboarding before you even arrive for your first day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the forms are not exaclty like we would want them to be only due to the formatting limits. Otherwise we don't have many complaints about the Cornerstone Recruiting platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best for us is how easy to configure the selection process are. Also the way we can create our own job site using code to make it unique. We also love how easy it is to merge information from different job portals with Recruiting using API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Database search doesn't work when you are looking for technologies. Also, it's not possible to filter candidates based on the answers to the prescreening questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every part of the system is overly complex, cumbersome, inflexibile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you know the Cornerstone software well, then you should be able to easily figure out how to configure the Recruiting module. It has a lot of surprising options that you can enable. Frequent updates and enhancments.

Majority of new hires are happy with the process the system provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficulty managing re-hires. There is no solid solution for re-hires, which is causing a lot of manual work and duplicated records.

New features are still missing some of the old functionality, which is why we can't deploy those to users.

Having to recreate and reapply the job templates every time a change is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, it’s hard for me to say what I like most about Cornerstone recruiting as we have experienced continued issues with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
