"Poorly targeted recruiting"

2.5/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

I've not ever actually used them, because their recruiting is so off the mark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

I have to say that the recruitment emails I've seen from FlashRecruit are all over the map. I mean, one individual was recruited for "Shift Lead at a Restaurant" and "Ab Initio Developer" and "Digital Product Strategist" and "Product Support Lead".

I would have to say I have little faith in the ability of a recruiter who can't target candidates any better than that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FlashRecruit- A Review"

3.5/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

FlashRecruit makes it very easy to connect with potential candidates, all without having to schedule out emails/phone calls, etc. You can get the info you need instantly, which ultimately speeds up the hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

The candidates who use the chat feature are often not suitable for many of the roles they respond to. Flashrecruit's internal algorithm doesn't do the best job of sorting through viable candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashRecruit:

If your firm has many jobs to fill, FlashRecruit can be an excellent tool for acquiring new talent. However, for smaller size firms, those with only a few jobs, the candidate pool is not as rich or suitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlashRecruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most importantly, FlashRecruit saves a ton of time having to connect a potential candidate. Also, with each chat alert, is another opportunity to build a growing candidate database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Way of Connecting Quickly"

5/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

The best part is the quick turn around. You put your chat link out there on the internet and within hours you have instant connections with viable associates. It is also nice because you can track your candidates by classifying them when you end the chat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

I wish there was an app to chat with the applicants. it would be nice to be able to connect with applicants that work the 9-5 who aren't able to get away during the day to contact a recruiter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashRecruit:

Give it time to work and make sure to get your chat links out there in every place possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlashRecruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are reaching out to associates that we wouldn't have been able to connect with. We are providing the next generation with the instant feedback and next level technology they so much crave Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Tool for Recruiters!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

I love that our candidates are able to connect with a real person instantly. It's really helpful for our candidates to ask us real-time questions and for our recruiting team to be in contact when it matters the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

What I dislike doesn't have to do with the tool, but rather the attention span of the some of people that chat us. It's not often, but sometimes, someone will want to chat and if we're not available right then, they're gone. The great thing with the tool though is that it will give us their email and phone number so we can call them to answer their question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashRecruit:

If you use it, which I recommend, put the chat link on as many things as you can so that people from all over can have access to the information and connection the seek. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlashRecruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're solving the problem of correct and relevant information to those who need it in an easy and convenient way for them to receive it. Not only that but I think it adds to our culture of transparency and accessability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tool for Recruiters looking to improve their business!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

I have been using FlashRecruit for a couple months now and seeing great results! I have even found and placed candidates from use of this tool. It is very helpful in the sourcing processing as well as screening candidates. It adds an additional touch to my business that other companies don't have. Candidates can interact with me anytime and on a simple way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

I wish there was a way to alert me when the candidate responds to me rather than just the initial notification of the conversation. As I do tend to work on other things while chatting, I do miss responding in a timely manner since I don't realize they have typed their response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashRecruit:

Make sure that you put the link on every posting, every social media post anywhere you can. It will help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlashRecruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps screening process tremendously, allowing candidates to ask you questions about the position as well as you to ask them qualifying questions. It also allows candidates who don't want to put their resume on the internet to contact a recruiter about a position with out letting fearing that their resume will be found by their current company.

"Traction in Hard Markets!"

4/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

I am able to get candidates in tougher markets. Some of them are ok but there are a lot that are great! I love that FlashRecruit helps me cover all my basis when searching for candidates! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

There are a lot of unqualified candidates coming through but that is to be expected; the great thing is that you can mark each chat and go back to see if any of the candidates might be a good fit for future roles! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashRecruit:

I would recommend to post up jobs with all the required skills needed for the role. That way you are more likely to get talent that is qualified for the role at hand or future roles that are similar. I also recommend to keep a general inquiry chat open for candidates who want to chat about their options! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlashRecruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I definitely like that my link allows people that aren't searchable (on LinkedIn on our system) to reach out. The talent that has been reaching out so far has been new to our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome tool for candidates to get in touch with us on the fly!"

4/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

I love that our team can share a profile and view candidates, as well as collect their email information. If we miss someone on the chat (aka they chat us at 10PM on a Saturday night) we have their email on hand to get back to them quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

Nothing to truly dislike. Really enjoy that it sends us screen pop-ups, email notifications and notifications for someone else who claimed ownership of the candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Experience with the new softwear"

5/5

What do you like best about FlashRecruit?

It was great being able to chat in real time with potential candidates. I allowed me to answer quick questions and set up appointments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FlashRecruit?

Flash Recruit's new software cleared up any concerns that I had previously Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FlashRecruit:

Give this software a trial run, as we found out, you will find it to be a useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FlashRecruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since so much is done through email and on-line applications, the reality is that candidates enjoy being able to chat using this type of application rather than call. I believe this opens up more opportunities to increase our candidate pools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
