hackajob Reviews & Product Details

I love the ease of use of the hackajob platform, especially with the new Agentic AI tool called Archer that seamlessly integrates into the background, finding relevant candidates for all our roles and automatically submitting them into our ATS. The original product, where I actively source candidates as a recruiter, is also very easy to use. One of the best things is the personal touch from our account managers, Nico and Niall, who constantly make tweaks, give advice, and provide suggestions. They are super responsive and very helpful, which adds a lot of value. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy; it just involved a simple integration into our ATS. I can also log in and use it directly from my browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think some of the network hackajob has is a bit rudimentary in some non-tech business areas as they are only just expanding their reach into other areas, but this is changing. Also, communication skills can be a concern. Hackajob relies mostly on candidate profiles and CVs, and it would be great if they could evolve to include some sort of AI assessment or candidate discussion to truly gauge communication skills, particularly English, since it's important for our business.

I like the usability of hackajob. It is quite adaptable to the needs I have, which allows me to be as open or as narrow in my search as I want, especially when looking within tech and engineering fields. There are lots of different skills and experience backgrounds that I can search for. Additionally, I can match current live roles in my ATS and link them directly to hackajob. Hackajob uses pre-populated details from job descriptions to create a straightforward search with main skills and requirements, categorizing candidates against these criteria. Also, setting it up was very easy and linking roles to our ATS was really straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the quality of candidates is hard to really identify on paper. I've had to go through a lot more candidates on hackajob to find those that are high quality. For mid-level positions, hackajob is more ideal, but it could be improved for senior, hard-to-fill positions and for capturing the top 1 to 5% of candidate quality. I just don't think hackajob probably contains the top 1 to 5% of quality candidates out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about hackajob is the quality and relevance of the candidates it surfaces. The platform does a good job of matching us with engineers whose skills and experience align closely with the roles we’re hiring for, which saves a lot of time compared with traditional sourcing methods.

It also fits well into our existing recruiting workflow. The interface is straightforward and the candidate information is clear, which makes it easy for our team to quickly review profiles and engage with potential hires.

Another strong point is the candidate intent. Many of the engineers on hackajob are actively open to opportunities, which leads to more meaningful conversations and a better response rate compared with other platforms. Overall, it helps us connect with high-quality technical talent more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That they don't give it us for free (hehe) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like and always appreciate the engagement from the team, as they are always seeking ways to ensure they are able to deliver to our needs. I also like to think that we played some part in their own evolution.

It did become easier to use based on feedback, the support has always been really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a company, there isnt much to dislike. I would however like to have seen better more compelling results. We didnt like how much info we had to to put in during initial stages which resulted in less engagement from our team(s). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Hackajob's functionality really good and easy to use. I like the dashboard and the whole setup of the system, which is very simple to use. The AI function is fantastic. I also appreciate the Hackajob team, particularly the customer success managers, who are really helpful and available instantly if I ever need anything or need hints, tips, or extra advice to refine searches. The initial setup was incredibly easy, with a delivery call from the customer success managers, and I was able to use it the same afternoon that we onboarded the product.

N/A - only positives - nothing negative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how hackajob helps with my sourcing problems by providing pre-screened, quality candidates. I appreciate that the candidates already have a good sense for the role and our company, and they are usually technically proficient in the job skills needed. It's also great that hackajob has been integrated with our ATS, allowing candidates to apply directly. The initial setup was very easy, and everything has gone very smoothly since I started using it. It's been a huge help for our recruitment team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was nothing that came to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that hackajob allows me to create a free profile, set my preferences for job type, salary, and whether I want hybrid or remote work, and then simply wait for companies to reach out instead of constantly submitting applications. The platform’s interface is straightforward and easy to use, and when it functions as intended, the job matches are often relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the number of interview requests or matches may be limited, depending on your location or level of experience. I also find myself wishing for more frequent updates or notifications when new companies begin searching for candidates. Aside from these points, my overall experience has been positive.

I really like the usability of the hackajob platform; it's very slick and a pleasure to log in to. Archer has been great at providing inbound candidates, making it time-efficient for us when managing multiple requirements. The customer success and service are excellent, and initial setup was very smooth and timely. We also use it to interface with our ATS, which has been a good experience.

I think the branding and volume of candidates that the platform has currently got on its books. I think if that volume could be improved, it could then compete with the likes of more traditional job boards and LinkedIn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The focus and support from the CSM team is incredible. They really support you to make the most of the platform, their commitment and involvement to make the partnership a success is great!

Weekly calls, training, personalised data and analytics - anything you need to get the best hiring result.

We are working with Alex Crites, who has been instrumental in making the implementation a massive success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not think I have much to say in this section. What I can add which is not a con to me is that, the TA team needs to get involved and spend time on the platform. At times it can be hard to get the recruiters to prioritise the platform, but nothing you cannot overcome with training and making them accountable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Archer has been a refreshing update to the current offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is too much going on in the UI, and it's not a very intuitive flow to reach out to candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
