Archer from hackajob Reviews & Product Details

Hackajob is one of the best tools I’ve used, and it’s become one of my go-to platforms for sourcing tech roles. The platform is very easy to use, and the quality of candidates is great, without the noise you get on some other platforms. Archer makes the process even smoother, with relevant and available candidates dropping straight into our ATS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn’t much to dislike. That said, it would be great if we could use it for more of our roles outside the UK as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hackajob is one of the best tools we use for Tech recruitment. It makes sourcing candidates much slicker & easier. The candidates that it suggests us are typically bang on to what we are looking for, instead of having to scroll through 100's of candidates (like on other platforms) Hackajob gives us suitable candidates from the get go!

Overall the platform is great and I do not have any major issues with it. One of the only things is candidates salaries. I find they are much higher than what the candidate is looking for. This may be down to the candidates "trying their luck" however, the gap is too large at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 new AI tool Archer in hackajob, which has helped us automate applications and attract a higher volume of candidates for roles, effectively without additional effort. Archer is automated and suggests roles to relevant candidates, prompting them to apply if they're suited. We've already seen an influx of applications to our roles in London and India because of Archer. It has reduced the manual work from our side and completely automated the process, making it more time effective and efficient. Additionally, we have a really great account manager who always answers our questions promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No major complaints but a larger presence of senior data science candidates in the retail industry would be good to see in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
