"Great tool for Technical Recruitment"
What do you like best about hackajob?

The tool is very straightforward to use in general. But it's a plus to work closely with the Account managers who aid in a seamless process with candidates! The response rate from candidates is also very strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

No significant complaints; however, I wish the layouts were a little easier to read/organize. Not just the overall dashboard but also when communicating with candidates and keeping track of messages/scheduling/tracking stages, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform, takes away some of the leg work!"
What do you like best about hackajob?

I like the way that the platform generates matches, the algorythms generally work really well and produce very valid matches, without me having to spend time trawling through CV's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

In my experience, I find that it would be better if there was a progress stage, that we, as recruiters, can set, to say that the candidate has passed screening call and is now at hiring manager interview stage. Currently, candidates sit at stage one completed and in limbo, until I have feedback forom HM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Sourcing Platform!"
What do you like best about hackajob?

The best thing about Hackajob is clearly it's talent pool. Sourcing top quality people has actually never been easier. Not to mention it has a great user interface, and the platform is simplictic and very easy to use. That coupled with a great customer account team on hand to help!

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Would be great if we could export candidate data on excel sheets! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Must-Have Platform!"
What do you like best about hackajob?

What I like the most about Hackajob is that it does an excellent job in matching highly relevant candidates at a rapid pace to each job post we share on the platform.

As a recruiter, this allows us to work with greater efficiency and hit our goals, as well as provide a better overall experience for each candidate we work with. This is thanks to the superb support given by the Hackajob Team, through weekly check-ins and scheduling support. Overall, the end-to-end process delivered by Hackajob is seemless and I have already welcomed some fantastic talent into our business thanks to the platform.

I would like to mention Taylor, who has been outstanding in helping us reach our recruitment goals! She is extremely dedicated to each team she works with and is always there to support you; thanks, Taylor! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Nothing! The platform is easy to use and all the supporting staff are very approachable! Mostly all search adjustments and interview requests can be handled individually within the platform, so it is really simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"❤️ hackajob ❤️"
What do you like best about hackajob?

I initially encountered hackajob when searching for a different sourcing platform. The first result said 'hackajob is so much better', which caught my attention.

For context, I'm a sole TA in a high-growth software development company of c.120. Like many others, we struggled to recruit developers, relying on agencies, network and LinkedIn approaches.

Enter HJ..... game changer! We have a very niche requirement, but we've met so many high calibre, diverse candidates via the platform and made an exceptional hire in week 3 of the 4 week free trial. I'm sure in there's many more to come - we had another candidate accept an offer about 15 minutes ago 🤩

Of course I have to shout out Jazmin and Hamish - thank you SO much for all of your help, you've both been amazing. ⭐

TL;DR - I could not recommend hackajob enough!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

I have to write something - I dislike no more weekly calls now the trial is over ☹️ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hackajob - a revolutionary sourcing tool for Tech!"
What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob has had a significant impact on hiring some of the top tech candidates in the UK market. It has provided us with a broad and diverse talent pool to help us source and match candidates across the tech platform. It has helped us identify niche skillsets and candidates that aren't active in the job market. One of the top things about the tool is the candidate engagement and response rate, where it effectively converts your job requirements into a candidate pipeline. There is also a brilliant human-centric approach whereby you get very quick responses from their customer success team (Jaz being one!). Having Jaz as a our dedicated customer success manager has been seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

I'm aware that some organisations have ATS' that can be integrated with Hackajob which is a massive advantage. For those who don't have the right ATS, it can be quite a manual and transactional activity managing candidate pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hackajob Source - Simple, Easy and Efficient!"
What do you like best about hackajob?

The Source product suite has a simple layout and is easy to use on a regular basis. You can add roles then specify the skills, location and other details required to find more relevant matches To get the most out of the Hackajob Source function, each morning I login and work my way through the matches provided and there are always new matches. If the matches are not quite right then I am able to adjust the skill sets or reach out to our Account Manager to take a look. Taylor and the Hackajob team are great at playing around with various aspects of the job advert to make sure we are getting the right matches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Matches sometimes struggle to see our messages, company page or job descriptions. Usually talk candidates through how to find and notify Hackajob of such candidates who may need additional support with platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use. Fantastic results. What more do you need?"
What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob has been our go-to platform to find good quality candidates across various disciplines – from software engineering and quality assurance to cyber security and data.

It’s a very easy platform to use, taking away a lot of the pain of reaching out to candidates and, more importantly, getting a response in such a competitive market.

The interview functionality – asking candidates to propose times that work for them and then syncing with your calendar - is another timesaver. It allows me to focus my time where I can add the most value.

The support we’ve had from Taylor, our Customer Success Manager, has been fantastic. She always ensures we get the most out of the platform and has been absolutely essential in making sure we’re always set up for success

In the last three months alone, we’ve hired multiple senior software engineers, talent that we would have previously struggled to identify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Not really a 'dislike', but it would be an even better platform if we were able to integrate it with our ATS. There are some systems that can be integrated so hopefully, they'll add more to that list Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Talent Manager"
What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob is a great tool for us here at Zaizi and has been an instrumental tool in hiring the best talent on the market. I like the personal touch that we have a customer success manager that checks in with us on a weekly basis to find out where we are in the process with candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

I wouldn't say there is something that I dislike but because the candidates that we hire have to be SC Cleared, sometimes candidates that are not eligible for clearance come up in our search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great addition to internal recruiters' toolkit!"
What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob is a great tool for applicant and recruiter alike. There are active, engaged candidates in niche technology areas that you can contact and schedule interviews with using the easy to use platform. The best thing about the platform is the excellent service you receive. James is always on hand to help tailor searches, suggest candidates and work with me to get the right match for my vacancies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

There is little to dislike about the platform or the service you get, but there are some roles that Hackajob isn't the best for, but they are really honest about this and will always advise you which positions are probably best left off the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
