"The client service at Hackajob has been the best part about partnering with them!"
4/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

I have been very impressed at how helpful and attentive the hackajob team has been. They listen to our needs, take our feedback, follow up on any issues/fixes promptly and are a joy to work with. I especially loved how non-aggressive their approach is when it comes to seeking new business, as well as how easy they are to get along with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

I don't like that if there are a team of recruiters, all recruiters see the same exact people without any indication if someone from the team has reviewed a candidate for a role already or not. This creates a lot of duplicate work and for our recruiting team that can typically pass around roles amongst each other, it creates more work to have to go through previously reviewed candidates.

"Great platform!"
5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

Hands down the best thing about Hackajob is the staff!! They are so helpful, always checking in with us & are there whenever we need them. Even when I'm asking them to send me across alllllll the data on all the roles I've been working! I've also worked with the talent team this year and they were able to help me find candidates on a couple niche roles I had open.

New matches come up daily on the platform and it is super easy to go through them. I find Hackajob really easy to use, even uploading a job is very straightforward.

I use Hackajob daily, and I have to say that it's an all round great platform!

Special mention to Sophie Ayres and Jazmin Lewis - two absolute gems, and play a huge role in BBC's success with Hackajob. Couldn't ask for better. Thank you both! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform with outstanding service"
5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

Simply put, it's a highly effective platform that enables our TA team to effectively scale at speed and the appropriate cost.

What really separates Hackajob from other similar products is how closely they work with companies to ensure roles are filled. Countless times Hacakjob have been able to provide insights and advice backed with data on how best to recruit for particularly niche roles. Likewise, they actively take feedback to help shape the product roadmap of the platform with impactful changes to ensure improved candidate attraction and matching.

"Better than Linkedin Recruiter!"
5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

We've been using Hackajob for Tech hiring at Flutter for the last 3 years or so.

What we love:

Great user interface, easy candidate communication and scheduling functions.

Basic pre qualification carried out on all candidates, actively growing database of engaged Talent.

Mostly relevant profile matches to role skillsets.

Saves our TA team time vs Linkedin Recruiter - talent are already engaged, we know salary expectations and visa requirements.

Ongoing responsive account management and support from the HJ team who also provide useful up to date market insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

What could improve:

Not so much as an issue recently but we have previously flagged candidate quality on a couple of occasions technical skills mismatch in pipelines, English language proficiency level was also flagged.

Important to note this feedback was acted upon and the vast majority of candidates have been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent platform for tech hiring!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

I recruit across the Tech, Product & Data space and was introduced to Hackajob a few years ago when looking to hire across these areas within an ambitious scale-up. Hackajob was a game changer in allowing us to access top-tier talent across the the tech space. The Hackajob platform ensures that candidates on the platform are active and pre-vetted which was extremely useful when looking to hire quickly at volume as it saved a lot of time within the hiring process. The platform itself also gave us access to a real diverse talent pool where we were able to improve our DE&I statistics with exceptional talent from diverse and under-represented backgrounds.

One thing that sets Hackajob apart from similar platforms is their customer success team and how seamless the platform integrates with current systems & processes. The onboarding experience was seamless integrating with our ATS and other platforms reducing time spent on admin tasks. The customer success team were top drawer and Taylor our account manager couldn't have been better. From initial onboarding and showcasing the platform to showcasing platform updates to regular stand ups ensuring candidates are moving along the process to give us the best chance hiring successfully she was great. She was always on hand to help and it felt as though we had an additional resource at our disposal. Made us feel very valued and also ensured we were really making the most of the platform.

Hackajob has been great for helping us to scale key areas of the business within very competitive markets and candidate pools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

No real dislikes to the platform, it is extremely user-friendly and the customer success team are amazing and really take it to the next level as a useful recruitment tool.

We were quite fortunate to be able to hire remotely within the UK as well as within popular tech stacks albeit the top 5% of the market. As the platform grows so will the candidate pools in smaller locations as well as in more niche skillsets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
