"A Must-Have Platform!"
5/5
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 ❤️"
5/5
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!"
5/5
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!"
4/5
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?"
5/5
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.

5/5
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.

"Hackajob is one of the best tools I've used!"
5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

We have used Hackajob for almost six months, and it is undoubtedly one of the best platforms we have access to. It has made hiring into our Tech teams so much easier and also helps to reduce our sourcing time.

The quality of candidates coming through is brilliant, and we have managed to move more candidates into the process since using Hackajob.

Our CSM Natalia is excellent and easy to speak to regarding our roles, finding other ways to help ensure our roles get filled, and is always on hand for any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

There genuinely isn't anything to dislike.

If there are any issues, our CSM gets them resolved straight away or will look into them immediately for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing product, and really supportive team to back it up!"
5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

The platform is straightforward to use for the entire recruitment cycle. Like the customisation available, allowing you to tweak job requirements and technical skills depending on your position. Matching candidates to roles is super easy and the platform allows you to set up next stages to progress the candidates with ease. Jaz, our Account Manager, is fantastic. she's very supportive and can solve any queries we throw her way. We've had plenty of successful hires through Hackajob, and hopefully many more to come! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Only downside from my point of view is not being able to add candidate notes onto profiles for tracking purposes. Hopefully this is something they can add in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Steady stream of strong, relevant candidates"
5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

Ease of platform use, access to Customer Success Manager and the quality and quantity of candidates. Each job profile/slot is easy to add and easy to alter if needed. The funnel is easy to manage and data is easy to extract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

I wouldn't say there are downsides because Hackajob has helped us so much over the 8 months we have been using it. It controls the controlables and thus gives you the best chance to succeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brilliant Tech recruitment tool - stand out from the rest!"
5/5
What do you like best about hackajob?

There are a number of advantages of using Hackajob, one of the main ones is the ability to access candidates who know they aren't going to be hounded by traditional recruitment agencies and know exactly where their profile is going makes the candidate experience much smoother.

Also, initially we didn't have a database of candidates due to an out of date ATS and with the integration of Hackajob with our new ATS is making the process of finding and contacting candidates much easier, more so than LinkedIn Recruiter! Our time to hire has been massively reduced for niche roles by giving us a number of top quality candidates at the top of the funnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Since we're competing with other internal talent teams from other innovative tech companies the competition for top quality talent is strong which is nothing to do with Hackajob. I'd say there's no integration between Hackajob and Microsoft Teams so calls that are booked in need to be done via mobile which sometimes confuses the candidate but is not a weekly occurrence.
