Great UI & Experience for both Recruiters & Candidates **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mikey B. | Corporate Recruiter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2025 **What do you like best about HireHive?** - Really great interface and UI: very clean looking, easy to visually navigate, friendly enough for anybody to jump into a recruiting team or into a specific requisition and clearly know exactly what's going on. - Strong customization: you can create templates for emails scalable across your entire team or private to yourself, with variables such as candidate name / job title that make it easy to process applications without much manual input. Can schedule out emails to send in the future. Can customize specific 'buckets' to move candidates through within each requisition. Can create custom tags that stick to applicants. I've almost never run into a situation where I've felt like, "wow I wish I could do that!" as almost everything can be adjusted/customized. - Sharing friendly: can easily add people not in the system into interview invites, share profiles and resumes with them, etc. and for teammembers in the system it's even better - copy/pasting URLs work for sharing, plus a tagging system. - Support: the Hirehive team is readily available for support and resolving any issues that arise - quickly too typically. Very open to our feedback and have implemented things we've suggested. - Easy candidate experience: applications are EASY to submit! one page lists the entire application - candidate's don't need to re-type their whole resume like in some systems, customizable questions. Helps capture talent and avoid losing them to a frustrating application. **What do you dislike about HireHive?** - Emails sent through Hirehive come across as a random combination of numbers and letters as the email address. This routes everything through Hirehive which is great for tracking, but can be confusing to candidates who don't understand they can reply to the email, or just end up in spam. - Candidates can re-apply to the same role repeatedly. **What problems is HireHive solving and how is that benefiting you?** ATS for our entire recruitment - as our team has scaled out from 200 people to 1600 people over the last 5 years, using HireHive for most of that growth journey. ### 2. Streamlined our recruitment process **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** matteo m. | head of delivery, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2025 **What do you like best about HireHive?** The platform is very intuitive and easy to navigate, making job postings and candidate tracking seamless. It integrates well with multiple job boards, helping us reach a broader audience effortlessly. The automated emails and interview scheduling features save a lot of time in our recruitment workflow. The reporting and analytics tools provide valuable insights into our hiring process. **What do you dislike about HireHive?** The customization options for job postings and branding could be improved. Some integrations with third-party tools require manual setup, which can be time-consuming. Candidate filtering options could be more advanced for better applicant screening. Occasional bugs or delays in the system can slow down the hiring process. **What problems is HireHive solving and how is that benefiting you?** HireHive simplifies the recruitment process by centralizing job postings, candidate applications, and interview scheduling, saving us valuable time and effort. ### 3.

I use viewpoint but it's not compatible that's the only down fall. **What do you dislike about HireHive?** Not to user friendly. Needs a simpler process. It's not compatible with an of the software I use so it has to be done as a separate program. I'd like to see it become an add on for HR software. **Recommendations to others considering HireHive:** Have a more user friendly sign up process and be more compatible with other software **What problems is HireHive solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hiring new employees that i can trust. It hard to find good help. It's a great cost but would be even better to pay more as an add on to additional software. It has definitely boosted business performance. ### 7.

Simple to use ATS **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2019 **What do you like best about HireHive?** I like how easy it is to get started - within a few clicks, you can have your job posted, see applicants coming in, move them through the pipeline and communicate via email. **What do you dislike about HireHive?** Some of the configurations are limited - for example, with delaying emails, there are only a couple of hardcoded options (you can't pick the exact date/time you want). The actual configuration screens, while easy, are limited in what you can do - can't reorder certain configurations easily - have to delete, recreate in the order you want them to appear. Reporting is limited as well. **What problems is HireHive solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted a solution that would help us centralize all of hiring activities and HireHive has been great at allowing us to reduce our time to hire while improving the candidate experience. ### 11. More than capable ATS **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2019 **What do you like best about HireHive?** The integration of email and calendar to make communicating with the candidate centralized. **What do you dislike about HireHive?** Need to click around and refresh views a lot to get to the view you want - can't necessarily navigate around intuitively. For example, if I go to Messages and click on Inbox and click on a message, I would like to then be able to click on the candidate's name from the message directly to get taken into the candidate's profile. But instead, I have to click on Jobs or Candidates and find that candidate at that point. **What problems is HireHive solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has made tracking the process of candidates through the pipeline and communicating with candidates very easy. ### 12.
