"Effortless Hiring with Seamless Integrations"

5/5

What do you like best about Hireology?

I love how easy it is to write a job ad with Hireology's templates, and I can also get help from my rep. The synchronization with our payroll provider, Netchex, is something I really appreciate; everything syncs smoothly, and our new hires constantly mention how smooth the process is compared to other jobs they have had. Sponsoring job ads on job boards is very easy, and seeing where an applicant is in the onboarding process is seamless. The initial setup was incredibly easy and very customizable, which I really liked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hireology?

No notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hireology solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Hireology, everything is integrated, so I don't need multiple logins. It syncs with my payroll provider, saving on paperwork. I love the templates for job ads and the easy sponsorship of job ads on boards. It simplifies tracking applicants' onboarding status, and new hires find the process smooth.

"Effective Way to Recruit"

5/5

What do you like best about Hireology?

The most helpful aspects are the integrations with other platforms and automation features to quickly recruit and onboard new employees. I also love the scoring feature for interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hireology?

Sometimes employees decide to complete onboarding in person instead of online. I don't have the ability to "waive" the onboarding so my only option is to move them back to a candidate. For reporting reasons, it would be nice to "Cancel Onboarding" and have the reason be they completed it in person instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Job Posting, But Pricing Could Be More Flexible and Better Integration would be Helpful"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Hireology?

Ease- it posts on multiple job boards at once, saving our company time.

I appreciate being able to communicate with candidates via text using a generic number.

We LOVED Ellen- she was so helpful and so fun to talk to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hireology?

Our company has been a part of making Hireology work better as a whole. I do believe we should've had discounts or something for the advancements we helped with.

It's very expensive and at times we're asked to pay for things we don't want/need/use.

Sales pitches are annoying.

Changing the layouts- all of a sudden everything is harder to find.

It would be really nice to have a much simpler website to hand to people or say to people when they ask where our job posts are listed. This one is sooooo long and hard for people to remember and know how to spell.

I wish Hireology could integrate into our North Dakota Job Service job boards.

Integration into BambooHR would be so helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
