New Way of Recuriting Devs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Coster M. | Senior Development Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2023 **What do you like best about OfferZen?** OfferZen makes my life easier in terms of recruiting Java Developers I can quickly scroll through the CV's I like based on my requirements and speak to the candidate directly without any middle man.Its an awesome platform and they listen to comments/reviews and continously enhance the platform.The account manager Nicola Osman is always available and even helps me filter and go through CV's its an awesome Customer Support. **What do you dislike about OfferZen?** At first there was no way to use multiple skills to filter candidate it was bringing cvs that are not related to what I need because of searching using a sigle skills they have since improved that.If there can be a way save filters such that a CV that rejected should not be showing in my next search.If there can be guidance for Devs to understand current market benchmarks some Devs outprice themselves and keep changing sallaries every week. **What problems is OfferZen solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cut the middle man and make recruitment easier and faster. Get to chat to the Developer before the actual HR interview and decide if we want to proceed or not. A great picture of what the Developer Market is out there ### 4. Fantastic platform and people. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Antonieta H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2023 **What do you like best about OfferZen?** OfferZen has been a great platform for me and my colleagues to find candidates across South Africa and Europe. It has made it easy for us to connect with them directly and quickly. I appreciate the feature that allows a candidate to indicate their availability in their calendar, which is visible to me as a recruiter or talent acquisition partner. The company page on the platform provides detailed information that helps candidates make an informed decision on whether to accept or decline our invitation to connect and have an initial conversation. The professionals we have worked with have been courteous, professional, and highly skilled. **What do you dislike about OfferZen?** It can be challenging to find suitable candidates on the platform due to our modern tech stack., but we have had success finding great engineers on OfferZen. This is something that could perhaps be improved, but it is highly dependent on the market. **What problems is OfferZen solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding the right candidates for our company's available roles is now easier. OfferZen pre-screens candidates before we contact them for the first time and provides us with valuable information about the candidates so we are as knowledgeable as possible about what they are looking for and their experience. ### 5. Experience of OfferZen as a Hiring Manager **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2023 **What do you like best about OfferZen?** As an hiring manager I have used Offerzen over the last two years and have successfully placed four team members of my current team. I even got placed through the platform myself, and I recall it was very easy to get onboarded, and as a candidate the support was great. It's a consistent interface and makes it easy to review skills and CV's to drill down on the key aspects of the skills I am looking for. Getting the ability to see the relative popularity gives you an added impetus to know that you need to get a move on . The search and filtering features are powerful, once you get to understand how to use it well. I do find it easy to use and use it weekly to review new candidates, if I have current open roles. The interaction via the messaging is usefull as well although the majority of the communcations post introduction happens off the site. Recently we had some challenges in finding the right candidates, and they were very helpful in showing us different ways to retrieve the profiles we were not seeing. **What do you dislike about OfferZen?** The platform is very strong on roles that are closely techical - development, quality assurance, product management and related staff, but for the upper and management levels it's not that packed. This is more a function of their focus, which has been on the development community - getting momentum and scale needed them to focus on that area, but they are expanding their reach in these other areas too. **What problems is OfferZen solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a busy hiring manager I don't have time to wade through dozens of mismatched Word and PDF CV's trying to pick out the best candidates, and OfferZen allows me to filter the candidates that has the best changes of becoming a successful hire. Its consistent interface makes it easy to review skills and CV's to drill down on the key aspects of the skills I am looking for. The search and filtering features are powerful! It leaves me with more time to spend on building and growing a strong team, and because the candidates have a good view of the actual employer, it reduces the risk of a mismatch. ### 6.

The platform provides user friendly features and an extensive database of qualified candidates. What stands out to me is the ability to interact with candidates within the app, favourite promising individuals for team review, and the convenience of leaving internal notes for colleagues.

The platform is user-friendly and allows our recruitment team and hiring managers to communicate effectively on the platform. We've been able to integrate our ATS with the platform and despite our issues with integration, we have had the team at Offerzen to support us. **What do you dislike about OfferZen?** There are sometimes shortages of particular skills and one is limited to the candidates that are actively looking for jobs on Offerzen. **What problems is OfferZen solving and how is that benefiting you?** Offerzen helps us to find relevant and interested candidates for the roles that we have.

Navigating the Nuances of Hiring with OfferZen: A Balanced Perspective **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Taine john B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2023 **What do you like best about OfferZen?** My experience with OfferZen has been an interesting journey, particularly enriched by our account manager, Jolandi. Her patience, competence, and dedication to our startup's unique requirements have been commendable and immensely beneficial. As a software company breaking new ground, we faced a steep learning curve. Understanding the nuances of hiring developers, who undeniably bring their own set of unique characteristics to the recruitment table, was not an easy feat. But Jolandi walked us through it, providing indispensable guidance and support as we learned by trial and error. Her commitment to our venture has significantly eased our transition into the world of software development and has given us the much-needed room to grow and explore our potential. **What do you dislike about OfferZen?** While our journey with OfferZen has had its high points and we have managed to make numorous hires, it hasn't been without its challenges. A major pain point for us has been OfferZen's approach to developer compensation. The platform promises developers significantly more than the average market value, which, while enticing to potential candidates, creates unrealistic salary expectations. This tactic has complicated our hiring process. In our search for capable developers, we have encountered a multitude of candidates with inflated salary expectations. This inflated self-worth has led to an over-saturated candidate pool, muddying the waters of competence-based selection. For us, finding the right fit meant identifying developers who not only had the experience but also the requisite competence, which we had presumed to correspond with certain salary brackets. But with OfferZen setting an inflated standard, we found ourselves sorting through a multitude of less-qualified candidates with high salary expectations. This complicated and drawn-out process has made finding the right people a more challenging task than we anticipated. OfferZen's role in fostering these skewed perceptions needs to be reassessed, as it negatively impacts both hiring businesses and the realistic career growth expectations of developers. **What problems is OfferZen solving and how is that benefiting you?** , ### 12.
