I used Underdog.io as a hiring manager, and it’s honestly the easiest way to find great talent. The candidates on there are seriously top-notch, and it’s been a game changer to have a platform where I can reach out to people who might not even know our company exists. It’s perfect for startups without a big name yet or even more established companies that might seem less exciting on paper. You get to connect with candidates directly, which is way better than going through the usual corporate HR hoops.
I love that you can filter by industry, so it's easy to find candidates who have already dealt with the same kind of problems we're facing. Plus, you can see what type of company stage they’re interested in, so you're not wasting anyone's time. The candidates are usually pretty quick to respond, and if they’re not, the team at Underdog.io is great at giving them a little nudge. The staff there are super helpful and genuinely nice.
Overall, I’d recommend Underdog.io to any hiring manager out there. It’s a really effective platform, and the pricing is reasonable, which is a huge plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing that could improve the platform is the addition of more admin-style tools. Right now, you can star candidates that catch your eye and share them with colleagues, which is great. But it would be even more useful if there were annotation tools available, allowing you to write notes directly on a candidate’s profile. This way, you could easily remember what stood out about them without having to rely on memory or separate notes. It would make the hiring process even smoother and more efficient!
