ApplicantPro vs. KeldairHR

I would have thought ApplicantPro would be good for lower level positions such as accounting clerks; however, I have not had much luck finding qualified applicants for these positions through ApplicantPro. I'm not sure if this has to do with a software or the current state of affairs in the US with COVID-19.

I am not an HR expert, however the recruitment process has recently been given to me as a part of our marketing and communications efforts. As someone who is not a seasoned professional in the hiring process, Hyrell has been a godsend. It allows me to manage the process and screen applicants very easily, provides automated templates for different stages throughout the hiring process, and offers great reporting options to gain insight into the effectiveness of our efforts. For these reasons, I would say Hyrell is particularly well-suited for a small business where employees may have to wear several hats and may not necessarily be HR professionals

• Integration with BambooHR for when someone is hired
• Posting to a very wide variety of job boards
• Having job templates so you don't have to redo listings

• Very accessible customer support - if I need help getting the posting the way I want it, they are there.
• Regularly scheduled training seminars - if you want to learn more about the program and its features, sign up.
• Responsive technical support - when I find glitches, they will work on it until they resolve it.

• While Applicant Pro interfaces with many HRIS platforms to streamline onboarding, unfortunately this option is not available for us (though I'm not sure if that's Applicant Pro's fault or our HRIS provider's fault).

Incentivized

• Pre-built reports.
• Candidate profiles and ability for candidates to sign up for job alerts.
• No longer a "stream" on the main dashboard to provide an overview of everything occurring in all jobs. Now, we are required to go into each individual job for that stream. This is a change from the old system.

It is a solid product that is easy to use and implement.

No Issues, and again, the Hyrell folks have lived up to what they said they would do at the beginning!

It is NOT OFTEN that one gets in marriage what one is promised in courtship. Our business relationship with Hyrell has proven to be on sound footing, as Hyrell lives up to what they state in their first meeting with a potential business partner.

I have never had an issue.

Consistent performance. Continuous software improvement. Excellent customer service.

I have never had to wait for response. Someone always speaks directly to me, sometimes more than once, and email follow-up keeps the issue in the field of vision until there is a resolution.

Emily is great at explaining!

It worked well!

Ask for the help you need from your account representative and technical support. They are very helpful and easy to work with.

These two systems are similar in that they track applicants, can store offers, automate email responses and allow easy job posting. I think that PeopleSoft is a little more advanced and has more overall options/safeguards, where as ApplicantPro is still in a learning phase both within themselves and for us as a company

Hyrell was much easier to use, cheaper and the support from the team has been outstanding. When this was launched, we had each of our managers attend an online webinar. If they were unable to view this, then there have been monthly training sessions available as well as one-on-one help for the less techy folks in the company.

Hyrell has kept us moving, tracking and hiring strong candidates, even has we have moved from hiring 1 or 2 people a month to 3 or 4 a week! Great program, good features and fantastic supportl (Thanks, Emily!!!)

• Spotlighting applications to hiring managers has been very helpful.
• The @Notes feature is a great tool.
• Texting feature is great.
• Custom creation of Inbox Templates is very useful.
• Great reporting features.

• My client has found very strong candidates much quicker than ever before. This has provided the foundations for the desired business growth.
• The quality of the candidates coming from this platform has energized the company. Recruiting can be a dull game for many managers, but with Hyrell they see it as opportunity to easily and quickly find the right candidate to help them achieve their goals.
• It has provided much more confidence to the company that they will be able to find the resources they need to successfully grow while they implement their business plan. It has enabled projects and plans to move forward to ready the company for its mission.
