Chose Breezy HR
Out of all of the applicant tracking systems I have used, Breezy HR is the most basic that I have experienced. The capabilities within other ATS platforms far outperform what you can get from Breezy HR.
Chose Breezy HR
No other app works as well and seamlessly as Breezy. They offer great value for the price, especially for small-medium businesses. It has similar features as the bigwigs like Workday and Success factors at a fraction of the cost.
Chose Breezy HR
Breezy HR just has a lot more features that are relevant to our requirements and helps streamline the hiring process immensely. Other software have been buggy and [have] issues with managing the talent pool which has caused [a] lot of issues including duplication and resume …
Chose Breezy HR
Breezy HR is a great tool. It is similar to other HR software but I do feel like Breezy had a better interface and navigation.
Chose Breezy HR
I did not choose Breezy and it's the most frustrating ATS I've used in my 20+ year career. It would be different if they were willing to work on making their software better, but they become very defensive when you tell them there's something wrong with it. I would rather have …
Chose Breezy HR
The decider for us was that we were able to use the tool and try it out for free. Having the team look at it and get a hands-on feel for it really made the decision easy for us. It also had more features in it than the other products we looked at. It felt like a more complete …
Chose Breezy HR
My team really liked the trial version of Breezy HR we used. We all felt that it was more suited towards the kind of hiring we do.
Chose Breezy HR
We did several trials with other programs, including Workable. Ultimately, the user friendliness of the platform and the customer service was what set them ahead. Some platforms we trialed were twice the cost, so getting the full program and all the features at what seemed to …
Chose Breezy HR
I liked that Breezy HR had an option to try it out before we committed. I also preferred the User interface of Breezy HR to other options we looked into. The pricing was very attractive as well. Plus it included more features than most competitors we demo-ed did.
Chose Breezy HR
It's hard to compare Breezy to other software because it's inexpensive and feature-rich. It doesn't stack up to Bamboo HR in terms of features because Bamboo HR is significantly more expensive. The only other competitor we evaluated was Freshteam, and Breezy outperformed it in …
Chose Breezy HR
We weren't using any other software before Breezy HR but did also consider Pipedrive. And while Pipedrive worked well, it wasn't suited for our needs. Pipedrive is more oriented towards sales and doesn't lend itself to the hiring process. Breezy HR covered all the needs we were …
Chose Breezy HR
Breezy HR is currently the best candidate tracking system I have seen out there at this price point.
Chose Breezy HR
I selected Breezy HR over Workable simply because it does the same thing but it is a better price. Workable initially had better looking software, but I feel like Breezy has really worked to close the gap. Workable also didn't have the Kanban board when I tested them awhile …
Chose Breezy HR
We previously used SmartRecruiters who used to have a free or very affordable tier. They then made the business decision to drastically raise the bar on their lowest paid tier, at which point I looked for an alternative and quickly ran across Breezy on Product Hunt. For our …

Chose CareerBuilder.com
I do not think that CareerBuilder.com is a very good job posting site. It does not provide you with quality applicants like some other products I have used. Not only does it provide a low number of candidates, the ones we do get to tend to be repeat applicants or are not …
Chose CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder.com does not come close to measuring up to their competitors. I've been working with Pandologic and Indeed since I still had to find qualified candidates for my clients and the difference in performance, quality of candidates, and customer service is like night …
Chose CareerBuilder.com
Wizehire is one of the most amazing systems I've ever seen. I've continued to share their information with many, and my hope is that they take the hiring world by storm! It's easy to use, they obtain great candidates and many. They're very responsive and always there to help. …
Chose CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder did not meet our needs because of this we stopped using them. We have found Indeed to be the best hiring platform out there, and we have looked at ALL OF THEM. We spent money that did not turn in to new hires, so it was a waste. It appeared like CareerBuilder …
Chose CareerBuilder.com
We were sold on CareerBuilder's "exclusive" contract with Google, and the ease of linking our website marketing to the platform. We googled our CareerBuilder job posting, to find them 5 pages deep. When we questioned these results with our account manager, he had no response. …
Chose CareerBuilder.com
ZipRecruiter is far superior to CareerBuilder.com in every way. We were placing applicants in jobs within days of signing with ZR.
Chose CareerBuilder.com
Careerbuilder comes in last place on my list with Ziprecruiter and Monster and LinkedIn in top place
Chose CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder.com was one of the first employment advertising that our company has used and we have been using it for about 7 years. Since then, we have tried other employment advertising (Monster.com, Indeed.com, LinkedIn, RecruitMilitary, and ZipRecruiter) and we have …
Chose CareerBuilder.com
Indeed seems to be having some similar issues which is why I tried Careerbuilders. However Careerbuilders was even lower quality despite their marketing that suggests they have more qualified applicants.
Chose CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder.com is a different animal than LinkedIn Jobs. LinkedIn pulls candidates who are passive, whereas CareerBuilder.com targets more active candidates in the market. LinkedIn has served as a much more viable resource for sourcing higher level candidates, who are not …
Chose CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder.com's resume database functions just like any other job board. I believe the market is shifting away from job boards. What sets it apart is its stellar data tools.
Chose CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder proved to have more candidates and an easier interface than Monster. However, Indeed has a much higher volume of candidates in their pool and LinkedIn provides many more search parameters and a better platform for reaching out directly to candidates.
Chose CareerBuilder.com
CareerBuilder.com offers a better selection. It is almost as if a more responsible group of people utilize it.

Working with many employees at the same time would be the perfect scenario to let us test all the potential that the Breezy HR platform has to offer, since its organizational capacity is large enough to be able to organize and coordinate the attendance and absence information of many workers without losing track of the job. Reviewing documents where data is needed about each employee's behavior, including their daily attendance hours, tracking of all the absences they have taken since starting at the company, and comments about their potential, which would be excellent for reporting during promotional seasons. The management of many employee lists through database services, which thanks to the platform's adaptation to cover external service software operations such as Microsoft Excel, means that it is possible to import employee databases when moving information from a storage platform.

If I could give them a zero, I would. In my experience, CareerBuilder.com literally took thousands of my hard-earned dollars ($5K) for NOTHING in return! You would think that since CareerBuilder.com could literally see that it was not producing the results promised, it would have considered releasing me from the contract or lowering the cost, in my opinion, but CareerBuilder.com made sure they collected every penny from me with zero consideration for customer satisfaction and failed to deliver the applicants. That told me everything I needed to know about CareerBuilder.com and how they really feel about customers. In my opinion, CareerBuilder.com primary focus is to get customers on the hook with a contract to legally guarantee they receive their money from you, but they can care less about the results their platform produces or customer satisfaction, “they just want your money”! I firmly believe CareerBuilder.com knows that their product does not work, hence the reason for the 1 yr contract is to basically guarantee company revenue for an entire year.

Pros
  • Low-Cost: Compared to its enterprise-level alternatives, Breezy is incredibly inexpensive. There are very few cost-effective hiring softwares to choose from, and we were under the impression that we'd be spending thousands to get a system that helps us like Breezy does.
  • All in one solution: For small teams, you really only need Breezy to manage your hiring funnel.
  • Customer Support: I've chatted with customer support for everything from product troubleshooting to changing my billing structure, and they were very accommodating and resolved my issues quickly.
  • Job Board Integrations: Through Breezy, you can post to 40+ job boards (many that are totally free). We have found that we get a significant number of candidates from this with no additional money spent.

  • In my opinion, take your money for nothing in return
  • In my opinion, over promise and under deliver
  • In my opinion, deceive customers
  • In my opinion, hold you to the terms of their contract, but will not take accountability for lack of results produced
  • In my opinion, poor customer service

Cons
  • The reporting capabilities in Breezy HR are nearly nonexistent. What does exist does not align with and support current recruiting best practices.
  • Getting assistance with issues is difficult at best unless you pay for the highest tier package offered.
  • The system is not intuitive when it comes to setting up candidate scorecards, capturing candidate feedback, or who sees what information.
Read full review
  • Functionality can be more user-friendly for beginners.
  • More options to integrate with other platforms and Applicant Tracking Systems
  • Make it easier to create candidate lists, and send mass emails--while this feature is available, CareerBuilder.com does not make it easy for users to perform these tasks.
  • Add an option for the user to be notified when candidates in saved folders have removed their resume or are no longer available.

Usability
It's very difficult to navigate. Most systems have a job management side and a candidate management side. Breezy only has a candidate management side. It never pulls our jobs to Indeed. The user interface is so challenging to navigate. It will remove vital parts of the screen if you expand a menu. It freezes constantly. It's a great idea, but it has so many software bugs. There is something wrong with this platform and nobody wants to find the bugs.

CareerBuilder.com is average in terms of overall usability. I am able to post my positions and figure the site out. However, finding out how many additional options you are is not something easily accessible. If you don't know where to look, you may not be able to find or know how many "boosts" you have to use for the month.

Support Rating
The customer support team is always very responsive, and they are genuinely interested in helping you solve your issue. If the issue is something they cannot solve or guide you through, they always send it to their tech team to fix from the back end. They are also very receptive when you send along ideas or suggestions.

I have had a positive experience with CareerBuilder's support. When the platform has been updated throughout the years, CareerBuilder's account managers have always provided our team with helpful live tutorials and demonstrations to help familiarize our users with new and upcoming features, as well as older features that will no longer be offered. Support team makes themselves available on an ongoing basis.

Return on Investment
  • Breezy HR has cut our recruitment work load by about 30%. Breezy HR automates a lot of the process and cuts out a ton of manual work. This has allowed our recruiters to focus on the more important parts of the process thus resulting in higher quality hires.

  • There was not a good ROI for the investment we spent with CareerBuilder. It cost us money that did not turn in to employees.
  • We spent labor hours trying to get candidates who were ghosting us. So it ended up being a waste of time and manpower as well.
