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 …
Spark Hire
Chose Spark Hire
We used to use Microsoft Teams for video interview and right now we moved to Spark Hire. The application is giving us extreme benefits of shortlisting the best suitable candidates. Recorded video interview sharing with the relevant hiring manager ensures proper transparency and …
Chose Spark Hire
We have not used other products like Spark Hire. This is the only one, so it would be very difficult for us to compare Spark Hire with other products. We can say that we have never felt the need to look elsewhere for a product of this nature, and don't intend to do so at this …
Chose Spark Hire
SmartRecruiters also has a self-scheduling feature for interviews that we got some exposure to. Spark Hire you're able to customize more of your options with the type of interview and also customizing the length of the interview.
Chose Spark Hire
Spark Hire is easier to use and has better customer service.
Chose Spark Hire
I can't remember the names of the other companies I reviewed but I chose Spark Hire because I could purchase the service on a monthly basis. This is an important feature for us since we're a small business.

User Testimonials
Breezy HRSpark Hire
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

It is great for first round interviews, or if you have a ton of candidates that need to be narrowed down quickly. However it is not great further along in the interview process as it lacks that personalized touch and the conversation is one sided. But overall, for the initial beginning stages of an intense recruiting process, it is a great way to learn more about candidates apart from just their resume.

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.

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.

  • I don't think the site is particularly user friendly. Since I use it so infrequently, I never remember where things are hidden and I do mean hidden.
  • Secondly, I had a wonderful sales representative the second year I used the service, Jacob Hall, who was always available to help me. Happily for him, he got promoted and this year I found the customer service lacking. If I had a problem, I either had to email your support team or leave a message in the general mail box. I found that very frustrating because I'm extremely busy when I'm staffing this event and I don't have the luxury of the time to take extra steps to resolve a problem.

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.

Spark Hire is easy to use for both us and the candidate/interviewee. There is not a huge learning curve to being able to implement the program. Additionally, our clients (who are given access to the interviews) don't find it difficult to use, and our candidates have very few problems when recording their video interviews

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 not used the support that much with Spark Hire but it seems that there are a lot of features available for support and different resources that are provided on Spark Hire's website. For the most part, the system is very user-friendly and it's easy to navigate and figure out things on your own.

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.

  • We're not spending valuable time conducting phone interviews for many candidates.
  • Our hiring managers can get visually acquainted with many different candidates in our industry.
  • It's not overly expensive to add more team members as users on the plan.
