Considered Both Products
Freshteam
Chose Freshteam
I have used HirePro previous to Freshteam and Hirepro has some limitations. It does not give any report for analysis which is the major drawback it has. It is also not faster. It lags sometimes while using. Few major filters are missing which makes it difficult to work. …
Chose Freshteam
Freshteam is less expensive than other ATSs - although it has less functionalist as well, it does a lot of things well, especially for the price. I think it has good value as long as a company is willing to invest the time in understanding how it works and augmenting the …
Chose Freshteam
Better UI, workflows, customizations and value of money.
Chose Freshteam
Zoho recruitment is also a decent product but we liked Freshteam over that just because of a few added advantages that this is giving to us, namely, we are using other products from Freshworks like Freshconnect. Secondly, Zoho does have less customer base compared to …
Chose Freshteam
I found Freshteam to be better in a lot of ways. First of all employee management, including referral, recruitment, applying for leave was more convenient. Secondly, I feel the UI was more user-friendly compared to the other tool. However, it can be improved more.
Chose Freshteam
We have not tried any other products, we simply decided to use this because we use other Freshworks products, but we were definitely very happy about using this product and it has worked very well for us.
Chose Freshteam
Freshteam was a choice for us because we use other Freshworks products. That is why we did not really explore other options that could have been out there.
Chose Freshteam
I didn't use any other platforms like it but I like Freshteam because the amount of features for the cost. Example: you can schedule interviews and a lot more and it's making things easy for us like posting jobs. I would recommend it for anyone who is looking to grow his …
Chose Freshteam
While Freshteam is almost as good as Recruiterbox, for a high volume recruiting environment, the free version of Freshteam won't meet your team's needs. Recruiterbox is expensive, but worth the cost for high volume recruiting environments. I previously used MightyRecruiter, …
Chose Freshteam
We are unable to fully customize the pipeline according to our organization's needs. We are stuck and unable to show all the jobs posted to our carrier's website in one place. And we also have faced problems to make an assessment of candidates for different jobs, which helps to …
Recruit CRM
Chose Recruit CRM
It's crucial for every recruiting team to measure KPIs and performance metrics, and Recruit CRM makes reporting more detailed than ever. You can generate the following reports using the ATS + CRM: Team performance. Candidate lifecycle.A recruiting tech stack is a collection of …
Chose Recruit CRM
We selected this tool because it was easy to set up and use, and the customer support team is super helpful.
Chose Recruit CRM
We evaluated about 3-5 different vendors. The low barrier to entry made it an easy target to test out. Forcing an upfront annual fee was not in our interest without extensively testing the product. We also had a very basic requirement - an easy way to intake a large number …
Chose Recruit CRM
Every system has its pros and cons I believe that RCRM is very similar to Smartsearch.
Chose Recruit CRM
Recruit CRM has a better workflow and is easier to use than AkkenCloud. Akkencloud is more suited for Temp Agency. Bullhorn in my opinion is too complex and more suited for larger organizations. Recruit CRM in my opinion is the best ATS on the market and the Customer service …
Chose Recruit CRM
We use several different systems among all of our clients. We used Zoho Recruit ourselves for many years. We have found RCRM to be MUCH more user friendly and customizable. I can't speak on the customer service for the other systems, but Zoho customer service was awful. …
Chose Recruit CRM
Better functionality
Nicer people
Competitively priced
Chose Recruit CRM
I have not used very many other options, but we were drawn to this software because it was very visual and intuitive and would definitely reduce training time.

Likelihood to Recommend
Freshteam is much less expensive than other ATSs - we've recently switched to Greenhouse which is more than ten times as expensive. It seems like a good starter ATS for small startups and the automation may be useful for teams without dedicated HR support. I suspect that many companies will grow out of it the way we did.

Recruit CRM is would make a great choice if you are looking for a CRM/ATS partner. Their training and support make it impossible to not have the tools necessary for success from the first sign-on. They continue to improve their product by soliciting direct feedback and suggested features from users. Their customer support is live 24-7 and the response time for any questions or issues is outstanding which is critical for a company with employees in different time zones or one without on-site technical support.

Pros
  • Moving interviews through each stage. It helps keep you stay organized and no one falls through the cracks.
  • Communicating with people through the Freshteam email is easy and again it helps guide interviews through the process. It also reminds you to follow up with people when they will not move forward to the next stage.
  • The hiring manager can log in and see the progress and notes at all times. You can also load your different interview questions in so the entire hiring committee can have everything in one place.

Cons
  • Pipeline features need to be improved so that we can map out our recruitment process onto the platform.
  • Can we get options for embedding a carrier's web page into our existing website, to show all of our published jobs?
  • Implementing a simple UI to push our job into third party websites, or an API which helps us find most known job portals.
  • We need some assessment features for various jobs, including mine, so it will also a necessary part of every recruitment application.

  • They are adding a lot of features all the time which can be annoying
  • They are usually catching up with features that other programs have rather than being more innovative
  • Other than this, I do not really have any complaints about this software

There is always room for improvement and I believe RCRM is a great system that is adapting to what it's users want and need. The system suits our needs and is a huge improvement from our previous system. I can't say enough good things about the customer service. They have great follow up and always get back to me within the same day. If there is ever an unknown, there is a timeline given for follow up and a promise to get it resolved. They always come through. It's important to have a team behind your software that listens and adapts.

Again, the customer service team is awesome. They always respond in the same day and have resolved any issue I have ever had. They have made improvements to the system on a weekly basis, always improving for their users. There is a forum where you can leave your feature suggestions and vote on ones left by other users. The reps will jump on a call or screen share with you if you need to be walked through anything. They go above and beyond.

Sometimes fails to upload CV in any format, we need to wait for sometime then it uploads after some time.
