Likelihood to Recommend
It is well-suited if you want to hire underqualified developers who lie about their skills and cannot pass a real interview. Don't use this tool as their candidates seem groomed to talk the talk but not walk the walk!

I think that Instawork is really great for jobs that are more on the "simple" side where you really do not have to have an expansive knowledge of the position. For example, something along the lines of catering, serving, retail work or anything that can be learned with a quick overview are probably the very best.

Cons
  • Their 'Connie' tool can be a bit invasive. Sometimes Recruiters go at a really fast pace and don't always use the Vettery email to ensure candidates are scheduled but the Connie tool will message you asking you to set up meetings even after they're on the calendar.

Support Rating
Good support from an account manager whose only job is to give you interviewing incentives but then not follow through on them.

Alternatives Considered
Vettery has a selection of Sales and Finance candidates which is invaluable to our business. Hired mainly focuses on technical candidates, and while it's helpful, it's more pricey. For a company growing like ours, every penny counts, which means Vettery is the preferred tool in our organization to ensure we have a full top-of-funnel for Recruiting.
