Vettery is a terrible waste of time and potentially money! Don't waste your time!

Rating: 1 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Very bad experience with Vettery. Gave promises of incentives in order to interview candidates, and once we did our part to earn the incentive, they did not fulfill their end of the agreement. Seems like they will only fulfill their end of the bargain once we use their (exorbitantly) expensive platform to hire (bad) candidates! Don't use Vettery!

Pros

  • Simple, clean UI.

Cons

  • Bad quality of candidates.
  • No candidate screening or pre-qualification.
  • No ability to help convince candidates that the interviewing company is a good company.
  • No service outside of trying to convince you to interview more people.
  • Candidates couldn't code!

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!

Helpful Tool for a Growing Organization

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Vettery is used across the organization, with a central base within the Human Resources team. The Human Resources team, along with Hiring Managers throughout our company search for qualified candidates and extend meeting invitations through the tool.

This tool is effective in finding candidates to interview for various open opportunities at the organization. Our Recruiters build up a pipeline from sourcing efforts and also comb through the many candidates delivered to our team each week through the Vettery tool.

Pros

  • Vettery provides quality candidates for open opportunities.
  • Vettery provides a hands-on support team that establishes a strong relationship with Recruiters and Hiring Managers.
  • Vettery has established auto-responders to ensure candidates are moving through the pipeline effectively.

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Vettery is appropriate for a scaling business. Our company experienced tremendous growth and so it's truly helpful to have a tool fill in the gaps of a Talent Acquisition pipeline. Not every candidate is going to get hired, but that's okay. You find diamonds in the rough and you get a sense of what talent is out there to compare.
