RecruitBot Reviews

Pros

Being able to attain personal emails & numbers in a matter of seconds is a game changer. I loved the quality of candidates I received back. Much better than LinkedIn.

Cons

I wish, during the free trial, I could see what the ATS integration looks like. Also not all the data was perfect. I did get candidates that their cities did not match, or that they had just started a new job.

Pros

RB is easy to use and affordable. The value exceeds the cost by far. The customer service team is 10X more helpful than LinkedIn has ever been.

This is easy to use, easy to track, and easy to implement. We made 3+ hires our first week after implementing with dozens lined up for the next few.

Cons

No cons. I love this thing. I try to bring it with me whenever I stand up a new org.

Pros

They can verify some emails, that's really the only pro I can list.

Cons

The platform seems very old school and out of date. There aren't any candidates on recruitbot that I wasn't able to already find on LinkedIn. They claim their response rate to be so high but I got very little responses (I got way more on LinkedIn through Inmail). They claim the machine learning saves you so much time but it's not even accurate.

Pros

There are multiple ways to reach prospects. I love that you can generate emails/campaigns specified to your needs to send out automatically at your discretion and stop those from continuing to be sent out if need be.

Cons

I wouldn't call this a con, but I do wish there was more access to entry level position prospects.
I do get an error message "failed to save search" when I attempt to select "save & see search results". Not all the time, but on occasion.
I do wish there were more entry-level prospects to reach out to: RBT/BT/CNA

Pros

An extensive candidate database, complete with LinkedIn profiles, for easy review.
Advanced filters, including specific skill sets or programming languages.
Machine learning results derived from data collected from 10 candidates who match our selection criteria and 10 who do not.
Fully automated outreach.
An amazing customer success staff that ensures not only the on-track progress of candidate search and outreach but also provides best practices to prevent your emails from being labeled as spam.

Cons

Limited to what is explicitly declared on LinkedIn, for example, if you're looking for Next.js expertise, then the word 'Next.js' has to be explicitly declared in the candidate's profile. Unfortunately, there are candidates who do not keep their LinkedIn profiles detailed enough or up-to-date. However, for all other candidates, this platform is perfect.

Reasons for Switching to RecruitBot

Automated outreach and advanced filters for searching

Pros

The first and most important takeaway I had with RecruitBot is how responsive their team was regarding my interest in AI talent sourcing. Their team really wanted to understand my business and the industry vertical I operate in to determine how I could maximize RecruitBot for my purposes. Beyond these initial steps they were highly supportive in my efforts to set the platform up for my specific needs. Once I was oriented with the system, I found it both intuitive and easily navigable.

Cons

When conducting a search, the 'skills' section is not yet up to speed as a filter. However, having talked with RecruitBot about this function, I understand it will be fully online and operational in a few weeks.

Reasons for Switching to RecruitBot

RecruitBot was willing to work with me on scaling the pricing of the platform based on my use and needs. Additionally, I felt the platform interface was highly intuitive

Pros

The diversity filters - especially the female first name filter.

Cons

Lots of bad data - email addresses, names, experience of candidates

Pros

It is User friendly and a great Time Saver !

Cons

Not many Cons in my opinion. Customer Service is great and you can learn the platform pretty quick.

Pros

Ease of use, very intuitive. Drip campaigns for emails made following up a breeze!

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind. I would suggest a quick walkthrough with their training folks to make sure you get the most out of the system.

Pros

My team found that finding resumes and candidates at all levels was easy within RecruitBot. usually it identified people we did not find via our other sources.

Cons

At first its was tricky in building the right search strings, but the team at RecruitBot helped and played with different searches for us to find the right candidates.

Pros

I enjoyed the automation features of the email cadences in addition to the filters to narrow down the criteria of the candidates I desired for a specific role.

Cons

As a one-woman show, the cost became a bit prohibitive for me unfortunately but I truly appreciate the value and features offered. Wish there were special packages available for unique customer setups like myself that don't have teams and simply work solo.

Pros

The AI is absolutely fantastic. After rating enough candidates, it ONLY provides me with 5 star candidates. It's brilliant and a huge time saver.

Cons

Absolutely no cons so far. RecruitBot has been my favorite platform.

Pros

Researching candidates and the easy accessibility across teams!

Cons

So far some of the resume parsing could be cleaner but other than that it is great!

Pros

RecruitBot is a fundamentally delightful product. I'm not a recruiter, but this product and team make it a joy to recruit. Deploying boolean searches on resumes makes identifying key candidates a breeze and I'm consistently impressed by the depth and accuracy of the db of candidates.

Cons

The platform has its bugs. Every once and while I'll get an error, but am consistently impressed by their support team's quick responses + ability to diagnose anything that's happened and rectify it in minutes. Beyond that, the platform is consistently improving + they take feedback to heart.

Pros

Huge database of resumes with excellent search capability. I could make a useful search query within minutes and generate dozens of interesting resumes to rank. Automated emailing to prospect candidates is really well done and feels very personal to the people emails are sent to.

Cons

There were some resume parsing challenges for complicated cases (for example if a person holds multiple positions currently, which one is the relevant for the search).

Pros

Access to high quality talent and ease of communication. Made me feel like I had the power to find my team versus spending 10x on a recruiter who couldn't return results I needed. It's wild to be that this is so cost effective and outcome effective at the same time.

Cons

It requires someone on your team to be a good email writer, that said, they helped us crafts ours and were very involved in that process.

Pros

I love how easy Recruitbot is to use. The user interface is simple, straight forward and allows you to get in the software and find exactly what you need without any complication. My absolute favorite part of the software is the email campaigns. Unlike other Recruiting tools, you can set up a campaign that directly sends from whomever (hiring manager, CEO) and unlike just sending a message ONE time, the campaign will send a customized message THREE times over the course of a few days. I have experienced amazing response rates after the 2nd and 3rd emails. Really, truly a VERY valuable tool.

Cons

Would love to see an ATS as part of the offering.

Pros

LinkedIn is saturated and has some limitations. Recruiters all know this. We just never had another place to go…until now. Recruitbot let’s me live outside of LinkedIn and outside of LinkedIn mailboxes. The search function on RB pulls quality resumes. I’m able to go direct to their personal inbox and “skip the line”.

Cons

N/ACan’t think of anything right now. It does exactly what I need it to do.

Pros

It's so easy to create multiple searches based on very specific criteria (i.e. experience, location, language, etc.). The outreach is amazing. Candidates feel the messages are coming from me, not an automated app.

Cons

Nothing. It's intuitive and easy to use.

Pros

Recruitbot is very user friendly. I love being able to "set and forget" I can play with the parameters in realtime to find the right set of criteria to ensure the best matches.

Cons

I would love to add industry (this might be unique to me, but I have quite a few niche searches) and be able to assign more relevant status updates.

Pros

- Candidate search and filters were excellent, 100x better than Linkedin search- Drip campaigns and templates were extremely helpful- Email support is amazing, fast response times- Helped us source and close 2-3 candidates

Cons

- UI is a bit bareboned and the UX was tough to figure out at first. I'm forgetting specific examples but I remember having to email support to figure out simple things- Inability to cancel outbound scheduled emails (I believe?)- Didn't play well with multiple emails, which I needed because some emails were getting marked as spam due to large outbound volumes- Default setting to send me an email whenever someone opened my outbound was very annoying

Pros

Marketing to emails and hiring manager and recruiter collaboration.

Cons

Nothing, it worked like I was sold it would.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use and that I'm able to lean into the ai to find quality candidates to reach out to in bulk. I also love being able to search specifically for diversity.

Cons

I've found that sometimes the data can be a little out of date, so it just means an extra click to clarify on LinkedIn before I reach out.

Pros

Responsiveness to feedback, vision and early understanding of need in the market, AI for candidate rankings, email template building and sequencing, intelligence in candidate management

Cons

basic UI design could use some optimization and enhancements.
