The process is really smooth and consistent. You can choose which elements and boards you want to use, so making each campaign bespoke to the role. I get an update on monthly basis as to where we are with our account. When posting new roles, they respond quickly to get the role advertised as quickly as possible, but not without giving you tips on how to attract better or more candidates. > > **Cons**: The ATS but thats not because it isnt good, we just have to do a work around when sorting CVs and going through selection process. If we didnt have our own ATS this wouldnt be an issue and would be ideal to use just theres. > > We have used Hireful for a long while, we left for one year, and came straight back. It was a no brainer for us, we get fabulous service and they make our lives easier. ----- ### "Good Starter ATS" — 4.0/5 > **Zoe** | *3 April 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It helps us manage high volumes of candidates and to communicate easily with them, ie to reject or invite for an interview > > **Cons**: It can be a bit clunky, for example, if you want to add quite a lot of comment when releasing roles to agencies it's not that easy to type into. Sometimes it decides not to automatically shortlist or to unpublish itself but this is not a regular occurrence. > > It's helping us to be more GDPR compliant and manage high volume recruitment. It has saved us 0.75 of a person by storing and managing the applicants. ----- ### "Hireful Review" — 3.0/5 > **Jeanette** | *1 May 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use- self explanatory Great webinars and training guides Interview scheduler makes it easier to arrange interviews Bulk status changes Enhanced candidate and hiring manager experience Supportive, informed and friendly account director > > **Cons**: Minimal customisations in comparison to others ATS’ we have used Unable to customise dashboard Unable to change source of applicant which leads to issues if they have been referred as it will not track in the costings tab Notes- not customisable, no formatting available. Reports- inaccurate information – not able to pull data required Product team-do not develop any of the suggestions or provide a development timescale Unable to publish on job boards where we have an existing relationship in place > > I believe the system would suit smaller companies, it does not meet the requirements we need from an ATS ----- ### "Outstanding Customer Support and Great Value\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nicky🎯** | *12 January 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hireful has been a game-changer for our recruitment process.

We’ve saved time, improved candidate experience, and reduced costs—all thanks to Hireful. Highly recommend to any business looking for reliable recruitment software with top-notch support\! > > **Cons**: Reporting could be a bit more easy to use, but I asked for training in this and hireful where only to helpful to ensure I was getting what I needed from the system > > Excellent support and service as and when you need it, helping your recruitment task streamlined and easy to hire. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/205387/hireful?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/205387/hireful) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
