## Reviews

> **Pros**: The applicant flow is smart and actually delivers; bringing in more, higher-quality candidates. It connects easily with your ATS, the applicabilty of Serena is flexibel if your organization grows, you can easily adapt and customize Serena whenever you need.
> 
> **Cons**: The backend offers so many options that figuring out how to set things up can feel a bit overwhelming at first. Even with a mix of young, tech-savvy and more experienced admins, we needed time to find our way. But thanks to great support and just diving in, it all comes together.
> 
> You can see that it is build from years of experience. Support is helpful and really listens to you as a customer.

### "reat and versatile CMS for recruitment, with quick support and a seamless OTYS integration" — 5.0/5

> **Fleur** | *21 September 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It’s a very easy-to-use CMS specifically built for recruitment agencies and career sites. There are plenty of options, the team has a lot of in-house expertise, and the service is great. Support emails are always handled quickly. A major plus is the integration with OTYS: our job openings are posted automatically and all applications flow directly into our CRM.
> 
> **Cons**: Because of the many options, it can sometimes take a moment to find where a specific setting is located, especially for adjustments you don't make very often.
> 
> Working with Serena has been a great experience. It’s a clear, user-friendly system with easy user management that fits our industry needs perfectly. We currently have four of our websites running on Serena, and we’ll be adding a fifth one next year.

> 
> **Pros**: The customer support team is responsive and helpful. In addition, the website has a clean, professional design and offers an intuitive user experience, making it easy to navigate and use.
>

The team is highly professional, responsive and dedicated to delivering quality. Their expertise and customer focused attitude contributed to a smooth and positive CX.

### "Serena; easy in use and accessible for everyone" — 4.0/5

> **Loes** | *23 September 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's easy to use, very accessible and the instructions are very clear. You don't need to have an extensive knowledge of Content Management Systems to use Serena. With some basic knowlegde, you can build and maintain a nice website
> 
> **Cons**: Some content pages, like testimonials, are not visible before seeing them on the actual website. In that case I don't know what the page looks like before I publicise it. &#10;Media management is in different parts of the system, so it's not always clear where the photo or video is when you want to place it on a page. &#10;Lastly, it would be nice to have an easy switch between different device views.
> 
> Serena is an easy to use, accessible CMS that makes it easy for everyone to build a (career)website. You don't need a lot of plugins and other extensions to make it work. It's just there and visible.

> 
> **Pros**: Value for money\! Ease of use and it's great to have a partner who understands the recruitment business and processes.
> 
> **Cons**: Not everything you'd like to change or add is possible. But the team is always willing to create new features.
