What do you like best about Cornerstone Recruiting?

I like the Manage Candidates page where recruiters can use filters to view candidates based off of location, interview stage and even application answers (ex: see all the candidates who replied yes to a certain skill) You can also set up application questions to knock out candidates based off of their response. But you can't customize the email those candidates get or delay that email by even a few minutes which is poor candidate experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Recruiting?

You can't customize the rejection emails for candidates who get automatically rejected on a pre-screening filter, nor can you delay that email by even a few minutes which is poor candidate experience. Their career site capabilities are so limited and the interface for candidates is outdated. You can't build scorecards in the ATS so you can't gather feedback from interviewers within the system like other ATS'. Absolutely no Ai and no plans for it either which makes me believe their not following up with the industry advancements. Customer support is barely existant. New feature releases or enhancements barely happen. Reporting is basically exporting spreadsheets or raw data. ATS can't be used on Mobile devices. etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Recruiting solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have team members across the globe and Cornerstone can work in different languages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cornerstone Recruiting?

I love the ability it has provided for our institution to move our paper files and job postings online. Cornerstone Recruiting made it easier for applicants to apply and be considered. We used to have paper applications mailed to us constantly now, it is all online. It is easy to manage new hires and where they are within the process. Online onboarding is a huge bonus, and we all receive compliments on how simple it is to complete your onboarding before you even arrive for your first day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cornerstone Recruiting?

The system does allow recruiters to easily review / move candidates through the recruiting funnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Recruiting?

Every part of the system is overly complex, cumbersome, inflexibile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Recruiting:

Like all companies, I'm sure Cornerstone sold my company on their recruiting capabilities, but there were no recruiting subject matter experts on the team to dive deeply enough to see how the system actually works. Other products are much easier to set up and use, and add more flexibility to communicate with applicants, hiring managers, and the interview team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Recruiting solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to Cornerstone, recruiting was completed via email / paper. At least with Cornerstone there is more automation and structure to the recruiting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cornerstone Recruiting?

If you know the Cornerstone software well, then you should be able to easily figure out how to configure the Recruiting module. It has a lot of surprising options that you can enable. Frequent updates and enhancments.

Majority of new hires are happy with the process the system provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Recruiting?

Difficulty managing re-hires. There is no solid solution for re-hires, which is causing a lot of manual work and duplicated records.

New features are still missing some of the old functionality, which is why we can't deploy those to users.

Having to recreate and reapply the job templates every time a change is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Recruiting solving and how is that benefiting you?

Cornertone Recruiting works. We have been able to hire through the system for the past few years and most of the requirements are available in this system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenna Coleman of Cornerstone Recruiting
