What do you like best about hackajob?

Admittedly, I was unsure whether Hackajob would meet our recruitment needs as it was launching into a new market for us. However, it has proven to be an invaluable tool for our team at Kainos. The platform has significantly streamlined our hiring process, allowing us to connect with highly qualified candidates more efficiently!

Since integrating Hackajob, we’ve seen a significant increase in the quality of our candidate pool and a reduction in time-to-hire. The platform’s intelligent matching system ensures that we are presented with candidates who not only have the right skills but also fit our company culture. We have our first Hackajob lead joining next month, for a role that was historically difficult to fill. And additional prospects currently being explored - hoping there will be more Kainos employees coming from Hackajob in the coming months :)

A special shoutout to Hackajob Intelligence for their innovative approach and continuous support. Their insights and analytics have been useful in refining our recruitment strategy and achieving our hiring goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Some minor functionality and accessibility issues with the platform. Apart from that I have limited recommendations for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is hackajob solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gives us access to some candidates that we're unable contact directly due to a mutual agreement among partners within this specific ecosystem, we are unable to directly approach candidates currently employed within this network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob has excellent candidate-matching functionality to connect us to the most relevant profiles. Their new AI-led "intelligence" platform is much more effective at identifying niche talent and matching skills to a JD, allowing us to locate candidates we would have missed before. Candidates are vetted by their team and are generally very receptive to discussing job opportunities. They take pride in taking a leading positon in the UK tech sector and have a highly engaged community of talent. I find our account managers to be knowledgeable, strategic and tuned in to the needs of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Hackajob have a broad and engaged client base that you are effectively competing against to secure the top candidates. however I have found that we rarely miss out on the candidates we offer to. its important your recruitment processes are efficient and champion the candidate experience in order to have success. There are some areas of IT where they do not have a broad pool of candidates but the Intelligence platform is much more flexible at indentifying suitable candidates or helping to attract them in. We have seen notable success hiring a diverse group of candidates and at senior levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is hackajob solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are trying to hire niche technical talent that is in high demand and often bombarded by headhunts and Linkedin messages.. Hackajob helps us identify candidates with a strong match to our requirements and connects us with candidates who are actively seeking a new role. It can help match relevant profiles to our job specs and unearth candidates with niche experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about hackajob?

I can always rely on Hackajob to get top quality Engineers in process quickly. I've been using the platform for the past year and have made 10 hires so far, with a few more still in process. giffgaff pride themselves on having a high quality of code and in the past we haven't seen many candidates pass the interview process. This year we've had much greater success and our conversion rates have improved because of the quality of candidates coming through from hackajob. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

I can't use it for all my roles unfortunately. Its better for Tech and Data roles from my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is hackajob solving and how is that benefiting you?

hackajob tackles unconscious bias by removing names from profiles. It's super clear for me to see diversity split across gender and ethnicity which is something the business wants us to report on. I can use Hackajob to write an advert, checking whether the language is appropriate for the audience and not leaning more masculine. The new AI feature has been great as it highlights all the tech I've included in a search on a profile, and when you hover over the word it tells you more about it. This has been super helpful for me as a recruiter to help me learn more about the tech I'm hiring for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Honestly, I haven't come across anything negative! The only suggestion was 'saving' candidates when reviewing, however this feature has now been implemented, kudos to the team for how quickly theyve worked to get this sorted! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about hackajob?

In the last few months we had a project where you guys took a tricky planning role with a niche toolset requirement and went away and did some sourcing for it. We had a VC and then held weekly meetings when the Hackajob guys presented candidates to me – I really felt listened to and these guys really understood the requirements I had.

This was really helpful for me and even produced some new insights and feedback for the Hiring Manager regarding how tricky the toolset was to find at that grade. We didn’t find what we were looking for at that time, but did allow the HM to have a think about what they could let go.

Hackajob intelligence is great, I love that it saves me scouring the whole CV and I can read the AI summary. This is especially helpful for those with niche toolsets - if what I want isn't there I can move on quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

That I can't use it for all of my roles! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is hackajob solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping me find candidates I wouldn't ordinarily find on other search engines, and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob is the easiest platform for sourcing IT candidates. It provides valuable market salary insights, helping me evaluate if our salary bands align with candidate expectations.

The platform interface has significantly improved over the year—navigating candidate CVs is now seamless. The AI tool is a huge time-saver, highlighting relevant experience and providing summaries for each CV.

The quality of candidates is excellent, and features like easy interview scheduling and the new direct application invitation option, make hiring process much easier. Also would like to highlight how engaged and responsive Hackajob candidates are.

And last but not least, HUGE thanks to Olivia Taylor for all her invaluable support and guidance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob is quick, simple to use & effective. You put in what you're looking for, salary, location ect and it will show you people who match which makes it simpler to go through instead of scrolling through irrelevant candidates for that role.

Cuts sourcing time in half & brings up candidates who are open to work, more engagement and a quick process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Depending on the role there could be a number of candidates that are spoken with, it would be nice for Hackajob to give alerts if I haven’t given feedback in a week or more to make me aware in case there are candidates I have forgot to get back to or has slipped through.

It isn’t a huge issue, everything else is great this is just something I thought about recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is hackajob solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has giving us people who are interested in working with BT, I had two roles recently that i had multiple interviews for with no success - I found someone in Hackajob for both roles and within a week of speaking to them, they had interviews, offered & signed their contract to join.

Hackajob takes my request and shows me the most relevant people which is great, and what the recruitment industry needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about hackajob?

Hackajob has been a dream platform to work with, from the ease and simplicity of navigating the platform, to the calibre of the candidates, to the AMAZING support and guidance from Sophie Ayres, the Senior Customer Success Manager allocated to us.

I decided to exclusively advertise some of our roles on Hackajob, and had our first hire within a matter of weeks.

Definitely will be continuing to use for other roles and strongly recommeding to the rest of the team to utilise!!

HUGE shout out to Sophie who has made this experience so seamless, rewarding and fun :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

Not loads to say here, maybe just that there were very few candidates for one super niche role I was hiring for - but that's not abnormal as see this myself when using various other avenues to hire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is hackajob solving and how is that benefiting you?

Definitely helping with our diversity hiring - see a lot more highly skilled IT professionals on Hackajob from more diverse backgrounds :)

As well as this, because all the matches are so relevant, it is very time effective as avoids having to filter unsuitable applicants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about hackajob?

I recruit for product and hosted operations roles, the candidate quality has been excellent & you can connect to candidates quickly. The new intelligence tools enables us to identify candidates on industry experience and provides us with insight onto skills and experience. Our Account Manager, Maddy is fantastic, she assists on making our roles more accessible, quick to add new positions and answer any other queries we have! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about hackajob?

I think this platform is really user friendly, some additional job types such as fixed term contract would be really beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is hackajob solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quality and accessibility to qualified candidates has been a struggle using other platforms for sourcing. We get high volume of matches across our roles and the quality of candidates is exceptional, it is clear that they have been qualified by the HackaJob team before creating accounts which saves us time as Recruiters when getting shortlists together.
