Trakstar Hire Reviews & Product Details

All essential features are here, but do not expect anything modern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was a great option 5-6 years ago but unfortunately team is not adding new features.

I am not talking AI - that is certainly not expected, but:

- Incomplete API, not updated for many years

- Very dated user interface circa 2005

- Complicated not intuitve navigation

- Poorly performing search (if you search for Jon, it will not find anyone who is John etc)

- No candidates database aka Talent pool - the most important thing for modern recruiting teams

- No modern features: CVs matching, meeting scheduling, candiadtes ranking, skills-based search etc

- No support for communications with candidates except for email

- Complicated views, no Kanban board view for ative candiadtes in pipeline

On top of that they are employing questionable business practices, for example they added term saying that contract will auto-renew for another year and we cannot cancel it - in small print. That make it not very suitable for any small business, unless you want to employ a lawyer to read all TOS for all online apps your team may be using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it about the hiring feedback can be subjected and seprate based on the profile.

Also there is a wide view of good bad or neutral sign which gives high level sight to the interviewer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the list of candidates by default does not show in the order i have been passed feedback.

Or atleast i might not be able to filter it because of the restriction but if this could be there it was lot more easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to collaborate and manage the hiring Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Too many links and different navigations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how organized I can stay with my interviewing process. Whenever I have a position open up I have over a hundred applicants sometimes. Trakstar gives me the ability to be in contact with all of them in some form. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if this is a company thing or a Trakstar issue. When I finally decide on a candidate and take them to the make an offer step it does not contact anyone that is involved in my corporation in the hiring process so I have to send separate communication. That's it though nothing crazy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trackstar has been a wonderful tool to add to the hiring process. What I find most useful is the tak management that is possible across several stages of interviews , each with their own panelists. I appreciate that tasks for each panelist are clearly laid out and that all interviewees materials are easy to access within the platform for me to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the features of trackstar hire but do feel like there is a learning curve to understanding how everythign is going. I did not receive any training on the platform, and am not sure if there was an intro when I first logged in, but I feel like adapting to using a new platform is the most challenging aspect across larger teams with varying technology experience.

Trakstar Hire has stellar customer service, and finds a happy medium between having customization options and being overly robust and hard to learn/use.

The platform is intuitive and simple, and although there aren't a million integrations or features, they are constantly growing the product and seeking efficiencies.

This was our first official ATS so I didn't experience any transfer issues during implementation, but regardless, the process was thorough and straight-forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It won't match the features/options of a larger ATS, and there is the occassional hiccup with something that isn't customizable or changable. Options for automation and integration are a bit limited as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how user-friendly Trakstar Hire is. It's made the whole hiring process faster and centralized for our team. The interface is intuitive in general, and I didn't need extensive training to start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Data Specialist, I feel that the reporting features could be more robust. It would be great to have more advanced analytics and customization options for generating insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It keeps the different postings separate and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) I don't like how many steps you have to take to submit your own comments with each review. I also don't like that it's not easy to see the other committee members's comments.

2) I would like a way to be able to sort the applicants alphabetically, as well as create combined lists of all the applicants (within a given posting) I gave one thumbs up, two thumbs up, etc.

3) I don't like how if a posting is extended, the next group of applicants is not kept separately. All applicants are just clumped together. As stated above in #2, maybe be able to create combined list of the applicants that came in under this posting date and a list of those who came in the extended posting date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the scoring as well as labels option. I like that I can move candidates between openings and share candidates easily with team members.

I like being able to sort by hiring stage also, from screening to telephone interview to in person interview etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that I don't have a way to export data to create an Excel spreadsheet. It seems everything has to be kept withint the system.

I also don't like that I don't have an easy way to export the application/resume materials to add to calendar invites in outlook for team members doing the interviews.

I wish I could rank candidates as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Trakstar Hire has an excellent user interface. Finally, a system that seems like it was designed by recruiters instead of techies. It has a lot of customizable features and is incredibly easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a bit of a limited scope, but if you are a small business and you're not looking for a very robust system, it's definitely a good option. Reporting is limited. Search feature is only okay. Some features could use upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
