Best Recruiting Software

Set and stick to your budget, preferably finding a solution that can scale with you as your workforce and its needs grow.
- Determine your "must-have" features vs. "nice-to-have" features.
- Test the software for overall functionality and user-friendliness before you commit to a purchase.
- Consider software that can be customized to accommodate your organization’s specific needs, for example, in reporting, job requisitioning and white-labeled career pages.
- Choose recruiting software that integrates easily with other software and apps you use.
- Verify that the software assures an unbiased recruiting process and promotes diversity and inclusion through features like anonymous screening and interview scorecards.


Top Recruiting Software Features


The features you’ll need in your recruiting software will depend on your specific needs. Companies with modest hiring programs typically only require basic features, such as job posting and candidate tracking. Enterprise-level organizations and recruiting agencies with more sophisticated recruitment needs require a wider variety of features-like automated sourcing and candidate matching-to handle the recruitment process from job requisition through onboarding.


Here are popular features you can expect to see in the best recruiting software:


Job requisition management. In most organizations, you can only conduct a candidate search once the position is approved. That’s why it’s helpful if your recruiting software provides job requisition management, preferably as a customizable option, so you can adjust the software to align with your organization’s exact requisition process.
Job posting. Most recruiting software solutions let you choose where and how your jobs are posted online. Many, such as ZipRecruiter, allow you to post jobs on more than 100 job boards with just one click.
Automated sourcing.
