How to choose recruiting software
6 criteria · Requirements by company size · 6 red flags
Start with your bottleneck, not a feature list. If you lose track of applicants, you need a solid applicant tracking system. If too few qualified people apply, you need job distribution, sourcing and a CRM. If too many apply, you need screening you can explain. If interviews take a week to book, you need self-scheduling. Buy for that job first, then check that the rest of the stack connects.
Then run one real job through a trial, from posting to signed offer, with a hiring manager who has not seen the tool. Get the price in writing for your company size, including add-ons such as texting, video interviews, assessments and AI credits, which several vendors sell separately.
ATS only or a full recruiting suite
A suite keeps sourcing, CRM, scheduling and tracking in one record, so nothing needs syncing. Point tools can go deeper on one job but add logins and integrations. Pay for the layers that fix your bottleneck, not for every module.
Sourcing and candidate CRM
People who are not job hunting never see your ads. Sourcing tools search profile databases or add profiles from a browser extension, and a CRM keeps talent pools and outreach sequences so past applicants can be found again.
AI screening you can explain and audit
AI that scores or ranks applicants is a selection procedure. You answer for its disparate impact even if a vendor built it, so you need the reason behind each score and data to check impact by race, sex and ethnic group.
Interview scheduling
Slow scheduling loses candidates and eats recruiter time. Self-scheduling from the interview panel's live calendars removes most of the back-and-forth.
Hiring manager experience
Hiring managers decide whether the data stays current. If feedback or approvals take more than a few taps, scorecards arrive late and the record goes stale.
Background checks and FCRA steps
The FTC says you need a stand-alone written notice and written permission before you order a report, a notice with a copy of the report and a summary of rights before any adverse action, and a final adverse action notice.
