No em-dashes. Software Advice — Description (~2,300 characters) ExactHire is applicant tracking software designed for high-volume and frontline hiring in industries like healthcare, senior living, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, and nonprofits. Purpose-built for small and midsize employers, it helps hiring teams fill hourly and frontline roles faster without adding complexity or headcount cost. Because frontline candidates live on their phones, ExactHire pairs a fast, mobile-first application with unlimited two-way candidate texting on every plan. Two-step and multi-apply flows reduce drop-off and lift completion rates, so more qualified applicants actually finish applying. Indeed Easy Apply, sponsored campaigns, and automated distribution to 25,000+ job boards expand your reach across the channels where hourly workers search. Screening and workflow tools keep your pipeline moving. Automated knockout questions and disqualification emails filter applicants before they reach your desk, while automated thank-you messages and incomplete-application reminders cut manual follow-up. Customizable pipeline stages, applicant tags, and interview guides keep evaluations consistent across locations and hiring managers. Assessment and background screening integrations shorten time to hire, and bulk candidate actions and emails make high-volume recruiting manageable. Collaboration features keep hiring teams aligned. Shared candidate notes, activity logs, @mentions, new-candidate alerts, and reusable email and text templates give everyone visibility into what is happening with each applicant. Higher tiers add job approvals, offer letters with e-signatures, calendar integration, and interview scheduling for teams that need more structured workflow. Every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited jobs, and a branded, mobile-friendly career site, so cost never scales with the size of your team. Compliance and reporting come standard, including EEOC and OFCCP reporting, affirmative action reports, real-time analytics, and a custom report builder that tracks time to hire, time to fill, and source performance. Backed by U.S.-based support and transparent tiered pricing that starts at $75/mo, ExactHire scales as your hiring demands grow. For employers that want to hand off the work entirely, optional full-service hiring support is also available. From your first job post through onboarding-ready hires, ExactHire brings speed, structure, and compliance to teams that have outgrown spreadsheets and email. > > Verdict: Rated **4.3/5** by 20 users.

Support is always helpful and answers any questions I have quickly. > > **Cons**: None at this time. I have been using them for months and I feel like I have everything I need. ----- ### "LOVE using this software\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jeanette** | *11 October 2022* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have to pick one?\! I guess it would be the fact that it is so easy to use it truly makes my HR job posting/tracking loads easier than trying to manage them all separately. > > **Cons**: 1) No word count in the job description area. It would be helpful if the job description area would A) tell us the word/space count and B) tell us what the limitations are for each job board ad. (Not sure if this is possible, but would be helpful\!) 2) When you create a Job Board ad, it would be helpful if when we searched we could tell which ones were free and which ones are paid. It takes some time to sift through all of them to find out information. > > LOVE IT\! I used ExactHire at my previous employer. When I switched companies and found the HR Team didn't have and ATS, I got approval and contacted the ExactHire team right away for a quote and implemented the new platform. What a time saver and easy to use, thank you ExactHire Team\! ----- ### "Overpromise and Underdeliver" — 1.0/5 > **Anna** | *4 December 2024* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The sales pitch is great. You'll work with friendly and organized staff. > > **Cons**: They did not have a good pool of candidates. During our contract period only 3 people were sent to us for review. None of the people sent met our basic requirements. > > Although the people with whom I had interaction from Exacthire were friendly, the overall service was lackluster. We did not receive many candidates. Of the candidates we did receive, none met our basic requirements. The sales pitch led us to believe that Exacthire would find us a candidate within the contract period. We paid upfront based on that sales pitch. We were misled almost to the point that this feels like we were swindled. With other recruiters, we do not pay until we hire a candidate. We also have a guarantee that the candidate will last for 90 days. We agreed to pay Exacthire upfront and waive the 90-day requirement. We will never recommend Exacthire based on this experience. ----- ### "HR Specialist" — 5.0/5 > **Rebecca** | *11 October 2022* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's ability to text applicants and that it's mobile friendly for users and admin\! > > **Cons**: I wish it could somehow integrate with our Payroll software, however, TBH I don't know how much helpful information we would even be able to transfer if we could. > > They are amazing at working with us, listening to our ideas for updates and new functions. They really are the best\! ----- ### "It's A No Brainer - Choose ExactHire" — 5.0/5 > **Mallory** | *17 January 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: From our side of things, the functionality is phenomenal\! Because of how intuitive the system is the ease of use is extremely high. This system allows you to quickly identified qualified candidates and keeps the hiring process very organized. The experience from creating an open position to onboarding is seamless and painless. I can message candidates and collaborate with the hiring team without leaving the ExactHire system. I don't waste precious time because I'm able to do everything I need during the hiring process from a unified platform. From the applicants perspective it is also an excellent experience\! I've received feedback from candidates stating how applying to other jobs was clunky and off-putting, but ours (ExactHire) wasn't. This gives me peace of mind knowing that the ExactHire's software isn't turning away candidates and I'm getting maximum participation from qualified applicants. Lastly, the staff at ExactHire is unbeatable\! From the customer service team, to technical staff, to management, we've always experienced exceptional support and care. Business always involves people; so, you might as well enjoy the people you have to work with. These guys rock\! > > **Cons**: I'd have to think really hard on this because the ExactHire system does what we need and more. It performs very-well, is affordable, and applicants like using it. ExactHire is a very transparent company and provides a list of upcoming features. So, as our company grows, I know the ExactHire platform will keep up with us. > > 5 Stars\! From the C-Level staff and all the way down, the culture of ExactHire places customers first. My company's success and hiring needs are their top priority. The marvelous ATS they provide is proof of that. Plus, their personable environment has made working with them a pleasant experience\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/95120/exacthire?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/95120/exacthire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
