Pros and cons

The kanban board feature makes it really easy to find where people are in a given pipeline. There are some really good Integrations as well with popular tools like Zoom.
This product is very powerful. I like the career website, I like the workflow that is built in, and the onboarding task lists.
Love the ease of use, setup, intuitive settings and user friendly dashboards. Very little explanation needed for this product.
The customer service was quite poor and was a major driver to me leaving for another recruiting system.
I don't feel that, there is some feature missing yet.
Some basic features are missing, like the company tree, which makes no sense not to have, especially when you can see a tree for an individual employee.

ATS for New/growing companies

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall all, the experience using this application was pleasant and very efficient specially when collaborating tasks to team members.

Pros

What I like about this application is that it is intuitive, easy to use and very eye catching.

Cons

From time to time, you can feel that there is downtime, especially if your database of candidates starting to get big.

One of the best & modern HRMS solution

Reviewed 7 months ago
Pros

Freshteam has a lot of features starting from employee management, HR, leave management, time-off management, etc. Despite having a lot of features using the application is not complicated and everything is so well designed that using the software is super easy, the UI & UX is just awesome. I really like the time-off and leave management system.

Cons

The only thing to frown upon is that, its great for enterprises but when it comes to small organizations it becomes costly, and the free version has a lot of limitations, because of which when it comes to small orgs and startups, they look for other alternatives.

brought our company's HR team out of the stone age

Reviewed 5 years ago

This software helped me to impress the HR team and my bosses. Within minutes of demonstration of the proof of Concept I setup (also took minutes), we transitioned from our old pencil and paper HR tracking system to using Freshteam.

Pros

Our company used to do all hiring and HR work with pen and paper. This product has allowed us to intuitively automate most of that work away allowing for efficiencies for our small team that we never dreamed of. We are also very pleased with how integrated the solution is with our other Freshworks solutions. We are looking forward to growing our company with this tool

Cons

It doesn't integrate into our SSO the way we would like. For example, we think it would be nice to be able to have new employees transition directly into our systems with a specific role when hired. We have also had some trouble getting DKIM to work properly with the email forwarding, but we only need to ask the support team for help. They've been very quick on the draw in the past and we know we just need to identify issues to get them resolved.

Great starter HRIS

Reviewed a year ago

It works well for what we need. I could not imagine using this system with more than 30 employees though.

Pros

CHEAP! This is one of the most affordable and feature-rich options in the HRIS world.

Cons

Their customer service is abysmal. Constant turnover, really annoying scripts and processes from the 80s. Service has gotten worse over the past 2 years and integrations are almost all paid.

ANother great offering by Freshworks

Reviewed 4 years ago

Very positive, I have recommended it to clients on multiple occasions.

Pros

As an executive at a startup I am a big fan of most of Freshworks offerings. I have extensive experiance in the ATS space, for an out of the box ATS solution that is easy to deploy you can't go wrong with Freshteam. The low TCO makes it easy to scale from a budget standpoint.

Cons

Some UI areas could use some work, and Freshworks needs to maybe assign more resources to the knowledgebase support side of things.

Great ATS with amazing UI

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Its User experience is good. As we are a team of 200 People, its easy to track multiple profiles under one Application tracking system and we found Freshteams after researching multiple other platforms and it is comfortable to use it. We have been using the same from last more than 1 year

Cons

Nothing as such right now what I can think of. I am really happy that it is integrated with other job boards like indeed and linkedin. Yes, as it is integrated with career website as well, there, the UI can be improved.

Great Tool for an HRIS Database

Reviewed a year ago

We never had an HRIS platform that we used globally before. This is the first time we have consolidated all this information in one place.

Pros

The most robust tool that we use in Freshteam is the HRIS portion. We use this as an employee database to track communications, contracts, and information. We went through a fundraising round and had to consolidate all of this information onto Freshteam quickly, and the process was super easy and streamlined!

Cons

We cannot connect it to our payroll software (Justworks) to upload information automatically.

Miranda's FreshTeam review

Reviewed 2 years ago

We were using this for hiring, but now we primarily use freshdesk just for customer service.

Pros

It was easy to use and navigate, made it easier to keep track of candidates and current statuses of applicants.

Cons

Was not always intuitive, felt like if there was a way to keep track of previous applications and hiring decisions. Would also be helpful to be able to merge candidates from different channels (i.e. facebook and indeed)

Great ATS tool for small organizations who want to optimize on recruiting

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The core recruit is a winner. Of all the tools in the market, we found Freshteam ATS to be effective and optimized for companies who would like to do quality interview and hire the best. The UX is just superb

Cons

The licensing is quite stringent. We have lot of candidates apply for various positions. The ATS filters applications as per the defined rules. However there are lot of misses. We worked with the support and they resolve case by case. This resulted in exhausting the parsing numbers for that month quickly. FT is quick enough to bump up the numbers. Kudos to their team.

Good enough for small businesses

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

Some of the best features of this product was the graphic user interface (GUI) and ease of use. The system is very straight forward to use and is best suited for small businesses with not a lot of recruiting needs. It can get quite expensive if you need a lot of hires and you don't get much more for the added costs.

Cons

The customer service was quite poor and was a major driver to me leaving for another recruiting system. The site boasts the ability to post jobs on major job boards but that feature rarely worked so I ended up having to do the extra postings manually anyway.

Pros

My recruitment team loves the ease of use of this software and their favorite feature has been the ATS and having the flow of various stages in recruitment. They've also found it extremely convenient to manage all of their job posting from one platform.

Cons

I think apart from the integration with our careers page which was quite cumbersome and we had to abide by freshteams layout everything else about the software has been quite good.

Essential for any busy HR Department

Reviewed 2 years ago

Employees are able to change their own personal details rather than coming through HR Employees can view contracts and benefits information rather than coming through HR HR can access salary information and dates salaries changed

Pros

FreshTeam is easy for employees to use and keep their details updated, additional fields can be added to make the information relevant and being able to do reports can save time for a busy HR department.

Cons

We have staff who book holiday hourly so are unable to use the holiday feature at present, we have been assured the feature will be available soon.

Freshteam is an easy-to-use and robust Org Chart and Directory builder, with features to spare

Reviewed 4 years ago

Freshteam has given a new lease on life, so to speak, to our HR team and dramatically improved our tracking and maintaining information about our teams.

Pros

The interface is sleek and intuitive. It's incredibly easy to set up and get an Org Chart started, and build an employee directory with as much or as little information as you need for your company's needs. Additional custom fields can be added, and existing fields can be removed if they're irrelevant to your needs.

Cons

Each user needs an individual email account, which makes it hard to track teams where some eployees only use a shared/team email account. It also doesn't have much in the way of customizing the little overview cards for employees, so you can end up with irrelevant information showing there, or miss out on relevant info that you end up having to click into the full view to see (such as Phone number)

Highly recommendable for those who don't have a proper ATS and have the need to manage several recruiting processes.

Pros

The recruiting functionalities. Its integrated with several job boards, we can sponsor and manage almost everything in one place. Also ensures that no candidate is left without an answer and/or a proper follow up.

Cons

The integration with linkedin is not fantastic. The absence management and the team calendars are not integrate with google calendar.
