Overall, my experience with LiveHire has been very good. They have a very well thought recruitment system in place and an excellent platform for talent pooling candidates and connecting with them.
This system is very easy to use and provides an excellent snapshot of a candidates profile, the other thing I like about this system is the ease how we can communicate with candidates via text and email, however the best feature of this system is the ability to match candidates to the job before we post the job, this feature has saved us time and money in finding the right candidate.
I think the area where this system can improve is by providing the ability to produce reports on demand. There is a useful dashboard, however, sometimes our department do need some ad-hoc reports which we cannot produce via the system.

LiveHire has completely changed the candidate experience for our organisation, and has allowed me time to step back and ensure we're hitting strategic targets etc, without ever faulting on the CX. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
LiveHire is incredibly intuitive, meaning that the change management I have needed to go through to introduce the software to our organisation has been minimal. It is easy to follow and keeps the candidate experience front of mind at all times, meaning I can rest easy knowing I can't miss anything.
Hard to say - everything has been incredibly positive so far. Perhaps the spreadsheet used during implementation wasn't entirely clear, however the support is A1 so I've never had an issue.

Fantastic! Of all the ATS systems used over the years, LiveHire balances the user experience with strong functionality and a humanistic approach to hiring. Highly recommend!
LiveHire helps to bridge the gap between technology and human connection in what can be a rather impersonal experience when job seeking. The functionality to bulk msg candidates, create simple msg templates, update at speed and communicate 1:1 with talent is exceptional. The ease of integration with other innovative tech such as Xref & Enboarder has been a huge win for the TA team, reducing the steps involved & time to complete the hiring process. The LiveHire support team are always on-hand to resolve platform issues, bugs, updates in an impressive turnaround time. LiveHire work with their customer base when considering new features, updates & builds that help to enhance the experience for both the end user & candidate alike.
Only a minor con; losing draft msg when flicking between tabs & screens can be frustrating. More reporting options would be handy should business want to dig into specifics.
Hi Sophie, Thanks for your fantastic review. As of today we now preserve your draft messages when you flick between tabs on the candidate profile or even if you close the profile and come back to it. Enhancing our reporting and analytics options also remains a top priority so stay tuned for further improvements in this space coming soon. - LiveHire Team

We moved from a completely manual recruitment process to using the Live Hire software, so this has revolutionised our processes. We now have analytics, a positive candidate experience, and a proactive talent pool. Life changing.
Very logical and easy to follow recruitment process. Excellent templates for job adverts and candidate messages. Super easy to post job ads and screen candidates. Just an intuitive software package.
Disappointing that we cannot create our own application question templates, like the job ad templates. We have to ask the Live Hire team to create them on our behalf, but I think this should be a user function. Also, our project manager for the implementation was very inexperienced which made a frustrating implementation process. However I've been impressed with all other contacts within the Live Hire team.
Hi Catherine, Thanks for your great review of LiveHire. Regarding self Service Application Templates this is something we plan to provide in the future, in the meantime our dedicated Client Success team will continue to create any templates you need along with tips on how to deliver the best application experience. We receive fantastic feedback from candidates about the application experience with a >9/10 satisfaction rating/score, feel free to reach out to us for your latest survey results from candidates. Thanks The LiveHire Team

Its good. Initially it was hard to understand or explore it. Now it has become useful and easy to use.
- Advanced options like rating candidates based on their experience and skills which help in filtering out candidates. - Separate preview option to view Job Descriptions in new Tab. - Records each and every change that has been made to candidates profile in the Activity section. - More number of characters. - Able to create and select any of the Templates available while sending SMS or emails to the candidates.
- No automatic parsing of resumes. - If the candidate doesnt claim his profile there will be no option to send SMS. - After claiming profile there is no edit option to make any changes. - If the candidates email address is unknown, we are not able to invite them to Talent community. - Not User friendly as compared to BullHorn.
Hi Harshith, Thank you for your great review. We have introduced an Intternal Info section on LiveHire as an opt in feature that allows you to add structured data onto candidates after they claim their profile. Also regarding enabling SMS for candidates who haven't claimed their profile this is country legislation dependent however we are closely monitoring changes to legislation in the US and...

Excellent. The customer service is exceptional and they always go above and beyond to try and accommodate our needs. Overall, it's a very easy to use platform that engages candidates well and helps build out talent pools to work more strategically and efficiently.
What we liked the most about Livehire was the ease of use for both recruiters and hiring managers. Most of all though it enables a brilliant candidate experience and enables fast and easy communication between recruiters and candidates. We get a lot of positive feedback from candidates who really enjoy the interaction with us via Livehire.
The reporting and analytics still has some way to go. It's not easy or straightforward to pull a report or to customise for different needs within the recruitment team.

I love Livehire because it makes organizing your candidate database a breeze!
LiveHire is highly customizable and very user friendly. It pools candidates together in ways I have never seen before and has an ever-learning AI that suggests quality candidates to me. It also has a beautiful and modern interface. Moreover, the SMS feature adds a contemporary touch to older recruiting practices which is appreciated by both the user and contractor!
One of LiveHire's pros is also its con - it has too many features. LiveHire can do a lot, and in a lot of different ways. It can be easy to get lost in its many functionalities

Easy to use, less time consuming, very clear in-terms of details. increasing bond between candidate - Company, Candidate -Recruiter is the best part,
Bridging features of LiveHire between Candidate and Recruiters are best in my view. which gives the candidate a hope that the call from recruiter is not a spam .. also which strengthens the bond between company and candidate.
Exploring .. I feel Analytics part must be more clear in-terms of daily activities
Hi Rashmi, Thanks for your great review. Since you submitted your review we have launched improvements to the LiveHire Analytics Activity dashboards and also an opt in Candidate Pipeline Velocity management solution that enables you to see quick summaries of outstanding daily activities and those you or your team have performed. If you have any further suggestions for improvement feel free to reach out. Thanks, LiveHire Team
