## Reviews

### "30 interviews =\> 6 interviews" — 5.0/5

> **Alex** | *17 July 2023* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I recently had to close three positions using Hirenest. It was a fantastic experience\! I could easily create assessments for each role, as Hirenest provides templates for me (front-end developer, back-end developer, and QA engineer). Assessments included personality, cognitive aptitude, situational judgment, and skill proficiency tests. This helped me to better compare candidates before inviting them for an interview and filter out a lot of “pretenders”.
> 
> **Cons**: The support team was okay but could be faster.
> 
> Previously, I was interviewing about 10 candidates to close a single position. But with Hirenest, I conducted just six interviews and hired three people. It’s a game-changer for me, for sure. The overall experience exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely satisfied with the results.

### "It helps a lot with large volume hiring" — 5.0/5

> **Juliana** | *31 July 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use. I hadn't spent two hours learning how to use it.
> 
> **Cons**: I want more types of personality tests: 16types, DISC, etc
> 
> It's super easy - click-click-click. The displays are easy, the panels are easy, and the dashboards are easy.

### "Incredibly helpful tool\!" — 4.0/5

> **Kate** | *19 July 2023* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Most amazing thing about hirenest is its pricing. It's very affordable even for a very early stage startup. It really helps to filter out bad candidates. And trust me, there is a lot of them\!
> 
> **Cons**: Customer response time could be better, but it's okey.
> 
> Overall, this is a good tool for people who want to speed up their hiring time and evaluate candidates automatically - they allow to invite hundreds of candidates free of charge. Recommended\!

### "Hirenest does its job" — 5.0/5

> **Ernest** | *24 May 2023* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Hirenest array of assessments, adaptable to various roles and skills. ATS is a very useful function because several hundred candidates are often invited, it is easy to manage them. Public assessment link is must have for me, eliminating the need to send hundreds different links. This tool had definitely made our recrutimetn process fasters and more efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: None at the moment, I will update this feedback if I encounter anything.

>
