“High Caliber Information”

Colleen B.
8/2/24

I was exceptionally impressed with the meeting with Mishanna Wood today. Her level of professionalism and research into the company I represent was quite astonishing. When I presented her with the needs we have, she clearly and precisely went over the options we have to solve the recruiting problems we are facing. I found Mishanna to be a true expert in what your company is offering. I was quite impressed with the changes that have been made, the search capabilities and the data that is available. All of which, Mishanna showed me with ease and expertise. I would hire her without hesitation. I look forward to building a relationship with her and iHire.

I got a rash of resumes - most were from other cities or contries, foreign, not at all matched with my posting. Basically not at all useful. Position was filled.

We had two jobs posted one that got tons of applications although none had experience which was stated as needed in the job post and most candidates didn't reply once you messaged them back trying to set up an interview. We have now hired a receptionist for our office but the assistant position has gone months with no traction or candidates.

Hi Praveen, thank you for reaching out to us. Many employers see lower application rates around the holidays, but once the New Year comes around they do tend to pick up. We see your positions haven’t been open for very long, and we recommend keeping them posted for at least a month, especially since the weeks they have been open were over the winter holidays. Your current subscription ends on Jan. 13, so if you’re interested in optimizing your job ads to take advantage of the New Year, please don’t hesitate to contact your dedicated Client Relationship Manager. Or feel free to contact our Customer Success Team at CustomerSuccess@iHire.com or 866-238-0161.

SCAM. Do not waste time or money on this "job service" website. Employers and potential employees both get charged. The whole premise does not work. No food service employee will pay to find an employer. So there are no candidates using the site! Also under NO circumstances give them credit card information. They retain it and auto renew your "subscription plan" without telling you. Then when you catch it and call them on it they say "our system" won't let us refund your money. Just wire cash to Nigeria if you want to get robbed!

We offer a free Basic membership with a lot of great features and benefits, including access to in-network jobs, our Resume Review tool, expert career advice, the option to make your resume searchable by employers, customizable job alert emails, and much more.

We have over 8.5 million candidates in our network and over 2 million visitors every month. Employers who post with us also get extra exposure automatically on our partner sites including many major general job boards.

We would love the opportunity to correct any issue you'ver had with iHire. I just sent you a private message through Sitejabber requesting some additional information so I can look into your experience further.

I work in a very niche industry and it is extremely difficult finding experienced and qualified people. After spending thousands of dollars with other recruiting sites and getting nowhere, I came across iHire. For the price, you simply cannot beat it. IHire has an amazing staff and their platform is very easy to use. From the salesperson who explained the options and got me started to the customer success agent who supported me throughout my journey, my experience was great! Whenever I had a question, they were always available to hop on a call with me. They helped me with search queries to narrow down potential candidates and within a couple of months we filled our open role.

I highly recommend giving iHire a try for your recruiting needs. I'll be using them for all of my future hiring!

There were PLENTY of resources available and a cover letter generator, resume review…all very helpful!

I wish it was free! $1 for seven days is a bargain, but then the cost jumps up to over twenty something a month. I'm looking for work, I am unemployed…I cannot swing that.

Hi Stacy, We’re pleased you found our job seeker resources so helpful. We think you’ll still get a lot of value out of our free Basic membership, which offers access to the Cover Letter Generator and Resume Review Tool you mentioned. You’ll also be able to view and apply to any jobs with the labels "Quick Apply," "Direct Apply," "Featured," "Sponsored," "Part-Time," "Temp/Seasonal," or "Internship,” as well as enjoy the free tips and templates in our Job Seeker Resource Center.

I thought going through this website, we would get a higher quality of candidates for our positions. However, after posting several jobs, I actually received fewer quality candidates than using other websites to post an open position.

Hi Kendy, thank you for sharing your concerns. The employment market is extremely tight right now, which makes it even more difficult to find qualified candidates.

I have noticed (on more than one occasion) that iHire is posting jobs that were available at one time, but no longer are open. In addition, there are fees associated with this group... I"d skip them...

Natalie W. – iHire Rep

Hi Gern - thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that the jobs you were trying to apply to were no longer available. We work hard to ensure the jobs advertised on our site are current and legitimate and understand how frustrating it can be to come across an ad for a position that has expired. In some cases, jobs are active when we initially share them with our members but close shortly thereafter. With this in mind, we advise all job seekers to apply to positions as promptly as possible. Additionally, if an employer has removed their job posting, it may take up to 24 hours for our system to remove it from our database.

We also offer both a free membership (basic) and a paid membership (premium). As a basic member, you can register, upload or build a resume, and search for jobs on our site. You have the option of setting your resume to “private” or “searchable,” which enables employers registered with iHire to view your resume and contact you regarding opportunities. Basic members also have free access to great job search articles and webinars on the “Career Advice” tab. As a premium member, you receive unlimited access to all of our job listings pulled from 12,000+ sources, automated job matching, email job alerts that match your ideal job, and access to iScore, our resume tool that helps you tailor your resume to specific positions and get more interviews.

If you have any additional questions, concerns, or feedback, please call Customer Success at 866-238-0161, Monday – Friday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm EST. We would be happy to assist you further!

iHire.com seems like a great place to look for industry specific professionals. After 60-days online, with the featured upgrade and the nationwide upgrade ($365) I received a grand total of zero applications. When I approached them about a refund they refused and instead offered me a free listing with the same upgrades. I went ahead with it even though I knew it was useless. I ended hearing from one applicant but he had no experience and lived four states away. Sorry buddy, I'm not going to pay to relocate someone with no experience.

Hi Shaun – thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry you had a negative experience posting your job with us, as our goal is to connect employers and hiring managers with qualified talent. We’d like to make things right. If you wouldn’t mind contacting our Customer Success Manager Lori Cole at 866-238-0161 at your convenience, we’d greatly appreciate it.

I tried premium membership for one month ($25), and it proved to be absolutely useless. All of the job postings I was interested in just redirected me to external, free websites. Basically, postings that can be found on Monster, Indeed, etc. Complete waste of money and misleading - this did not provide any inside edge. Under no circumstance did I have any phone or on-site interviews stemming from this site; all of my interviews have come from other avenues. So what is the point of Premium? Complete scam, cancelled my subscription today and may go to my credit card company to file a dispute for the charge.

Hi Brian - I am sorry to hear you had a poor experience with our site and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. One of our goals with Premium membership is to save you time by finding all of those relevant positions on Monster, Indeed, etc. and compiling them in one place. At the same time, we eliminate ads, scams, and other bogus "job postings" that clutter search results on other job sites. We also work directly with employers who post their jobs on our site, and in most cases they have a one-click apply process. In addition to finding those listings for you, our Premium membership includes the following:

-iScore resume tool - this helps you ensure your resume has the right keywords per position you apply to.
-Featured Applicant Status - you'll stand out in our in-network employer applicant/resume lists.

We also have tons of great resources in our Career Advice library, including this article on following up to help increase your application response rate:
https://www.ihire.com/careeradvice/pages/following-up-on-applications-a-job-seeker-must

I hope that helps to clarify things. Please don't hesitate to contact our US-based Customer Success team regarding your account. We can be reached at 866-238-0161, Monday – Friday 8:30 am to 5:30 pm EST.

I feel I didn't get responses in a personal manner due to the percentage aspect before I sent resumes. This was very insulting. Simple wording, not incorrect. Perhaps informing applicants so they have a chance. People lives depend on this information and in the end your company uses your services to help out by paying for help. Cancel my account.

Hi Terri - We've gone ahead and canceled your account. As our Customer Success team mentioned on the phone, in today's competitive job market, your resume must contain the right keywords to match the job posting your are applying for. This helps you make it through employers' applicant tracking systems (ATS) which automatically filter out resumes that do not match. Our iScore Resume Match tool helps you determine where you can easily make changes to your resume to include the right keywords. If you ever decide to give iHire another try, we're happy to help walk you through using the tool again.

I have had my job posted for 4 days now and have had 7 qualified candidates apply thus far! I really enjoy the platform. It is user friendly to navigate, especially the messaging center. I also receive emails with each interaction so I don't miss anything.

My account rep called me today to go over any questions I had and was very helpful. I am really excited to use this for the next few weeks. If I hire someone within the first 30 days of this ad listing, this will be my new go-to platform!

The resume and cover letter templates are great. I tailor each (minor changes) to each job description; it's efficient and easy to add notes and track progress (interviews, offers, status) directly within the website.

Also, new jobs are posted frequently, and there has been good response rate from either recruiters or hiring manager to set up a phone screen.

The actual applications are redirected to the company site or other third party application site.

From the very beginning, iHire was more helpful that any other job search website. Since many large businesses use Applicant Tracking Software, the iHire matching tool that is available on their website helps to evaluate your resume against each job description on a percentage basis. It is an excellent tool! In addition, I can't say enough about the help that was provided me through iHire's Customer Success Agent. She was invaluable in helping me improve my resume and landing the job!

With so many free sites, I have a hard time paying a high initial price tag. What little I am able to see seems to look good. It's kind of like buying a golf bag from a picture online, the $70 ones don't look much different than the $270 bags.

I had a high level, very hard to fill management position in a retained search for 18 months with no hire made. I posted the job on iHire and within 48 hours had a candidate that was hired within two weeks of getting the candidate's resume. I am on a three-month trial but I will definitely be extending to an annual agreement.

There's a great lack of review for companies posting jobs. I don't know on what end this comes from, but a Job Title should match the requirements in the description, and the salary range better match that. I've seen a few now that required degrees in fields that were higher than what the job title declared, and the salary range was easily deemed for the Job Title, not per their job requirements and experience.
Jobs posting as remote, but then in descriptions want someone to be onsite, or go to the job site... isn't Remote work. Remote is being able to work from home... not "Having to travel to such and such location." These things are not checked by IHire, and paints a bad light, and dampens the expectation of actually finding something I'm looking for.

My resume was according to the view properly formatted and used a proper font selection. The stand out is your site advised a summary of experience type of opening. This summary of skills has been marked obsolete, and according to the other site is not preferred even in the cover letter.

Such inconsistency in resume building advise leaves me conflicted as to whether the profession of Resume Writer and the advise provided by sites is to be trusted. This made all the worse when I have been searching for work for quite some time.

Thank you for your feedback, Stephan. IHire’s Resume Review tool provides a high-level analysis of your resume to ensure you are following best practices for modern resume writing. Although we cannot speak to the advice that you received from other resources, including a brief paragraph summarizing your key skills and qualifications at the top of the resume is very important, and we recommend labeling that section of the resume as “summary” or “career profile.”
