Terrible experience from start to finish
I wish I never signed up for RecruiterFlow. I've got a long list of reasons why, here's the ones I can think of off the top of my head
- It's both a CRM and an ATS. It's the best at neither. I think it could be good if you upgraded to the AIRA plan, but that's only available as an annual plan for $2400 per user per year. So for a team of 3, It's $7200 upfront to be able to use the AI features. There's no way I would ever pay that for a software in an age where I could use Claude Code to build a fully custom one.
Without paying the $7200, you're limited in the functionality you'd expect in a CRM, which makes the CRM worse than basically every $50 - $100/month CRM. Once I realized that, I was paying $200/month per user for an ATS that's okay, but far from ideal. If it was $200/month, I probably would've dealt with it. At $200/user/month, with a team of 3, I'd be paying $600/month for an ATS. There's far better options out there. I switched to Ashby.
- The customer service isn't good. They say customer service is available 24/5 (Idk why not 24/7), but it takes like 4-6 hours to get a response on the live chat. Which I definitely wouldn't consider 24 hour a day support.
- There's a lot of things with the ATS that don't make sense. Example: It doesn't parse resumes automatically. If you want the resume parsed, you have to do it one by one. I asked their team if they could update that and they said no, and that I should just make my application page longer to include the info that's already on their resume (Like their work history). It seems like a very simple problem for their dev team to solve, they didn't seem interested in solving it.
- Their migration process seems intentionally difficult. Once I switched ATSs, there was no information on how to migrate out. They told me to book a call, and they had limited availability that didn't work for me. In that time, I couldn't cancel my subscription because the resumes were still saved in RecruiterFlow. When I finished migrating my data, I requested a refund for the period in between when I wanted to migrate out, and they said no.
They have a great careers page. Everything else, I didn't like about RecruiterFlow. I know now that there's better options. I wish I would have spent more time looking into those other options before signing up with RecruiterFlow.
