Overall Satisfaction with SilkRoad Recruiting

We use SilkRoad Recruiting across our entire university. Every hire is processed through this system. Before using SilkRoad Recruiting, we utilized a paper application process. We would receive resumes and applications via fax, scan, and hard copy. This process was time-consuming and inefficient.
SilkRoad Recruiting helped us not simply turn our paper process into an electronic one; it helped us completely re-vamp the way we do recruitment across campus. Now the entire process from requesting a job, to approving and pricing it, to posting, to hiring a candidate is done in this system.

Pros

  • SilkRoad Recruiting is very user-friendly and easy to learn
  • SilkRoad Recruiting integrates with Single Sign-on for easy access across the organization
  • SilkRoad Recruiting has automatic job posting to industry-leading job boards

Cons

  • The reporting features are not very intuitive
  • Significant reduction in time to post positions (2+ weeks to 1-2 days from request to posting)
  • Significant increase in applicant volume (3 times more applications per job opening)
SilkRoad Recruiting is a good applicant tracking system overall. It is simple to use - especially for internal users. It's a great system for organizing a recruiting workflow. It is also a great system for advertising jobs, as SilkRoad has partnerships with many of the top job boards and job search engines such as Indeed, Glassdoor, etc. Through these partnerships, jobs are posted automatically, thereby saving time and money.
