If you’re an SMB that’s just getting started with ATSs, Breezy is worth checking out. It covers everything you’d need from an ATS, and tops it off with video interviewing, and offer management tools built-in.
- Breezy has video interviewing and offer management capabilities built-in. Hiring managers can schedule interviews, video chat with candidates, send them offer letters and collect e-signatures within Breezy without needing to integrate it with third-party tools.
- Breezy is fairly easy to use. Their recruitment pipelines are drag and drop enabled, and you don’t need coding knowledge to create and edit your career site.
- Breezy’s solution is quite affordable and has a free plan with seasonable functionality.
- Several users have reported experiencing bugs and system crashes. Some have also complained that the reporting feature lacks customizability and at times, displays inaccurate data.
- Several users have complained about Breezy’s customer support being slow to respond. At this time, priority support is only given to Business tier (or higher) customers.
- Breezy doesn’t go beyond offer management by offering onboarding features, but it does integrate with many HRISs that facilitate it.
What's Inside
Breezy is a hiring software designed for small and medium-sized businesses. Through it, you can build a no-code career site to showcase your employer brand, post jobs to over 50 job boards to reach a wide pool of candidates, and receive referrals from employees and other contacts. Once applications are in, you can begin tracking applicants through your customizable recruitment pipeline and move them across stages via drag and drop.
To speed up the candidate vetting process, Breezy allows you to automate several processes including sending messages, questionnaires, and assessments to candidates, as well as capturing team feedback. You can also have Breezy automatically advance or disqualify candidates based on their answers.
As for candidate screening, Breezy offers scheduling and video interviewing capabilities which we think is neat. Candidates can self-schedule interviews, and all scheduled interviews appear in a shared view accessible by all of your team. While video interviewing candidates, Breezy displays candidate resumes, scorecards, and real-time notes right there on the screen so you can have pertinent information on hand.
Another thing we like about Breezy is that it has offer management features built-in. This means you can create offer letters, share them with successful candidates and collect their e-signatures within Breezy, without needing to integrate it with third-party tools.
All in all, we think Breezy is a solid ATS. It covers everything you’d need from an ATS and then some, and it’s worth checking out if you’re an SMB looking to improve your candidate sourcing, screening, and hiring processes.
Breezy was built with small and growing companies in mind. With its current functionality, it isn’t able to fulfill the complex needs of large companies and recruitment agencies, hiring more than 100 employees a year.
