Top 10 recruiting software platforms

Finding a good recruiting software platform shouldn't be guesswork. Here are the 10 best based on business software review site G2 Crowd's rankings for 2017.

Finding a good recruiting software platform shouldn't be guesswork, and selecting a option can't just be based on features, bells and whistles. Ease of use, scalability and the capability to customize solutions to meet your individual company's needs also are critical factors best discerned by talking to your peers and industry experts.

That's where G2 Crowd comes in. The business software review site uses feedback from its user community, social media and other online sources, as well as anonymous customer reviews to develop rankings of a wide range of business applications -- including recruiting software.

The latest G2 Crowd report for 2017 is based on hundreds of reviews written by HR and recruiting professionals.
