Hiring manager software that gets everyone on the same page

Stop chasing feedback across email chains and phone calls. Give hiring managers exactly the visibility they need – and take back the hours you spend managing them.

300+ companies powered by our software

You're spending more time managing your hiring managers than you are actually hiring.

Every time a role opens, the same cycle starts. You send updates, they don’t read them. They call to ask questions you’ve already answered. They email candidates directly – bypassing your process and damaging the experience you’ve worked hard to build. You’re spending hours each week not recruiting, but managing the people who are supposed to help you recruit.

And when something falls through the cracks – a slow response, a missed shortlist,
a candidate who accepted elsewhere – the finger points at HR.

Hiring managers aren’t the problem. A process that gives them no structure, no visibility, and no clear role – that’s the problem.

 

A reputation you could trusts

Give hiring managers a seat at the table - on your terms

Controlled visibility, not free-for-all access

Decide exactly what your hiring managers can see. Share shortlists, candidate profiles, and status updates without opening up your entire recruitment process. Managers get the visibility they’ve been asking for – you keep the control you need.

No more chasing managers for input across email threads and phone calls. Hiring managers review candidates and submit ratings and comments directly in :Recruit – so feedback lands where you need it, when you need it.dback.

Add every hiring manager who needs to be involved – without watching your licence bill climb. Scout Talent gives you unlimited free hiring manager users, so you can bring the right people into the process without the cost holding you back.

"It is straightforward to set up and use. Compared to other ATS I've used, it is the easiest system to use, and all the hiring managers have said so."

What HR professionals ask before getting started

Won't giving managers more access just create more problems?

That’s the concern we hear most about hiring management software – and it’s the exact reason we built the hiring manager portal the way we did. Managers only see what you share with them. They can review and rate candidates, leave feedback, and track progress – but they can’t edit your process  or take actions outside their defined role. You stay in control. They stay informed.

The portal is designed for people who aren’t recruiters – it’s simple, focused, and takes minutes to learn. Managers get clear notifications when action is needed, so there’s no logging in to check nothing has changed. In our experience, adoption is high when managers realise it replaces the back-and-forth, not adds to it.

Adding a hiring manager takes less than a minute. There’s no extra cost, no IT involvement, and no lengthy onboarding. Most teams have their managers active within the same day they decide to roll it out.

Hiring manager software works best when the rest of your hiring does too.

Felix is built into the same platform as your job board distribution, applicant tracking, and candidate screening tools. Write your job description, post to every board, manage every applicant, and screen for the best candidates – all without leaving :Recruit.

Applicant tracking system

Every hiring manager interaction happens inside a centralized pipeline - so nothing gets lost and you always know where every candidate stands.

Candidate screening software

Get to shortlist faster. Screening tools surface your best applicants before they ever reach a hiring manager review.

Interview scheduling software

Once your hiring manager has approved a shortlist, scheduling interviews takes minutes - no back-and-forth, no calendar conflicts.

Recruitment automation software

Keep candidates informed at every stage without manual effort. Automated comms mean your hiring managers aren't fielding candidate questions either

Better recruitment. Stronger organizations.

See how Scout Talent’s hiring manager portal gives your team the visibility they need – without taking control away from you.
