Rakuna review
A focused campus recruiting suite combining event workflows, AI resume capture, and ATS connections.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Rakuna is recruiting software for employers managing campus, career-fair, virtual, and hybrid recruiting. It combines mobile resume scanning, candidate data capture, event planning, evaluations, follow-up communications, collaboration, analytics, and applicant tracking system integrations. Web, iOS, and Android support make it relevant for recruiting teams working across event locations, while its positioning spans small teams through larger employers and Fortune 500 organizations.
The product’s strongest area is event execution. AI-enabled OCR supports resume capture, including offline collection when connectivity is limited. Recruiters can search and filter a central candidate database, use customizable evaluation forms, coordinate with hiring managers in a shared event workspace, and automate candidate follow-up emails. That combination gives teams a structured path from event interaction to candidate review and continued communication. Rakuna also includes interview scheduling, recruiting CRM, text recruiting, and resume screening capabilities, extending its use beyond the event itself.
Rakuna uses a paid, pay-by-event subscription model based on event credits. That structure fits teams that organize recruiting around defined event programs, but teams with highly variable calendars should assess how event-based purchasing aligns with their workflow. Its ATS ecosystem includes Workday, Taleo, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Lever, Avature, and SAP SuccessFactors, supporting organizations that already manage applicant records in established systems. Choose Rakuna if campus events are central to recruiting and mobile, offline, collaborative workflows matter. Consider another option if university career-center relationships are a primary requirement or if a broader academic engagement focus is more important than employer event operations.
