### "Pretty great tracker"

September 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

I used this when i was in recruiting and it was a great app for tracking candidates and sourcing good resumes amongst 100s coming in every day. It had the ability to send a rejection message when appropriate but could not (at the time and maybe this has changed since) send one at a suggested future date which was our practice especially because we couldnt reject as soon as the resume came in (ex:if the resume is blatantly not of our requirements and in our niche world it was easy for that to be the case). That was the only major area for improvement. Other than that it did a good job in tracking candidates and making our recruiting lives easy!

Cons

It used to not be able to let you send a rejection note at a future date but maybe that has changed now?

### "My Jobvite experience in the first 6 months"

April 28, 2019

4.0

Overall, I think, JV is an underused application with what it could do an as a recruitment tool, reporting tool, and an administrative user tool. However, there have been situations when asked to run a particular report. One would think, JV would be able to run it because those fields are in options fields within the program. Unfortunately, some of our report requests are not available. There's always room for improvement.

Pros

I like there are many things I like about JV. Figuring they system out wasn't as difficult as I anticipated. I learned fairly quickly how to maneuver around the system. I really like learning what I can get out of the reports and still learning there is so much more there is to be learned throughout the system.

Cons

There are some things that I don't like about this ATS, in general, as there is a lot of toggling around to different screens which takes time. However, I haven't had much experience working with other ATS's to make a fair comparison. There has been frustration getting instant online help in a timely manner. JV may or may not have this as an option, but online learning courses. I use this ATS, not as a recruiter, but more as an administrator monitoring all new WW jobs posted to ensure all new postings have continuity, consistent messaging, spelling errors, along with a gender-neutral tone.

### "Current Jobvite User"

December 8, 2016

3.0

Jobvite was a step up for my company. We out grew our former ATS about 2 years ago. With that said I do not feel that Jobvite it the right fit for our organization. Once our 2 year contact is up I don't foresee us renewing. My company needs to be able to field hundreds of applicant's through our ATS daily. It became very clear shortly after using Jobvite that this software is not meant for a company like mine. It lacks small features that I need as a Staffing Manager, in order for my tasks to be efficient. We initially offered to pay more money if they needed to customize any software but they do not do that. You have to post your change to a forum where people can vote on it. The ones with the most votes gets applied in the release. This is fine in theory but if no other companies are endorsing the idea you post to the forum it leads me to believe that Jobvite can not handle the type of recruiting we do and does not have many companies like ours. Which should have made clear to us in the initial stages of negotiation.

Pros

1\. Great Level 1 Customer Service representatives, all you do is call in and someone can help you with a simple question or problem almost immediately. I use this feature often. 2. The site is user friendly, it was easy to teach members of my team how to use it. 3. Publisher tool is awesome! Very easy to post jobs to all social media outlets.

Cons

1\. Sub par Level 2 Customer Service Reps, when a level 1 person can not answer your question they pass it off to a level 2 Rep. These level 2 Reps that are assigned to your case are hard to get a hold of. They are reluctant to get on the phone with you. I have had 2 separate instances where I had been passed to a level 2 Reps, I was not impressed with their customer service skills. 2. When we went through the integration process we had many meetings with the integration Rep assigned to use but towards the he fizzled out. We were not fully integrated and he passed us off to the customer service line for further questions.

### "Useful, but with a lot of margin for improvements"

September 21, 2021

3.0

It has a lot of potential, but some time should be spent in improving the user interface and the user experience

Pros

Potentially you can see the whole story of the candidate, starting from they early application ending with the result of the application itself. You have also one single place where to check their resume and skills and provide your own feedback.

Cons

Its user interface is very chaotic. It could possibly depend on how an user (mine, specifically) has been set up, but it is very hard to navigate on all the steps of the candidature and understanding the overall view of the candidate. Also for sharing company openings there are so many steps to complete that it is very often confusing what you need to do or not.

### "Basic to Intermediate ATS"

February 9, 2021

3.0

Jobvite ATS has done the job for us and has given us the ability to keep our recruitment management going with applicants. I just wish it was easier to update when needed.

Pros

I like the fact we get a career site that we can customize to our look and feel and I like the Application integration with Indeed and other programmatic job boards. Also the Analytics is really good, but confusing to set up and use.

Cons

I don't like the Admin interface and the ease of use. It took us well over 6 months to build this Jobvite software ATS and its taking even longer to update it to our needs now. We've used it for well over 3 years and I can say I've seen other ATS systems with easier setup and backend use.

Reporting and Analytics Automating processes Integration issues Hiring Issues

Pros

\- Ease of Use - Intuitive both on the admin and end user side - UI - Contemporary look and feel - Reporting - Can report on any item in the candidate or requisition fields - Customization - Can customize product exactly to your liking

Cons

\- No ability to add logic to requisition/offer forms, requisition fields need the ability to auto populate data based on inputs from the user like cost center or department.

### "Jobvite rocks "

August 6, 2019

4.0

We get rave reviews from candidates during the onboarding experience.

Pros

I love that the product is so customizable and integrates nicely with our HRIS systems. I also love that it really helps with branding and creating a wonderful candidate experience.

Cons

I had issues with turn over of my account manager on the sales side. I also have had to call or use the chat feature a lot and find that a dedicated customer support team per accounts would be the best route to take. instead, I always get differnt peopel with a differnt level of product or account knowledge and I find myself repeating to them. I'd love to see more premade reports in the system. We live in the world of Data and It needs to be easier to data mine the system

### "Meh"

May 1, 2019

3.0

It's been rocky. We changed to jobvite about 9 months ago and have been struggling. There is better functionality in certain areas than what we were using before but there has been significant gaps in usability and integration and also challenges in working with the Jovbite team to get timely fixes.

Pros

intuitive to navigate; can easily move candidates around

Cons

Limited functionality with dashboard. Have to go searching for information and can take too many clicks to get to the place you need to be. More so, there isn't a way to differentiate based on referral or internal candidates. All functionality is geared toward one approach to pipeline (external focus) and so it's extremely difficult to prioritize or work with other types of pipeline. Current employee pipeline is as important to our success as a Talent Acquisition department and mature/successful organizations have a tailored approach to cultivate and develop these candidates. But, you can't send jobvites if a role is posted internal only, you can't ask different application questions to those already employed (you have to use work arounds like forms instead) and many other workflows/reporting are not conducive to internal candidates.

### "None of the Job posting platform is this much simple as Jobvite"

July 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

I was devastated during my job search, you have to go through 6 different pages and fill 1000 question answers for no reason, then you race , color, nation, veteran, non veteran, and may other things that may have the relevancy but in later phase, not in just apply. And then came,jobvite, easy one page job post application, you can apply in 2 minutes. I will definitely recommend jobvite

Cons

Nothing in comparison of other tools in market.

### "We, recruiters, tend to bash almost any ATS. I'm pleasantly content with Jobvite."

October 24, 2017

4.0

Saves times

Pros

Ease of use. The learning curve is fairly small as compared to some of the robust ATS' on the market. Calendar scheduling is also very simple.

Cons

Advanced automation and analytics. Sometimes it seems that simple change can't be completed. As an example, there's a super minor customization I've requested that for the life of me can't understand why it can't be done. It would save me hours of time but that's for another day.

### "Its easy to use and great!"

October 24, 2017

5.0

control over the candidates that come into our system.

Pros

Ease of use and accessibility to other job boards, its a great tool and employees think its easy to view all the open reqs and send the positions to referrals.

Cons

Its more of a manual process, changing templates is a task, setting up interviews for different locations I want to be able to have a button to click for time zones, so I don't have to change it manually in the email to candidates.

### "More of a Rolodex than ATS"

November 28, 2018

3.0

Not great. There are better ATS platforms out there but if you aren't a very large company that needs a robust system, then this will work.

Pros

The Pros for this platform are not much...you can easily enough navigate without having to do a tutorial. But that's about it.

Cons

Reporting is very weak. Customer support is not the easiest and don't try to ask about integrating with another system because we asked for this for about 6 months and got absolutely nowhere.

### "Loving Jobvite!"

April 24, 2019

5.0

We used to use another, more simple ATS that didn't allow for candidates to be taken through a workflow, or even allow managers to submit feedback. We paired that with Google Sheets, and everything just got messy. We've been using Jobvite now for about a year, and it's really simplified my life, and kept things organized.

Pros

I like the intuitive way that I can track, and take candidates through the workflow. It allows me to see at a glance where my candidates are which helps me plan what needs to be done, and adjust sourcing. Jobvite also allows me to communicate clearly and instantly with hiring managers, as they have access to see where candidates are as well, and we can keep feedback all together.

Cons

My only con of Jobvite is that when I search a candidate's name, maybe a letter or two off, Jobvite will say there isn't anyone in the system with that name. So it's important to spell your candidate's name correctly. I wish it would bring up similarly spelled candidates, but other than that, I've enjoyed using Jobvite.

### "Jobvite/AMP Review"

October 26, 2018

4.0

Overall, no major issues or complaints about jobvite. It is functional and gets the job done for the purpose we are using it for.

Pros

It has the functions necessary to maintain our candidate pipeline

Cons

It is a little difficult to navigate the site and an old looking UI experience. You also need to reach out to jobvite support to make changes and cannot modify everything on your own.

### "Simplify Talent Management"

October 22, 2019

4.0

Easily setup and integrated with our org. Intuitive for those on the admin/backend side to navigate and use. Candidates have had great feedback about the application experience during interviews, which gives them more confidence moving to a new role/org .

Pros

Really easy to setup and integrate with what was needed. Moved from an outdated, very manual process to easily managing and following up with potential candidates all in one place. Users appreciate seeing where the process is at, and the automated messages keep candidates in the loop throughout the process.

Cons

It would be nice as more of an all in one that could be used across more areas of the org that tie into HR. Apart from that, I really do not have negative feedback.

### "Decent basic system, gets the job done"

February 10, 2023

3.0

It was a fair system, but not overly user friendly. If you are quite adept at software programs and learning new functions you won't have any problem.

Pros

Cost effective for first year, then prices increase after that.

Cons

It takes quite a bit of time to learn the system if you are having others involved - there are a number of steps involved, but once you get the hang of it it works well.

### "It was fine"

April 26, 2023

4.0

Pros

It did the job. It was not as robust as other ATSs I have used in the past but it did the job fine. There was not a lot of additional functionality (reporting, posting on multiple sites, DE&I, etc.) but it was good at collecting applicants and feedback.

Cons

It was very basic. We were previously using a much more modern system with better reporting and a better UI/UX. I didn't feel like there was a huge value add, other than the basic functions of an ATS.

### "Review about UI of Jobvite"

April 24, 2019

3.0

It is easy to refer a candidate if can find the exact job posting your candidate was looking for, but finding a match from LinkedIn jobs page to this is the challenge

Pros

It does what it says and that's what matters.For eg: 1. I was able to refer one of my friends to a managerial position from Jobvite 2. I am able to see past referrals details - name, position etc

Cons

What I did not like is how the product is laid down to the user. There are quite a few things which are not obvious to a regular/new user: 1. The workflow of how referral works. There is a dashboard tour but not that helpful. 2. I would want to get notified if the candidate has applied and when his candidature goes through recruiter selection phase. 3. Generally, it happens that a friend looks at posting on the LinkedIn website and asks for a referral offline. I should be able to map job posting on LinkedIn Jobs to Jobvite requisition. I end up doing a keyword search and its not easy task because most of the titles are similar

Pros

The ATS is built out well. You can scroll through candidates, and move them through the process as we see fit. The reporting is probably the best feature.

Cons

\-Very laggy (slow) online software -Cannot import LinkedIn applications directly. Have to download resume to input -Search function does not always work. (ie - i search someone's name that I know is in the ATS system, and it tells me that no results can be found)

this was a nice upgrade from simpler, cheaper platforms. it's not the most advanced but surely a nice platform that has all you need to keep organized and store many thousands of candidates. you could use this for many years and be just fine.

Pros

this was easy to use and had an well-organized work flow.

Cons

could have used a few more features like knock-out questions or pre-screening features in conjunction with posting reqs

### "Jobvite Review"

February 26, 2016

4.0

Jobvite is a great system to integrate for a recruiting team. Previously not using a system at all, and a set of online sharing systems, using this system gives a team a lot more time to keep organized. It is great to keep all information in Jobvite, instead of trying to workout of two systems.

Pros

Jobvite keeps track of who is in and out of a candidate's profile. It helps everyone on the team when there is full transparency on all emails sent to a candidate

Cons

There are some features that are only uncovered with a work around. It would be great if there was a one click button for a few features, but there is not. Easily seeing what requisitions a candidate is in is important. Also how Jobvite keeps track of candidates can be a bit messy, especially when you are dealing with agencies who will submit a candidate who has already applied themselves.

### "Great tool"

August 10, 2016

4.0

We manage our recruitment function across 11 offices using Jobvite. Our recruitment team can keep track of candidate activity and assign next steps as tasks, making our internal communication run smoothly. You can also move candidates through all interviewing steps effortlessly and with transparency for their referrals.

Pros

THE BEST customer service I've ever dealt with; they're fast, friendly and helpful. It integrates with LinkedIn Recruiter and Referrals. I love that it can also handle onboarding tasks like generating offer letters and conducting background checks. Working with outside recruiting agencies, it helps me manage submissions and does not allow an agency to submit a resume that is already in the system.

Cons

It's a little slow at times, which can be frustrating. It doesn't have way to include LinkedIn profiles for sourcing. You have to download their profile as a PDF instead of adding their LinkedIn link and auto-generating a candidate profile.

### "Super easy to work with! "

April 24, 2019

4.0

Overall, I like the system. I feel they make effort to really meet the needs of the customer. There's room for some more bells and whistles but they're diligently working on things like this and I think they'll only get better.!

Pros

I like the ease of functionality. In my opinion, the software if pretty intuitive and user friendly. The workflow's are easy and the admin access makes it easy to tweak things that we need to conduct business. I like the Jobvite is working on integrations with new companies all the time, and other software systems, so they're only getting better!

Cons

Reporting. Sometimes if you don't hit certain 'buttons' then the reporting is off or skewed.
