Marketing Specialist and Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### ""OK" ATS for short term or growth" October 8, 2019 3.0 I had a decent experience with them. The software is good for small companies (or individuals), but i'm not sure how they would do with a company over $100mm in revenue. They do have a built in CRM/relationship management, but it was a basic mirror to others you can find out there. Pros Since the people I worked with were remote, having the software cloud-based was definitely a plus. Also, it helps with your onboarding and compliance (though simplistic) which frees up a ton of time. Cons There was a lack of exporting and reporting that you can do. Filling out profiles for potential candidates is great, but importing contacts and having it extrapolate all the information was lacking which, taking time to go through profiles and update them manually. Reason for choosing Jobvite Price and they had a good sales person that walked me through the product. Review Source Response from Employ October 15, 2019 Kevin, thank you so much for being a customer!

VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Financial Analyst Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The reporting feature could use a lot of work" October 23, 2017 4.0 Ease of sharing the reports within the organization. Pros Being able to quickly and easily schedule reports with other employees has been a great time saver. Not having to manually run the report each week is very helpful. Cons Trying to create a report can be tedious as the amount of customization can be limited. There is no way to start a report from scratch, Jobvite does not do a good job of saying which dataset the data is being pulled from. Limited custom formulas once the report is created. The 'Notes' field cannot be pulled into any reports. Review Source SM Steven M. HR Project Manager Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid Product" October 30, 2019 5.0 Once fully operational, Jobvite has performed very well overall. Pros Excellent candidate engagement functionality and the on-boarding tools are top notch. The interactive support/help tools are very helpful and intuitive. Cons The admin module is not always intuitive and it can take a few tries to find the right screen for making changes. Additionally, the implementation model is a challenge, as there is no single person accountable to keeping the project on track. Alternatives considered [iCIMS Hire](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/) Reason for choosing Jobvite Combination of functionality and cost. Review Source Response from Employ November 13, 2019 Steven, thank you! We appreciate you! sL simone L. Sr. Talent Acquisition Associate Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jobvite: Pros and Cons" August 27, 2019 5.0 Pros I like how easy it is to learn and teach others how to navigate Jobvite. I have used other ATS products in the past and Jobvite is by far the most user friendly. I love the dashboard feature and the fact that you can customize it to fit your needs. Cons Honestly, the only thing I like least about Jobvite is the fact that after making a change to a job description, you have to go all the way to the bottom of the page to hit Save. I have put in several requests over the years for Jobvite to add a Save button at the top of the page and it has never happened. Review Source Response from Employ September 23, 2019 Thank you for your review Simone! We appreciate you so much! WR Wendy R. Director, Talent Acquisition Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great ATS, Customer Service - meh" October 30, 2017 3.0 Pros \- ease of use for candidate application - ability to edit jobs easily - their product roadmap is constantly evolving Cons \- When you hire a candidate and disposition them to hired the candidates other applications are not updated to "hired", can be confusing with multiple recruiters and multiple locations. You also cannot view a candidates notes for all of their applications in one place. You have to look though all the applications that a candidate applied to. - the customer support is a joke and slow. Jobvite offshores their support -Their reporting functionality is tedious and hard to use Review Source DD Danielle D. Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialist Biotechnology Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and train others" August 20, 2019 5.0 It's given us the ability to share information with our hiring managers. Get them more involved in the recruiting process. The system has allowed us to do the majority of the hiring process within one system. True archive of candidates. Streamline applicant process. Overall robust system. Pros It's an easy "drill down" system. From high level view of req to individual candidate profiles. As a recruiter I find it easy to use and track candidates. I train my hiring managers on this system as well and they are able to catch on easily. My managers like the ability to view candidates directly. Cons More sorting capabilities to eliminate applicants and to also find previous applicants. Review Source Response from Employ August 26, 2019 Danielle, thank you so much! We appreciate you. Feel free to reach out to our support team that can help you build out more sorting capabilities. VR Verified Reviewer Recruiting Marketing Specialist Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great ATS!" October 26, 2018 4.0 Overall, great experience and useful for us. Pros Easy to use! I am able to customize it easily to match our process. I am also able to pull reports. Very user-friendly. Cons It can me slow some days. Customer service tells you to clear your cookies and it should fix the problem. There were about 2 times in the last year and a half where that didn't work, so it took time to fix. Review Source CC Christopher C. Recruiting Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Product and Service" February 12, 2020 5.0 Overall, Jobvite is a great ATS that integrates with all of our HR and Accounting tools. The customer service and response rate is on par. Pros Jobvite offers several options for customizing the dashboard and workflows, and the customer service is great. Cons nothing stands out as of yet. It would be nice to have a list of available free API's Reason for choosing Jobvite Seemed like there was more value for the money and JobVite seems to put most of their focus on branding and applicant tracking. Switched from [Paylocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/86714/WebPay/) Jobvite offers customizeable reporting and has a much broader list of job aggregates. Review Source KV Kumutha V. Team lead Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best software for recruiting " December 20, 2022 5.0 Almost 6 months using this software for recruiting purpose Pros Mostly i liked here is posting and maintain database. Search option also very easy. Overall all the features are very good Cons Least I don't have anything here. Overall it's a best tool for networking. Response also very fast.. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Technical Recruiter Computer Hardware Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall good system " January 16, 2018 4.0 Pros It's very customizable. Also, their customer service team is amazingly awesome. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Cons There are trade-offs with the system being job-centric (vs candidate-centric). Since this one is job-centric sometimes it can be tricky to track a candidate who has applied to multiple reqs and to find feedback from previous interviews. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Resourcing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust tool with many features, most helpful" January 15, 2018 5.0 Pros I find Jobvite relatively easy to use, I have mostly trained myself. It is well-designed with a limited color palette that helps reduce visual noise. Customization options accommodate our specific workflows. Cons I am not a daily user (my role is recruiting-adjacent), so my experience may be different if I were a power user. That being said, Jobvite is almost \*too\* robust. I am sometimes not sure what the difference is between all the options, and find myself potentially self-limiting additional ways the tool could be more useful for me. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Talent Acquisition Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jobvite Hire is a simple and user-friendly tool to bring efficiency and thought recruitment process in practice" May 22, 2018 5.0 Pros \- interview scheduling (with view on availability, meeting room booking, interviewers scheduling) - easy recruitment process (or more complex if you like) with good ready template set-ups - comfortable for hiring managers - all information tracked in Jobvite but communicated directly to your inbox (links to profiles etc.) - message templates creation for several purposes +++ - GDPR support - Social sharing, referrals - reports!! ++ Cons \- Candidate evaluations options and visibility is not yet top-notch - Would be great to have more branding opportunities for job ads Review Source Jason T. Recruiting Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good ATS for most companies" January 24, 2019 4.0 There are so many ATS options in the market right now, so for an ATS to truly stand out it needs to be superb. Jobvite gets the job done, but doesn't have as many features as some of the more well known systems like Greenhouse. Pros Allows Recruiters and Hiring Managers to review, respond, and collaborate on applicants and candidates. Cons A little clunky at times, sometimes it would have lag time. Review Source AH Alexander H. Sales Recruiter Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Intuitive, Common Sense-Based, Easy to Use" August 13, 2019 5.0 I'm using Jobvite to enter candidates that I have sourced on LinkedIn for a number of similarly-defined sales jobs. I am mainly only using the simple, common features of Jobvite, but it's been very effective for these functions. I love the speed and simplicity. Pros The Jobvite platform is very simplistic and was easy to learn. In only a day or two, I was able to effortlessly add and update candidates, view requisitions, send candidate emails, write internal notes and perform other functions. I am still learning the finer points about Jobvite, but so far those other features have worked well, too. The software is very fast - far faster loading times than other ATS systems I've used. Cons I wish there was a better way to scan different requisitions based on location and other details. We have a number of requisitions that look almost identical except for their req number, and it's difficult to sort them out at times. Review Source Response from Employ August 14, 2019 Hi Alexander, thank you so much! We appreciate having you as a customer! For your search concern, Candidate search supports full Boolean search terms and can also be limited to searching on only specified requisitions per search. There are also reporting options that might assist, but the search is quite powerful and will search resume contents as well if the All (Keyword) search option is used. Feel free to reach out to our support team if you need additional help with this. Regina K. Corporate Recruiter Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "love this ATS" June 1, 2016 5.0 I love this ATS! Used HODES, TALEO, and Ultipro before as ATS's at other companies, at JOBVITE exceeds all of them! Clean platform! Clean look and feel of the program. Also, love to pull up Jobvite on my phone; easy to use on a mobile! Pros Easy to pickup and learn how to use without any manuals. Their support staff are pretty efficient of taking care of questions and providing solutions quickly. Easy to update job reqs. Cons When you disposition a candidate as hired in one req, would like all the other reqs to close on their own. Not to big of a problem though since the other reqs for the same candidate can be closed manually per req. Also, wish I could open 1 job req for 1 title, but post in multiple locations, without it looking like I have ten jobs open for that title... Review Source WE Wonda E. Talent Acquisition Supervisor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Haven't Looked Back" August 9, 2019 5.0 I think the customer service makes it all worth while for me because I can always find an answer for issued the come up through a quick chat with a rep. They are super!! Pros Ease of use for the average user. Hiring managers can learn the system and be off and running fairly quickly because it is intuitive. Cons Sometimes the layout on the back end can be confusing. If I want to modify an evaluation form and have multiple versions I have to remember where it lives and how to connect all the other pieces so it belongs to the right business unit. Reason for choosing Jobvite The referral program. But still really trying to get this off the ground. Review Source Response from Employ August 12, 2019 Wonda, thank you so much! We appreciate you! I passed your kind words along to the CS team! VR Verified Reviewer Talent Acquisition Partner Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Robust ATS - could be all that you need!" June 10, 2018 4.0 Pros I really liked the email functionality; it was great to set templates and to not have to write each candidate correspondence from scratch. The software is also quite robust - there were a lot of functionalities we didn't use but I could see how they could be useful to other users/companies. Cons I like being able to call in with a question and to get it answered right away; customer service was good but it was not as quick as I liked since I had to submit my questions via email. Review Source AK Allan K. Research Officer International Affairs Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Our international recruiting efforts flow effortlessly " September 4, 2021 5.0 I like that Jobvite provides a holistic and comprehensive solution to most of our HR and hiring needs. Because most of our teams are structured to be multinational (even in local offices), getting the right applicant pool constitution can be extremely challenging. With Jobvite, that entire process through to candidate assessment has been made very efficient and highly productive. Pros Communications with panel members and applicants is no longer haggard. Thanks to Jobvite’s intuitive design, everything is better contained and better managed. Response times have now been shortened, allowing us to complete recruitment campaigns much faster than before. Cons Making edits or changes to individual job descriptions within group uploads can be very difficult without having to do the entire set. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Talent & Knowledge Coordinator Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The system is easy to use and fast but like all systems, not perfect. " December 1, 2017 4.0 Ease of use and a system to store all of our candidates. Pros It is pretty easy to customize and the frequent quarterly enhanced updates are helpful. The system is very easy to navigate and read as well. Cons The sorting and filtering isn't the best. The errors and tech support is sometimes lacking and can take weeks to get an answer. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Talent Acquisition Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great service, ability to build the functionality the way we need it to be. " December 18, 2017 5.0 Pros I like that all of the communication with the candidate is tracked for ease of understanding where the candidate is in process and who has communicated with them. Cons What I like least about the Jobvite is that the onboarding function is clunky with the 'tasks'-and the alerts can't be customized as much as we need. Review Source JC Jeremy C. Director People Operations Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inherited Jobvite" October 19, 2018 3.0 I'm the head of HR, use Jobvite for recruitment and applicant processing, train others on the system and handle admin across the business Pros Not much... I inherited it and want to get rid of it as soon as convenient Cons Clunky UX from dashboard on to all other pages Busy pages that make logical next steps tricky to figure out Way too much use of the same color text, background, frames Menu and category titles aren't intuitive Not up to 2018 standards, hard for new users to pick up Messaging and calendar functions don't tie seamlessly to Gmail or Outlook Too many clicks to get through simple 1- or 2-process steps ...did I mention it's not intuitive? I've used Paychex, ADP, Salesforce... Jobvite is just very clunky, needs some serious streamlining and UX attention Review Source TA Timur A. Manager of Talent Marketing Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Streamlined recruitment, with caveats " June 17, 2016 4.0 My team uses jobvite as the centerpiece of our recruiting strategy. We pull data every day to see our progress, and keep all info about each candidate in jobvite. It has streamlined our process, but some unfriendly UI designs and too often outages slow us down. Pros \- Keeping everything in one place. Great that we can access candidate information so easily and keep it all organized. Allows us to make sure no one gets dropped. - Usability with other programs. Love how it merges with my gcal when I schedule an interview, and how I can reply to emails from my gmail instead of having to log in. Cons \- Ugly emails. Emails sent from Jobvite show up strangely, and the fact that it comes from a strange email address means that it sometime goes to SPAM for the candidate. I find myself going through personal email more often now. - Customer service. My team had to go through a couple of customer service reps before we found one who eagerly jumped into our issues and took immediate action. I recognize Jobvite is a growing platform, but waiting on fixes means we potentially lose great candidates. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human Resources Generalist Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great experience, easy to use platform" October 23, 2017 5.0 Pros The platform offers great functionality and ease of use. Everyday I find new and innovative ways to utilize the software. Cons Customer support can take awhile to connect and we aren't given a dedicated account point of contact. The software can be clunky with many bugs still to be worked out in the system. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer On-channel Publisher Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I get confused most times I use it" September 26, 2019 4.0 Referral for open jobs works ok. i also use it for hiring on my team. Pros This is how I can submit colleagues for referral to an open position. I like how I can see the status of the referral at a glance. Cons Referral can't happen except through a narrow funnel. Usually I find the job and try to refer from there...but I don't think it works that way. I have to relearn it each month or quarter I use it. Review Source Response from Employ October 9, 2019 Thank you for being a Jobvite user!

Senior People Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Data analysts will enjoy customization, but navigability can be frustrating " May 1, 2019 4.0 The breadth of data being captured in Jobvite allows me to create robust reports about our hiring pipeline (diversity, hiring funnel, time from application to hire, etc). Overall the data structure is sensible and usable, once you figure out which columns mean what. Pros Reporting functionality is highly customizable, and the ability to create custom fields is a huge plus. Cons When exporting large datasets to .csv (since it's virtually impossible in Jobvite to export datasets of 50K+ rows to .xlsx), headers for custom fields are labeled in unusable ways (e.g. custom\_field\_xqqxvfws). It becomes necessary to maintain a separate mapping table and manually vlookup the actual header names before beginning any analysis. It also creates a huge headache when coordinating between data integration specialists who aren't as familiar with the dataset. Review Source Similar Products Featured
