Jobvite

I work for a company who has large volumes of applications through Jobvite's system. I have found it extremely easy to use, from applications through to hiring. Their customer service is great. We have weekly meetings with an account manager who lets us know any new features, talks us through any problems we're experiencing and allows us to ask more in depth questions. I would recommend any company considering using them as their ATS.

We've been using Jobvite for 2 years and have been very pleased. The Jobvite referral system is especially easy to use and we've had great success with our employee's sharing out our jobs on various social media platforms!

I got stuck with Jobvite while I was a hiring manager at two prior companies. I honestly hated it. Logging in was a chore. Filtering through applicants and looking at my candidate pool took multiple clicks and was super slow/ frustrating. My recruiter could never get anyone from my team to put feedback in the system, partly because the feedback forms we had to fill in didn't match the role. At all. And I couldn't find people that I was sure were supposed to be in our pipeline.

Jobvite is a great web-based ATS solution for employers looking for a company-branded career page that also offers ATS functionality. They are a great option if you are looking to tap into the social and mobile recruiting platforms, offering easy integration with job boards and social sites such as LinkedIn, Indeed, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Jobvite helps you manage your recruiting process from beginning to end, helping you to make your process more efficient and effective by offering data-driven analytics.

Overall, we have been really pleased with the functionality of Jobvite, and would recommend to others looking for a similar solution.

I am an HR Recruiter for a multi-channel marketing and product development company specializing in labor law, HR and tax solutions that create a bridge between what the law requires and what makes sense for businesses. We have large volumes of applications through Jobvite's system and have found it to be an extremely simple way to organize our candidates applications. What a great system to use starting from the application process to the interviewing process to hiring and filling the position and even once the employee is employed. Their customer service and online help tools are great. We have weekly webinars with an account manager who talks us through any updates or problems we're experiencing and allows us to ask questions along the way. I would recommend Jobvite to all Recruiters and HR Professionals looking for a great simple to use ATS.

Overall, we've had a decent transition over to Jobvite. It is our organization's first ATS and we purchased Engage at the same time. With Hire, the functionality of reporting and integration with gcal and gmail has been invaluable to our team. The formatting for our job board is finicky, but functional. However, customer service was mixed until we found a dedicated person to help us. Once we found her, she's been great!

With Engage, we were sold a product that didn't work as promised. (The job notification feature does not work and the "seamless" integration with Hire wasn't working - resumes were not transferring). Customer service complaints have gone unresolved for months. Emails with people on the Engage team have not been responded to. So while I'd recommend Hire, I would think twice before purchasing Engage.

Have been using this system for over 1 year now and still cannot stand it. It is the primary tool I need to use and it is very frustrating. During my annual review this year, my manager asked my hiring managers for feedback on my performance and when they responded they also gave her feedback on how horrible Jobvite is. Job descriptions aren't able to be saved and need to be pasted in each time you post a position. Offer letters need to be downloaded and then uploaded in order to make and save changes. Its too manual. The system we had previously was 10,000 times better and I wish we could go back.

I have used several different ATS and Jobvite is my favorite. It is easy to use, has great dashboards and reporting. I would recommend having a good plan on how you would like to use Jobvite, including recruitment process and what data you would like to get from the system. That way you can set it up optimally. I particularly like the tasks so that I can set reminders for myself and others to contact candidates or follow something up.

When I first used it, I thought it was a legacy product from 2009 which was stuck in beta mode and not developed further. This is how I still feel after having used it for weeks. They have millions of bugs and usability issues, and my colleagues tell me that they have given up contacting Jobvite. It is a waste of time.

It is incredible how much of a damage Jobvite can incur on the reputation of your company. For example, if you internally put a candidate on "Reject" or "To Reject Later", the candidate sees this entry if he logs on to jobvite. We received emails from candidates who were asking about their status - and the status is supposed to be internal only, right? This is only one example of so many.

I will try to switch to another product asap.

If you would like a system that is not user friendly and customer service that is horrible... use jobvite. I would never recommend this system, even if you are on a tight budget. The only reason we used this is because it was cost effective and pushed positions out on social media sites. You will not have a dedicated account manager and there is a 30 day out clause... so even if the contract is annual... you can be locked in further.

Our company of ~1000 employees uses Jobvite, and have been using Jobvite since the earliest stages of our startup stage. The Jobvite platform and business model grew with us, and we're very happy with the experience. From new integrations to continual updates, Jobvite's ATS has been the backbone of our hiring process.

Of course, many other products can boast that claim, but it's really the stellar partnership we received from our account manager. She keeps us in the loop regarding the specifics of each update, and works to customize our Jobvite experience. This white-glove treatment is by far what has continually reinforced our choice with Jobvite, and we've recently opted to subscribe to their Engage platform as well.

Overall, a great service.
