Pros By the simple usage and features of Jobvite, we automated our HR hiring activities. Cons More fluent UI and features may be added to Jobvite. Review Source NB Nichole B. Hiring Coordinator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not the simplest ATS but it has some great features" June 13, 2023 5.0 It was a pretty quick, easy, implementation process. They moved over most of what I needed seamlessly. They have a lot of great training videos and articles to help people figure out the use of the system. Pros It makes it easy to manage jobs across multiple brands in one location. You can provide employees with an easy way to apply to internal postings and share out jobs to their network. Cons Adding questions to the postings and interviews into the system is a bit clunky. It isn't simple to allow candidates to upload files for review. Allows applicants that come through 3rd party sites like Indeed or Zip Recruiter to bypass customized application questions.

It felt many times like when you are trying to cover a hole and then another one pops up. Additionally, the fact that they probably purchased another company a few years ago, sometimes gives the feeling you are speaking to 2 different companies not synched (e.g. application forms can be built through the ATS but also through a thing they call telemetry, and synching both is very painful) Pros \-The ability to create dashboards- Integration with our HCM Cons \- The system lacks flexibility for large companies. Ex: It is taking ages (literally) for us to have implemented different application forms. Whether you want to make them shorter or longer, or in different languages. (We are actually even paying extra for those application forms)- Customer support, sometimes lacks technical skills- Candidate experience: There is no candidate portal (i.e. Candidates need to repeat over again application forms)- US-oriented: Meetings with their team are usually at (West) US times- Technical issues: The system is very susceptible to minor bugs, errors, etc.- Career site: If you have ever built a website, you'll find the backend is decades behind Review Source DD David D. Director, Talent Acquisition Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Recruiting team's best friend" August 13, 2019 5.0 Overall, a positive experience. We would recommend highly. Pros Since we implemented Jobvite, it has been a valuable asset to the Lewis organization, not just the Recruiting team, but to hiring managers and employees. From it's easy-apply features for candidates to its reporting functions to show ROI and /source hiring data, my team and I have been very pleased. The feedback we received from managers and staff have been positive. New employees (with simple training) pick up its features quickly and start using Jobvite right away for interviews, candidate evaluations, social sharing and/or referrals. Cons Jobvite has a robust reporting function and we use it for about 2-3 weekly, monthly & annual reports. Some of the other reports are difficult to create on your own, requiring help from your Jobvite rep and/or Jobvite customer service. The Engage portion of Jobvite (an extra feature) hasn't been that successful for us, but that may just be that we need more training. Either way, we don't use it much. Also, integration is a factor. If an organization has a separate HRIS, identify integration possibilities. Alternatives considered [ICIMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/)[Dayforce HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/205376/Dayforce-HCM/) Reason for choosing Jobvite Candidate ease of use, functionality, customer service, simple to train, etc. Switched from [Dayforce HCM](https://www.capterra.com/p/205376/Dayforce-HCM/) It's been well over 5 years, but at the time, Jobvite was extremely progressive compared to Dayforce (it was called Ceridian at the time). Ceridian just couldn't keep up with the changing recruiting/candidate landscape. Review Source Response from Employ August 14, 2019 David, thank you so much! We appreciate you!

They are very TA dashboard friendly. Pros 1\. Easy implementation 2. Less bandwidth seeker 3. Excellent options to keep your notes private 4. Supports a lot of CV formats 5. Parsing is super quick Cons 1\. Less options to integrate to platforms like yunojuno etc. Alternatives considered [Oracle Taleo Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/132229/Oracle-Taleo-Cloud-Service/) Switched from [Greenhouse](https://www.capterra.com/p/133100/Greenhouse/) Flexibility of bending the functionalities as per the custom needs. Review Source PG Paola G. Talent Acquisition Manager Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I am loyal to Jobvite!" October 24, 2019 5.0 I love Jobvite! I was introduced to it at my company prior to Behavior Frontiers, and upon my inception at Behavior Frontiers I suggested Jobvite. The owners of the company loved it so we launched it. It has made the hiring process more streamlined, and easier for our team. I love it so much that we are now looking into the on-boarding piece, which I feel, will make it easier for our HR Team and it will be a better candidate experience. Pros Everything is housed in one place. Everyone on the team can get access to the information they need. Hiring managers do not need to depend on the recruiter. Pulling reports is super simple. Customer service is always great. Easy application process for candidate. Easy hiring process for hiring team. Cons I wish there were more reports available with graphs and pivot tables that are less confusing when you download them on excel. Alternatives considered [WorkMarket](https://www.capterra.com/p/192163/WorkMarket/)[ADP Mobile Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/212742/ADP-Mobile-Solutions/) Switched from [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) BambooHR was a system I didn't really like, at least the system we had was outdated and overwhelming. Review Source Response from Employ October 29, 2019 Paola, Thank you so much for being a Jobvite customer!!! We really appreciate you. MA Martina A. Recruitment and Marketing Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complete ATS" October 30, 2019 5.0 As I currently work with another software, I miss a lot of the great functionalities Jobvite has and the freedom within it for the hiring manager to define each requisition flow/process. Pros Jobvite is a complete and multifunctional ATS. The candidate process can be tailored to each requisition need due to the multiple statuses, screening types and contact options. It feels like an actual flow and it makes it easier to follow the candidate journey and keep track of the email sent and received. Bulk emailing and bulk change of status are also 2 great tools - which I use to give for granted but I don't have in the other ATS I use for m current product (SF). Cons 1\. No access to knock out form templates + no option to customize basic templates 2. Not all entities/products are selectable when posting a JD 3. when searching a candidate name in the top bar, it should be made default that the search shows candidates in your own req. (With then the option to see all). Most hiring managers would be looking for their specific candidates. Switched from [Salesforce Revenue Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/265484/Salesforce-Revenue-Cloud/) Currently working with Salesforce as I changed product and the current one doesn't work with Jobvite. Salesforce is great as a full-scale integrated system for ATS+Operations+Payroll+Finance but, contrary to JV, the ATS part of it is very limited and hard to customize as it requires a lot of development effort. Review Source Response from Employ November 13, 2019 Martina, thank you so much! We really appreciate you! WB William B. Website developer Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jobvite is the best" October 31, 2019 5.0 I was able to give myself an edge over the competition. Saved weeks of time because of Jobvites social network does all the work for you. Pros It focuses on the applicants’ and is extremely user friendly. It saved me weeks of time because the social network integration. Cons It can seem impersonal at times. It is very detailed so it can take some time to feel satisfied that you have done everything. Alternatives considered [Monster+](https://www.capterra.com/p/48951/Monster-TMS/) Reason for choosing Jobvite Jobvite stands alone as far as the range of abilities you have. Review Source Response from Employ November 13, 2019 William, thank you so much! Michele Y. Manager of Selection & Hiring Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fast, intuitive, and quickly developing product" August 10, 2016 5.0 I oversee the hiring process for a 1300 employee school network. We hire around 400 new staff each year and have roughly 4000 applicants each year. We purchased Jobvite because of its user-friendly interface, the platform speed, and the multiple products that come rolled into one (video interviewing, reporting, pipeline management). Our application process is unique and we were able to customize the system for our use. Since purchasing in October, there have already been a lot of updates and improvements to products as well as new capabilities added. They have great customer service and listen to their customers' needs in making improvements (there is even an ideas section for current customers to make suggestions and have them be voted on). Pros We really enjoy the built-in video interview function. We also love the pipeline management, the reporting capabilities, and the overall ease of use. Cons We would really benefit from even more customization capabilities. Even though we love the video interview function, many of our applicants experience technical difficulties with it so it may help to make some system improvements there. Review Source Krutika R. Recruitment Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All in one HR platform you will ever require. " December 19, 2022 4.0 Pros Jobvite is a one-stop shop for all of your job and employment needs! They offer different platforms such as HR/Payroll, Time & Labor, Onboarding, Recruiting, Surveys, and Community to keep everything organized and easy to access. With such a comprehensive system in place, you can rest assured that all aspects of your business are being handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Cons Many times, it makes updates that disrupt the existing methods of doing things. Unfortunately, customers are usually not informed of these changes and both employees and employers face difficulties as a result. I think they should drop notifications about the changes and release documents. Review Source KM Kelsey M. Recruiter Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Improved!" January 28, 2017 4.0 Last time I reviewed JobVite, I wasn't quite as satisfied with it as I am now. It has definitely improved and I can say I am happy with it. The new search function just got updated, so I haven't been able to use it much, but from the demos I've seen, it looks quite promising. We also recently got a new account manager and she has been very good about communicating with me and so that is always a plus too. Review Source BZ Brayden Z. Entrepreneur Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Jobvite Review" September 30, 2024 5.0 Pros Both candidates and recruiters can use the platform on mobile devices, making it easier to manage hiring processes on-the-go Cons there may be limitations for highly specific or unique needs that fall outside standard recruiting practices can be expensive, particularly for smaller companies or startups with limited budget Review Source RM Richard M. Recruiter Used the software for: 2+ years ### "State of the art social media recruiting platform with a lackluster recruiting workflow." July 25, 2017 4.0 Pros The Social Media platform integration is still best in class. It works well and allows easy visibility for your company's jobs across all social media platforms. Cons There are several things, but the actual ATS part of the system seems to have been designed as an afterthought. The workflow is not intuitive and there are too many features that just are not there for a modern search firm, and I imagine it would be very frustrating for an internal corporate recruiter as well. The worst feature though is their enforced branding through email. If you use Jobvite, every time you send an email through their platform it will go out with a jobvite.com email address. This means that many of your candidates will just not see the emails you send because their junk mail filters are picking up the jobvite.com email address as spam because they have a very high junk mail score and also because the word job is in the email address. When I used Jobvite as a corporate recruiter, I was constantly having to call candidates to see if they had received my emails and when I found out they had not I was resending messages from outside of Jobvite. When I called Jobvite, they said this was not a feature that could be easily turned off, and that the only way to do this was for our sys admins to make changes to the company domain settings and if your admins are like mine, they are not going near that with a 10 foot pole. This an idiotic feature and a deal killer for anyone in the recruiting industry. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Human Resources Assistant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helps our Recruiting Needs as a Small Business" October 30, 2018 4.0 It gets the job done and it's useful for us as a small business to have a place where people can apply online without building our own application process on our website. It's simple for applicants to fill out, but it is time-consuming on our end to get the applications ready. Pros I like that you are able to put pretty much anything and everything on the screening forms. So many other software/websites make their application so simplistic that we barely get any information from our candidates other than a resume. We have a full application that we like our candidates to fill out so it is nice to be able to put all the questions we want on the screening form. It's also a convenient way to keep all of our recruiting needs in one spot. Cons It's not as user-friendly as I would like it. Creating the screening forms is very time-consuming. It's difficult to be able to delete requisitions or candidates which I understand, but at the same time, it would be useful to have. I inherited the software from our previous HR rep and there were so many things that were incorrect and what not and it's really difficult to clean up requsitions. I'd also prefer if we could turn off the general application as we get so many resumes for positions that sometimes don't even exist. Review Source PT Piotr T. Manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review" May 23, 2023 5.0 In my overall experience with Jobvite, I found it to be a powerful and reliable solution for streamlining the recruitment process. The ATS functionality, coupled with features like candidate screening and interview scheduling, provided a comprehensive platform for managing the end-to-end hiring journey. Jobvite's robust capabilities significantly contributed to optimizing recruitment efforts and enhancing collaboration among hiring teams. With improved accessibility to advanced features, Jobvite has the potential to be an even more valuable tool in the talent acquisition landscape. Pros One of the standout features I liked most about Jobvite was its robust applicant tracking system (ATS). It provided a seamless and organized platform for managing job applications, tracking candidate progress, and collaborating with hiring teams. The ability to customize workflows and automate various stages of the hiring process was a significant time-saver and improved overall efficiency. Cons One aspect that I found slightly challenging about Jobvite was the learning curve associated with navigating its more advanced features. While the basic functionalities were easy to grasp, fully utilizing some of the more complex features required a bit of exploration and familiarization. Improved onboarding resources or tutorials could alleviate this learning curve for new users. Review Source VV Vince V. VP of Talent Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jobvite Review" August 20, 2019 4.0 The ability to have all candidates in one place and run reporting on the several data points has been very valuable. The reporting is still a work in progress for our needs. Since using Jobvite we have been able to provide reliable reporting to our hiring managers and executive team. Pros It serves as a receptacle for all candidates, the ability to communicate with multiple candidates at one time. It's a time saver. The reporting is helpful, the product is easy to navigate. It serves as a one stop product for all things recruiting related from, communicating with hiring managers to candidates and everything in between. Cons The reporting could be stronger, an more fluid approach with LinkedIn Recruiter, and better email options. The ability to add a signature in the email templates that doesn't look generic. Reason for choosing Jobvite Some of our business partners had positive things to say about the produce, our contact at LinkedIn shared that they were using it and love it and the ability to have our people share our jobs through social media with very little effort.

Jobvite is easy to use and accurate to use. Cons Jobvite has effective features that has zero flaws. Jobvite has been the best. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Communications Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best way to manage hiring process! " November 23, 2018 5.0 We used to have trouble managing job postings across multiple platforms and it was hard for different hiring managers to work with HR to know if they had candidates. Everyone was on a different page or doing their own approach to hiring and we weren't getting the right candidates. Now everyone can log in to one interface for quick and easy updates across every job. Pros I like being able to track candidates throughout the process from where the candidate found us to where in the application stage they are, Jobvite gives so much usable information and makes hiring the right candidate easy! Jobvite easily syncs within our website we are able to have jobs display across our site and easily update them in Jobvite. I can create custom links for social media to track how different jobs are drawing in candidates. Cons My one con is that I cannot customize automated social media postings to employee's profiles by job. It's a great feature to have and would be even better if I could write custom text for each job. Review Source BF Benjamin F. Senior Programmer/Analyst Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy applicant tracking that could use an interface overhaul" December 21, 2022 4.0 Jobvite is a useful tool that is essential to tracking an applicant and making the process easy for everyone. There are a wide range of features for many use cases. Pros I have used the applicant tracking the most. It is easy to create links to send to applicants that links them directly back to you as the one who recommended them. I like how there are a number of ways to share a job posting and it will provide analytics over which postings are the most successful.There are multiple phases an applicant can go through that make it easy to track the status. I am not in HR, so there is a whole side of this that I haven't seen. From a hiring manager stand point, this product definitely gets the job done! Cons The interface can be a bit tricky to get used to. Some controls are in places I wouldn't expect. There are multiple ways to achieve the same thing, but sometimes your ability to do something depends on what method you chose to get there.They recently updated their login technology to be more secure. This is great, but it's a bit clunky. When you time out, the page does not redirect you to the correct login page. I keep having to manually change the url to get to the right place. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Recruiting Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great ATS" October 19, 2018 4.0 We are growing and this role is growing, which means there are additional products that could help resolve current roadblocks and mounting obstacles in moving a candidate from the recruiting portion to the onboarding portion. My rep and I have been reviewing solutions to help streamline our efforts. Pros I love how all of my communications with our applicants are easily accessible, and now with the integration with Canvas I can text them directly from within the ATS. Cons The portal for creating a ticket or a case is a little clunky and somewhat outdated. Review Source JL JENNIFER L. Manager, Talent Acquisition Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Jobvite is a great tool but needs to offer more AI features! #jobBot" May 31, 2018 4.0 Pros Jobvite is very user friendly and makes it easy for us to train new employees on. I really like the side bar that walks you through anything that you are not sure on. I am also a fan of Jobvite Publisher, great to have social media posts while you are sleeping... set and forget. Cons It's need to move a little quicker with the times! Needs to have text message capabilities.. we should be able to text our candidates through the system... we should be sending an auto text 1 hr before their interview with address link and 1 hour after interview thanking them for their time. It should also have option for a Bot Recruiting assistant... one would be scheduling interviews and chat feature to pre-screen our candidates. Similar to systems like textRecruit and Paradox Olivia... do not like that we have to go out to additional vendors.

February 24, 2021 5.0 Its very easy platform and help hiring/onboarding process to be very clean. Since everyone is tied to one platform thus easy workflow and better management for each profile has made the hiring process faster and effective. Pros With Jobvite, we were able to eliminate most of our tedious documentations and follow ups. One platform that connects the recruitment team and department hiring managers and make onboarding hassle free. Easy coordination and documentation makes life easier for everyone and the hiring time reduce drastically. Cons Changes to job description is difficult as it need to re-upload the entire description. And yes at times the support response are delayed or slow. Review Source MC Marianne C. Team Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Cool to use" August 23, 2022 3.0 I had to use Jobvite on a daily basis. As a new user it was not so hard to understand its use. It helped to concentrate all hiring processes. The numbers were also helpful. Pros I used a lot the search tool, notes, and messages. Being integrated with email tool was amazing and I could reply right there on Jobvite. Notes was important since I could communicate internally and also include important observations to other recruiters. Search bar was one of the features I used the most since I remembered a name of a candidate and typed it on the search bar. Cons I missed the favorite button where I could "save" some candidates. I was hiring for a junior position and there were a lot of candidates. Not all of them should go to resume review phase but I'd like to save the ones I liked to possibly move them to Resume Review. Review Source JM James M. Recruiting Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Challenges on two topics: Boolean Search and Dashboard" May 3, 2019 3.0 Pros JobVite does a decent job in terms of our workflow and processing candidates to the next step. The communication to hiring managers and candidates and tracking that info works. Cons The Boolean Search is very basic. I should be able to quickly view candidates on my req when searching by a name. Candidates that are active on a req somehow should have priority on a list. Also the dashboard sometimes is hard to read - would be nice to change the color or somehow differentiate the reqs. When you have a big list and look the same in terms of font size and links, it takes time to scan and find your req. The boolean search of candidates is very basic. The Engage part of CRM is kind of rough. Review Source DB DeeDee B. Sr. Technical Recruiter Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Would be better if they had good Customer Support and their platform was more stable" December 7, 2017 4.0 It's not horrible, if you've never used an ATS before, you'll think it's terrific. If you've used some of the others like Level or Greenhouse, you'll think it's fair but not great. Pros I like the ease of use, it's somewhat intuitive and has a lot of good features. They have a lot of good training tutorials online so it's pretty easy to get hiring managers to use it. For the money, it's not a bad ATS, I'd give it a B- if I were grading it. Cons Their site goes down quite a bit which leaves you stuck not being able to do anything. Customer Support is super hard to get in touch with, you'll stay on the phone waiting for someone to answer for hours, if they ever do they are not very helpful. The reporting leaves a lot to be desired. It does some very basic reporting, but sometimes the numbers are not accurate and trying to get support to help understand why is impossible.
