VP Talent Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Incredibly easy hiring software" March 19, 2022 5.0 Fantastic hiring experience. Love the ability to publish our job to all the big job boards with one-click. Pros I am really pleased with the support of vivahr. I came to them with hiring problems and not only did this solution make it easier, they truly transformed our companies hiring process. It is a very easy software to use and that is very important when training teammates on how to use it. Cons We use a small boutique payroll company so our on boarding doesn't sync up. Not really an issue with VIVAHR, but it's been a slight struggle. Alternatives considered [Wizehire](https://www.capterra.com/p/185736/WizeHire/) Reason for choosing AvaHR Simple to use and quickly train our team on how to use the software. Switched from [Breezy](https://www.capterra.com/p/141702/Breezy-HR/) Simplicity of the software at VIVAHR Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Manager Paper & Forest Products Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "VivaHR is a great ATS for Small Businesses" October 16, 2024 4.0 Excellent; Viva HR solved a problem we had at a low cost. Pros I have been using VivaHR for just over a week. I really like the product so far. It's easy to use and has resolved the problems/ issues we had with Indeed at a low cost. The best part of VivaHR so far, has been the support from the sales/ customer support team. They have been extremely helpful and are great at following up! Cons Some of the job posting fields could have more options. For example, I mention to the sales rep that manufacturing wasn't listed as an option in the industry field; they added it within a day. Alternatives considered [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Reason for choosing AvaHR Viva is a low cost service that did exactly what we needed it to do (post on indeed for free). Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Indeed increased their costs; it was no longer viable to use indeed as an ATS. Review Source AA Andrew A. Owner and dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Lots of candidates" February 28, 2025 5.0 Great experience over, tons of candidates to choose from Pros Lots of candidates to choose from for hiring Cons Lots of candidates to call but some under qualified as well Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Free trial was used for this, will continue when needed though Review Source Response from VIVAHR March 3, 2025 Thank you for trusting us with your hiring software needs! Although we love hearing about all the great candidates, we don't control that. The job boards do. It sounds like you had a great job that resonated with a lot of candidates! Great job! JB Jeff B. Regional Manager Building Materials Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better than most!" October 7, 2024 5.0 Easy to get once you are familiar, results above average, but the support is why I would come back. Pros The support. Always there, always friendly and professional. Cons Getting started with another HR program. Alternatives considered [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Reason for choosing AvaHR Give them a chance, they are really nice to work with, and are considerate of my time. Review Source JB Jessica B. HR Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One stop shop for your hiring needs" September 27, 2024 5.0 I absolutely love it, better than Indeed Pros It shoots out your job posting to multiple places Cons Receiving applications with no resume or anything Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Viva post it to many job boards, not just one. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Department Director Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect Hiring Software for A Growing Company" June 24, 2021 5.0 Loved hiring while using vivahr. The software has made my life very easy to build and posting a job. Pros Love the convenience of VIVAHR. They have been so great at adding in new features on a regular basis. I like their customer service the most. They have taken the time to always make sure I am having a great experience. Finding great employees can be hard. We have found that posting a job listing online is only the first challenge. When we got Viva, we were amazed at how easy it was to build our job description and publish our job to all the top job boards online. We didn't have to do anything more. When candidate volume is tough (our industry is competitive) we will use their internal job boost tool. It features the job and we get candidates in pretty quickly. Cons Not a lot that I don't just love about viva. Their platform does not have a mobile app. I am not sure if I'd even honestly use it, but some times on the road, it would be nice to have a dedicated app to add notes or review a resume. Alternatives considered [Breezy](https://www.capterra.com/p/141702/Breezy-HR/)[ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Reason for choosing AvaHR Looking at all the features, vivahr had better pricing and their platform was easiest to figure out and use. Review Source JV Judy V. Practice Manager - COO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AvaHR is the best recruiting platform!" December 18, 2025 5.0 AvaHR has helped us tremendously with recruiting our new team members. We save on time and money finding the most qualified candidates with AVAHR! Pros Loved the ability to choose a pricing plan that works with our situation. The implementation was very easy and the portal is user friendly. I like that we can store candidate resumes. Cons There is not one thing that I dislike with AvaHR so far. We have been using it a little more than a year now. Review Source RH Ronnie H. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome Experience all around" December 18, 2025 5.0 Our overall experience with AvaHR has been excellent — easy to use, efficient, and great for hiring! Pros AvaHR delivers great value for money — easy to use, fast performance, and smooth recruitment process! Cons The only drawback we’ve experienced with AvaHR is that it currently can’t upload fillable PDF forms. Review Source TC Taljon C. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "What I love about Ava Hr" December 18, 2025 5.0 Pros Brought me some of my best candidates. I pay a fraction of the price that I pay other job sites. Yet Ava has provided the best results. Cons I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about AvaHr. Maybe because I’m super busy and I don’t really get a chance to look into it. I just know that my sharper candidates come from here. Review Source KJ Kate J. Strategic Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Less Time and Less Money!" January 5, 2026 5.0 We have been very satisfied! I have already recommended AvaHR to business associates, and plan to continue to do so! Pros It works! We have been able to hire much more quickly and for less money with AvaHR. We were spending hundreds of dollars doing this ourselves, so this saves us time and money. Cons It did take a little getting used to. But the AvaHR team is really responsive and was able to get us up and running without too much downtime. Review Source DU Debbie U. Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Resource for Hiring" December 26, 2024 4.0 So far it's been good and we've been able to hire a number of people. Pros I like the ease of the app. Whenever I've had questions, the staff is prompt in responding and helps get any issues resolved quickly. They are great to work with. Cons No email notification when applicants apply. Review Source JM Jenna M. IOC Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Makes hiring easy " January 16, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy to post jobs and view applicants. I have hod good experiences with customer services as well. Cons Could use more features and ways to stop applicants for applying over and over again. Review Source AD Adam D. Team Member Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "VivaHR is the best job board we have used this far." March 29, 2024 5.0 Pros I like that VivaHR posts to multiple job boards with one simple post. Cons I find it difficult sometimes to post ads by the 4 or 5pm EST deadline on Fridays. Especially because we are in Central Time. Review Source KA Kat A. Operations & HR Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Just Enough" October 9, 2019 4.0 I've had a great experience. I'm not in constant contact but I've only ever had a pleasant experience with the company and team. I enjoy using the platform and we have even made a hire in a difficult marketplace thanks to VIVAHR! Pros Overall: I enjoy the software for what it is and what it isn't. VIVAHR doesn't give me an entire HR Suite of tools I don't need (or want to pay for) for a company of 70 people and it allows me to have a well managed and easy to use Applicant Tracking System. Other Pros: - Cost vs Value - Simple & Easy to adopt - Extremely cooperative customer service Cons I don't really have any con's with the platform. I'm excited about some of the things to come because the team is constantly working on improvements and they're very transparent when talking about the kinks and planned evolution for the software.

We are always eager to add new features and continue to build the best recruiting tool possible! Ali B. 3rd Party Renewal Representative Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect Fit for our Team" January 26, 2021 5.0 It has been a game changer for our team, we have the ability to create a strong team by quickly adding qualified hires using VIVAHR Pros I love how quickly I can post to multiple job boards and quickly work them through our pipeline using questionnaires and internal scorecards. Cons I would like the ability to have more options for reporting metrics. Review Source Denise R. N. CEO/Owner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great ATS for Recruiters" October 9, 2018 5.0 I have been pleased with VivaHR overall. The company has really been incredibly kind when I have contacted them with any questions or issues, and I am always able to speak with an actual person when I call. They also make sure that I am able to use their system to meet the needs of my company. I have used other systems in the past, but VivaHR is truly top notch in caring about their customers. Pros VivaHR provides a visually appealing, easy to use platform for recruiters. I am able to view resumes of candidates and share them with my clients to receive immediate feedback. It also allows me to display open jobs thorugh my company's website and posts open jobs on national job boards. Cons I cannot find any negative points about the software. Review Source KW Kendal W. recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent software" February 26, 2021 5.0 Pros We love being able to share and see in real time the notes as we recruit. The applicant tracking is great as well as the pipeline view to monitor bottlenecks. We highly recommend this to any company needing professional grade without the high price tag. Cons Hopefully in future builds we can utilize a better process than copy/paste scripts for job leads. Review Source RW Roxanne W. Founder-CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easier" November 28, 2018 5.0 Pros I like VIVAHR much better than the others that are being offered. It is straight to the point. It is simple and more efficient. I receive much more results in candidates than other ATS systems. As a result, I am seriously looking to upgrade. I get answers right away by one phone call. This is very effective. I can collaborate with the team in a more simpler form. Cons At this point, it makes sense. I cannot find any other software to compete. Review Source JS James S. Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best software for hiring " February 1, 2021 5.0 It worked. I went from 1 employee to 10 in 6 months. Interviewed over 100. It was so simple. Pros The simplicity. Having all the details in one place. Posted to all different sites. This was a dream come true and for only a couple of bucks. It was cheap comparatively . Cons Nothing. Honestly it had every detail down. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Bc this worked on more platforms. Review Source Abdullokh A.

September 23, 2019 5.0 VIVA HR has provided us with the most quality candidates above and beyond just posting on Indeed, Craigslist or the ASU or MCC job boards. Pros I love that I can ask preliminary questions to eliminate candidates that do not meet the minimum requirements before spending time coordinating an interview.
