December 18, 2025 5.0 It’s been a positive experience over the last year or two and we are pretty happy with being able to use it as part of our hiring process Pros User friendliness and the ability to customize the hiring pipeline, including adding a prescreen questionnaire Cons Not knowing how each applicant found us or what platform they used. Applicants are still finding ways to bypass looking at the job ad when applying Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) We wanted to try a new platform to reach a bigger audience Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Area Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent, straightforward ATS" February 3, 2025 5.0 It's been terrific! Site is super easy and the support provided is quick and straightforward. Pros Simple to use. Easy to get started. Invaluable that you can post to multiple boards at one time. Not overly complicated. Cons When editing settings on job postings, it needs to be re-reviewed by the VIVAHR team, regardless of the change made. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Cost, ease of use, can post to multiple job boards Review Source Response from VIVAHR March 3, 2025 Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that you find our ATS simple, easy to use, and invaluable for posting across multiple job boards.

Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effortless Recruiting, Every Time" January 9, 2026 5.0 The platform makes hiring faster, more organized, and more efficient. From posting jobs to screening candidates, and keeping communication seamless, everything is in one place. I’ve especially appreciated the time-saving features and the focus on creating a positive candidate experience. It’s made a noticeable difference in how smoothly we manage hiring as a small team. Pros How it streamlines the entire hiring process. From posting jobs across multiple boards in just a few clicks to AI-powered resume screening, it saves so much time and effort. The customer support is also quick to respond and very helpful. And we've saved so much money from how we were just posting on Indeed. Cons While the platform is powerful, there’s a small learning curve for teams who are new to it. That said, once you’re familiar, it really makes hiring much easier and more efficient. Review Source NP Nicole P. Office manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ease of use" December 18, 2025 5.0 Great! We use it everytime we have a hiring need and it is so easy to post or re open a previous job posting. Pros Having one ad posted on multiple platforms and being able to organize and sort through applicants as they came in. Cons Once you pause or stop your ad, it takes a while to come down and applicants think you still have a job posted and call to apply. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) We made the switch because we were only looking at one pool of applicants and with vivaHR we can look at multiple platforms at once.

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 LK Leandra K. Recruiter Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for basic ATS needs" January 16, 2025 3.0 Pros I work for a small organization as the sole recruiter, and in this case, VivaHR is simple and easy to use. It's easy to create job postings and have applicants populate in the ATS. It's easy to customize your own pipelines and disposition candidates. It was important that our ATS linked to BambooHR which we use for onboarding, and VivaHR has an easy integration for that. My Account Manager is easy to reach and is super helpful when I have questions about the product. Cons One thing that is difficult is the search feature. I often search a candidate's name and they don't populate because they have been dispositioned. I then have to change the filters to allow me to see dispositioned candidates but I wish they would always populate. VivaHR also doesn't seem to notice duplicate candidates, so I unfortunately have a lot of duplicate profiles in the system. I wish it would keep track of all applications within one candidate profile instead of creating a new profile for every time a candidate applies to a new role. This also makes it difficult to keep track of notes when I have to try to find my notes on a candidate but there's a profile for them for each role they've applied to. I also wish I had the ability to edit and/or delete a note. Review Source Dhruv G. Sr executive resourcing Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "go for it." January 12, 2025 5.0 i work almost everyday with it. it's around 2+ years i guess. Pros VIVAHR is an user friendly application, i work as an HR and it is very useful for me. Cons it's east to use and works nice when we give training to other employees. Review Source BB Breahana B. Recruitment and Retention Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great budget friendly ATS" April 1, 2025 5.0 I think its GREAT! It does what I need from a ATS (not HRIS) and the price is unbeatable! Pros This ATS has everything I need out of a ATS. I understand its limitations (not an HRIS) but our company is small and doesnt have a need for a robust system. I didnt want to pay for a robust system when we dont need it. Cons the message inbox isnt the most functional Alternatives considered [JazzHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/87750/JazzHR/) Reason for choosing AvaHR It had everything we needed from an ATS. We didnt need a robust HRIS and didnt want to pay for such. This system was very budget friendly without compromising on any of the ATS functionality. Review Source JG Jennifer G. Human Resources Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great ATS!" March 5, 2025 5.0 I really like this ATS. It has made hiring for our organization so much easier, and much better. Pros I like that it was very easy to implement, and that there is a lot you can customize. The system is very easy to use, even my managers think so! Cons The integration to LinkedIn and Indeed sometimes gets a little lost, but my account manager is helpful.

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! 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 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 CB Christina B. HR Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Convenient one stop shop for job postings!" September 29, 2024 5.0 Love the ease of use to manage a single posting and still reach a tremendous number of candidates! Pros Wonderful customer service and guides along the way to ensure the post is as effective as possible. Cons It's great, just wish you could more easily sponsor posts on some integrated platforms. Review Source DM Dylan M. President Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great service if you're looking for great people!" January 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of use and how user friendly it is to post for our team seamlessly. Cons Customization and ammount of features can be overwhelming at times. Review Source 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 MA Michael A. Used Car Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" January 15, 2026 5.0 Overall if we get in a position where hiring is becoming a problem again i would use this service again. Pros The Platform was easy to use and provided a number of quality applicants. We were able to fill the positions needed Cons Their program worked as it was advertised to the only downside was the continued cost while not utilizing it for hiring. Review Source CP Celeste P. Chief Operating Officer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic for hiring!" September 27, 2024 5.0 Pros The website is extremely easy to use and there’s many options to set up positions. Cons Because there is a lot of options to customize the job postings, it can get tedious and time consuming quickly. 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 BL Bonnie L. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great resource for small businesses" June 4, 2024 4.0 It has been positive overall, especially as a small business with limited recruiting needs. Pros I like that it easily tracks candidates and that you can customize the information you collect about them. We like the questionnaires and being able to communicate with them through the platform. We can move them from applicant through the process to hired. We also have had a lot of luck with getting applicants and have hired 13 people in 6 months. Cons It's a little clunky when you're trying to sort out disqualified applicants from those moving forward in the process. I have to click around to get to the people who are not disqualified and it's sometimes a little messy getting from an email regarding a new applicant to get to the actual applicant. Some issues have been addressed and it seems like a newer company who is still building the technology behind their product. Switched from [JazzHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/87750/JazzHR/) Jazz was very expensive for what we needed it for. Review Source MS McKinley S. Owner Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quality for less!" June 5, 2024 5.0 Pros I used another platform that cost me thousands each month with no results. VivaHR has been the source of almost all of my hires! Cons Not much really, it's hard for me to find where each candidate source is but I probably just need to read into it a bit more Alternatives considered [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/)[Craigslist Posting](https://www.capterra.com/p/68188/Craigslist-Posting-Manager/) Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) cost, the fees were too high and I didn't get results Review Source RT Rebekah T. VP of HR Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Useful" June 5, 2024 4.0 Pros I like that it posts to multiple job boards for you all at one time. Cons There are multiple steps to complete before posting a job. It would be nice if it just walked you through a step-by-step process. Review Source ZC Zaccia C. Chief Executive Officer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple and effective" June 3, 2024 5.0 Pros The website is very easy to use and easy to manage! Cons The verification process took longer than expected. Review Source JF Joshua F. President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love being able to showcase our culture to applicants!" May 14, 2024 5.0 Pros Having the applicants seeing our values and culture profile helps weed out the wrong people! Cons I wish it would integrate with some of our other software. Switched from [Indeed for Employers](https://www.capterra.com/p/161381/Indeed/) Needed to post to more places and love the culture profile Review Source Response from VIVAHR October 10, 2024 We are so thrilled you're using the culture profiles with your job postings. Thank you for taking the time to view our ATS! Kyle N. Founder Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Team Hiring = Successful Hiring" February 23, 2021 5.0 I've been a big fan of VIVAHR. in the 12 months we have been using this product, they have rolled out new features almost EVERY month...and our price is locked in. Great value. Pros We love the convenience of using VIVAHR as a team to hire. The most important feature for us was the ability to share notes and see in real time the hiring process. We are huge fans of the pipeline view to see where our holes and bottlenecks in hiring have been. Great applicant tracking system for the price. Highly recommend for a company needing something professional but doesn't want to pay for all the high-end features. Cons The ability to build a custom careers page was a bit lacking. It was super easy to get the jobs to load in our website with the copy/paste of their script, but was hoping for a full page builder. Review Source JP Jack P. Senior Account Manager Biotechnology Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Helpful Hiring Tool For Growing Company" August 14, 2019 5.0 We are hiring for entry level customer service representatives. I was really impressed when I got the first email notification of our candidate within about 3 hours of posting the job. The candidate had a source tag of Indeed. Within 24 hours I had probably close to 30 new applicants from about 6 different job boards. I was impressed enough with that first trial period, we jumped to the paid plan to get more candidates a bit faster. Pros I loved the simplicity of this software. I've used other ATS products which over complicate everything. This was very easy out of the box. To create my account, post my first job and sync with our website was less than 1 hour. Unheard of! I did have one question about building our careers page. I called their support number and someone answered and walked me through the steps very quickly. Cons I wish there were some email automation options when I get a candidate. I did see there are templates I can save, but for my high volume hiring, would be nice to automate that. Alternatives considered [Breezy](https://www.capterra.com/p/141702/Breezy-HR/)[Lever](https://www.capterra.com/p/142452/Lever/) Reason for choosing AvaHR Simplicity and price were our main considerations. Switched from [Workable](https://www.capterra.com/p/130175/Workable/) It really became a bigger tool than what we wanted. Their price was going up way too often for less features.
