I use Telemetry to conduct business on a daily basis. It is used by the whole organization, solves problems as it is interactive, intuitive, and continues to enhance service with updates and new products. Telemetry keeps me organized, offers multiple formats to input data that is very helpful, also has safeguards to keep data safe and not allow me to delete something I shouldn't, etc. Great service!
  • Inputting resumes is seamless
  • Posting jobs is easy and efficient
  • Tracking candidates is fast
  • Solid offerings on reports
  • I like the main screen to find something quickly
  • Easy to edit
  • Deleted candidates can still be undeleted if I make a mistake
  • Does not freeze or have glitch issues
  • Support always gets back to me fairly quickly with a good fix
  • Some resumes won't import
  • Sometimes parsing is compromised
  • Not sure of how to search for duplicates
For me, Talemetry is well suited to my needs as a recruiter. It hits all the functionalities I require. When they update or add new things, the company always lets me know and has a tutorial to get me up to speed and supplies training tutorials that I can access at any time. If I get stuck or can't figure out something, support helps, plus I can look it up as there is an area for that. Sometimes there are glitches, but they are solved in a timely manner that works for me.

We use it across our organization. Our talent acquisition work is slice realized, so across all functions it is used. My team is responsible for managing its use. The business problems it addresses are giving managers access and visibility to their applications. It lets them review candidates and communicate with them. I am also a fan of the feature that allows us to post our jobs to other places. That aspect of it makes things easy and seamless. The other business problem it solves is serving as an ATS. Since we have used it for so long, we can now review candidates from many previous positions. That is great for us. We have candidates who will apply years prior, and we can go back and look at their application and information about their candidacy to determine if we are interested in moving forward with them. i love that part of it. The only other business problem I would say it addresses is onboarding. We use the onboard feature and get to make more seamless the process of having new hires complete their paperwork quickly and easily and digitally. So that’s what I would say about our experience using this product.
  • Integration with onboarding
  • Candidate history over time and across other applications
  • User-friendly
  • The user interface is not ideal. It feels vert antiquated
  • Scheduling things like phone screens or interviews is not easy/calendar integration tools are poor
  • Haven’t kept up with other ATSs that are doing interesting work around blinding resumes/adding features around bias mitigation
Jobvite is good for those who are looking for a cost-effective option. It certainly satisfies any basic needs someone would have or need through an applicant tracking system.

Where it does not do as well as in its interface. It’s clunky and difficult to navigate, especially for those who are new to it. I think it takes some real getting used to and not everyone has the time for that.

I love Jobvite! We currently use it to garner external candidate pools, display internal openings, screen and move candidates through the hiring phases, submit offers of employment, onboard new teammates, track data pertaining to hiring, run campaigns, and track employee referrals (across the entire organization). Jobvite is clean cut and user friendly for both internal and external users, and the Customer Support Managers we have been placed with have always been responsive, helpful, and proactive about any updates or concerns that we have named. Jobvite has made many of our company policies and processes easier to streamline and share out with our larger organization, and is used cross-team by our Finance, HR, Credential, and Recruitment teams seamlessly to share responsibility and fidelity to equitable practices.
  • User friendly for both internal and external users.
  • There is so much that you can adjust or modify to suit your org or team's specific needs.
  • The application process is seamless from start to finish with Jobvite including applying, application screening, changing statuses, recording notes, messaging candidates, submitting/sending offers, signing/accepting offers, onboarding, and hiring.
  • Building reports feels a little clunky, and often requires more support, but we do not need to use this too often, as once reports are built they are mainly untouched.
  • At times it is difficult to submit tickets with Jobvite, as it often takes a long time for Jobvite support to understand what the need is and to resolve an issue.
  • We have also had some issues with consistency of what Jobvite support does for us vs. what we have to do on our own. These issues have only arisen in the last few months.
We have benefited from the organized and clean cut applicant tracking system and easy to use onboarding system, and have been able to find a more efficient way to conduct an employee referral program using Jobvite, as well as streamline our processes for hiring. Jobvite has proven to be well suited as an Applicant Tracking System, regardless of any slight needs for adjustment in streamlining it with another program we use in UltiPro (which, to be fair, is clunky in and of itself).

Jobvite is set up for all active employees in the company, though it's mostly used by our Talent Team and those who are part of interview teams. Any active employee in the company can (and is encouraged to) use Jobvite to post jobs externally to their own social networks. <br><br>We use Jobvite to address needs related to recruiting and onboarding new employees. By setting up the Jobvite Onboarding module, they have helped us solve the problem of manually entering new hire data into our main HRIS. We now have a file that can be audited and imported directly into our HRIS.
  • Standard ATS module is efficient and fairly customizable.
  • It's fairly easy to add new custom fields, although those less familiar with the system should reach out to support to confirm they're setting up fields in the correct way to ensure there are no "trickle down" effects.
  • Our assigned Customer Success Manager is fantastic and a great partner to work with on issues and new initiatives.
  • Their knowledge base is pretty extensive, and I like that I can submit product feedback/suggestions and upvote any suggestions already created.
  • Reporting is awful. They updated their reporting structure and it is *not* the most efficient. We've always had issues with Jobvite reporting, and while some things have improved, others got worse.
  • We lost the ability to run certain fields, or even entire reports, due to Jobvite no longer letting us pull data that's obviously available in the system. I don't know why we can't pull data *we gather* in our system, and I haven't been able to get a solid answer on it other than "we just can't do that anymore."
  • They've also removed the ability to share a report with a single user, which is a hindrance when we have confidential or restricted information we need to share. I don't want to set up individual user roles, set up a reporting folder, and have to move a report over to that folder, especially if it's a report they previously had access to prior to moving over to the new reporting system.
  • Jobvite support is really hit or miss. Some support employees are extremely helpful, actually listen to the issue, and provide assistance accordingly. Others seem to skip over questions and facts entirely, answer from a predefined script, and "solve" an issue that wasn't even being asked.
  • There are also often *very* long wait times for chat support (I'm talking an average 30-45 minutes waiting to ask a simple question - at that point, why even have the feature?).
  • I'd like to see better integration and setup abilities between Onboarding and other systems. It's difficult to make necessary changes or updates without "breaking" something or having to use paid Jobvite services.
Jobvite is an excellent solution for basic ATS and Onboarding needs. The more customized you make it, the more you're probably going to run into issues. That being said, our Customer Success Manager is fantastic and does their best to make sure we're using Jobvite to the best extent possible, or at least moving in the right direction. They're very good at sending out notifications on new features, and their knowledge base and client community tends to pretty helpful when running into basic issues.

It is being used by the recruitment department. It addresses keeping the candidate funnel intact, allows us to communicate with potential candidates, and create a positive candidate experience.
  • Email campaigns
  • Candidate status
  • Web application process
  • Downtime
  • Grouping on candidates.
  • Linkage between engage and hiring portions of the product.
Excellent for email campaigns—great for keeping in touch with future candidates. Issues with linkage to social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.).

We are using Jobvite as our applicant tracking system and talent acquisition reporting platform for the entire organization. When we decided to look for a new platform, we were looking for something that we could customize workflows, develop reporting and dashboards, make our candidate experience better, and give the tools for our recruiters to be more productive. Every employee in the organization is a user of Jobvite.
  • Easy interview scheduling and candidate self-scheduling
  • Automated emails
  • Collaboration across all members of the hiring teams
  • Ease of use for recruiters
  • Built in training and reminders on how to navigate screens and complete tasks
  • Support can be slow to respond at times
  • Difficult to differentiate between external and internal candidates
Jobvite has replaced our old ATS, our old scheduling platform, and brought reporting front and center giving the business more access to information regarding our open positions. Hiring managers are notified of steps taken from the time a candidate applies, all the way through screening, and they have access to information in real-time that they would otherwise not have had access to. For a company of our size, roughly 550 employees the Jobvite Hire platform is a perfect tool for us. If you are a smaller company (less than 100 people) or you hire very low volume, you probably won't get the same excitement I do. If you are growing rapidly and recruiting high volume this is a perfect fit.

At my marketing firm with a large global footprint, we are interested in attracting the best talent from anywhere possible. We use Jobvite as a software tool to aid us in recruiting efforts. The HR department is the primary consumer, using it for the entire pipeline of job posting, applicant screening, applicant tracking, and extending hiring offers to candidates.
  • Jobvite allows users to configure it to match the branding of the recruiting firm, thereby providing the same look and feel as the company's main portal.
  • Providing us visibility into the entire applicant tracking process makes it a huge win for our company.
  • We've seen issues where people who are trying to access the job listings on their mobile phones see the loading bar for a long time without the results actually appearing.
  • Using filters to narrow down job listings can be buggy sometimes as well.
Jobvite is great for offering visibility into the entire applicant tracking/hiring process. It can allow managers to configure workflow scenarios to handle multiple candidates and transfer them through to the next stages of the process.

We needed a cloud-based ATS that could screen applicants but not automate the process completely. We needed something quick, concise and easy to use. We used it across the entire organization. Many of our users do not hire regularly so we needed a system that was very user-friendly and would help them along the way.
  • Great dashboards
  • Great reporting
  • Multiple clicks to view candidate info
  • System lags and has errors A LOT
  • Over filters candidates
  • Very picky about feedback forms and individual roles
  • Difficult to actually find people
  • Doesn't send emails when you want it to and sends random rejection emails without permissions
  • Very manual system
  • Long clunky log in process
  • Must enter job descriptions by hand every time you hire even with a commonly hired position
It's just so clunky. If you have never used an ATS before, this might not bug you but it's slow and clunky. Jobvite seemed like it would be a great solution. It really wasn't for us. Emails sometimes would never send. Sometimes it would send rejection letters to whole pools of candidates. It was very unreliable and very frustrating.

Jobvite is currently being used as the main ATS system at Logitech. Managers and our in house Talent Acquisition team use the system to hire new employees.
  • Ease of Use - the system is very easy to navigate
  • Support - we have always had a great relationship with our Jobvite representative and the call center
  • Reporting - the new reports Jobvite has in place make it very easy to keep track of the requisitions in the system
  • At this point I haven't encountered any issues with the system.
Our Workday and Jobvite req sync has been quite the challenge. I would recommend the team look into making this transition easier.

JobVite is being used as the ATS at InfoReliance, in the traditional manner, for requisitions, applicants, tracking, scheduling, etc. It is also used in its social recruiting capacity for all employees. It is also used as a searchable database for employee skills knowledge and abilities.
  • JobVite makes tracking resume sources incredibly easy
  • The reporting function is nice, easily used
  • The interface with stakeholders to interview decisions is good on the user side
  • One of the main things that is an area for improvement is that the system is requisition-focused rather than candidate focused. For example, if a candidate has been considered for multiple jobs, one of the most important things for a recruiter would be to have easy access to other teammates notes on the candidate, and to review past actions on the candidate. Now, you have to click separately on each requisition and hunt for any notes.
  • We have had to employ a work around for our process for submission of resumes to hiring managers and interviewers. The intuitive function would be to use the "submit to hiring manager" step to do just that - but it does not allow you to send to multiple recipients. So, we use the Notes functions to submit resumes and then manually move the candidate through that step. It works wonderfully, but we had to figure it out when we first started using the product
  • Back to my first point - the number one thing that would improve the product is for contact profiles to include all notes by requisition in a dashboard so that a recruiter could review the full history.
There are so many factors to take into consideration. For very large enterprises I would likely consider Oracle/Taleo, ICIMS, etc. For very small organizations, I might consider a low cost solution like CATS. Level of automation required, candidate volume, reporting needs, ability to provide administration or customization - these are all critical questions, but it really comes down to workflow and ease of use. For my needs, the only true competitor to JobVite is the Newton ATS.

Jobvite-thumbs down

Score 2 out of 10

We use jobvite as our main ATS. We use the product throughout the organization, to approve reqs, to view candidates, to track information and to communicate with candidates. Jobvite isn't consistent-emails don't always go through, some of the features are not intuitive at all so this causes you to miss steps if you are not trained on the system. This tool is not great to source candidates in the database-unable to source candidates with keywords, or boolean. Overall, its an ok tool to house resumes but not a great tool to actually source within our own database of resume. I believe the reporting function isn't robust.
  • cant recommend jobvite
  • its a decent tool for resume database
  • not intuitive-for example, when a job is filled, there is a little button all the way at the bottom that most people would probably miss
  • if i have a candidate that does not fill a specific req i can submit them, however they fall into a general application, and unless I remember the name of the person its almost useless to put them into jobvite without attaching them to a specific req because you will not be able to find them again, unless you remember their name
  • cant source on jobvite. I should be able to source within my own database.
I do not recommend as a robust sourcing tool. It is good for basic needs.

Jobvite is being used as the applicant tracking system at Enphase energy. We use this to open positions, manage the entire applicant process through the hire stage. This is used by HR and also hiring managers with open positions.
  • Ability to have a clear view to new applicants. When you log in it will sort the resumes with the stage that they are in. The new applicants are highlighted and in their own column.
  • Easy of use: simple recruiting workflow and the ability to move candidates though each process with one click.
  • Compared to other ATS products, Jobvite is easy to navigate through each screen and get to the information needed with ease.
  • The Data is in a font/format that is easy to read as we spned many hours looking at resumes this is very important.
  • Perhaps some improvement around being able to do Boolean searches within the tool.
I would ask about what product this will connect to as far as HRIS system used at a company such as Workday, SAP etc.

  • Versatility. Very user-friendly and the fact that the whole company can help. We love referrals and if we can use our people to find more like them, that’s a good thing.
  • Very easy to post jobs using social networks. Our process is: Manager gives us a job requisition. We route for approval. Once approved, we post to multiple sites externally (including social channels). Since all employees are uploaded into JV system, new positions are also pushed to employees (we offer referral bonuses). You can set profile so that system automatically sends jobvites to twitter FB, or just individually through email. If I send a JV to my network, and it starts to spread virally, it can always be linked back to me as the originator and I get the referral. The site is also open to outside recruiters.
  • Automation: Set and forget functionality means that jobs are automatically posted to LinkedIn and Facebook etc.
  • Great tracking tool. We can see a vast array of metrics like how someone applied (which source), how long positions take to fill, etc.
  • Automatic candidate tracking and matching. If someone has applied for one position and was not hired, they remain in our database for automatic matching to future reqs.
  • Customization:
  • The system is very easy to customize and configure. I can ask it to copy me on any messages that hiring managers send to candidates. The system can be configured so that candidates are notified automatically if a job that matches their skills becomes open.
  • Single sign-on. Social media passwords are stored in JV so that I can automatically link to social media channels without having to log-in.
  • I can post 20 jobs per day to social media channels with multiple customization options.
  • There are some data presentation issues. For example, our CFO struggles to see what reqs he needs to approve. He cannot see in a simple list what items need immediate action. If he loses an email and goes into the systems he cannot easily see what’s been approved or not approved. We have entered an enhancement request on this.
