Reviews
(1-25 of 30)Jobvite is a great time-saver with all of its automation capabilities!
- Allows for customization to each company's needs
- Saves time by automating administrative tasks
- Initial set-up is a very complicated process. Jobvite provided us with an implementation specialist who walked us through each step of the process. But it is a huge undertaking, and companies need to be aware of the time investment they are making.
- Support has been a bit rocky. Answers are slow to come, and often unhelpful. Our account representative is our go-to and we try to avoid support whenever possible.
A solid ATS with room for improvement
- Interview Scheduling
- Offer Generation/ Admin - Sending to Candidate
- User Friendly UI/UX
- Customer Support - Live Chat
- Customer Support - Ticket admin and follow up
- Reporting/Analytics tutorials and support
Solid Performance and Compliance
Outlook positive, with some adjustments to available resources.
- Customer service.
- Technical knowledge.
- Industry trends.
- Product knowledge.
- Adapting to change
- More product training.
- Introduction of new trends and how JV is scaling to match those trends.
- Product SME's and evangelists for their services (more needed) to help clients learn about the product options.
- Better trading on AI chat bot programming with more drag and drop commands
Jobvite--best applicant tracking system so far
- Asks and checks for our requirement of candidates.
- Recommendations provided more easily.
- User friendly.
- Chat option times all of sudden.
- Reports should be more customized.
- Sharing job postings is great. Spreading the word to internal and external networks of our job postings is great to get exposure and create awareness that we might not otherwise be able to do.
- Allows access for managers to see their own applicants to their own positions. This saves us recruiters time to do other pressing projects, while allowing managers to not wait for recruiters to get around to viewing their applicants. It cuts down on wait times.
- The layout and user interface is streamlined, easy to follow, and easy to use. This helps those that are less tech-savvy figure out the system quicker and cuts down on redundant steps for us recruiters, so it saves time and wasted efforts.
- Some of the functions and commands could be more linear, rather than taking you out of the logical step in a process and then having to back-track. This isn't a huge issue, but there are times where you have to back out or close something in order to get to the next thing.
- The wait time after clicking on an icon or doing a command is sometimes unusually slow. If I click on an applicant's profile to see information or a resume, it can take 10 or more seconds for the system to process and bring up a new window. This issue has been raised by my company, but so far no solution has been rolled out.
- Some of the self-guided tutorials and webinars could be shortened or made more interactive to ensure the content is retained.
Long-time Jobvite user, so-so experience
- 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
Overall a good product
- Easy application process for applicants.
- Easy to move candidates through interview process.
- Tracks all communication with candidates so team members can also view messages.
- Prescheduling drip-communications for automatic follow ups on interview requests.
- easier customized reports.
- Job alerts are location specific and cannot be used by multiple locations in one region.
I love my ATS
- Workflow- I love that you can immediately see where in the process a candidate is.
- Dashboard- The customization and overall feel of the site.
- Feed- The fact that you can see the feed from the candidates other applications is a plus.
- Primarily the analytics they have worked on this recently but it does take some deep diving to really understand how to put it to use.
- Knowledge Base- Easier search criteria.
- Back Button- For some reason my browser does not like when I want to go back, a lot of time I just start over.
Solid ATS
- 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 a life changer!
- Workflow--super easy to set up and maintain.
- Candidate experience--it is a smooth, professional experience for candidates. The text feature makes it feel personal.
- Onboarding experience--use of tasks makes the onboarding experience easy to administer, and easy for new hires.
- Custom fields--custom fields do not follow the candidate from hire to onboarding. This is problematic because we then have to recreate on the onboarding side to then import into our HRIS.
- Onboarding picklists are time-consuming to populate. We have to enter options one at a time, rather than being able to do an import. Also, field mapping on Hire is a lot easier than having to set up tags on option sets in onboarding.
They understand the TA landscape & where it's going.
- Candidate experience.
- Ease of use by recruiting team.
- Reporting.
- Jobvite Engage could be easier to use.
- Some detailed reporting is difficult and requires customer service.
- Jobvite Engage is great to build out recruitment marketing campaigns. This is relatively a new area for recruiting so if you don't know how to do it effectively, Jobvite is a great partner to really establish a great foundation to build recruitment marketing programs.
- The "Jobvites" feature makes submitting referrals, advertising job postings, and tracking referrals super easy for the employee and the company.
- You can customize the system to really meet your business needs at different periods of growth. Take the time to really optimize the system to help run your business!
- They were recently acquired by a private equity that in turn also acquired multiple other companies and they are putting them under the Jobvite name. It has been very confusing to go through this transformation and you really don't have a great idea of how it is going to all come together. I'm sure in due time they will rebrand things to make it easier to understand.
- Onboard needs to be built out further.
Jobvite: Exceptional Customer Support!
- Dedicated Customer Service is available to support the strategic and tactical needs of our team. We meet at least monthly to discuss areas of concern and resolve quickly.
- Jobvite has great training resources to train users on features and functions of the system. They are web-based, on demand, and some onsite, if you desire.
- The reporting capabilities are robust with canned reports that may be customized. They will also partner with you to build reports that do not exist to meet your organization's needs.
- The system does not currently enable you to have a library of job descriptions to pull from when creating a requisition.
- The system does not enable you to have multiple logos on user-facing emails. For example, I wanted to send a campaign across my enterprise inviting my employees to refer candidates. It would only allow me to use one of the company logos, and I have four different divisions.
- The scheduling feature does not work if you have multiple email clients in your organization. You can only choose one email client, leaving other entities unsupported by the email scheduling feature.
- The system does not have a candidate reference checking tool. We had to build this in a separate system. Otherwise, reference checking was manual.
- The system does not allow you to have an external job title and an internal job title. We often find that a job title resonates more with a candidate than some of our internal titles. The system does not allow you to have both, like iCIMS does.
- The onboarding functionality is very difficult to use. We have done a lot to customize onboarding; however, it is difficult to "dial it back" post original implementation. The onboarding process can be daunting to candidates due to multiple steps.
- It would be great if you could send hiring manager satisfaction surveys like iCIMS.
Highly recommend using Jobvite as an ATS tool!
- Candidate correspondence.
- Ease of scheduling.
- Ease of working with hiring managers.
- A dedicated account representative instead of a chat feature.
- The chat feature often times out without a response.
- A customer service number rather than the chat feature.
Jobvite Review
- Building Campaigns
- Make the scheduling of interviews more timely
- Search feature
- Very user friendly
- You can only use each Job Requisition once, so we lose history
- The reporting functionality is not robust
Jobvite is in a class of its own
- Customization
- Social Friendly
- Customer Support
- Continuous Improvement
- Some settings are "one for all" across different departments/categories
- Some training needed for end users (hiring managers)
- Onboard has a "mass export", but you can't customize what is included in that export
Fantastic all-in-one talent acquisition platform!
- 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 - ATS for every size organization
- Jobvite makes it easy to post new jobs and have the requisitions approved by managers
- They send automatic notifications to applicants and the dispositioning tool is easy to use
- Customer service has been great in the 4 years I've used the site, no problems.
- I would like to see more reporting capability within the system.
- Integrations with background screening softwares is welcomed.
Cost Effective and Reasonably Feature-rich
- Post jobs
- Collect incoming resumes
- Collect compliance information
- Collect initial screening information
- Distribute resumes to job boards
- Integrate with LinkedIn
- Manage candidates associated with requisitions
- Book interviews
- Directly message candidates
- Track a candidate's history with our organization
- Book and manage interviews
The quality of support is excellent.
- Sharing jobs on job boards and social media.
- Intuitive use and administration.
- Collaborate with recruiting colleagues on candidate statuses, moving candidates through the process.
- User access control - The ability to restrict certain recruiters to access requisitions and candidates associated with their office, country, or region.
- Is application-centric vs candidate-centric. If I search for John Smith, it looks like there at 10 John smiths in results, whereas in reality there is one who has applied to 10 jobs.
- Ability to integrate with multiple instances of Office365 for calendar/interview booking reasons.
- Don't need to segment access to information on the basis of office, country, or region. If you need user access control on this basis, it will probably not meet your needs
- Want a cost-effective, mid-market product that lacks in certain areas of global enterprise-type features.
Jobvite is the best rated ATS for a reason
- Ability to leverage the platform to connect all of your users and their social networks to promote your jobs.
- Very easy to use interface for users, leaders, and applicants.
- Greatly improves the candidate experience.
- Integration with LinkedIn is a game-changer.
- Reporting could be a bit more robust, especially with custom reports, but they are working on that now with some improvements coming out soon.
- More customization with security for roles would be great. Restrict or open up what managers can or cannot see etc.
- Doing more to ensure there are no duplicate entries, meaning, the same people with different profiles in the system.
Jobvite has exceeded expectations!
- Simple distribution of jobs to various job boards.
- Excellent user interface and very simple for new users to learn.
- Customization tools make it easy to make changes to application
- Candidates are not required to create an account when submitting applications. Greatly speeds up the process and lowers our drop off rate considerably.
- Robust, simple reporting feature.
- Like to see a mass update option for assigning recruiters, hiring managers, etc., or making changes to a large number of requisitions at once.
- Wish that texting option was a standard feature and not a pricey add-on.
Slick UI and comprehensive feature set
- Great user experience. Easy to use.
- Integrates with G Suite well to make scheduling interviews and responding straight from email seamless.
- Quick response on support.
- It would be nice to make emails formatted more aesthetically pleasing for Jobvite Hire.
- It could be easier to search for issues in their support system.
- They've had some issues with upgrades and performance but usually iron them out.
-Teams looking for a simple ATS with a great UI
-Teams using G Suite
Not Suited:
-I would actually recommend Jobvite to all people in recruiting
Jobvite User and Implementor 4X!
- Employee Referrals - Simplified and streamlined process for employees to post jobs and refer candidates.
- Manager Interface - Fairly intuitive UI that allows managers to review resumes and provide input on the hiring process.
- Integration - Jobvite allows us to simply connect the hiring process with our HR applications vendors/partners (Background, HRIS, etc).
- Reporting - Very hard to use. Standard reports are not particularly helpful and custom reporting tool takes trial and error to get what you need. Its evident the reporting was created by an engineer and NOT a staffing person. Getting a "reporting council" or advisory panel to re do the reporting aspect would be FANTASTIC.
- Customer Support - It has improved a bit over the last few months but often times you have to send follow up requests to get issues resolved. "Please post [your question] on the feature request forum" doesn't lend itself to a great experience.
Jobvite does the job!
- Reporting tools. You can create customized reports in this ATS from candidates in your current pipelines in certain requisitions to offer declines over a past year.
- Scheduling Tool. Jobvite integrates Google Calendar which makes it easy to schedule interviews in Jobvite itself.
- Social Recruiting. You can easily post positions out to your LinkedIn/Facebook/Twitter network.
- Tech support via chat. There are some instances when it takes awhile for a representative to help out via chat.
- When modifying a interview schedule, I wish the tool would automatically update the schedule when I make a change to one person on the list.
