We use the Jobvite text platform for my company's recruitment communication and AI applicant/candidate administrative task completion. AI programming is easy to do with drag and drop API language. You can program multiple lines of code for the bot to run and send out messages either that moment or throughout the week on your timeframe.
  • 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
Well suited for mid to small companies that are working from having no tech to getting tech in the door to help with the recruiting efforts. More attention is needed to the end line customer after the sale with account managers that are knowledgable of the product lines. The more we work in AI integrations with mobile technologies the better. This works great for getting started on a path to less administrative work.

We implemented Jobvite to provide better visibility and metrics into our recruiting process. In addition, we added texting and video capabilities to increase candidate communications. We also love the scheduler and analytics. Jobvite also broadened our exposure to internal staff and allowed them to easily share our jobs on their social media. The requisition and offer management has allowed us to streamline the process significantly. We are also enjoying the flexibility of onboarding for remote staff.
  • Requesting candidate availability for scheduling
  • Approval processes
  • Candidate workflow
  • Incorporating real-time video interview links (like RingCentral) into the scheduling without cutting and pasting
  • Ability to send ad hoc candidate forms
  • Ability to set permissions based on data components (like locations or department)
  • Ability to have different internal vs external application processes/forms (also, the ability to forward application forms to candidates that come in through other means--like referred by a friend, added candidate, etc.)
  • Ability to customize the in-app apply form from within Jobvite (vs the career site apply page)
Jobvite is great for those looking for an overall well-rounded platform. It is less suited for those with a high level of internal applicants.

We use Jobvite across all of our businesses. It addresses the issues of running ads on job boards as well as tracking and managing applicants.
  • Tracks applicants through the hiring process
  • Allows for quick communication with applicants
  • Provides direct links to job boards
  • The mobile app is still weak such that none of our users are actively using it
  • The website reporting lacks integration with Google Analytics or some other BI tool
Tracking applicants and placing jobs on basic job-boards are very useful.

It is used across the whole organization. Every worker has access to it (in different ways) and the hiring managers create the requisitions. We as recruiters use it to manage candidates and move them to each step.
  • It is easy to manage and create reqs and move candidates from one to another.
  • It offers a lot of personalization.
  • You can communicate to the candidate or the managers involved in the process through the app.
  • Offer letters don't always send properly.
  • Would be easier to make categories with candidates from different applications.
  • The notes from one candidate should be saved to all the applications that he/she has, that way we can track them easier.
Candidate application to the app should be easier with the upload of the profile. But still, it is really good to have a track of each process.

We use this as our applicant tracking system for all of our hiring. Which is quite extensive since we hire a lot of people a year.
  • It works
  • Has basic functionality
  • Slow to load new pages makes reviewing resumes hard
  • Sometimes I have issues with single sign on
  • Resumes do not always load well on mobile especially when using the Outlook web client
  • Not great collaboration features for commenting on resumes
It gets the job done, but it's hard to imagine there aren't better more "modern solutions" that run faster.

We use Jobvite company-wide as our Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Jobvite provides a comprehensive tool for posting and distributing jobs, managing applicants through the hiring process, and compiling affirmative action plan data.
  • 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.
One of Jobvite's better features is the simplicity of sending and tracking "Jobvites," or job referrals, to one's contacts. As a company whose workforce primarily consists of lower-skilled labor with no access to computers, this feature is not really of much value to us. Where Jobvite shines for us is in the simplicity of the application process for candidates, leading to a higher volume of candidates.

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.

At my current organization, we've had the need of recruiting software professionals from across the globe to support our product services. Jobvite, as a cloud-based applicant tracking system, enables us to manage the entire hiring process including job distribution, screening, interviewing and sending out offers to prospective employees.
  • It is highly customizable and we can brand the website to make it similar to our company's theme.
  • Using Jobvite as a centralized portal for talent acquisition is a great win for us.
  • We've had issues trying to configure workflows for hiring manager approvals using this software.
  • The mobile app features could be improved.
I think we've gotten excellent mileage out of this software tool. It's a great product to help any HR department with the talent acquisition side of the house.

We use Jobvite to manage our staffing and recruitment activities.
  • Great for mobile access.
  • Great for social media.
  • Great for scheduling interviews.
  • Data analysis and reporting.
  • Searching candidates.
  • Customer service.
  • Would be great if we had a dedicated personal representative to contact.
  • Managers and employees who use it have trouble with the system.
  • It doesn't work with certain versions of Internet Explorer which our company uses.
Jobvite is well suited for companies who allow social media company wide. Because our company is in the health care industry, we have limitations in accessing the net company wide.

We are using Jobvite as our applicant tracking system plus it is the display for our careers page. We use it company wide in all departments for all recruiting needs. Before we had jobvite, we were sorting through a general "Resumes" inbox which was time consuming, plus now we're able to track where applicants are through the entire interview process. It makes it easy for hiring managers to know the status of their applicants without having to send unnecessary (or constant) emails. I'm the only person for HR so I'm doing all of the recruiting as well. Jobvite easily organizes our roles and applicants without letting anyone slip through the process. Plus it makes it easy for our employees to upload referrals into the system without those getting lost in my inbox.
  • It keeps applicants from submission through to hire (or rejection) very organized! You can add internal notes, screening questions and track all communications for each candidate.
  • It promotes employee referrals and makes it easy for employees to reach their social networks. The majority of our employees automatically publish to their LinkedIn accounts on a regular basis with our open roles, therefore increasing the number of applicants we have (plus the quality is higher),
  • There are several pre-made reports to easily grab statistics on job performance or information about hires without having to do a ton of analysis (which can be time consuming for a 1 person team.)
  • One annoyance is that our company profile info (that is displayed on our careers page) can be updated in Jobvite, but then I have to submit a request to have it reflected on our careers page.
In our situation, we didn't have an applicant tracking system so the opportunity there was pretty large. Jobvite suits us well because we're a tech-minded company and people are on social media every day so using the referral piece of it has been very beneficial to us. Plus the hiring managers don't hesitate to log in and know exactly where we're at with each candidate.

Jobvite is our company's applicant tracking system. Jobvite is synced with our career site and it is the method in which we receive all of our applications. We also use Jobvite as our internal job posting and hiring portal. We are able to send internal job notifications through Jobvite and collect internal applications. Our employees are able to setup a publishing tool that automatically posts our jobs to their social networks on a regular basis. The frequency of how many times they get posted is determined by the employee. We have also been using their Engage tool which is primarily for sourcing. It's an additional cost and priced per user. Engage allows you to apply boolean search logic to search the open web for resumes. It's not the best technology we have seen so we are not utilizing it and have decided to go with another company to do this for us. They also have a Talent Community where you can either use their widget and add it to your site or build landing pages for the widget and customize it for each hiring event to collect resumes. It's a pretty good CRM tool.
  • Social media recruiting. Their publisher app allows employees to very easily set up their social media pages once to automatically post jobs to their feed and they never have to update it again. It makes it easy for our company to get applications from employees and our employees receive a nice referral bonus to boot. The only problem is getting the employees to set it up to begin with.
  • Their scheduling system is by far the best I've ever seen. The scheduling we do is very complex. We have 2 recruiting coordinators for a 1200 person company. We hire anywhere from 100-150 sales people a month and about 100 product/tech people a year. Our scheduling requires coordinating between several c-level, senior level executives with very limited availability. Some of our interviews take 6 hours onsite and must be scheduled in a specific order. Jobvite's scheduling tool integrates with Outlook and allows us to view availability and book conference rooms right from their platform.
  • Jobvite allows you to track email communication to candidates. The way they do this is to have all communication go through their email server. The pro to having it setup this way is that they can track all communication with no additional work from the client. The negative to this is that there is a LOT of room for messages to get lost, end up in peoples' spam folders, or for emails to never get to the recipient. They could be lost for several reasons but because Jobvite shows that the message was sent on their end, there is very little they can do to help you resolve the issue.
  • Very limited in customization. While Jobvite does have a lot of great features, there is not one system in the world that will work for everyone. So it's important to be able to openly integrate with other vendors that do specialize in the areas that they are not the best in and to be able to customize certain things like dashboards to fit to each individual company. I have tried to work with several vendors over the 5 years that I have used Jobvite and the one common theme I hear from those vendors is that they integrate with almost every major ATS out there except for Jobvite because Jobvite is difficult to work with. It would also be great to be able to customize our dashboards so different user roles can see only the things they need to see at a glace when logged in. Jobvite only has one dashboard for all users.
  • Reporting is lacking. There is a limit to the fields Jobvite reports on. They have a contacts tab to keep track of your pipeline of passive candidates and there is no functionality to report on any activity tied to those contacts. It's also difficult to report on simple things.
  • Will I have a dedicated account manager?

It is being used as an applicant tracking system by the entire organization.
  • Easy to edit information and customize
  • single sign on
  • web based, mobile
  • Customer service issues have to be dealt with in a queue style forum
  • Customer service is almost non-existant
  • very hard to share a job outside of the jobvite ecosystem. Can't just copy and paste a link from the career site
If you have nothing at all then Jobvite is way better than spreadsheets and emails
If you have a lot of people involved in the hiring process then Jobvite is good because it's easy to log into from anywhere (including mobile devices)
If you are a large organization that is going to use your ATS a lot, then go with a better system. Jobvite has way too many bugs still and no one to address them.
