Jobvite does the job!

We use Jobvite primarily for its ATS capability. It is primary used by HR in the recruiting function. The Jobvite tool helps provide us with recruiting solutions for managing the entire hiring process. I can track candidates easily, create reports, schedule interviews, etc. It truly goes beyond your typical ATS. The HireRight background integration in Jobvite is great as you can initiate background checks from the ATS itself. The features are innovative, easy to use, and really helps to streamline the hiring process.
  • 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.
I think Jobvite Hire ATS is great for startups and mid size companies to use. The tool is easy to integrate and the user interface is simple to use. If you're looking to streamline your hiring process seamlessly, Jobvite does the job.

  • Positive- The publisher feature of Jobvite has helped in broadcasting our jobs to various social media channels which has given our company even more exposure and visibility.
  • Positive- Jobvite has helped make it easy to keep track of candidates in the hiring process which has led to making hires faster.
  • Positve- Reporting tool - helps hirings manager see what the candidate pipeline looks like and the time to fill stats.
In the past at different companies, I've used taleo, peoplesoft, and brassring. None of these ATS's compare to jobvite. It took me only 2 days to fully learn jobvite and once I got the hang of it, I was able to create and customize many reporting tools within minutes. I love how I can use my network to broadcast my jobs and just the fact that I can schedule interviews in the tool itself, helps tremendously.

  • Implemented in-house
  • Creating and auditing requisitions
  • Modifying user permissions in the system
  • Social Broadcasting of jobs via publisher
  • Creating reports can be a bit tricky for newcomers but key thing is to do test reports first.
Yes, but I don't use it
After using varios ATS's in the past, I have found most comfort and ease using jobvite. This tool has made the hiring process so easy to manage and just the fact that it is not complicated to use, makes it even better.

We use Jobvite as our Applicant Tracking System. We use it throughout the organization to manage hiring for all levels of positions, from part-time staff to VP level positions. When we started using Jobvite, I was new to the organization and there was no ATS in place (resumes were sent via email). We began using the system to address the need to better track and manage our hiring process. We train all hiring managers on utilization, and the HR function manages the platform.
  • Social recruiting is one of Jobvite's strengths. We are able to manually or automatically broadcast jobs on social media, like Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin. Our employees are also able to do the same, and we love the ability to engage with applicants in a variety of mediums.
  • The communication tools in Jobvite are fantastic. They use coding to allow responses from candidates to be automatically captured in the file, so we retain all email communication in one place for reference. We have the ability to send emails to the candidate directly (including customizable templates), and also to make notes in the file that can automatically be emailed to various constituents.
  • I love the tabbed format that allows us to see relevant information for candidates without being overwhelmed by data. The printing and viewing functions are great, and allow us to effectively see the candidate's original documents as well as text versions.
  • There is a tab to allows you to see the history of all views and actions taken by people who have access to the file, so it's easy to identify and actor if a mistake is made, or to check the original intention of the person who made the change in the file. This allows us to give more ownership to Hiring Managers, as we can check their work.
  • Jobvite can be a bit glitchy in different web browsers. We have a more detailed online application that we require applicants to complete before an in-person interview, and 10-20% of our applicants have challenges with completing it and need help. There are challenges with firefox and safari, so we usually recommend people use IE or Chrome. There is a registration process candidates need to complete by clicking and email and setting up a password after submitting their resume in order to access the site in the future, and many people miss completing this, which causes frustration in the future.
  • The system has challenges with multiple browser tabs being open at once, and occasionally gives error messages when something is submitted due to conflicts.
The system is great if you want to do social recruiting, and have multiple people involved in your hiring process (we have about 20 potential hiring managers who use the system regularly, and it works really well in that type of complex environment). If it were just HR using the system, there might be simpler and less expensive solutions to consider. The key other selling points for me were the ability to customize almost everything to meet our needs, set up templates, automate emails and calendaring, and ask custom questions after a resume is submitted related to the job.
  • We have improved our compliance in terms of tracking candidate applications dramatically, as all of our history is stored in one place. This also allows us to reduce time spent on candidates who apply for multiple jobs, as we are able to review notes from previous interviews and use the context to help determine next steps.
  • We have significantly improved our time to hire, as we are able to track candidate communication and communicate easily with managers regarding next steps. It is easy to see which candidates have not been edited recently, so we can look into the reasons for this and drive efficiency.
  • Jobvite offers free broadcasting to online job boards like Indeed.com and SimplyHired.com. This brings in hundreds of applicants per month sometimes for our open jobs, and requires no effort on our part.
I used iCIMS in the past, and considered them when I selected Jobvite for this organization. I found at the time that the customizability and social recruiting tools were just better with Jobvite, and ended up feeling that they were the better solution for our needs.

We have two people in HR who use the product extensively, plus about 20 hiring managers who use it on an intermittent basis when they have open requisitions. The hiring managers run from our Executive Director and VPs to line staff hiring part-time employees in their functions. The system is user-friendly and easy to train all constituents on.

I am the HR Director, and I am the primary person trained to manage Jobvite. My HR assistant uses the system most extensively, as she uses it to manage candidate communication, scheduling interviews, and generating offer letters. I attended a training on Jobvite when we first did our implementation that was very helpful, and I enjoy being able to manage creating custom templates and modifying our workflows myself. I rarely contact support, as I'm able to do most things myself.
  • Hiring process management--we manage full cycle hiring, from application review to generating offer letters (from a custom template) for candidates.
  • Sourcing candidates--we have a hosted careers page embedded seamlessly on our company website that shows real-time jobs open. The job broadcasting, social media links, and easy online application allow us to effectively source candidates and track metrics. I especially like that we can create custom job urls to track candidate source.
We like the systems, they constantly make updates that improve functionality, and we are able to really take advantage of our database of prior applicants. We have no interest in changing systems and having to invest the time to re-train our managers and have HR learn to manage a new system.

  • Product Usability
We felt that the email chain storage functionality would allow us to have better storage of details related to the candidate's interview process. We liked the ease of tracking all steps a candidate has gone through, as our managers are very slow to write notes or make changes on their own. I also like that I can see anyone who makes edits to a candidate's status, in order to track why someone might be in an unexpected status.
We might try to talk with more people who use the system to get tips about implementation. We would have like to learn more about potential hiccups and try to anticipate, vs. having to solve for them after the fact. We might have designed our follow-up application form differently, as we now have lots of challenges with technical glitches cropping up when someone tries to go back in and fill out the form, due to browser issues, them not completing the setup of their account, or other browser issues.
I like that I can choose between live phone support and online case submission. In both cases, I get quick solutions to problems and support people who are trained to address my concerns.
Yes
When I was in implementation, we came across several bugs. It was two years ago, so I don't really remember the exact situation, but the issues were resolved in a timely way, and the support was great.

  • Been happy with the implementation and what it’s been able to do for us.
  • Fairly easy to implement.
  • They were easy to work with.
  • The workflow was good. Good UI.
  • More relevant than some of the older systems.
  • Social media features – though I have not seen a change in percentage of referrals as a result.
  • It doesn’t filter very well. It gives rating on how well an applicant fits job spec, but didn’t filter in very intelligent way. It's mostly on location and pay requirement, but not on really important stuff like have they done this job before. It's not very smart. Maybe based upon how we set it up.
  • Being able to report on the volume of candidates to hiring managers
  • To be able to track the funnel and identify if we don’t have enough candidate pool - before when we were on email, it was impossible to track.
  • Easier to collate feedback on candidates – however the system didn’t help direct the strategy for the interview – who is accountable for what information/ facets of an interview.
If my primary administator says let’s renew, then I would do so.
At the end, feature set and usability drove our decision. They were cutting edge at the time and very interested in what people wanted.

Anyone who is on an interview team or a hiring manager – that means at least half the company.

No real administration required, although we have not implemented everything we could yet.
  • Applicant tracking/processing: You can post jobs. It look like they are on our site, but it's actually on a Jobvite site. An applicant fills out application online, attaches their resume, and the system pings the hiring manager (depending on how you've set up the workflow); the hiring manager or HR person reviews candidates. They can eliminate them and send them no-thanks message. If an HR person sees someone who really needs to be looked at, they can direct hiring manager to review. You can really see what’s happening with each candidate.
  • Has social media features to help source prospective candidates. It really leverages LinkedIn a lot.
  • JobVite have a background check and that information should flow into your HRIS system ideally. Today, it’s manually re-keyed - not because it couldn’t be integrated, but we were unhappy with our HRIS system and so wanted to hold-off on integration.
We did not have an applicant tracking system before.
  • Implemented in-house
By a person in HR (no IT involvement)
It forces you to evaluate your own business process. The software lets you re-engineer things.
  • Self-taught
The whole system was pretty easy to use without training.
No
I haven’t used support, however, my overall impression from my team is that it’s pretty good. Our general impression that JobVite is easy to work with.
It’s easy to figure out.
I don't recall it being down.
  • Our HRIS - but we are unhappy with our current HRIS so have held off.
My team says they are easy to deal with.
