Overall Satisfaction with JobDiva

When I joined my company we were shifting over to JobDiva. We used it for 2 years as our main ATS. JobDiva allowed us to automatically search through the job boards through automated resume harvesters setup to find resumes with Boolean search strings. That way it could look through the job boards all night and we could have a fresh pool of candidates to review in the morning. This allowed me and the other recruiters to spend less time searching and more time reaching out to candidates.
  • The Harvesters are valuable as a tool to free up the recruiting teams time by automating the search functions.
  • The search tool within JobDiva is advanced and it allows for searches to be created by years of experience.
  • The Harvesters allow you to build a large database of resumes very quickly.
  • The service and website is slow. I spent a lot of time waiting for the pages to load.
  • The Harvesters are valuable but not very adaptable. Search strings need a lot of tweaking but given the nature of automated searches you wouldn't know if there is something wrong until the next day when you have few or no new resumes.
  • The interface as not very intuitive but they have made progress here recently.
  • It increased employee efficiency.
  • Builds large resumes databases very quickly.
  • The overall system can be slow leading to frustration to the users.
  • Not as intuitive as other ATS.
We are currently using CATS ONE which is much faster and more intuitive than JobDiva. CATS also automatically posts the jobs to a variety of boards such as Indeed, SimplyHired, GlassDoor and others that JobDiva does not. It does not have a Harvester feature that is fairly unique to JobDiva but it does have toolbars that allow recruiters to pull the resumes they are looking at into the database very easily.

When we started to grow the quality of our candidates became more important than the number of candidates we pulled in to the systems so we moved to away from JobDiva.
It is great to build a database of resumes very quickly without a large staff of recruiters but it brings in a lot of resumes indiscriminately, therefore you get both good and bad resumes. This system can be slow at times and that becomes annoying, but it will pull more resumes than a team of 10 recruiters can depending on how many Job Board Licenses you have attached to JobDiva.

Using JobDiva

Our company is moving to a more nuanced and focused type of recruiting style and the more recruiters we bring on, the less we need to worry about aggregating large pools of resume as the recruiting team does that with better more detailed information. The more detailed our database becomes the more we build a more reliable pool of candidates and the more the slowness of the systems become more and more problematic.
