Great ATS Overall
January 18, 2016

- Flexible and allows user to be in control of most things, not much support needed from customer service
- Easy to use, customize and manage candidates
- Would be nice if there were more filtering options to find candidates that better match the job description

I work for a company who has large volumes of applications through Jobvite's system. I have found it extremely easy to use, from applications through to hiring. Their customer service is great. We have weekly meetings with an account manager who lets us know any new features, talks us through any problems we're experiencing and allows us to ask more in depth questions. I would recommend any company considering using them as their ATS.

Easy to use ATS for Your Entire Team
January 11, 2016

We've been using Jobvite for 2 years and have been very pleased. The Jobvite referral system is especially easy to use and we've had great success with our employee's sharing out our jobs on various social media platforms!

Good for what I need it to do
January 12, 2016

I've found that as a user, Jobvite isn't as customizable or as intuitive as I'd prefer. Some functions that would make my life a whole lot better either require a customer service rep to set up or simply don't exist. However, one of their support representatives has been extremely helpful whenever I call in- unfortunately (fortunately for him), he has been promoted and will no longer be answering my calls.

Jobvite is Easy to Use
October 28, 2016

As a hiring manage who is *not* part of HR, I was able to see Jobvite from a different angle. I found it easy to work with and was able to effectively collaborate with the HR contacts assigned to my positions. We could easily see the status of each candidate, comment, etc. I like working in Jobvite.

Good Experience
June 3, 2016

So far I have found Jobvite user friendly. There are a few small changes I would like to see made, for example: being about to see hired employees resumes after they start. I am not the main Admin. I use Jobvite for the HR function and am unable to go back to Jobvite to view even my resume. Overall, great customer service and I am happy with the service

I am an HR Recruiter for a multi-channel marketing and product development company specializing in labor law, HR and tax solutions that create a bridge between what the law requires and what makes sense for businesses. We have large volumes of applications through Jobvite's system and have found it to be an extremely simple way to organize our candidates applications. What a great system to use starting from the application process to the interviewing process to hiring and filling the position and even once the employee is employed. Their customer service and online help tools are great. We have weekly webinars with an account manager who talks us through any updates or problems we're experiencing and allows us to ask questions along the way. I would recommend Jobvite to all Recruiters and HR Professionals looking for a great simple to use ATS.

Jobvite
January 8, 2016

We have recently converted to Jobvite and have been really happy with the social media capabilities and ease of use of the product. IT is very quick and easy to post open requisitions and to move candidates through the work flow. It also makes it easy to collect information directly to the candidate's record, such as reference check responses.

Everyday user
February 8, 2016

I use Jobvite everyday as my company's chosen ATS. I think Jobvite's updates have made the product more intuitive and useful on a daily basis. I wish there was a capacity to customize the homepage and move the different boxes around based on what I use the most. Besides that, I am happy with the internal platform communication and scheduling, as well as the ability to stay organized with the use of filtered search.

Very Manual System
November 8, 2016

Have been using this system for over 1 year now and still cannot stand it. It is the primary tool I need to use and it is very frustrating. During my annual review this year, my manager asked my hiring managers for feedback on my performance and when they responded they also gave her feedback on how horrible Jobvite is. Job descriptions aren't able to be saved and need to be pasted in each time you post a position. Offer letters need to be downloaded and then uploaded in order to make and save changes. Its too manual. The system we had previously was 10,000 times better and I wish we could go back.

Best ATS to use
June 12, 2017

I have used several different ATS and Jobvite is my favorite. It is easy to use, has great dashboards and reporting. I would recommend having a good plan on how you would like to use Jobvite, including recruitment process and what data you would like to get from the system. That way you can set it up optimally. I particularly like the tasks so that I can set reminders for myself and others to contact candidates or follow something up.

Jobvite Experience
October 28, 2015

My experience on jobvite has been very good so far. Sometimes the site runs a little slow but other than that I have had no major issues. Anytime I need help their customer service reps are on top of any issue!

This software is so automated it's screening out well qualified applicants all the time. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR YOUR BUSINESS. An applicant recently applied for one of our positions and within hours got a rejection letter, Luckily the candidate contacted us directly and we were able to accommodate them in the hiring process. This has happened MANY times before.

Good & constantly working toward improvement
December 9, 2015

Jobvite has plenty of great features and helps me stay organized while recruiting for multiple positions. They are fast to respond to issues on a customer service level and the chat feature is incredibly helpful for any questions about site features and usage, but not always the best at turning around results when it comes to site-wide bugs/errors.

If you need a black hole where to send your private data and have no right to access and no guarantee of what they'll do with it, please use jobvite.com and apply to the cheap companies using this cheap system.

The cherry on the cake: highly unsafe platform trying to register the characters you type while you're doing it. Nice for hackers who need your passwords!

When I first used it, I thought it was a legacy product from 2009 which was stuck in beta mode and not developed further. This is how I still feel after having used it for weeks. They have millions of bugs and usability issues, and my colleagues tell me that they have given up contacting Jobvite. It is a waste of time.

It is incredible how much of a damage Jobvite can incur on the reputation of your company. For example, if you internally put a candidate on "Reject" or "To Reject Later", the candidate sees this entry if he logs on to jobvite. We received emails from candidates who were asking about their status - and the status is supposed to be internal only, right? This is only one example of so many.

I will try to switch to another product asap.

If you would like a system that is not user friendly and customer service that is horrible... use jobvite. I would never recommend this system, even if you are on a tight budget. The only reason we used this is because it was cost effective and pushed positions out on social media sites. You will not have a dedicated account manager and there is a 30 day out clause... so even if the contract is annual... you can be locked in further.

Jobvite works really well for managing inbound applications, creating a confluence for your external web properties, and scheduling/managing interviews. It does essentially everything you would ever need it to, and more, with tracking, and an analytics dashboard - Thumbs up!

The one place it falls short, is that it doesn't have the ability to manage outbound recruitment. Creating candidate profiles that are not attached to a specific job or application source, being able to tag them by skill set, and a more effective way to manage tasks associated with a candidate would be great! I currently use Insightly to manage all outbound recruitment, and move the candidates over to Jobvite once they start interviewing. It does seem silly that you would need 2 separate systems for this though.

Great ATS, even better service
October 13, 2015

Our company of ~1000 employees uses Jobvite, and have been using Jobvite since the earliest stages of our startup stage. The Jobvite platform and business model grew with us, and we're very happy with the experience. From new integrations to continual updates, Jobvite's ATS has been the backbone of our hiring process.

Of course, many other products can boast that claim, but it's really the stellar partnership we received from our account manager. She keeps us in the loop regarding the specifics of each update, and works to customize our Jobvite experience. This white-glove treatment is by far what has continually reinforced our choice with Jobvite, and we've recently opted to subscribe to their Engage platform as well.

Overall, a great service.

Date of experience: October 13, 2015
