Jobvite

I have had the opportunity to use Jobvite to a certain capacity at my last company and now we use the entire suite with Engage. At my new company, I got the opportunity to implement Jobvite Hire and Engage and we are very happy. It has allowed our recruiters and hiring managers to have complete visibility into all resumes and we are able to communicate within each profile for each candidate. We are learning about new features and plan to add additional features this year for our team to streamline processes in the tool. We have had great account managers throughout the entire process. Thanks to Jobvite for creating a great tool to us to use.

This product is horrible and adds stress to what's already a stressful project in looking for a new job. There are no notifications to let you know you haven't been selected (i can only imagine what nitifications arent being sent to candidates or recruiters regarding other communications) it seems to not deliver all messages, like others, I have had recruiters contact me again after I sent a reply because they didn't receive it, not a fan. As HR software, I understand some culpability is on the user to make sure they're using the cute correctly and have the correct options checked, but the software should also be more intuitive for the HR professionals so that seamless communication is insured.

I'm really happy with Jobvite as our ATS. I love the way it integrates with various Social Media platforms, such as Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I also love that it is dynamic enough to enhance the use of alternative recruiting strategies such as Agencies and Referrals.

Integrating Jobvite on our public facing website was reasonably fast and painless. Our potential hires find it easy to apply for career positions we offer

If your HR department uses JobVite, I highly reccomend firing them. As a 10-year software development professional, I found the process on their website unintuitive, unprofessional, and insulting.

For example, upon uploading my carefully prepared resume (which I've carefully designed in Word, PDF, and HTML (online)), the resume was poorly converted into plain-text, which wasted approximately 30 minutes of my time reformatting it to make it readable. After 'completing' my application I was confronted with another page of "screening" questionares. While filling it out, my session ended, and I had to redo the whole process again.

If the company that used JobVite contacts me, I'm likely to ask for 15% more than I would elsewhere simply because this shows the kind of incompetent bureaucratic nonsense I can likely expect while working there.

Have a great experience using Jobvite, love the fact that it so seamlessly connects with outlook and calendar and keeps everything so organized..

Jobvite has been a very negative experience for my company. We had high hopes initially - the social graph is a very valuable asset for companies these days. The first problem was the interface - a bit bulky, and lacking key features that make workflow management unpleasant (file types, no bulk uploads, etc) not to mention rampant privacy issues. It seemed worth it against the promise of tapping active and passive candidates through the social network...

That is until a few months went by and our employees experienced spam reports from their own networks. Jobvite basically broadcasts your position openings as status updates in your employees' social networks. Our settings were fairly conservative - with weekly or monthly recurrence as standard. We eventually had to stop using it as we received increasingly negative feedback from the people in our networks.

At three months into our service contract, we asked Jobvite for an early termination for cause but were denied. For the next 9 months, my only interaction with Jobvite was on my A/P report and it's negative impact on my bottom line. Sadly, after the better part of a year without so much as a login, we missed the termination cutoff at which time they automatically renewed our contract for another year. We called them about this to explain the situation and its impact on our cashflow, but again they wouldn't budge.

I would give it 0 stars if I could. I would strongly recommend avoiding Jobvite.

My company sadly uses Jobvite. I hate it. It gives me no way to see upcoming interview requests to accept or reject them other than them showing up in an Outlook calendar, which doesn't help me much since Outlook doesn't run on Linux (which my entire group uses). Jobvite provides me no way of seeing upcoming interviews nor a way to evaluate a candidate unless you can find the email. I get hundreds of emails a day so it gets lost in the pile.

Jobvite is worse than useless in my opinion. I *HATE* it with a passion and I feel sorry for anyone trying to apply for a job through them. I'm at the other end, I just want to see who has applied so I can access their resumes and accept an interview, etc. I can't even do that!

It's the worst piece of crap websites I've dealt with. Due to our HR, we HAVE to use it. I'd have much better success if I could just use a pencil and paper than using Jobvite.

Can I please just see a list of candidates I have been assigned so I can see their resumes? I'm not a HR person, just an engineer. Every time I go to the Jobvites page it shows everything, Sent Jobvites, Views, Applications, Hires, etc. as zero. I'm supposed to inverview somebody tomorrow but I can't even find them on Jobvite to look at their resume or even to click to accept the interview. It has never worked for me. I need to be able to access the site since I get buried in email and can't run Outlook.

The only way I get reminded of interviews and whatnot is that the HR person usually sends me nastygrams to accept an interview which I can't because there's no link within Jobvite!

If you're a company considering a program for tracking job applicants, stay far away from this piece of crap. It's useless for tracking and I hate it with a passion, unfortunately we're required by HR to use this stinking pile of crap.

If there were a way to give a website a -1000 rating, this site would be well deserving of it.
