“User review - Great system and support”

Katie B.
3/16/16

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.

Top Critical Review

“Jobvite Screening software is terrible”

Jack T.
1/4/18

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.

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 is a great web-based ATS solution for employers looking for a company-branded career page that also offers ATS functionality. They are a great option if you are looking to tap into the social and mobile recruiting platforms, offering easy integration with job boards and social sites such as LinkedIn, Indeed, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Jobvite helps you manage your recruiting process from beginning to end, helping you to make your process more efficient and effective by offering data-driven analytics.

Overall, we have been really pleased with the functionality of Jobvite, and would recommend to others looking for a similar solution.

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

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.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use it

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.

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.

Brian Hartwick and Deming Cassidy are awesome! I also receive amazing support from Steve on the help line all the time. As a team Jobvite really pulls the entire user experience together to make it shine.

As for the system itself it is getting better and better everyday. Cannot wait to see what Engage and Brand will bring to our Employer Brand.

Jobvite is a very intuitive program and has made the applicant tracking process much simpler. They truly listen to their customers and implement changes we feel would better the software. Their customer service is through the roof! I always feel taken care of and if my issue can't be resolved on the first attempt they routinely follow up and make notes so I know what they are up to. I couldn't be happier with jobvite! Now only if all the HRIS we dealt with were this amazing!

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!

- 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

Jobvite is the best ATS I have ever used. It is extremely user friendly and efficient. The employee referral process and leveraging our employee's social networks is simple and effective. The work flows and reporting are uncomplicated and yet highly customizable. It is a great product overall. We use Engage and it is an integrated and powerful sourcing tool. The candidate database search could have a few more filters, but they are continually enhancing functionality. I am sure it will continue to improve.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've been using Jobvite for nearly 5 years, I appreciate that jobvite listens to feedback and implements features that are important to it's customers IE Customer support chat (best one so far), hopefully digital signing of offers, improved reporting, etc.

This site is garbage. The profile does not store any information regarding school nor work. You must re-answer 200+ questions for the same company... Even storing in cookies would be acceptable, but this site is THE WORST! Unfortunately, SpaceX uses it... SpaceX you suck too.

Jobvite, as an ATS, has been user friendly. Yes, it has its kinks, but works well.

Just started getting some new spam emails. Tried to unsubscribe from advertising with Jobvite (there is a link in their privacy policy to do this) and some of the advertiser unsubscribes failed.
Can't delete my account from Jobvite without filling out a form to open a case, according to their FAQs. But, it didn't say where the form is. Where is that form?

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!

I got stuck with Jobvite while I was a hiring manager at two prior companies. I honestly hated it. Logging in was a chore. Filtering through applicants and looking at my candidate pool took multiple clicks and was super slow/ frustrating. My recruiter could never get anyone from my team to put feedback in the system, partly because the feedback forms we had to fill in didn't match the role. At all. And I couldn't find people that I was sure were supposed to be in our pipeline.
