Jobvite

Jobvite does the things a Talent Attraction Pro needs...without a lot of fuss

Kommentare: I have used all major Applicant Tracking and Applicant RM systems. Jobvite is the cleanest of what might be termed the "minimalist" systems. It gets the job done without a lot of fuss. Very user-centric and intuitive, ramp-time is fairly short. Some of the bells (Campaigns, email "slams" etc.) have a steep learning curve; this is problematic for me since I am working specialist positions rather than commodity positions.

Vorteile:

There are three elements with Jobvite that are just the best: 1. Each landing page is clean and consistent. Any TA Pro knows that every implementation of a system like Jobvite is modified to meet the needs of the client. I've used Jobvite at two companies and while there were the expected differences, the overall look, feel and function was essential the same, module to module. 2. Jobvite has done a great job of integrating the Engage side with the rest of the functionality. One of my personal metrics for ATSs is "can I get from Point A to Point B in four or fewer mouse clicks." Jobvite has done themselves proud in meeting a metric they likely didn't know existed. 3. Jobvite has sufficient points for adding significant information about a candidate as the candidate moves through the selection process. This is important for many reasons and most TA Pros know what they are.

Nachteile:

There is one issue that drives me up a wall with Jobvite and it is pervasive throughout the application. Data and information that should be passed to 1. other common applications or 2. stay with the applicant as the applicant is moved within Jobvite to other requisitions (and this is a hyper-common occurrence) JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. Two examples: 1. Jobvite makes it very easy to send a quick note to a potential candidate from within a requisition. Problem--that note doesn't get passed to the primary email client AND if the candidate tries to reply, the reply does not go directly to the primary email client. Drives me up a wall. 2. In my organization, we have very close control over visa sponsorship. If I reject a candidate for requiring visa sponsorship and note that fact in the NOTE function, that is not married to the candidate's record. Having this functionality would save Talent Attraction team time.

Not the simplest ATS but it has some great features

Kommentare: It was a pretty quick, easy, implementation process. They moved over most of what I needed seamlessly. They have a lot of great training videos and articles to help people figure out the use of the system.

Vorteile:

It makes it easy to manage jobs across multiple brands in one location. You can provide employees with an easy way to apply to internal postings and share out jobs to their network.

Nachteile:

Adding questions to the postings and interviews into the system is a bit clunky. It isn't simple to allow candidates to upload files for review. Allows applicants that come through 3rd party sites like Indeed or Zip Recruiter to bypass customized application questions.

Working with Jobvite

Kommentare: Overall, I don't mind using Jobvite and I am always able to successfully send out job opportunities.

Vorteile:

I appreciate that it is easy to see the available job posting within our company. It is pretty easy to send the opportunities out via email to candidates.

Nachteile:

I find the user interface to be a little clunky and not always intuitive. I am not in the system that often. I find that it usually takes me a few tries to find what I am looking for in the system.

A Recruiting team's best friend

Kommentare: Overall, a positive experience. We would recommend highly.

Vorteile:

Since we implemented Jobvite, it has been a valuable asset to the Lewis organization, not just the Recruiting team, but to hiring managers and employees. From it's easy-apply features for candidates to its reporting functions to show ROI and /source hiring data, my team and I have been very pleased. The feedback we received from managers and staff have been positive. New employees (with simple training) pick up its features quickly and start using Jobvite right away for interviews, candidate evaluations, social sharing and/or referrals.

Nachteile:

Jobvite has a robust reporting function and we use it for about 2-3 weekly, monthly & annual reports. Some of the other reports are difficult to create on your own, requiring help from your Jobvite rep and/or Jobvite customer service. The Engage portion of Jobvite (an extra feature) hasn't been that successful for us, but that may just be that we need more training. Either way, we don't use it much. Also, integration is a factor. If an organization has a separate HRIS, identify integration possibilities.

I am loyal to Jobvite!

Kommentare: I love Jobvite! I was introduced to it at my company prior to Behavior Frontiers, and upon my inception at Behavior Frontiers I suggested Jobvite. The owners of the company loved it so we launched it. It has made the hiring process more streamlined, and easier for our team. I love it so much that we are now looking into the on-boarding piece, which I feel, will make it easier for our HR Team and it will be a better candidate experience.

Vorteile:

Everything is housed in one place. Everyone on the team can get access to the information they need. Hiring managers do not need to depend on the recruiter. Pulling reports is super simple. Customer service is always great. Easy application process for candidate. Easy hiring process for hiring team.

Nachteile:

I wish there were more reports available with graphs and pivot tables that are less confusing when you download them on excel.

Complete ATS

Kommentare: As I currently work with another software, I miss a lot of the great functionalities Jobvite has and the freedom within it for the hiring manager to define each requisition flow/process.

Vorteile:

Jobvite is a complete and multifunctional ATS. The candidate process can be tailored to each requisition need due to the multiple statuses, screening types and contact options. It feels like an actual flow and it makes it easier to follow the candidate journey and keep track of the email sent and received. Bulk emailing and bulk change of status are also 2 great tools - which I use to give for granted but I don't have in the other ATS I use for m current product (SF).

Nachteile:

1. No access to knock out form templates + no option to customize basic templates 2. Not all entities/products are selectable when posting a JD 3. when searching a candidate name in the top bar, it should be made default that the search shows candidates in your own req. (With then the option to see all). Most hiring managers would be looking for their specific candidates.

Jobvite is the best

Kommentare: I was able to give myself an edge over the competition. Saved weeks of time because of Jobvites social network does all the work for you.

Vorteile:

It focuses on the applicants’ and is extremely user friendly. It saved me weeks of time because the social network integration.

Nachteile:

It can seem impersonal at times. It is very detailed so it can take some time to feel satisfied that you have done everything.

Great!

Kommentare: Very pleased

Vorteile:

Ease of navigation, dashboard, very user friendly

Nachteile:

Nothing at this point. Easy to use, easy to train hiring managers on.

Fast, intuitive, and quickly developing product

Kommentare: I oversee the hiring process for a 1300 employee school network. We hire around 400 new staff each year and have roughly 4000 applicants each year. We purchased Jobvite because of its user-friendly interface, the platform speed, and the multiple products that come rolled into one (video interviewing, reporting, pipeline management). Our application process is unique and we were able to customize the system for our use. Since purchasing in October, there have already been a lot of updates and improvements to products as well as new capabilities added. They have great customer service and listen to their customers' needs in making improvements (there is even an ideas section for current customers to make suggestions and have them be voted on).

Vorteile:

We really enjoy the built-in video interview function. We also love the pipeline management, the reporting capabilities, and the overall ease of use.

Nachteile:

We would really benefit from even more customization capabilities. Even though we love the video interview function, many of our applicants experience technical difficulties with it so it may help to make some system improvements there.

All in one HR platform you will ever require.

Vorteile:

Jobvite is a one-stop shop for all of your job and employment needs! They offer different platforms such as HR/Payroll, Time & Labor, Onboarding, Recruiting, Surveys, and Community to keep everything organized and easy to access. With such a comprehensive system in place, you can rest assured that all aspects of your business are being handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

Nachteile:

Many times, it makes updates that disrupt the existing methods of doing things. Unfortunately, customers are usually not informed of these changes and both employees and employers face difficulties as a result. I think they should drop notifications about the changes and release documents.

It was fine

Vorteile:

It did the job. It was not as robust as other ATSs I have used in the past but it did the job fine. There was not a lot of additional functionality (reporting, posting on multiple sites, DE&I, etc.) but it was good at collecting applicants and feedback.

Nachteile:

It was very basic. We were previously using a much more modern system with better reporting and a better UI/UX. I didn't feel like there was a huge value add, other than the basic functions of an ATS.

Just “Ok” if you’ve never used an ATS before

Kommentare: generally lackluster experience using JV

Vorteile:

I picked it relatively quickly when I was learning it. There’s not a ton to learn if you don’t go into reporting/analytics so the ramp is easy-ish.

Nachteile:

Reporting and analytics tools are lacking, candidate/applicant tracking is sub-par.

Great ATS that's Constantly Improving

Kommentare: Overall I have had a good experience with Jobvite and I really like how we are able to post positions simultaneously to all the best job boards.

Vorteile:

It's great for applicant tracking as well as automating certain things like candidate scheduling, mass messaging, and resume review. Publisher is also great for automating LinkedIn posts that advertise positions. We recently started using engage which allows us to setup web/email marketing campaigns which is a great feature for targeting niche candidates like people in tech.

Nachteile:

When I email candidates via Jobvite, all of their messages are attached to the same email which can sometimes be confusing and has caused me to miss emails from them when they all come in at the same time. I also wish that Jobvite had a function where the HR team could approve the offer letter once it has been generated before it gets sent to the candidate.

A good, well-rounded ATS, but not the most modern one

Vorteile:

Jobvite is a tool that becomes highly visible in an organisation. All employees, hiring managers and recruiters get one common place to interact. It's puts a lot of structure in place in a quite easy to use way and you will find yourself relying on the system for feedback and candidate communication. If you don't have a ATS already and if you want to get started with something that becomes a highly used tool for the entire company it's great. The tool integrates well with LinkedIn Recruiter and other platforms. It's good at tracking where candidates comes from if your recruiters use the tool correctly.

Nachteile:

It's CRM functionality is not the greatest and if you want to use Jobvite as a sourcing tool it's not the best. The reporting tool is not great if you do any customisation to Jobvite. Quite often you find that you just need to export data to excel to find what you are looking for. Jobvite had some automatization but it's not as good as other ATS. The pace of development is quite slow. Over the years you only see a few limited functions being added and it leaves you with a feeling that you might need to switch ATS in the longer term. It's not the most modern ATS outthere and if they don't step up their development speed it's will be obsolete in the next few years.

Easy to use but still can get better

Kommentare: It's very easy to maintain data in the tool and hence our Talent Acquisition Team's work is more transparent to the stakeholders. We also get to know where are the delays in the interview process or offer approval process

Vorteile:

- It's very consumer friendly. If the consumer hasn't used any ATS tool ever, Jobvite has a very easy UI and anyone can pick it up quite quickly without any formal training. - I really appreciate the quick help I get from the Customer Support team, they are just simply awesome.

Nachteile:

I would rather write "What could be better" rather than writing any cons It will be really great if the users can create more and more reports rather than going back and forth with your team, there are many times that there is some amount of data that we require but we can't create the report from scratch and have to keep scrolling through already available reports

Jobvite Review

Kommentare: The ability to have all candidates in one place and run reporting on the several data points has been very valuable. The reporting is still a work in progress for our needs.
Since using Jobvite we have been able to provide reliable reporting to our hiring managers and executive team.

Vorteile:

It serves as a receptacle for all candidates, the ability to communicate with multiple candidates at one time. It's a time saver. The reporting is helpful, the product is easy to navigate. It serves as a one stop product for all things recruiting related from, communicating with hiring managers to candidates and everything in between.

Nachteile:

The reporting could be stronger, an more fluid approach with LinkedIn Recruiter, and better email options. The ability to add a signature in the email templates that doesn't look generic.

Best way to manage hiring process!

Kommentare: We used to have trouble managing job postings across multiple platforms and it was hard for different hiring managers to work with HR to know if they had candidates. Everyone was on a different page or doing their own approach to hiring and we weren't getting the right candidates. Now everyone can log in to one interface for quick and easy updates across every job.

Vorteile:

I like being able to track candidates throughout the process from where the candidate found us to where in the application stage they are, Jobvite gives so much usable information and makes hiring the right candidate easy! Jobvite easily syncs within our website we are able to have jobs display across our site and easily update them in Jobvite. I can create custom links for social media to track how different jobs are drawing in candidates.

Nachteile:

My one con is that I cannot customize automated social media postings to employee's profiles by job. It's a great feature to have and would be even better if I could write custom text for each job.

Easy applicant tracking that could use an interface overhaul

Kommentare: Jobvite is a useful tool that is essential to tracking an applicant and making the process easy for everyone. There are a wide range of features for many use cases.

Vorteile:

I have used the applicant tracking the most. It is easy to create links to send to applicants that links them directly back to you as the one who recommended them. I like how there are a number of ways to share a job posting and it will provide analytics over which postings are the most successful.There are multiple phases an applicant can go through that make it easy to track the status. I am not in HR, so there is a whole side of this that I haven't seen. From a hiring manager stand point, this product definitely gets the job done!

Nachteile:

The interface can be a bit tricky to get used to. Some controls are in places I wouldn't expect. There are multiple ways to achieve the same thing, but sometimes your ability to do something depends on what method you chose to get there.They recently updated their login technology to be more secure. This is great, but it's a bit clunky. When you time out, the page does not redirect you to the correct login page. I keep having to manually change the url to get to the right place.

Great ATS

Kommentare: We are growing and this role is growing, which means there are additional products that could help resolve current roadblocks and mounting obstacles in moving a candidate from the recruiting portion to the onboarding portion. My rep and I have been reviewing solutions to help streamline our efforts.

Vorteile:

I love how all of my communications with our applicants are easily accessible, and now with the integration with Canvas I can text them directly from within the ATS.

Nachteile:

The portal for creating a ticket or a case is a little clunky and somewhat outdated.

Jobvite is a great tool but needs to offer more AI features! #jobBot

Vorteile:

Jobvite is very user friendly and makes it easy for us to train new employees on. I really like the side bar that walks you through anything that you are not sure on. I am also a fan of Jobvite Publisher, great to have social media posts while you are sleeping... set and forget.

Nachteile:

It's need to move a little quicker with the times! Needs to have text message capabilities.. we should be able to text our candidates through the system... we should be sending an auto text 1 hr before their interview with address link and 1 hour after interview thanking them for their time. It should also have option for a Bot Recruiting assistant... one would be scheduling interviews and chat feature to pre-screen our candidates. Similar to systems like textRecruit and Paradox Olivia... do not like that we have to go out to additional vendors.

Our recruitment board!

Kommentare: Its very easy platform and help hiring/onboarding process to be very clean. Since everyone is tied to one platform thus easy workflow and better management for each profile has made the hiring process faster and effective.

Vorteile:

With Jobvite, we were able to eliminate most of our tedious documentations and follow ups. One platform that connects the recruitment team and department hiring managers and make onboarding hassle free. Easy coordination and documentation makes life easier for everyone and the hiring time reduce drastically.

Nachteile:

Changes to job description is difficult as it need to re-upload the entire description. And yes at times the support response are delayed or slow.

Cool to use

Kommentare: I had to use Jobvite on a daily basis. As a new user it was not so hard to understand its use.
It helped to concentrate all hiring processes. The numbers were also helpful.

Vorteile:

I used a lot the search tool, notes, and messages. Being integrated with email tool was amazing and I could reply right there on Jobvite. Notes was important since I could communicate internally and also include important observations to other recruiters. Search bar was one of the features I used the most since I remembered a name of a candidate and typed it on the search bar.

Nachteile:

I missed the favorite button where I could "save" some candidates. I was hiring for a junior position and there were a lot of candidates. Not all of them should go to resume review phase but I'd like to save the ones I liked to possibly move them to Resume Review.

Challenges on two topics: Boolean Search and Dashboard

Vorteile:

JobVite does a decent job in terms of our workflow and processing candidates to the next step. The communication to hiring managers and candidates and tracking that info works.

Nachteile:

The Boolean Search is very basic. I should be able to quickly view candidates on my req when searching by a name. Candidates that are active on a req somehow should have priority on a list. Also the dashboard sometimes is hard to read - would be nice to change the color or somehow differentiate the reqs. When you have a big list and look the same in terms of font size and links, it takes time to scan and find your req. The boolean search of candidates is very basic. The Engage part of CRM is kind of rough.

Jobvite Review

Vorteile:

The ATS is built out well. You can scroll through candidates, and move them through the process as we see fit. The reporting is probably the best feature.

Nachteile:

-Very laggy (slow) online software -Cannot import LinkedIn applications directly. Have to download resume to input -Search function does not always work. (ie - i search someone's name that I know is in the ATS system, and it tells me that no results can be found)

Jobvite Review

Kommentare: Jobvite is a great system to integrate for a recruiting team. Previously not using a system at all, and a set of online sharing systems, using this system gives a team a lot more time to keep organized. It is great to keep all information in Jobvite, instead of trying to workout of two systems.

Vorteile:

Jobvite keeps track of who is in and out of a candidate's profile. It helps everyone on the team when there is full transparency on all emails sent to a candidate

Nachteile:

There are some features that are only uncovered with a work around. It would be great if there was a one click button for a few features, but there is not. Easily seeing what requisitions a candidate is in is important. Also how Jobvite keeps track of candidates can be a bit messy, especially when you are dealing with agencies who will submit a candidate who has already applied themselves.
