Eqo – Employee Referral Solution for the Frontline vs. Jobvite

Orgs with over 1,000 employees and large frontline workforce such as healthcare, retail, and hospitality. Definitely for any company that is overwhelmed by managing employee referrals and payouts on spreadsheets. Under 1,000 employees, probably not necessary because the volume is manageable for them to handle internally.

Jobvite is good for those who are looking for a cost-effective option. It certainly satisfies any basic needs someone would have or need through an applicant tracking system.

Where it does not do as well as in its interface. It’s clunky and difficult to navigate, especially for those who are new to it. I think it takes some real getting used to and not everyone has the time for that.

• Automatically tracks and manages referrals, eliminating the need for spreadsheets.
• Provides a simple referring experience for frontline workers because it's all done via text.
• Targeted text campaigns to keep employees engaged with the referral program.
• Very passionate leadership team that also provides strategy and creative support to their customers as part of the service.

• Workflow- I love that you can immediately see where in the process a candidate is.
• Dashboard- The customization and overall feel of the site.
• Feed- The fact that you can see the feed from the candidates other applications is a plus.

• One point I highlighted with their team was the importance of Eqo – Employee Referral Solution for the Frontline being able to function without ATS/HRIS integrations for smoother rollouts and pilot programs — and they've already successfully achieved this capability.

• I would like to see Canvas for texting applicants further integrated into Jobvite - but I think that's already in the works
• I would like a way to boost ads through Jobvite on popular job boards like Indeed to increase visibility on those hard-to-fill positions

If I were to become an internal recruiter again, I would almost definitely use Jobvite. I liked the fact that we could set up any job application link on our company web site to connect directly to Jobvite. I also liked that Jobvite made employee referral easy to submit, as employee referrals tend to be the highest quality candidates. Jobvite really has all the tools a recruiter needs to get a candidate through a recruiting process quickly without anything slipping through the cracks. Even though there are a lot of features I feel can be greatly improved, I don't think there is anything on the market today that is better than Jobvite

After using varios ATS's in the past, I have found most comfort and ease using jobvite. This tool has made the hiring process so easy to manage and just the fact that it is not complicated to use, makes it even better

No issues (especially compared to ADP).

As I stated before, Jobvite's CSMs are very polite, responsive, and helpful, constantly vigilant to our needs as an organization and ready to help. I feel that Jobvite's support has always been willing to help, but in the most recent months it has sometimes been stressful or strained for our team to submit Jobvite tickets, as we sometimes receive a response that makes it clear that the person giving support has either not read our ticket completely and just wants to offer a quick fix, or is not invested in assisting and merely suggests ways that we can help ourselves (even in urgent circumstances when we are pressed for time, or in instances where they have done something for us before).

Had phone training. Lots of webinars. Generally pretty good. Not enough time to learn. User community exists, but haven’t used.

It forces you to evaluate your own business process.
