Jobvite vs. LinkedIn Talent Hub

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.

In my opinion and based on my experience, if you are looking to hire professional "white collar" skill sets and establish yourself in that arena you must use LinkedIn. It is best to be very active and connect and reach out via InMails and emails to your skills sets and the groups they are in.

• 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.

Incentivized

• LinkedIn Talent provides customized templates that can be used to quickly reach out to candidates via LinkedIn InMail.
• The pipeline feature allows recruiters and/or human resource directors to build, track, and manage candidates. It lets you organize candidates into folders and create lists with reminders.
• You can share your activities, projects, searches, candidate profiles, and applicant notes with other people throughout the company.

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• InMails. The con of sending InMails is that many times you don’t get a response back. Linkedin should have a feature where a recruiter can know if their InMails was even viewed. Better mechanisms need to be put in my place for the InMails feature.
• Cost. LinkedIn recruiter is not cheap. I wish the cost could be a bit lower especially if there are multiple users.
• Connectifier is not helpful for global candidates. Many of the candidates that I reach out to are international. Unfortunately, Connectifier isn’t helpful in obtaining email addresses for these international candidates.

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

The LinkedIn Talent Hub is a very easy to use and widely known by other users. If someone is hiring, its very visible and accessible. I have never had trouble posting exactly what I need. However, I have had trouble finding the candidate I am looking for. It tends to not bring in a lot of candidates

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).

I'm giving this a 6 only because in my 1 year at my current position we have had 3 different reps. The first was unresponsive and passive when attempting to help us. When she came out to do a demo on a new feature launch it was scattered and all over the place. The person we have now is great and is super helpful when ever we need him.

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.

The software lets you re-engineer things

Jobvite is a superior tool when compared against all the other acquisition tools I have used and definitely can say is the most user-friendly in my opinion. I enjoyed using it as an admin and as a user and would definitely recommend the product to anyone looking for an onboarding tool.

Incentivized

LinkedIn Talent Hub is a really good product in theory and mostly in use. I just feel like listening to more of the feedback and reviews from customers this could be a top of the industry product. Indeed and especially Monster and Careerbuilder are just out dated and not relevant. LinkedIn Talent Hub has a great market opportunity to jump in and become a leader.

Incentivized

• Jobvite increased the completion-of-application rate by about 30 percent within the first week of using it. That is a huge deal for us.
• Time spent by recruiters on sourcing, tracking, and scheduling applicants has decreased.
• Time spent by recruiters/hr on the onboarding of new hires has decreased.

Incentivized

• Positive ROI because it didn't cost us anything (yet). The system was chosen (not by me but I went in with an open mind) because they offered it to us for Free. The team was desperate and made a hasty decision based on cost and lack of understanding what an ATS should be capable of doing.
• Negative ROI because it was a big waste of my time implementing it and finding workarounds and working with their support team on fixes and product participation meetings for them to improve the system
• Negative ROI - it's been really buggy with us. I don't even know if or what jobs are in sponsored slots and there is no way for me to confirm this in the system. Even when I click on each job to view, it's giving inconsistent info to the point I don't trust it. I cannot run a report to identify which ones are being sponsored or not. This may be hurting us a lot more than I know.
