Highlights
Research Team Insight
Published
Jobvite and SmartRecruiters are both applicant tracking systems and talent acquisition platforms. They have users across business sizes but specialize in distinct company size segments.
Jobvite is more targeted toward the “midmarket”, or midsize and large companies. It emphasizes robust customizability and analytics. In contrast, SmartRecruiters is more focused on enterprise recruiting, with an easy to use interface and add-on capabilities designed for scalability.
Features
Both Jobvite and SmartRecruiters have robust strengths tailored to their customer bases.
Jobvite focuses on its customizable workflows and analytics to streamline recruiting processes. Reviewers highlight how the flexible workflows and processes enable a higher level of recruiter collaboration that is tailored to each company’s processes. Jobvite’s analytics and reporting also give recruiters additional visibility into their recruiting processes.
SmartRecruiters is also recognized for its collaborative capabilities. It also places significant emphasis on its scalability and support for high-growth companies. With this audience in mind, SmartRecruiters offers an easy to use interface designed for templatization and scalability.
Limitations
While Jobvite and SmartRecruiters both have strong features, there are also some limitations worth considering.
Jobvite is primarily criticized for its user management and orientation around applications. The user management capabilities are limited, as administrators lack control over recruiters’ visibility and access to candidate information. The platform is also application-centric, which can make it difficult to get a view of what a particular candidate has applied for across various positions on Jobvite. This can make sourcing candidates across roles difficult.
On the other hand, SmartRecruiters is criticized for its pricing and performance under certain conditions. Since it focuses on enterprises, its pricing model is structured for those organizations, which can be a higher financial burden on smaller organizations. Some reviewers also report performance issues, especially when many users are on the platform simultaneously or are performing high-volume tasks.
Pricing
Jovite is priced by quote from the vendor. It offers distinct modules for Hiring (the ATS), Engaging (sourcing talent), Onboarding, Career Sites, Mobile applications, and other capabilities.
SmartRecruiters is also priced by quote from the vendor, depending on the requested add-ons and the number of employees a company has. On top of the core platform, buyers can add on SmartCRM, SmartAssistant (an AI tool), SmartGlobal tailored to international recruiting, and Onboarding. Additionally, if a company is hiring for 10 roles or fewer, there is a basic package called SmartStart available for free.

Comparison of Recruiting / ATS features of Product A and Product B
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.
SmartRecruiters has allowed us to enable our hiring managers to self-service their requirements for recruitment, simplifying our internal processes. We have visibility of recruitment requirements and significantly improved our approvals process using the software. We have been able to configure our hiring processes relevant to different areas of the business. Collaboration for our hiring teams (managers and business partners) is simple and effective. Candidate experience is enhanced and engaging. The platform has brought many benefits to our Resourcing business partners and hiring managers. We have visibility and insightful data which has integrity, allowing us to make informed business decisions. Our offer process has seen significant improvements and provides an engaging candidate experience, previously this was a labour-intensive process that is now streamlined and automated. The recently launched Community for collaboration amongst customers is very helpful and insigtful for how other people are using the software and exploring ideas with each other
Not having feature of referral data, who has referred
Another problem is that in [the] emails section it shows 'company name' field will show as Smartrecruiters vs. the name of our agency that will make confuse to [candidates]
Major problem of this is that it does not support api in the free version
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
I thoroughly enjoy using SmartRecruiters and have shared this feedback with those responsible, however I am not a decision maker in the process. I understand that at the moment there are lots of factors affecting the economy and business outcomes, so I cannot comment with certainty on the renewal of SmartRecruiters at this time, not involved in the confirmation of renewal.
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
I would give this rating as overall it a great combo of all your problems. With just one click you can get away with all your problems such as recruitment, candidate update, Interview scheduling, updating candidates, reports of a job perspective, and recruiters perspective. Usability is worth of SmartRecruiters. The dashboard is also very attractive and once you open you will love working on this platform again and again. I would say it is the best platform to use once for smooth work in your organization.
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).
Response is normally very fast. There are times, however, when the response is not useful. It is difficult to work with the reporting and the offer letter templates, and the front line support agents usually are not very knowledgeable. Second, if there are any issues with integrations, the regular support agents will not be able to help you. You'll have to create that ticket and ask them to escalate it to an integration specialist.
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.
We previously used SnapHire which required a different account for each of our brands, and SmartRecruiters has been a vast improvement for our business in integrating our brands onto one applicant tracking site. This improves both the recruiter and hiring manager experience, and is much more user-friendly for tracking job approvals and postings, and tracking candidates through their applications.
SmartRecruiters has unified the approach of my recruiting team, so everyone is processing their jobs the same way, which gives me the confidence that my payroll system will be loaded correctly.
SmartRecruiters has offered me integrations with electronic signatures, background checks, and job boards so that I don't have to manage multiple platforms to see recruitment/hiring information.
SmartRecruiters has given me the ability to see at-a-glance how we are doing in recruiting and our application volume to see how well our efforts are working.
