Jobvite is a great time-saver with all of its automation capabilities!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our company experienced rapid growth and we needed an ATS that could keep up with our needs. Jobvite allows for a great deal of customization that we couldn't find with any other applicant tracking systems. Being able to tailor this software to our needs has allowed us to automate several administrative tasks that we big time wasters for us before. Jobvite has been a life-saver. We have a small talent acquisition staff that manages all of our positions and time is a very valuable resource for us.
Pros
- Allows for customization to each company's needs
- Saves time by automating administrative tasks
Cons
- Initial set-up is a very complicated process. Jobvite provided us with an implementation specialist who walked us through each step of the process. But it is a huge undertaking, and companies need to be aware of the time investment they are making.
- Support has been a bit rocky. Answers are slow to come, and often unhelpful. Our account representative is our go-to and we try to avoid support whenever possible.
Return on Investment
- Jobvite is so customizable that it makes it easy to automate almost all of our time-consuming administrative tasks.
- The reporting abilities of Jobvite have allowed us to get a much better picture of our hiring history and trends.

Best in class in all categories - and only getting better
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Jobvite as our ATS, CRM, Careers Site, and Onboarding partner. The use cases are pipeline/candidate management, social marketing, and delivery and communication about required documents/steps post-offer.
Pros
- Transparency - hiring managers and recruiters can see the full activity/status/communication with a candidate.
- Candidate management - the workflow helps manage your pipeline, especially with a high number of applications.
- Careers site - our site is beautiful and effective.
- Customization - workflows, forms, communications, etc. all customizable.
- Onboarding suite - can build custom forms (and use out of the box forms, too) to have new hires complete required paperwork.
Cons
- Onboarding - many fields can transfer automatically from the hiring side to the onboarding side of the system, but not all of them.
- ATS - the structure of candidate applications (one candidate profile, but each application for each job has it's own record/info) can cause some minor inconveniences, but Jobvite has mitigated them.
Return on Investment
- Increase in manager and candidate experience.
- Decrease in number of steps/tasks required in onboarding.
- Near-paperless onboarding!
