GBUser Friendly ATS Overall Jobvite is a pretty user-friendly applicant tracking system. It takes minimal training with hiring managers and definitely helps keep the recruitment process organized. Integrates with our company website seemlessly and makes broadcasting openings very easy witht he social media connecting tools. Some of the areas needing improvement: Like many ATS softwares, it's only as good as the usage of the system. It definitely leaves some things to be desired in getting less-tech savvy managers to use the system. Also, I wish that when you posted a position, the software would pull candidates that are in your candidate job bank that may be well qualified for the position or have applied for similar positions in the past. It's great to have 10,000+ resumes, but it'd be nice if they were recalled for similiar positions. It would be nice if the system would send "follow up" reminders to be sure that you close the loop with the candidates that you have interviewed,but decided not to move forward with. It would also be nice if the scheduling system would integrate with google or outlook calendars so that hiring managers could easily schedule without bouncing between the website and our own calendaring system. Overall, it's one of the better ATS systems I've used, but there's still room for improvement.

GBJobvite 10/10 HR System PROS - Jobvite publisher - able to distribute jobs to your employees social media pages - Integration friendly - Especially with HRIS systems (i.e. Workday) - Many canned integrations - Top notch fast customer service responses - Customization - you pick what fields you want Reporting - every field is reportable and since the software is so customizable you pick what is reportable CONS None - You would be hard pressed to find an ATS system that has more functionality than Jobvite does. If Jobvite doesn't currently have an offering it is working on it. The newly released product roadmap has many offerings on it that was on my wish list. BUSINESS CASE/CONSIDERATIONS Source Tracking - Tracks the click through and hard codes this to the candidate profile Reporting - OFCCP reporting, EEO Reporting, allows for a more data driven company culture Pre-Interview Forms - Knock out questions, Knock in Questions Sourcing

GBHorrible navigation Horrible navigation. Cannot sign documents and upload. Every document is a pdf and to "go back" you have to X out of the document and re-log in. The documents have a review and sign button but the tasks never disappear or are confirmed as complete.

GBJobvite will underwhelm you every day you struggle with it Having used several ATS' for the last 20 years, I rank Jobvite exceedingly poor. Several examples; 1. Given that it is requisition centric, every time a candidate applies, it becomes a new file. Candidate notes from one requisition's conversation DO NOT flow into a common area. 2. You cannot sort effectively on a person's current job title. 3. Poor Boolean search tool. 4. No way to eliminate duplicates from the search results. 5. Jobvite is usually a very slow system. 6. Inadequate reporting tools. 7. Customer service makes lots of promises and very rarely does anything to solve issues. 8. Impossible to parse multiple resumes with Hire. 9. Most expensive (even for their lowest level) I have ever used; and least productive As a recruiter, I am called upon to find the right people in an efficient fashion; Jobvite hinders this greatly. I have been on several technical calls; calls where we put up a requisition as an example. Each time I have been severely underwhelmed at their ability to see the issue or help remedy. I would not recommend Jobvite to any company that needs to be able to search candidates. Jobvite will really only work for those companies that will only need to see a resume the first time it comes in; if you need to search those that have applied in the past, you will not be happy.
