User 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.

Absolutely no customer service Absolutely no customer service. I spent three days reaching out for assistance on missing requirements for an interview and received nothing. Now it’s the due date, and a weekend, and I’ve likely missed out on the opportunity to continue the process. That is frustrating and absolutely unnecessary.

Asked for PII: Date of Birth and SSN Received a notice for an open project manager position in El Paso, TX. Read the description. Seemed like a good fit. Clicked on Apply Now. Jobvite asked many questions, including full name, date of birth, and social security number. Identity theft in all its bare nakedness. Does not seem like a real job board. Seems only an identity theft scam. I have already been contacted three times by scammers posing as recruiters to get my full PII. Jobvite is now the fourth. No real recruiter or job board is going to ask for date of birth or SSN. You enter these in an enterprise system with the company that hires you. You don't surrender PII until you are hired.

Jobvite 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.

Saved My Life! Jobvite has given us a leg up on recruiting by allowing hiring managers and other employees to do some of the recruiting for us. This is the most user-friendly ATS I have ever used, with features consistently being rolled out. We are able to get the whole company involved in recruiting and marketing efforts, which creates an excitement and buzz around bringing new folks into the organization. There are so many self-serving features so Recruiters aren't required to consistently bottle feed each part of the process to the Hiring Managers and interview panel.
