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.

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.

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.

GBThis system makes no sense This system makes no sense. For the "Help me" portion, I have to wait on someone to reply back, it doesn't actually help you with anything. There's no notification on when the message comes through. I'm trying to do the "verify information page" and it says I'm missing information. I've filled it ALL out. It doesn't even indicate what's "wrong", it just says fill it out. Overall, pretty crummy system

CAGreat but would like more flexibility. I think Jobvite is a great tool. I think there are little things that could help to make the moving between candidates/job descriptions/postings etc. a little more fluid especially with larger recruitment effort. I have also had a few timing issues with customer support. I had an urgent request (needed for legal reasons) for information within 24 hours. This was in March, never received the requested information. I had to chase them for days and weeks. It was not ideal.
