Allows us to manage a large amount of candidates at a large amount of sites and still be very site specific
In terms of what could be improved, sometimes it seems, for whatever reason, that not all of the messaging goes through. I don't know if that's an internal email issue or that's an email issue with them. So I will externally follow up a lot of my communication through Microsoft Outlook as my own redundancy to make sure that my messages get out. So there's a little bit of a concern on consistency of the messaging getting through in terms of scheduling or in terms of sending a resume to a particular hiring manager, especially if you have multiple hiring managers. It does not have an ability to CC hiring managers on the resumes that are sent through. It only goes through to the hiring manager and sometimes you want other members of the team to see the resumes. So, it doesn't necessarily work that way. Those are a couple of different things that they could work on. Otherwise, there is nothing else that I can really think of. If you know the system you know how to work your way around certain things. Once you get hands-on in the system, you understand how the system works and you understand how to work within its environment.

Very intuitive, straightforward with a simple, easy to use interface
I was a little frustrated with the screening questionnaire set up. I felt that it could be better structured - we had thousands of questions, and this could make it difficult to find the right ones. It was very easy add a new question, but there was no way to organise or categorise the questions into groups by subject, level, country etc - so trying to monitor and maintain questions and questionnaires was a little bit tricky. At the time I also felt that the support materials could have been improved - Neither I nor the users that made up the global recruitment team had been there at the initial roll out, and so training and reference materials were invaluable. I would often create simple 'how to' videos but it would have been nice to have some more of the basics covered in the Tribepad material. Also some of the material was a little bit dated by the time I came to use it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to manage and track candidates in one place, and also when you are scheduling is a plus."
"It has a really nice scheduling feature, which is very valuable for scheduling interviews. It is an automated feature and one of my favorite things about Jobvite. The other thing that I like about Jobvite is customer service. Their customer service is amazing, and they're constantly improving it and making it better. Jobvite also integrates with LinkedIn."
"Having an applicant tracking system like Jobvite helps companies get organized."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the interview schedule piece. This allows me to see what interviews are going on. It allows me to put them on my calendar and to track that piece so that I can follow up both with my candidate and with my hiring manager."
"The simplicity of use was absolutely incredible."
 

Cons

"The user experience can be improved."
"Sometimes it seems, for whatever reason, that not all of the messaging goes through. I don't know if that's an internal email issue or that's an email issue with them. So I will externally follow up a lot of my communication through Microsoft Outlook as my own redundancy to make sure that my messages get out."
"It has very inefficient, integration capabilities with the HRS systems"
"Its reporting feature can be improved. Reporting is currently not user friendly, and it is just complicated. If you want specific reports that aren't available within the system, then you have to pay extra. We don't use Jobvite for onboarding or payroll. They have the option, but we don't use them for onboarding or payroll. We strictly use it just for the recruiting cycle. If we did have a more comprehensive package with them, the reporting might not be so bad. One thing that kind of bothers me is the fact that you can have somebody apply to several different requisitions, and the notes don't merge together because it is requisition-focused. In other words, it is not strictly candidate-focused, which is kind of a pain sometimes. You have to go back and forth with the notes if somebody applies, or you could miss some important information."
"The screening questionnaire was a little frustrating as there was no structure to the question bank."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jobvite is a cheap solution."
"Its price is competitive. It is not like they've increased their price in five years, so I'm happy about that. For a specific or customized report, you have to pay a little bit extra."
