Considered Both Products
ClearCompany
Chose ClearCompany
No comparison. It's apples to oranges when comparing. Clear Company is well-rounded and willing to collaborate to make it right for each company. Most other platforms make you adapt to the product they think is best without individual company needs in mind.
Chose ClearCompany
Communication is much easier in ClearCompany; processes are less cumbersome and making changes in the system is much easier. It's great for organizations that need to be nimble or may be evolving in their Talent Acquisition processes.
Chose ClearCompany
We selected Clear because it is comprehensive. It also allows for video screenings in the application process and that feature saves us time during the interview process. Companies like HigherMe don't provide that. We also utilize Jolt for checklists. Clear unfortunately …
Chose ClearCompany
The comparison was night and day. ClearCompany has the ability to grow with our organization with an all encompassing platform.
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany is the most straightforward product I have used. Every other ATS has had too many bells and whistles that show on your website and aren't used. Many are really difficult to navigate or don't have offer letter creation or interview scheduling capabilities.
Chose ClearCompany
At first, I liked Jazz better. I thought the interface was easier and looked better. However, after using ClearCompany for a few months, and a few updates later, I think ClearCompany is the better of the two choices. The applicant grading in ClearCompany is much better, has …
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany is so much more user-friendly and intuitive.
Chose ClearCompany
I cannot compare ClearCompany to other products but it's worth the investment and blows pen and paper evaluations out of the water!
Chose ClearCompany
The one main feature ClearCompany has that others don't, is the texting feature in the recruitment module.
Chose ClearCompany
I selected it because it looked really great at the time and they were offering a huge discount.
Chose ClearCompany
We switched from Hireology to ClearCompany, mainly for the price point. We also felt that CC could offer a bit more of a custom ATS. There are moments, though, where our management team feels that they received more applicants with Hireology than ClearCompany. I think part of …
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany has a lot of fresh ideas and functionality, but the system doesn't compare to any of the previous ATS systems I have used, and this is based on basic user interfaces and ease of use. ClearCompany doesn't have options set in place to keep companies compliant, and …
Chose ClearCompany
We went with ClearCompany based on their level of customer service. Paycom is who we use for our payroll and other HR tasks, but, the level of service and price was the reason we went with ClearCompany. They've been extremely attentive, have customized almost everything to fit …
Chose ClearCompany
ClearCompany had many more features and is more user friendly than the bullhorn system I used in my last role.
Chose ClearCompany
HRM has been our provider for some time now. We've evaluated others recently to see what is comparable or more industry specific. Haven't decided to switch yet, but as we review products, that could change.
JazzHR
Chose JazzHR
Jobvite had better capabilities for us, but also has a whole other set of problems. Also owned by the Employ group.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR was more feature rich though more expensive
Chose JazzHR
Easy to use, easy to teach, user-friendly platform. Helps your team stay organized and on track of requests/candidates. Integrates smoothly [with] any other external or internal tools that you might have as part of your recruitment process. Workflow establishment, along with …
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR has more functionality than both Indeed and BambooHR. We had previously used Indeed, which works well enough, but the additional tracking that JazzHR offers, in addition to posting on ZipRecruiter and other paid and unpaid sites, was a dealbreaker for us in attempting to …
Chose JazzHR
It is pretty similar to what I have used before. I like JazzHR because they are always trying to make things easier and add new features for us. I love when things can become more seamless, or something becomes easier, so it is nice that JazzHR is always working on that.
Chose JazzHR
Jazz HR is more cohesive, and is more user friendly.
Chose JazzHR
[JazzHR] is a good solution that is still being updated and improved but is not a full suite that could support all businesses and needs. It is a good solution for businesses with specific needs.
Chose JazzHR
It is a user friendly interface that makes the tool easy to use. The tool can be scale up from startups and growing companies to presidential companies. JazzHR tool is not too expensive as you can customise the tool according to company's needs. It can integrate plenty of job …
Chose JazzHR
Jobvite is way more difficult to implement, costs 4 times as much, and is a bit clunky to use. I've implemented jobvite twice and will always use JazzHR going forward.
Chose JazzHR
We utilized GoCo prior to JazzHR and the broader functionality and usability of JazzHR made us switch. Being able to track everything in one portal easily without any major downtime for setup meant that we could utilize JazzHR right out of the box and start posting job recs and …
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR is lightyears ahead of TAM. Much more intuitive, ease of use, better navigation hierarchy, better integration tools, better everything.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR has better customer support and more features. It's also nice to have a trial first, then move into a purchase immediately.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR was the most user-friendly and not too robust for our small company. I also liked JazzHR's dashboard and how you can see everything on one screen. The price was also very reasonable for JazzHR where the others were very expensive.
Chose JazzHR
We had another ATS system that didn't provide much functionality. As aforementioned, the ability to post unlimited jobs and get candidates quickly were a big positive for us.
Chose JazzHR
Recruiterbox is a great ATS however it is more basic than what JazzHR offers. Their interfaces are equally user-friendly and pricing is similar also. However, JazzHR has more functions (e-signatures, auto-reject, more in-depth reporting) that we needed in order to improve our …
Chose JazzHR
I only used one other applicant tracking system in the past and it was My Staffing Pro. I didn't like the way this was used at my last company and it was not as customizable as JazzHR, but this was years ago.
Chose JazzHR
JazzHR is still the most simple for the user out of all 3 other products I have used. Lawson is a dinosaur and expensive. ADP has very minimal features and setup is not user friendly or easily customizable. Paycom is simple but lacks a lot of integration with other systems.
Chose JazzHR
Crelate is the perfect suite that offers both a fully searchable candidate and client database. They even offered a 30 day money back guarantee in response to the sad business practices at Jazz HR
Chose JazzHR
Like most ATS platforms, Jazz has similar features, but came in for significantly cheaper than the competition and totally sufficient for the needs of our team. With our Zenefits integration discount and a non-profit discount it was a very clear choice. The startup / activation …
Chose JazzHR
Easier user interface than Salesforce and Bullhorn. Much better functionality than Avionte. Brightmove parses and attaches documents easier as they don't have to PDF or uploaded (can drag/drop).
Chose JazzHR
We looked at BambooHR, some of the big enterprise solutions, and using free tools like Trello. You get what you pay for. And for us, Jazz was the perfect cost for what we wanted. We could run interviews ourselves and we didn't need all the bells and whistles, but we also …
Chose JazzHR
As with the question on whether or not I would recommend the product, it depends. No two customer needs are the same so I always encourage companies to develop a matrix of wants and needs and ensure that the demonstrations of the products are tailored to those. For the …

If your company needs to move into becoming completely electronic, as well as the option of having it being remote if needed, this is the way to go. ClearCompany will hold your hand and help you every step of the way to becoming just that! It can be a difficult task to change so much but having their team to meet with you weekly until you have everything up and running was the best experience I could have asked for.

Since it allows you to tag candidates based on their level of talent or potential utility to the company, it is best used to identify the best prospects in large operations, such as multi-franchise oriented businesses that cover all kinds of sales. It can be used to make periodic assessments of the level of employee growth in certain departments, and based on the results let us know if certain employees would do better working in another type of area, so that the overall work operations are more uniform. JazzHR could excel in departments that use a high level of reporting, as its administrative tools provide high content reports with statistics on the performance of each employee or candidate at different levels.

Pros
  • Interview scheduling--ClearCompany integrates your Outlook calendar with their system, so when a candidate accepts an interview time, it goes right to Outlook.
  • Communication with hiring teams is super easy in this system. You just tag a hiring manager in the notes and communicate there regarding candidate progress. This is super helpful down the road as well if you need to look back at any communication (rather than trying to sift through emails).
  • The general setup is very user friendly. It is easy to find candidates, reqs, and information.

  • Customizable fields for the applicant/candidate process.
  • Easily tag managers on comments for candidates.
  • Send emails to candidates easily through the system.
  • Easy to see duplicate candidates and delete or merge their files.
  • Can assign stars to candidates and managers can vote on a candidate through the system.
  • Can set up Questionnaires to help screen candidates.

Cons
  • Reporting is a bit limited - most reports require significant cleanup and/or take a lot of work to make meaningful
  • Hiring Manager visibility is limited when it comes to notifications (scorecards completed, etc.) and feedback for candidates from other processes, meaning that the burden is put on TA to inform

  • Better candidate search capabilities. (For example, I would like to search "Erika P" to show all the people named "Erika" and last name "P" - other companies had advanced search functions, but it wasn't worth 2-5X the cost.)
  • Calculating Time in each WorkFlow stage. (Jazz has great reporting for how long it takes to Advance a candidate, Interview a candidate, Hire a candidate, or Not hire a candidate. It would be great to add some reporting within each workflow stage.)

It worked well for the majority of our needs and is still in use even though I've left the company. The Resumator was an interim solution until we found a system that integrated with all our other internal systems. However, we ended up staying with it because of ease of use

It's not a 10 due to the eTemplates. If those were less time-consuming to set up and if some common forms were available to select from already set up, then I would give it a 10.

Support Rating
I had a great relationship with my first customer success manager. When I first started, she helped me navigate the system and was always available to answer any questions. They have provided great support throughout the last 2 years of me using the system. I attended a ClearCompany conference and they were incredible at providing support and showing how to best utilize the system,

Each person I've spoken to have been helpful, positive and encouraging. Once you begin using JazzHR, they have intervals in which they reach out to you to see how you're doing or if you have any questions. When you're setting up, they review what you've done and offer praise as well as suggestions on how to make it work better for you. They offer webinars and online training videos to walk you through every process.

A solutions consultant walked me through each step. It was easy. As I progressed in setting things up, their support contacted me to set a time to walk through any possible issues and make suggestions on a better way to set it up. At any time, if I had a question, they were available and there are also training documents and videos available.

We went with ClearCompany based on their level of customer service. Paycom is who we use for our payroll and other HR tasks, but, the level of service and price was the reason we went with ClearCompany. They've been extremely attentive, have customized almost everything to fit our needs, and have offered training and perks along the way. Paycom is great, but, it doesn't stack up to the level of customization, ease-of-use, or services that ClearCompany provides. I don't think we'll be making a change anytime soon

[JazzHR] is a good solution that is still being updated and improved but is not a full suite that could support all businesses and needs. It is a good solution for businesses with specific needs.

Return on Investment
  • The original ATS was costing us more than when we switched to Clear and it only posted to one major job site only allowing 30 requisitions per month. We have no limitation on job reqs, better tracking, and posting to all major job boards with integration to our payroll and website for less money.

  • This cuts down immensely on staff time needed in the total recruiting process. Has probably saved at least 1/2 person.
  • Trees are being saved since we don't have to print as much! :)
  • Consistency is so important in the HR field. Jazz HR makes this easy.
