JazzHR vs. Jobvite

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.

Jobvite is good for those who are looking for a cost-effective option. It certainly satisfies any basic needs someone would have or need through an applicant tracking system.

Where it does not do as well as in its interface. It’s clunky and difficult to navigate, especially for those who are new to it. I think it takes some real getting used to and not everyone has the time for that.

• 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.

• Workflow- I love that you can immediately see where in the process a candidate is.
• Dashboard- The customization and overall feel of the site.
• Feed- The fact that you can see the feed from the candidates other applications is a plus.

Incentivized

• 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.)

• I would like to see Canvas for texting applicants further integrated into Jobvite - but I think that's already in the works
• I would like a way to boost ads through Jobvite on popular job boards like Indeed to increase visibility on those hard-to-fill positions

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

If I were to become an internal recruiter again, I would almost definitely use Jobvite. I liked the fact that we could set up any job application link on our company web site to connect directly to Jobvite. I also liked that Jobvite made employee referral easy to submit, as employee referrals tend to be the highest quality candidates. Jobvite really has all the tools a recruiter needs to get a candidate through a recruiting process quickly without anything slipping through the cracks. Even though there are a lot of features I feel can be greatly improved, I don't think there is anything on the market today that is better than Jobvite

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.

After using varios ATS's in the past, I have found most comfort and ease using jobvite. This tool has made the hiring process so easy to manage and just the fact that it is not complicated to use, makes it even better

No issues (especially compared to ADP).

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.

As I stated before, Jobvite's CSMs are very polite, responsive, and helpful, constantly vigilant to our needs as an organization and ready to help. I feel that Jobvite's support has always been willing to help, but in the most recent months it has sometimes been stressful or strained for our team to submit Jobvite tickets, as we sometimes receive a response that makes it clear that the person giving support has either not read our ticket completely and just wants to offer a quick fix, or is not invested in assisting and merely suggests ways that we can help ourselves (even in urgent circumstances when we are pressed for time, or in instances where they have done something for us before).

Had phone training. Lots of webinars. Generally pretty good. Not enough time to learn. User community exists, but haven’t used.

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.

It forces you to evaluate your own business process.

The software lets you re-engineer things

[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.

Jobvite is a superior tool when compared against all the other acquisition tools I have used and definitely can say is the most user-friendly in my opinion. I enjoyed using it as an admin and as a user and would definitely recommend the product to anyone looking for an onboarding tool.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Jobvite increased the completion-of-application rate by about 30 percent within the first week of using it. That is a huge deal for us.
• Time spent by recruiters on sourcing, tracking, and scheduling applicants has decreased.
• Time spent by recruiters/hr on the onboarding of new hires has decreased.
