    Chose Jobvite
    Jobvite has more features than SmartRecruiters, iCIMS, and Taleo. Greenhouse looks like they will blow Jobvite out of the water.

    Chose SmartRecruiters
    I didn't select SmartRecruiters. Lever has better search, communication, and candidate management interfaces. Sonic has great customability. Jobscore workflow is intuitive and very easy to use. Jobvite's candidate experience is top notch. Taleo's metrics and reporting are very …

    Chose SmartRecruiters
    SmartRecruiters is definitely better than Taleo. I would put it as slightly below Jobvite. We still need to use Jobvite for scheduling since SmartRecruters' tool does not work. I think in a few years SmartRecruiters may surpass Jobvite. However right now because you can search …

    Chose SmartRecruiters
    It's the best of the bunch in that SmartRecruiters is modern, feels like a progressive tech company when you apply, thinks about integration and platform (and not just an electronic file cabinet) and there are a ton of bells and whistles yet you don't feel it. Whereas with a …

    SmartRecruiters was a good fit at the time of purchase. The price was competitive and the features were exactly what we needed to move as a blended company with multiple locations, brand names, and a large employee base. The company really did a good job of helping us get …

    Chose SmartRecruiters
    SmartRecruiters lets you collaborate better but in every other aspect, especially flexibility and customization, it is inferior. I would easily choose a different ATS.

    Smart Recruiters has more functionality and the interface looks great!

    Chose SmartRecruiters
    SmartRecruiters won our RFP process largely in part because of the candidate experience. This in conjunction with the dynamic nature of their product releases allows us to stay ahead of most recruiting trends.

    Chose SmartRecruiters
    I was not a decision maker at Ancestry. The person that chose SmartRecruter was Robert Merrill, the recruiting director at that time. I think it's one of the best decisions ever. Once I got over the initial learning curve and figuring out how to shut off the notification …

    Highlights

    Research Team Insight
    Published

    Jobvite and SmartRecruiters are both applicant tracking systems and talent acquisition platforms. They have users across business sizes but specialize in distinct company size segments. 

    Jobvite is more targeted toward the “midmarket”, or midsize and large companies. It emphasizes robust customizability and analytics. In contrast, SmartRecruiters is more focused on enterprise recruiting, with an easy to use interface and add-on capabilities designed for scalability. 

    Features

    Both Jobvite and SmartRecruiters have robust strengths tailored to their customer bases. 

    Jobvite focuses on its customizable workflows and analytics to streamline recruiting processes. Reviewers highlight how the flexible workflows and processes enable a higher level of recruiter collaboration that is tailored to each company’s processes. Jobvite’s analytics and reporting also give recruiters additional visibility into their recruiting processes. 

    SmartRecruiters is also recognized for its collaborative capabilities. It also places significant emphasis on its scalability and support for high-growth companies. With this audience in mind, SmartRecruiters offers an easy to use interface designed for templatization and scalability. 

    Limitations

    While Jobvite and SmartRecruiters both have strong features, there are also some limitations worth considering.

    Jobvite is primarily criticized for its user management and orientation around applications. The user management capabilities are limited, as administrators lack control over recruiters’ visibility and access to candidate information. The platform is also application-centric, which can make it difficult to get a view of what a particular candidate has applied for across various positions on Jobvite. This can make sourcing candidates across roles difficult. 

    On the other hand, SmartRecruiters is criticized for its pricing and performance under certain conditions. Since it focuses on enterprises, its pricing model is structured for those organizations, which can be a higher financial burden on smaller organizations. Some reviewers also report performance issues, especially when many users are on the platform simultaneously or are performing high-volume tasks. 

    Pricing

    Jovite is priced by quote from the vendor. It offers distinct modules for Hiring (the ATS), Engaging (sourcing talent), Onboarding, Career Sites, Mobile applications, and other capabilities. 

    SmartRecruiters is also priced by quote from the vendor, depending on the requested add-ons and the number of employees a company has. On top of the core platform, buyers can add on SmartCRM, SmartAssistant (an AI tool), SmartGlobal tailored to international recruiting, and Onboarding. Additionally, if a company is hiring for 10 roles or fewer, there is a basic package called SmartStart available for free.
