JobAdder Reviews

Job Adder is a great system that is constantly striving to be better than it was yesterday. With a finger on the pulse of what recruiters need, this software likes to stay ahead of the game. The support team are quick to respond even in NZ timezone timeframes. Overall I love the system and wont be changing anytime soon. I've used this software for over 6 years now. The how to videos and software update videos are fantastic for time poor people that need to stay up to date making use of the upgraded features.

The only con I can think of is the interface for my website wasn't customizable enough to fit the style. Therefore I post my job ads manually to my website which isn't great. I wanted to be able to have a picture and a certain font to fit my brand, but the options were too limited and the overall layout wasn't a fit.

Support, ease of use, unlimited email templates, gmail for jobadder plugin

Can't easily change a job from contract to perm, for example. Cannot make HTML emails

Jobadder makes the applicant tracking process easy to manage if you use job boards such as Seek (who are a part-owner of Jobadder). Being able to access candidates from anywhere via this cloud based tool is great. The resume search tool is also good and the system is relatively fast given it's cloud based.

Whilst this is a slick tool, Jobadder still has a way to go in terms of being a total workflow management tool and it is quite clear that it started life as an applicant tracking tool rather than a recruitment database.

If you value a database where all email correspondence is linked to clients / candidates then this one is not for you. There is no seamless link between your email client and jobadder meaning you have to manually upload emails to the database (sent and received) from google or outlook 365. Furthermore this is something they (jobadder developers) do not see as valuable. For some people this is a non-issue but for me, I like to keep an audit trail of all client correspondence and easily be able to access it and ensure if needed it has a time and date stamp and can easily forward this email to a client (usual issues such as re-sending terms of business and the usual issues a recruitment firm faces around the timing of candidate submissions etc.

Furthermore there is no ability to undertake a text search on notes / emails that you do manually upload into the system. The float functionality is very geared towards low-value recruitment, utilising a tool whereby the client clicks a hyperlink which goes to a jump page which you have no control over the look and feel of.

From a workflow perspective, being able to update candidate skills, employment details, add notes etc is a little hit and miss.

I have voiced these concerns but get the feeling their priority is to continually add smaller job boards to the platform than continue to improve workflow and functionality. It's a real pity as they are ALMOST there in terms of having a really awesome tool!

For now we will stick with them but here's hoping I can change my 6 to a 10!

User design an experience is great. easy to input data and then access it!

Only issues I have experienced so far is clearing alerts when you have completed those tasks. Even after you check the box next to the specific alerts they don't disappear right away it usually takes some time for it process.

Ease of Use - It is very important for executives to have a very easy to use software to perform best at work. At any given time, it should never cause a hiccup or disruption to any task. Happy to share that JobAdder gets the job done!

None. As for my role and function, everything that I need is in Job Adder.

JobAdder's workflows assisted us in defining and refining our hiring processes. It was simple to use.

I was unable to collaborate with my hiring teams directly on the system. I could not give the hiring managers access to the platform.

Integrations with multiple platforms is very helpful, customer service is great and very responsive.

Can be glitchy and slow after upgrades have taken place.

Easy to navigate
Great ability to integrate with relevant software ecosystem
Mobile app is great

Nothing to complain about. This ats has been great so far.

this software offer the possibility to get the kind of human ressources you want.

recruitments can be more easy if some tools are performed

The total end-to-end capture of processes and data relative to candidate and client management and associated relationship development and retention.

I manually transfer a range of comprehensive documents from Office 365 to JobAdder at the end of a project /process. This may not be a real issue though. I may be able to access a tutorial or technology to automate this.

I love this piece of software, its easy to use and simple to follow. The process flows are perfect for keeping track of candidates, applications, jobs available to work on and to keep the documentation in one location. Perfect for WFH teams.

I would be great if JA could automate some of the Skills input from a resume as this is still a time-consuming task when we could be doing other things.

It allows you to easily track, label and manage your applications. You can easily monitor the status of your candidates.

Unable to batch add candidates on a Job Positions.

The ability to easily oversee candidates and monitor job progress.

No comment really enjoy using it as it is easy to keep track of candidate movements and job progress.

The ease of ability to view your own jobs, track candidates, post job ads etc.

The ability to search our own database for candidates for new jobs is not as efficient as using say SEEK or LinkedIn Recruiter.

It's very user-friendly and well organised, we very rarely think of a feature that could make it better.

That there isn't a quick view of someone's compliance status.

the support is excellent the system itself is good

better intergration with linkedin without the recruiter license would be good

JobAdder is easy to use, intuitive and has a user friendly interface.

Not a lot, it's generally very responsive and rarely does the system go down.

Very user friendly, Simple to use and keeps track of everything required

Find that JobAdder can be quite slow at times loading required documents

I run a small executive search company and was looking for a system that not only would work like an ATS but could also act like a CRM. I like to batch communicate with my candidates just as much as my customers. Jobadder does this. In fact, working within JobAdder is smooth and powerful. Posting positions is easy, replying to candidates is easy, building templates, etc.. it's all really simple and effective. After reviewing several ATS systems, I felt that it was the most intuitive and easy to use system for my needs at an attractive price point. Plus the customer support is nothing like I've experienced before from a software company. They're very attentive, polite, and solve all my problems with ease. I promise I'm not paid to say that, they're really that good.

There's a few of things that I wish could be improved. 1) You can't import all of your LinkedIn or other database (.csv files) records to JobAdder for free. They will do it but, they will charge you. Seems a bit petty. 2) I wish it was a little more similar to Workable where you would import a candidate and it would automatically scrape the web for additional contact information (i.e. additional email addresses, twitter feeds, Facebook, GitHub, Stackoverflow, etc..) to enhance the record. It looks like you can add a picture to your candidate records, but you have to do that manually. Workable does all of this automatically. Lastly, I wish I could create a record from the clipboard as oppose to creating a .pdf or .doc to import a resume. Sometimes I find a resume on a blog and I just want to copy it and paste it into Jobadder. And if I had to nitpick... I wish it was a little bit faster.

Very user friendly and love the Folders feature

Reporting features and reports that can be used for sales metrics

Ease of workflow makes the recruiter able on with their job

Nothing, if we find an issue it fixed almost straight away / next day

JobAdder is a great cloud based CRM solution for the recruitment industry. It has a really simple and intuitive user interface across desktop and mobile platforms and integrates well with social networks and Outlook. It has all the functionality required to effectively manage the recruitment process, but in a much simpler and pared down way than other solutions.
What's great is that as a vendor, the JobAdder team offer awesome support and are constantly developing the product to suit the end users. The reporting tools are excellent also. Overall, a great product and quite simply the best recruitment CRM we've used.

Nothing to say here other that if there's something that's not working as it should, the support and development team at JobAdder are great at resolving it.
