Jobvite At A Glance

Good: Identifies skills across candidates for a more efficient hiring process.

Bad: Uploading and parsing resumes is not always accurate. Solution is best at parsing online profiles.

Bottom Line: Cloud-based recruiting platform that helps companies to develop effective employees via social recruiting, CRM, and ATS.

Product Overview

Jobvite is based on four main product areas:

Jobvite Refer provides employees with a simple and quick platform to share new positions via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more. This tool helps companies reach “passive” candidates, promotes a company’s employment brand, tracks its success, and spot top referring employees.

Jobvite Engage helps companies cultivate an ongoing source of qualified prospects. Online social networks and résumé databases can easily be searched to line up talent with the skills needed—even when they’re not actively searching for a job.

Built to serve the needs of today’s recruiters, Jobvite Hire helps you manage your entire hiring process more intuitively and efficiently. The solution goes far beyond traditional Applicant Tracking Systems, providing the social and innovative features recruiters demand.

Jobvite Video is an on-demand video interviewing tool that helps you quickly weed out less qualified candidates and zero in on those who best meet your requirements. In turn, customers can cut costs and hire much faster.

Customer Service & Support

Jobvite has three main customer support portals.

The first is a toll free phone line available 24 hours a day, five days a week.

The support number is 855-315-HIRE (4473) for all customers Sunday 6pm PST through Friday 6pm PST, excluding Jobvite holidays. International customers may also reach a support team at +1 541-229-1265

The second portal is via email. Contacting Jobvite through email automatically creates a new support case from the convenience of your e-mail client without visiting the web and gets you the help you need to keep your recruiting moving.

Finally, the System Status page gives users a clear picture of their system performance in order to prevent unneccessary interruptions. This can be accessed anytime.

Pricing

Jobvite offers customized pricing based on a company’s needs. Please contact them directly for a quote.

Shortcomings

Jobvite struggles when it needs to parse resumes into its system. Some users have found that the more detailed a resume is, the worse it looks when Jobvite takes it into its system.

The unique email identifier that Jobvite uses can confuse candidates that are applying.

Finally, the search function is overly specific: if a user inputs a typo into a search, for example, it will not recognize the mistake and come up with related results, but only show results for the exact typo.
