Support has provided so much follow up. It’s not just a tick and flick ‘here’s your tool, see you later, you’ll never hear from us’. It’s been very involved and a very supportive learning environment. I could call five times a day and still hear a chirpy person on the other end of the phone ready to help me.

JobAdder was great, they suggested who we should reach out to based on their experience of working with different integrations. We were blown away at how quick and easy it was to just integrate and that we could integrate things ourselves.

If JobAdder were a restaurant I think that the service we got was absolutely exemplary right from the initial outset and the way that we were sat at the table and then the dish that we got served was exemplary.

JobAdder provides us with the ability to get some really great insights into market trends and analytics and that’s also a great differentiator for us.

A client could ring us on a Sunday night needing people the next day. We can go into JobAdder, bulk text candidates and see responses coming back immediately. We can then say to the client, ‘done and dusted.’ It helps us to actually win business because we have a speed of response to market.

The ability for us to get through that size of a database so quickly, I think it’s fantastic. That’s been a really big help. I think JobAdder are very good at listening to ideas – if we partner with you, then when the product comes out the other end, it’s obviously going to be better aligned to what we need. I certainly think that JobAdder is the best we’ve seen on the market. We’re definitely going to be staying with it.

I think JobAdder has paid for itself. Previously we found we’d get all these applications and they would be mixed up with our other emails and we’d miss things. Now everything is under a specific job, we know who to contact and can do a bulk email to the recruiting manager to take a look at the candidates.

I appreciate that candidates and contacts can be added with the Chrome extension. It has helped streamline the process and makes me more efficient with my time while prospecting and researching.

A number of things stood out for me…ease of deployment and set-up is one of those things as well as the month-by-month rolling contracts which is absolutely crucial. So we’re building everything from scratch and working with JobAdder has been great, because it means that I can build a best-of-breed stack.
