As our CEO said, ‘it’s a no-brainer.’ It was really quite obvious when we took a score-card approach that JobAdder was the way to go… For me, JobAdder is like the Apple of ATSs. Once someone uses Apple, they never go to Samsung.

There are big time savings from our perspective and that’s been all the way through. It’s also about that sense of professionalism that candidates get with JobAdder, the level of communication they get, it’s so important.

With all the notes as well that I can take against the candidate’s profiles, this has been phenomenal. Nothing is as good as JobAdder. You can’t manage people properly unless you use JobAdder because it’s about the candidate experience. The templates and everything, it was just so awesome.

It’s definitely something that is easy to get into and it’s easy to manage people that haven’t had a lot of training as well. Our hiring managers love the Hiring Manager portal…they don’t need to recreate the wheel.

The reason we stay with JobAdder is the quality of the Support Team. Friendly, knowledgeable, really prompt.

There’s no way we would have been able to manage the volume of hiring requests without having a system like JobAdder in place. It’s a solution that enables us to get it done and support the business during the recent uplift in the cycle.

Integrations like HelloSign have sped things up for us and made it more engaging and easier for our candidates. We’ve been able to eliminate a clunky step in the process for our candidates, especially because a lot of our candidates work in remote regional areas where printing and scanning facilities may not be available. It also helps save a few trees eliminating the need to have paper contracts.

It’s a terrific app. Best I’ve ever used… The desktop is exceptional as well, I’ve been using more than four ATS systems in seven years and JobAdder is the best we’ve ever used.

We’re a flat structure in the HR team so to have a tool that involves the hiring manager is fantastic and makes the process more efficient.
