We couldn’t capture any data previous to having JobAdder and monthly reporting was a nightmare. JobAdder makes it so much easier and delivers useful insights that shape our ongoing recruitment activity.

Aussie Locums made the switch to JobAdder over two years ago and we have not looked back. JobAdder is easy to use, great for reporting and the apps and add ons are exceptional too. Their support team is fast to respond and very friendly.

The integration work JobAdder carried out was simply excellent. They conveyed complex processes to us in language we could understand and completed the work with minimum fuss.

The Hiring Manager tool has allowed us to further automate and reduce the amount of admin in our process. Our business is very “fast-moving”, and I believe that JobAdder aligns to that. We get the quick response time out of JobAdder, which is what we need to successfully perform in our roles.

Since we’ve moved to JobAdder, we’ve reduced our job board expenditure by 65%, saving us thousands of dollars while our agency usage has dropped by 30-40%. JobAdder’s definitely paid for itself in just a few months.

The support team is fantastic and friendly, helpful, very very quick and always ensuring that there is a solution… not letting the ticket close until they are certain the issue has been resolved. I’m very impressed with that.

The JobAdder support team are always very responsive and helpful and always follow up. I’ve connected some of our hiring managers with the JobAdder support team and they’ve been great at working through tech issues and provided a positive experience for our broader team.
