Hear why your peers love JobAdder
The platform is so user intuitive, the most user-intuitive ATS that I’ve seen. Getting people up to speed on JobAdder is so straightforward. We’ve got people here who are up and running within 3-4 days. For me, the three things about JobAdder that not only keep us loyal but have us advocating JobAdder to our industry colleagues are: the simplicity of the system, the innovative mindset and the transparency with which you run your business.
The support we’ve received in terms of onboarding and follow-ups has been absolutely amazing, cannot praise enough the support staff! They are always there to help and create solutions that work for us, and I’m continuously impressed with the customer service levels provided (which can be rare in this industry!).
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.
JobAdder tries to improve the recruitment experience for both agencies and candidates. There’s a strong focus on trying to do things efficiently. Our relationship is very much about helping us and partnering with us to get the best outcomes.
This is one of the most perfect platforms for those that are in recruitment, who really want to be able to give dedicated experiences to their clients.
At the end of the day, JobAdder just seemed much cleaner and easier to use and had much more functionality so it was a pretty easy decision. We’re not having to go to JobAdder and request changes. We can get in there and do it ourselves. Having a system [like JobAdder] certainly helps us to [grow] without having to add additional resources into the team.
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.
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.
I would say it has allowed us to streamline our recruitment process and posting an ad is so much easier. You just have to do it once and don’t have to go into four different programs, which is fantastic.
