You don’t stay with a software partner for 10+ years if you don’t think that their product is any good.

I think the integrations are really problem solving at scale. You can do so much more with less effort and less people. It’s really allowed us to raise the transparency for all parties in the hiring process.

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.

JobAdder was amazing with its career update function. We’ve started using that and it’s becoming really effective. It’s allowing us to have what I’d call an automated database, as opposed to having staff ring up candidates all day long. We can send out emails to 2,000 candidates today, asking them to update their details.

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!).

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 are really happy with the product itself, but in particular the ongoing improvements that keep happening with it.

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.

So the best thing for us about JobAdder is the fact that it provides a central location where we can store information, we can share information, we can communicate via it, so whoever is working on a specific role or project at a certain time can always access all of the information they need, so there’s never a black spot in our communication or our productivity based on which team member is working at a specific time.
