Hear why your peers love JobAdder
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.
Time to hire is significantly less than what it was before. Which ultimately is cost-saving across the business.
I would say we’re 2-3 times quicker getting to market now then we have been previously, our ad posting is saving us a huge amount of time. We’re getting back 200 minutes a month. JobAdder provides efficiency around back-end administration, with good responsive support and is very progressive in regards to enhancements. I have no problems recommending JobAdder because overall, it’s a system that’s really hard to beat.
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 has been valuable to have our metrics readily available to dive into and report on. It’s drastically reduced our time to collate reports and provide more in-depth analysis than we’ve previously been able to do.
That’s the way of the future. We’ve got to make the most of the data that we have, and we’ve been able to do that with JobAdder.
Support has been just fantastic in terms of responding so quickly, the online chat is great.
The mobile app is very useful and easy to use and we’ve been part of the feedback forum for the app which we’ve appreciated.
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.
