The ability for us to get through that size of a database so quickly, I think it’s fantastic. That’s been a really big help. I think JobAdder are very good at listening to ideas – if we partner with you, then when the product comes out the other end, it’s obviously going to be better aligned to what we need. I certainly think that JobAdder is the best we’ve seen on the market. We’re definitely going to be staying with it.
The system is intuitive so when it comes to training new users, it has always been a very easy process. New users to JobAdder have always been able to easily navigate the system.
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.
Being able to easily measure things like time to hire, cost of hiring and volume of activity has enabled us to make better decisions.
I think without the training you’d be able to fumble your way through the system because it’s pretty straightforward. But I’d be concerned about the follow-on effects, of not knowing what will happen if you do something [in the system] so it’s definitely been beneficial.
I get rave reviews about the product from the team and when they’re going out of their way to say ‘hey we finally found it’… It says everything. They’re happier and producing more and it just creates a win-win culture and a fabulous team. It’s easy to navigate your way through the JobAdder system… there is an intuitiveness to it that would lead you along the way even if you didn’t know what you were doing. There’s also a constant desire to improve the system… to create more features and benefits for those that want to participate in it.
That’s one thing about JobAdder. I know it saves a lot of time and is very user-friendly; everything is in the right place.
JobAdder is ideal as [the team] can see what’s going on in real-time. They can share information through the platform. We can ask candidates to record video content and submit it that way.
