Hear why your peers love JobAdder
Being able to easily measure things like time to hire, cost of hiring and volume of activity has enabled us to make better decisions.
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.
You can really see how far ahead in the process managers are – it gives me a bird’s eye view of the recruitment process and where we are falling down. I also really love that you can set up email templates, where I can bulk email [and] insert fields so it looks more personalised. It just allows me to do things quicker than if I was doing a manual process. It’s quite intuitive.
It was the fact that JobAdder is a full package, from both a cost and usability point of view, that was most appealing… JobAdder is also quite straightforward to use; days are busy so you don’t want to be using anything that involves a lot of steps.
We look at what jobs we have open, how long they take to fill and how much we’re saving. JobAdder Analytics saves us a ridiculous amount of time and is a brilliant system.
Of all the companies we deal with we find your support team to be by far the best. Not only do they resolve every issue quickly and efficiently but they are knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with all at the same time.
“[The integrations are] brilliant. It has enabled us to actually implement different strategies and activities that we want to do.”
You don’t stay with a software partner for 10+ years if you don’t think that their product is any good.
I think that the reason that we were really impressed was that it was just a very simple look and feel and was aesthetically pleasing. We could tell right away that it was powerful, but just the aesthetic was clean and again simple. You guys weren’t overthinking everything. We’ve really been pleased. It’s been, overall, just a really great product for us, a great system and we are glad that’s the way we went many moons ago.
