Hear why your peers love JobAdder
It’s definitely something that is easy to get into and it’s easy to manage people that haven’t had a lot of training as well. Our hiring managers love the Hiring Manager portal…they don’t need to recreate the wheel.
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.
When you’ve got one source of truth, everything gets done through there. So from a time perspective, purely on admin alone, let alone usability, every single person has saved several hours a week by implementing JobAdder. It was a huge increase.
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.
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.
We needed a track record of stability and security. We needed to be able to deliver a credible solution that would provide assurance to the client. Hand on heart, we needed to be able to advise the client that our solution, our tools, could handle [high] volumes in a secure manner.
The mobile app is fantastic. It’s so user friendly and the way that people can swipe left or right on certain aspects of the platform makes it fun to interact with as well.
I originally started using JobAdder when it was a posting service. I’ve seen the evolution over the years, it’s user friendly, easy, simple, made for recruitment.
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.
