Hear why your peers love JobAdder
I think JobAdder has paid for itself. Previously we found we’d get all these applications and they would be mixed up with our other emails and we’d miss things. Now everything is under a specific job, we know who to contact and can do a bulk email to the recruiting manager to take a look at the candidates.
We couldn’t capture any data previous to having JobAdder and monthly reporting was a nightmare. JobAdder makes it so much easier and delivers useful insights that shape our ongoing recruitment activity.
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.
Our remote recruiters are not necessarily reliant on our company connections, but they can be completely independent of that and use JobAdder anywhere, anytime.
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.
Time to hire is significantly less than what it was before. Which ultimately is cost-saving across the business.
The platform is so user intuitive, the most user-intuitive ATS that I’ve seen. Getting people up to speed on JobAdder is so straightforward. We’ve got people here who are up and running within 3-4 days. For me, the three things about JobAdder that not only keep us loyal but have us advocating JobAdder to our industry colleagues are: the simplicity of the system, the innovative mindset and the transparency with which you run your business.
We wouldn’t have been able to do what we did without it. Partnering with the right technology organisation that can be agile and help you is so important.
It was about having an accessible solution that was not limited by geography. We needed candidates to be able to apply from anywhere and we needed to be able to deal with large volumes of applications.
