JobAdder makes it easy to engage our candidates and keep them up to date with where they are in the process. It has simplified and made it very easy to stay connected with our candidates. The TA team loves how much easier it is to engage not only our candidates but also other key stakeholders such as hiring managers.

JobAdder allows us to tie into international job boards very easily, which means that we can get their brand out into regions they don’t usually have access to.

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.

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 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.

Support is absolutely impeccable. I’ve had responses sometimes on weekends where I wouldn’t expect a response because it’s not a priority, but someone’s picked up my ticket and delivered the answer.

It’s highly user-friendly. Anyone can pick it up, and if you don’t, there’s a video for something that you’re not sure of. It’s pretty intuitive.

JobAdder provides us with the ability to get some really great insights into market trends and analytics and that’s also a great differentiator for us.

JobAdder is the most nimble and adaptable system we have used and having moved on to it from Bullhorn, our productivity has increased immensely. Data is easy to load, searching is much more agile and we are finding candidates we did not know we had.
