A number of things stood out for me…ease of deployment and set-up is one of those things as well as the month-by-month rolling contracts which is absolutely crucial. So we’re building everything from scratch and working with JobAdder has been great, because it means that I can build a best-of-breed stack.

I think the integrations are really problem solving at scale. You can do so much more with less effort and less people. It’s really allowed us to raise the transparency for all parties in the hiring process.

I’ve always found JobAdder really responsive, myself and the team use the ticket system and there’s always really good follow-up. We’ve never been left hanging, which is what you want in customer service.

I think the level of help at JobAdder is next-to-none compared to other software or other businesses that I’ve come across. When you launch a ticket and you put a level of urgency on it, if it is super urgent you will be called within a few minutes, if not a few seconds … it’s really world-class.

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.

We now have a really solid core ATS. It’s enabling our recruiters to spend more time with candidates and also lets us now focus on the applicant’s experience and, following into that, the employee experience. One major achievement would be our time to hire. That’s been smashed down to around 22-odd days so we’ve halved what the KPI was.

The key for me is the partnering element between JobAdder Support and their clients; they are always there to solve a problem or listen to improvement suggestions. You would definitely not get this reactive response from the other providers.

There’s no way we would have been able to manage the volume of hiring requests without having a system like JobAdder in place. It’s a solution that enables us to get it done and support the business during the recent uplift in the cycle.
