We are saving a lot of time each day using workflows and staying on the home screen. Personally, I have found that I’m saving an amazing amount of time on a daily basis. The team is getting the hang of it and have been very positive about their experiences.

That’s the way of the future. We’ve got to make the most of the data that we have, and we’ve been able to do that with JobAdder.

So the best thing for us about JobAdder is the fact that it provides a central location where we can store information, we can share information, we can communicate via it, so whoever is working on a specific role or project at a certain time can always access all of the information they need, so there’s never a black spot in our communication or our productivity based on which team member is working at a specific time.

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.

A client could ring us on a Sunday night needing people the next day. We can go into JobAdder, bulk text candidates and see responses coming back immediately. We can then say to the client, ‘done and dusted.’ It helps us to actually win business because we have a speed of response to market.

As our CEO said, ‘it’s a no-brainer.’ It was really quite obvious when we took a score-card approach that JobAdder was the way to go… For me, JobAdder is like the Apple of ATSs. Once someone uses Apple, they never go to Samsung.

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.

In comparison to our prior system, we now have the ability to build reports and to be able to report upon things that are relevant to our business again.
