How long does it take to get JobAdder set up for my business?

How fast you can get your account set up depends on the complexity of your needs – in particular any existing data such as candidate records you are looking to migrate over. That said, as a guide, typically standard onboarding requiring no/minimal data migration takes around 2-4 weeks, and more complex data migration requirements take up to 10 weeks. Either way, our experts will work closely with you to get you up and running with confidence.
