JazzHR

Pros

Jazz is aggregate recruiter, you post to it and it posts your job on multiple boards. It allows you to see all job candidates in one place, at one price.

Cons

There isn't a way to highlight your posts on certain boards it picks where your posts will be highlighted.

Pros

Easy to implement and offers customization for application screening and assessments. Bulk action allows recruitment to save a ton of time by using the filter to shortlist, disqualify and send feedback to candidates.

Cons

Reporting - it's very difficult to pull actionable data from the platform based on how it's collected. If you want to include interviews in your reporting data, all interviews must be scheduled through the platform which we've had issues with, same with offers - to be tracked they need to be sent to the candidate through Jazz. When you clone and repost jobs to keep them at the top of job boards it counts as a separate job and that messes up reporting data.

Pros

The system is very inexpensive and much better than having not ATS.
-It posts to several free job boards with only one click.
-Store, track, and update all applications in one place.
-You can communicate with applicants through the system.
-You can leave comments and keep record of multiple applications for an applicant.
-You can send emails in bulk.

Cons

Compared to other ATS in the same price rang and has a ton more (useless) features and is missing some key basic features.
-The reports features are very complicated and not very practical
-The screening and interview features are not realistic in our environment
-Missing basic features like automatic replies when changing status
-Admin does not have control over who has access to what. You can set users up by predefined positions such as "super user" but you can't tailor what a "super user" is.
-The sales, customer service etc. have obviously never been involved in hiring
-They ask for feedback but only interested in the feedback they want to hear on useless features that do not aid in hiring.
-Calendar feature does not sync with all versions of outlook making it completely useless
-The design features and look are horrible
-To post on paid sites you must save credit card information that all Admins have access too.

Pros

I like that the program really focuses on what it does best - workflow integration. If you take the time to really set this product up right, you can automate 75% of the administrative tasks that can be very time consuming.

Cons

It’s greatest strength is at times it’s greatest weakness. The workflow management is excellent when it’s set up properly, but requires a lot of maintenance to keep it updated and current.

Platform that is simple to learn and use. Facilitates streamlined request and candidate tracking within your team. Works flawlessly with any other recruiting tools you may be using, whether they're internal or external. Setting up a workflow and aids to assist with the workflow might help reduce stress on your recruiting staff. Better candidate management, texting capabilities, and automations

Cons

I'd like to make a standardized scoring sheet for use by all interviewees. I wish there was a way to search job boards for people who were similar to the applicants I liked best during interviews. Please make it possible to quickly revise an email before sending it to a potential employee.
