Best for a modular applicant tracker
Jobvite is an applicant tracker where you start with a core and add modules such as onboarding, referrals and an interview companion. Pricing is by quote only, and the page does not say what any module costs.
Who Jobvite is for
- Fits if you want to buy a core ATS and add only what you need
- Works for mid-size employers with complex workflows
Who Jobvite is not for
- Skip it if you want a list price, as pricing is by quote
- Pricey if you want onboarding or referrals, as those are add-ons
- Watch out: the hiring manager app is mentioned but its platforms are not listed
- Watch out: no free plan or trial
Why Jobvite gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so it sits at the ordinary grade until the vendor says.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial. The page offers Get My Quote.
- CFeaturesConfigurable workflows, scheduling, interview guidance and eSignature. Onboarding, advanced referrals and the AI companion are add-ons.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Workflows to configure by department and role.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, a partner integrations page exists but no named links are on record.

Keep Jobvite, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Jobvite you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 48 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Jobvite’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
