The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so it sits at the ordinary grade until the vendor says. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. The page offers Get My Quote. |
| Features | C | Configurable workflows, scheduling, interview guidance and eSignature. Onboarding, advanced referrals and the AI companion are add-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Workflows to configure by department and role. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, a partner integrations page exists but no named links are on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Mid-sized and enterprise employers in regulated industries
- Teams that want to start with a core ATS and add modules
- Hiring teams that need onboarding and I-9 handling in the same system
Worth knowing
- Pricing is by quote only: the pricing page says it is built around the modules a buyer picks.
- Onboarding, advanced referrals and the AI Interview Companion are presented as add-ons to the core ATS.
- A hiring manager app is mentioned, but the pages read do not say which mobile platforms it runs on.

What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Jobvite's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published, so it sits at the ordinary grade until the vendor says.
We could not confirm Jobvite’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. jobvite.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
