Excellent for inbound management and sourcing. Room for growth in events and analytics!
What do you like best?
Inbound application management through Jumpstart is a dream. The ability to manage application review through a variety of filters rather than simply chronologically is a game-changer in Campus Recruiting.
Sourcing capabilities are also quite strong, compared to any other tools on the market in the campus space (Handshake, Piazza) Jumpstart is the clear winner. The number of filters available and ATS integration are impactful features.
There are still a few kinks here and there but overall the UI/UX is quite strong.
What do you dislike?
Event management could be improved, particularly when hosting a virtual event outside of Jumpstart. I don't have experience using Jumpstart's capabilities at career fairs or in-person events but am excited to utilize these features when we start traveling again.
The metrics and analytics dashboards are a good start but they have some room to grow, to provide more actionable data in realtime rather than historical or retrospective data. This is something I know the Jumpstart team is prioritizing!
Eventually, I'd also like to see Jumpstart expand its student audience. The initial focus on tech hiring was a smart strategy but Jumpstart would have usefulness across industries and the adoption among non-technical candidates isn't quite where I'd like it to be.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ultimately, there's no other tool that is built first and foremost for high volume campus recruiting. The Jumpstart team certainly knows their audience and get feedback from them frequently as they add new features and functionality!
