Jobvite vs Paylocity

What Jobvite is

Jobvite, an Employ Inc. product, is a proprietary recruiting platform for mid-sized and enterprise talent-acquisition teams. Its core is an applicant tracking system for requisitions, candidate records, workflows and offers; buyers can add recruitment marketing, Source & CRM, career sites, onboarding, candidate messaging, referrals, internal mobility, analytics and AI Interview Companion. Jobvite publishes no fixed price: the current pricing page directs buyers to a tailored quote and explicitly describes onboarding, AI and recruitment marketing as optional modules. Integration with HRIS, payroll, background-check and assessment systems therefore needs both technical validation and contract-level scope.

What Paylocity is

Paylocity provides US payroll and HR with self-service and workforce management features.

What Jobvite is built to do

Applicant tracking

Manages requisitions, applications, workflows, approvals, interviews and offer generation.

Attract and engage

Optional career sites, recruitment marketing, CRM, referrals and messaging support candidate acquisition.

Onboarding

Optional workflows assign new-hire and employer tasks, including supported compliance documents.

Analytics and integration

Dashboards, exports, SSO and ecosystem connections support reporting and HR-stack interoperability.

Choose Jobvite if

• Recruiting organizations needing configurable workflows across business units and locations
• Teams adding CRM, recruitment marketing or onboarding around an enterprise ATS
• Buyers able to run security, compliance, integration, AI and data-migration proof exercises before contract

Skip Jobvite if

• A small business needs transparent self-service ATS pricing and minimal administration
• The quote does not itemize modules, integrations, implementation, support, data limits and renewal terms
• The organization cannot govern candidate consent, retention, automated recommendations and downstream HR data

Choose Paylocity if

• US companies wanting payroll and HR from one vendor.

Jobvite: pros & cons

• Configurable ATS workflows support complex approvals, candidate stages, offers and multi-stakeholder hiring.
• Optional CRM, career-site and messaging capabilities extend from applicant tracking into sourcing and nurture.
• Analytics provides standard dashboards, drill-downs and PDF or CSV export paths.
• SSO, APIs and integration options can connect enterprise identity and HR technology when included and configured.
• No public list price or self-service checkout; modules, implementation, integrations and support must be priced in a quote.
• The product family and help center use both Jobvite and Evolve names, so buyers must map every promised feature to the contracted module and current interface.
• AI matching and interview guidance do not remove the employer's responsibility for bias testing, human review, notice and hiring-law compliance.
• Candidate data crosses ATS, CRM, career sites, onboarding and integrations; consent, retention, deletion and duplicate-merge behavior require explicit governance.

Paylocity: pros & cons

• Solid US payroll and tax handling
• Employee self-service reduces HR load
• Workforce management included
• US only
• Implementation takes time
• Support quality varies by account
