Recruit Wizard Recruitment Software FAQs
Is it hard to migrate from JobAdder?
We have the process down to a science. To ensure total data integrity, we perform a high-speed 24-hour transition.
Example: Stop using your old system on Tuesday night; we receive and process your backup Wednesday; you are live on Recruit Wizard Thursday morning. One day of downtime for a lifetime of better productivity.
Do I lose "Adder Intelligence" features?
No, you upgrade them. You gain a more proactive version. While JobAdder excels at summarisation, Recruit Wizard’s native Generative AI and Talent Indexing focus on execution. We don't just tell you what is on the resume; we score the candidate against your specific logic and help you draft the outreach to close them.
Is Recruit Wizard an ATS or a CRM?
Both. We are a powerful Recruitment CRM that happens to have world-class ATS features built in, ensuring your sales and recruitment teams are aligned.
