A big selling point for Jobvite Source is they are a technical partner with LinkedIn. With Jobvite Source you are able to forward job invitations or "jobvites" to users on LinkedIn. However, your invitations are limited to ONLY your first contacts and you can send the invitation to a limit of 10 first contacts per job. The sales pitch from Jobvite is your job invitations will than be forwarded from your first contact to 2nd and 3rd suggested contacts. This makes no sense to me. If you are savvy on LinkedIn and have a large network of people and groups why would you need to use (and pay for) a 3rd party application to contact users you can already contact yourself? Also, if you are informing a first contact on LinkedIn directly why not just ask that individual to forward to job information to anyone he/she knows who may be interested. You would think LinkedIn would allow a company they are partnering some advanced features. FYI: The cost is $350/user with an annual contract plus a $500-1000 one time set up fee. I think Jobvite is on the right track and hope they continue to release new features. However, right now I don't see the value. Jobvite Source is a web-based “ad-on” to a current ATS.

He’s also right that many of the systems on the market do a poor job of sourcing. Some of course, do a fine job. The bigger, beefier, and costlier ones can search internal and external candidate databases, social networks, and the web at large, creating lists of prospects and handle the contact management. Just this week a new tool from Jobvite was released that can do the same. [...] [...] In that sense, he’s quite right.
