JobAdder improves user experience, reduces costs, and slashes support ticket volume

JobAdder, an innovative B2B, cloud-based SaaS platform designed to help make recruiting more efficient and joyful, needed a way to maintain a high level of customer service as its customer base grew. By implementing WalkMe’s in-app training and support tools, and accessing WalkMe Insights, JobAdder substantially improved the overall user experience, reporting:

• 24% year-over-year drop in support tickets
• Decrease in onboarding time
• Decreased costs and improved user experience

JobAdder is an international B2B, cloud-based SaaS platform that takes pride in its customer-centric approach. Trusted by thousands of businesses worldwide, JobAdder empowers both agency and in-house recruiters to spend more of their time delivering real human value to candidates and hiring managers and less time on repetitive admin.

As the company grew, it faced a challenge: how to maintain high-touch services with a large customer base? JobAdder needed an efficient and scalable way to facilitate customer self-service, particularly in relation to its online onboarding and training program.

WalkMe provided an all-in-one solution, integrating seamlessly with the JobAdder platform and providing contextual, real-time training exactly when and where it was needed. WalkMe also provided an intuitive and effective way to communicate new releases, allowing users to optimize their use of JobAdder software. With TeachMe, JobAdder created a customer education and certification program with seven certification pathways strategically designed to provide both immediate value and a clear path for continued success.

Overall, WalkMe improved the user experience, resulting in fewer support tickets, reduced onboarding time, and satisfied customers.

JobAdder first approached WalkMe because the platform’s comprehensive design, customizability, and ease-of-­use were all appealing.

JobAdder has taken full advantage of what WalkMe’s products have to offer, leveraging WalkMe to onboard new users and accounts and promote new features. They have implemented 650+ Smart Walk­-Thrus and integrated resources, such as video tutorials and articles, into the WalkMe Menu to facilitate user self­-service.

In addition to Smart Walk-­Thrus, WalkMe is also used to bring the user’s attention to useful product features and capabilities that increase user success and engagement. For example, Smart Walk-Thrus such as “Save this Search” can be auto-­played to highlight the feature and lead to increased user efficiency.

JobAdder has also used TeachMe to build a comprehensive customer education and certification program with seven unique certification pathways to help customers continually up-level their skills and get the most out of the platform. Within the first 12 months of launching the program, customers had completed over 31,000 self-paced courses, and JobAdder had issued over 7,000 certifications to users around the world.

Shiba explains, “Our self-onboarding program, implemented with TeachMe, ensures that our customers are able to learn at their pace and revisit content at any time, without leaving the JobAdder platform. Learning is purposeful and relevant in the moment. We retain more information when we actively discover a solution as opposed to passive acquisition, so the benefits of this approach multiply over the lifetime of the partnership.”

Since implementing WalkMe, JobAdder has seen benefits across the board. Their self-paced client training program offers guidance to users from start to finish, lessening the need for frequent support requests. This is evidenced by a 24% year-over-year reduction in the average number of support tickets logged per user, enabling JobAdder to put more resources into areas of the business that drive increased revenue.

JobAdder has also seen improvements related to user experience. Since implementing WalkMe, it has seen a 53% increase in tickets solved with the first reply.

“The WalkMe help widget enables us to deflect nearly one ticket for every ticket that is logged to our Support Team, promoting high efficiency for both our clients and our own organization. This approach helps to reduce our users’ cognitive load and enables them to focus on the ‘what’ and ‘why’ by ensuring they can be guided through the ‘how’ at any point,” Shiba says.

JobAdder is now also better able to measure and respond to users with WalkMe Insights and Surveys. This has given JobAdder additional insights into the behavior of its users and enables their support team to reach out to users proactively.

“Not only has the product been as good as advertised, the support offered by the customer success team has been phenomenal. WalkMe’s customer success team has been second to none in offering their friendly services,” says Ryan Shiba, Head of Learning, JobAdder.
