The beneficial influence of ATS on hiring

What is an applicant tracking system? 

The applicant tracking system ( ATS ) refers to the HR software which simplifies talent acquisition and management processes. It’s similar to the customer relationship management systems but it’s used in recruitment. 

In the plain talk, on the candidate side, we can define ATS as the specific arranged and organized database, which gathers all the information about candidates, their resumes, submission date, their current stage in the selection process, feedback from interviews and so on. On the other, the client-side, ATS is used for posting the vacancy on the ATS board which is usually linked with other job advertising platforms. Some applicant tracking systems can be connected to your official Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter page so you can directly post job ads there. You can make a record about active and filled positions as well as clients, and if we’re talking about the corporation, ATS is a lifesaver when it comes to tracking over fifty open positions across all departments and who knows how many received applications. 

What is the purpose of the HR software, and what types exist? 

One of the most useful features of the ATS is an automatic rejection letter in case you decide not to proceed with a particular candidate. This feature will prevent you from forgetting this step of the process. However, even though this feature is timesaving and very useful, it’s preferred to make a personal touch and make sure your candidate gets clear and sincere feedback, in this case. It raises your candidate experience and makes you more appreciated among candidates, which is in direct correlation with the reputation of your business. Likewise, most of these applicant tracking systems are suitable for mobile devices, which makes them more attractive in nowadays occupied life, when everything has a dynamic pace and you need to make sure to timely get information anywhere you are. 

Free ATS

Overall this is a very useful system that enables automation of the majority of hiring processes, saves your time, makes you more productive and your business more efficient.

So, if you’ve ever asked yourself do you need this kind of software, the answer is definitely yes. It doesn’t matter which type or size is your organization, there are more than 300 Recruitment software available on the market. The great thing is some of them are charge-free, like Zoho Recruit and Trello. Small and mid-sized companies usually use already existing solutions, while large corporations choose customized software which is often more complex and tailor-made for a certain organization, but there are also deviations from these rules. For example, Breezy is an ATS that gives you the opportunity to create more custom features, Renhead is a company that develops custom solutions as well, while Workable, Zoho and SmartRecruiters are the most common tools.
