Frequently Asked Questions.
What is an Applicant Tracking System?
An Applicant Tracking System (or ATS for short) is a software application used by companies to manage their recruitment and hiring process. The primary function of an ATS is to streamline the process of finding, interviewing, and hiring new employees by automating many aspects of the recruitment workflow.
The main functions of an ATS include posting and distributing job adverts, collecting applications, parsing CVs into a CRM, screening and filtering candidates, scheduling interviews and reporting on the effectiveness of recruitment campaigns.
Should I use an Applicant Tracking System?
This totally depends on the size of your business, your recruitment team and the goals of the business. If you receive a high volume of applications, an ATS might help you to manage the volume coming through.
If you receive a moderate amount of applications but you’re a small recruitment team, an ATS might help you to streamline or speed up the process.
There are a number of Applicant Tracking Systems available to cover different levels of budget and need so it’s worth shopping around before committing to one.
