APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEMS(ATS)

Hiring Software That Changed The Game Surrounding Employment!

WHAT IT IS…

• A software application that enables the electronic handling of a company's recruitment needs

• Software that allows an organization to collect and store candidate and job related data through all stages of the hiring process

• Software that can be used to post job openings on a corporate website or job board, screen resumes, and generate interview requests

WHAT IT IS NOT…

• A tool to replace actual recruiters – thus eliminating personal contacts

• Systems that are only used by large companies with vast hiring needs

• Found as difficult to use by HR and Recruiting Managers

• Require significant IT support and extensive computer maintenance

• Just an electronic database of resumes and applications
