Although free and open source Application Tracking Systems (ATS) are widely available and can be easily accessed by a small, medium and big enterprises alike, custom designed ATS’s are typically preferable. There is a bit of a similarity to CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems, but the main difference is that ATS’s are specifically designed for making the recruitment tracking process simpler. Most typically, ATS’s filters job applications automatically on the basis of criteria set by the particular organization. These filters can include skills, job experience, former employers, degrees, test scores and many more.
In short, ATS software is responsible for saving businesses lots of time and money by automating several processes previously undertaken by HR representatives.
ATS software includes many helpful features, but the most important ones are listed below.
1) Automate posts to multiple job boards: Job postings can be automatically uploaded to multiple job boards once their websites are connected to the ATS platform via an API. There is no need to go on different job boards separately, saving lots of time.
2) Filter applicant databases with high-quality candidates: Automatic filtering of candidates helps separate the wheat from the chaff quickly so you can get down to the business of assessing and interviewing more relevant candidates.
3) Consolidated data of candidates: View all applicants in one place and filter them by custom or predefined fields so you can have a holistic view of your potential hiring pool.
4) Automated email notifications: Any candidate that’s been approved or declined within the ATS platform can receive a templated email.
