Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), also known as talent management systems, are growing in popularity among organizations of all sizes. It’s just another example of how technology and digital transformation are changing the way we work by allowing us to streamline, automate and easily collaborate and report on projects.
In this article, we’ll introduce you to this wonderful software and what it can do, before telling you about viRecruit, our ATS that takes applicant tracking to the next level.
What is an Applicant Tracking System?
An ATS is a software system that collects data and automates many of the tasks related to a company’s recruiting process, from receiving applications to hiring successful candidates.
Firstly, it’s a database, so when a candidate applies for a job on your website, their contact information, experience, education, resume and cover letter are sent to the ATS, where they’re securely stored. This information evolves as the candidate progresses through your recruiting process.
For organizations that receive high volumes of applications, the ATS is a valuable time saver, filtering out unsuitable applications, and essentially doing the first round of CV reviews. After that, it’s saves time by automatically sending notification emails to unsuccessful candidates.
The ATS is then used by hiring managers to schedule interviews and manage the rest of the process, until the successful candidate is hired.
