This article explains how to leverage an Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to optimize the recruitment process. An ATS automates certain recruitment tasks associated with hiring, such as tracking applicants, sorting and storing resumes, and searching for potential candidates. By using an ATS, recruitment teams save time and money, reduce human error, improve the candidate experience, and build consistent processes. To benefit from an ATS, recruitment teams should: analyze workflows to better understand recruitment needs; select systems that specifically address their needs; establish appropriate metrics; create mailing lists and career pages; and invest in training for users. Implementing an ATS is a smart way to streamline the recruitment process and ensure successful hires.
