What role does an Applicant Tracking System play in the recruitment process?
This article from OnRec.com explains the role that an Applicant
Tracking System (ATS)plays in the recruitment process.
Applicant tracking systems have been a godsend to many a
company, but not everyone understands their role - even
those 
fully signed up to a
system may not be realising its full potential. We asked some
experts in the field to describe the role of ATS from their
perspective.
Tim Richards, Managing Director, Bond UK explains:
"Applicant tracking quite simply saves time and streamlines
the recruitment process from initial application through
to decision. The impact on internal resources of sifting through
hardcopy CVs and email applications can be enormous.
Without adequate filtering through intelligent and focused
screening questions, recruitment departments can quickly
become deluged with applications, only a select
few of which will be worth spending the time on."
Duncan Macintyre, Director of GTI Recruiting Solutions says his
ATS clients see these systems as essential in moving the
recruitment process forward and importantly for measuring
that process in real time.
He says: "They want instantaneous stats and reporting at
a click, the tracking of star candidates or the success or
not of specific recruitment agencies.
ATSs allow recruiting professionals to be just that
professional, efficient, supporting the employer brand, improving
the candidate experience and above all be consistent."
