What does ATS stand for?

These systems are great for the storage of critical candidate information and data, but some of the best systems also have excellent communication systems that help employers stay in touch with job candidates. ATSs save companies and their hiring departments countless hours of work by streamlining and organizing many recruitment and hiring functions.

There are many benefits for a company that uses an ATS, such as;

• Storage of critical candidate information and data

• Time savings for hiring and recruiting departments

• Savings on costs associated with non-ATS hiring and recruiting practices

• Improvements in obtaining qualified candidates for interviews

• Improved interview scheduling functions

• Communication technology to keep contact with candidates simple

• Automated emails to candidates concerning scheduling and other important hiring and recruiting issues

• User-friendly dashboards that are easy to navigate

• Configurable workflows

• Key Performance Metrics (KPIs)

• Industry benchmarks

While all types of businesses can benefit from using applicant tracking systems, they are especially beneficial to companies that are in a somewhat constant state of hiring new employees, and also those organizations that receive massive amounts of job applications for a single job opening. Processes can be streamlined and made simpler for all involved.
