What should you look out for when choosing an Applicant Tracking Software?
It’s important to find an ATS that suits your business.
Built-in search is important as it enables recruiters to find candidates quickly.
Calendar and communication integration makes it easier for recruiters to organise their time, and view candidate relationships.
Reporting tools allow recruiters to monitor their staff and their own performance. Reports can help you
Ease of use is important when choosing an ATS. Recruiters and admin must be able to make sense of the software and be able to use it across different devices.
Size matters – smaller agencies may not need the same amount of features as a larger agency.
