Businesses recognize that their most valuable resource is the people. With the demand for skilled talent continuously growing, it’s a competitive necessity to have the best processes in place to attract, hire, and train the best workers. You also need to have the right system in place to keep track of your recruiting processes and your people. A good applicant tracking system (ATS) will automate, evolve and streamline your recruitment and hiring processes, increasing efficiency and contributing to organization-wide productivity.

What is an Applicant Tracking System? In the most general terms, an applicant tracking system is a software application that is designed to help a company recruit, filter, sort, access, track and hire applicants with more efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Applicant Tracking Systems are becoming a fundamental part of organizational recruitment and selection strategy. Employers receive an average of 1,000 applications for every advertised job. Job boards make applying for positions easy and quick, and companies are often flooded with applicants who don’t even have the minimum qualifications required. The Wall Street Journal reports that 50% of job hunters don’t possess the basic requirements for the jobs to which they apply. With this volume, it’s impossible for employers to peruse each application individually. An ATS can help you to pre-screen your applicants and select those candidates whose resumes are a good match for your search criteria.

Expert research shows that automated online recruiting systems can reduce a company’s overall cost-per-hire by as much as 80%. Centralizing the recruiting operation into a single system reduces data entry, eliminates processing fees and controls costs.
