What you need to know about Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)

The days when hiring managers and recruiters were checking thousands of resumes by hand to uncover the best applicants are long gone. Nowadays, Applicant Tracking Systems are frequently used to narrow down the candidate pool to those candidates who meet the requirements of the prospective employer.

An ATS is a software application designed to help recruit more efficiently. It can be used to post job openings on a corporate website or job board, screen resumes and generate interview requests to potential candidates by e-mail. Other features may include individual applicant tracking, customised input forms, pre-screening questions and response tracking, and multilingual capabilities. It is estimated that almost 50% of all mid-sized companies and almost all large corporations use some type of applicant tracking system.
