5 Ways Employers Can Benefit From an Applicant Tracking System
5 Ways Employers Can Benefit From an Applicant Tracking System

Previously I have shared with you the benefits of going paperless, or how technology can make your HR department’s life easier. The truth is that doing things the old fashioned way has little to no advantages nowadays, which is why technology has become much more advanced in order to streamline processes. When recruiting, HR departments get swamped with resumes and cover letters, and whether these are paper or electronic, they need to be stored somewhere. Does your company have a central location or database where the HR department can keep the company’s recruitment efforts? If your answer is “no”, then I encourage you to consider getting an ATS, or Applicant Tracking System. An ATS is a software that allows you to handle all of your recruitment needs electronically. It allows recruiters to collect and store candidate data and any other job-related data in order to track and monitor the process each candidate goes through during the hiring process. Having an ATS has many benefits for any company or even small business, and I’d like to share some of those with you.

What employers are failing to realize is the interview process is best compared to your dating experience. Think of it this way, during the first date you can get a pretty good idea of how well the two of you will mesh. You learn more about your date, their interests, hobbies, family, and values, and of course, they learn the same from you.

If you chat with a marketing person, you’ll find out that nearly every single interaction can be thought of as a chance to strengthen your branding or your company image. This is no different in the recruiting space; in fact, it may be considered even more important in this scenario. You can ruin a great brand image by simply ignoring some key details during your recruiting process. Our friends at Software Advice, an HR technology firm, conducted a study to learn more about the impact our follow up efforts (or lack thereof) have on job applicants.
