Applicant Tracking System: A Complete Guide

An Applicant Tracking System is defined as software for tracking and managing candidates and for reducing the time spent on administrative tasks. ATS program searches for keywords, almost like a search engine, and offers the resumes a score based on how closely related the candidate's resume is to the job description keywords. The aim is to filter out irrelevant resumes and leave only those candidates closely in line with the job's specific requirements.

Why use an Applicant Tracking System?

ATS is used to shorten the time-to-hire and simplify the recruiting process by eliminating repetitive processes, and this decreased time contributes to lower vacancy-related costs and increased efficiency through quicker and more frequent placements.

The software prevents the need to do repetitive, time-consuming tasks that take too much time as well as adds an additional punch to traditional resume sorting filters and techniques. For example, instead of simply posting a job description and a few qualifying questions as the most frequent.
