5 Benefits of Using Applicant Tracking System

According to research, 94% of recruiting professionals say that Applicant Tracking System (ATS) has improved their hiring process.


ATS has the power to improve the three most important recruitment KPIs:


  • Time to hire 
  • Cost per hire 
  • Candidate quality


Here are some more benefits of using an ATS:


1. Job Advertising


Are you spending way too much time posting and reposting my job ads? An ATS lets you automatically post open roles to all your favorite job boards, social networks, and talent communities at the click of a button.


2. Enhance Candidate Experience


By speeding up your recruitment process, you can get those top candidates before they get snatched up by another company. Also, by sending automated emails which ensure regular and timely communication with your candidates, you can significantly improve your candidate engagement and candidate experience


Candidates who had a positive candidate experience in your recruiting process will more likely accept your job offer, reapply in the future and refer other high-quality candidates to your company.


3. Hire Faster


With Applicant Tracking System, tasks that previously required many hours of work can now be executed very quickly and easily – or sometimes even done automatically. Some of these tasks include resume parsing, disqualifications of non-qualified applicants, interview scheduling, and email automation. 


Applicant Tracking Software also saves time by building talent pools, which can be used to find perfect candidates for your future roles and job openings.


4. Lower Cost Per Hire


Applicant Tracking System saves money simply by saving your precious time. With many administrative recruiting tasks being automated, you need less human hours to fill a position, which makes your hiring strategy more productive and cost-efficient. If you know that referred candidates are your best new hires, there is no need to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on job boards.


5. Improve Employer Branding


In today’s passive job market, an attractive employer brand has never been so important. A strong brand can make a difference in convincing a passive candidate to join your company. ATS allows you to measure, analyze, and improve your employer branding strategies.


Features like fully-branded career pages, for example, allow you to impress candidates and improve your talent pipeline.
