5 Tips to Know About Applicant Tracking Systems

Looking for an applicant tracking solution that can simplify your HR experience? With the right ATS, you can analyze, track, and strategize your talent acquisition processes better. Expect more than a system that helps attract and hire qualified candidates. You want a solution that can give you a competitive edge by helping you with the following:

  1. Connect Recruiters to Qualified Job Seekers
  2. Grow Your Pool of Candidates
  3. Seamlessly Integrate with Job Boards
  4. Customize Your HR Experience
  5. Create an Inviting Candidate Experience

 

1. Connect Recruiters to Qualified Job Seekers

Your company is typically hiring for multiple positions at the same time. Applicant tracking systems serve as a data bank for all your hiring processes, helping make searching easier by automated the process and avoiding human error – saving you time, resources and money. And more sophisticated solutions offer functionality beyond talent acquisition to provide for professional development and employee retention. The Application Manager (TAM) is a cloud-based, collaborative solution that lets users track job postings and actively engage quality candidates. TAM provides tool sets that allow recruiters to review, select and share applicant information within the hiring teams that are posting open positions with your organization. 

The right tools help attract the right candidates:

  • Job posting library
  • Custom workflows
  • Requisition approval
  • External recruiter portal
  • Custom user access levels
  • Custom online application for employment
  • Social networking integration
  • Reporting tools

2. Grow Your Pool of Candidates

Hiring the right people helps create an attractive working environment. And the best candidates are often the ones that aren’t looking for a job. An optimized ATS solution will allow candidates to apply directly and be automatically added to your database. Look for a solution that grows with you and doesn’t limit the number of candidates you can add. And your career site should be fast loading and optimized for mobile so candidates can apply from their smartphones. 

3. Seamlessly Integrate with Job Boards

The best ATS solutions offer customizable functionality like job board and career site distribution, candidate outreach, and applicant communications. You’ll find the ease of one-click posting to a host of free and paid job boards saves you hours of administrative time.

For example, TAM ATS software enables you to:

  • Create Automated or single click pushes to over 100 Free Job Boards including Indeed, GlassDoor, Jobs.com, ZipRecruiter and Google
  • Post to 1000’s of Premium and Niche Boards including Dice, Career Builder, Zip Recruiter, HCareers and Stack Overflow
  • Post for OFCCP requirements through America’s Job Exchange and/or National Labor Exchange (NLX)

4. Customize Your HR Experience

Look for an ATS solution that can drive you HR goals. An ATS like TAM is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There is no need for time intensive training or long implementation periods. You’ll find that TAM can easily integrate with the recruiting practices you already have in place. Access and easy-to-use system with an easy-to-edit dash that can adapt and scale to your most important processes:

  • Collect and manage candidate data
  • Match candidate information with career profiles
  • Create notes to records
  • Track all email interactions
  • Update records in real-time

5. Create an Inviting Candidate Experience

TAM’s user-friendly interface makes it easy for candidates to find and apply for the right careers – offering a convenient, timesaving autofill option when they apply for positions. And systems like TAM offer important follow up with candidates. The biggest complaint job seekers mention is HR departments that neglect to respond to application submission status, or worse yet, interview follow up. With TAM, it’s built into the workflow and easily customized for each specific scenario.
