Questions
Is HiringAgent a full ATS? It covers sourcing, applicants, stages from applicant to hired, a candidate pool and reports. It does not post to job boards, integrate with HR systems or send offer letters.
Can I use both? Yes. Source and screen in HiringAgent, and export candidates to CSV for your ATS.
