What makes a modern ATS? Applicant tracking, rebuilt around AI.
A traditional applicant tracking system stores the applicants who find you. A modern ATS also finds candidates, scores every one against the role, and moves them along without manual updates.
What an ATS does
An applicant tracking system (ATS) keeps every candidate for every role in one place, with the stage each one is at — from applied to hired — and the history of who did what.
What makes one modern
- Sourcing built in, not just inbound applicants
- Resumes read and scored by AI on arrival
- A match score on every candidate, with the reason
- Statuses that update from bookings and calls
- Reports such as time to hire without a spreadsheet
- Pricing that does not charge per recruiter seat
Questions to ask any ATS
- Can it find candidates, or only track them?
- Can I see why a candidate scored the way they did?
- Can hiring managers join at no extra cost?
- Which reports come built in?
Questions
- Do small companies need an ATS? Once you have more than one open role or more than a handful of candidates, a shared tracker saves lost candidates and duplicate outreach.
- What does ATS stand for? Applicant tracking system — software that tracks candidates through your hiring stages.
