Here's how an ATS typically works:
An ATS begins by collecting applications. This can be done via a number of channels, including company websites, social networks, job boards and direct applications. Applications received are automatically integrated into the platform.
- Analyzing and sorting applications
Once applications have been collected in the ATS, the system automatically analyzes them. It extracts key information such as skills, professional experience, training and contact details. At the same time, it classifies candidates according to pre-defined criteria.
- Recruitment process management
ATS makes it easy to manage the recruitment process. It enables recruiters to create customized workflows, assign tasks and track the progress of candidates at every stage of the process. This ensures that nothing is missed and deadlines are met.
ATS also manages communication with applicants, enabling follow-up e-mails, interview invitations, application rejections, etc. to be sent automatically. This automation helps maintain a high level of professionalism and efficiency.
ATS centralizes all candidate information. This makes it easy to search and retrieve information on applicants, even years after they have applied.
A quality ATS also offers reporting and analysis functionalities. It enables HR teams to track key performance indicators, measure the efficiency of the recruitment process and identify areas for improvement.
