Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) allow enterprises to streamline the process of managing applications for job openings by consolidating the hiring workflows. Organizations leverage ATS to post & manage new job openings and perform multiple operations around the resumes received from candidates. HR Professionals and Recruiters use ATS to manage and simplify the process of hiring new talents by connecting the database of applicants’ resumes to the job opening created on the Talent Management Portal. ATS provides the ability to perform multiple operations such as storing, scoring, screening, and sorting the candidate resumes based on the job details. Some ATS also provide the capabilities of Candidate Relationship Management through which the HR personnel can reach out and communicate with the candidate. These ATS can be sold as stand-alone products or can be integrated with the onboarding software and Talent Management Software to make it an overall Talent Acquisition Suite.
Video interviewing software helps organizations to evaluate the candidates through video calls and messages. This evaluation can be done either through pre-recorded (one-way) or live (real-time) web interviews. Most video interviewing software facilitates the integration with ATS (applicant tracking systems) and recruitment management systems. In pre-recorded online interviews, candidates have the flexibility to record their responses to the questions already prerecorded by recruiters at their convenience. However, in live video interviews, the recruiters meet with candidates online face-to-face by setting up a meeting time. Unlike generic video calling tools, video interviewing software is equipped with multiple recruitment-specific features and can be used in conjunction with many ATS, HR, and recruiting software. Some advanced software has built-in AI that can analyze candidates' facial expressions, nonverbal behavior, voice intonation, etc. to help decide on a candidate's fitment for the organization.
