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.
Onboarding Software enables employers in streamlining and automating the processes of smooth transition into the workplace of new hires. The key capability of the software focuses on facilitating the workflow of the onboarding process from pre-hire to the first six months, typically. To do so, it includes a combination of features such as form processing to ensure compliance with government regulations; data completion/verification to ensure the accuracy and completeness of employees’ provided information; and social/cultural assimilation to help new hires in understanding the organization's social and cultural dynamics via leadership videos, team introductions, learning courses, assigning mentors and more. Some vendors may also provide the capability of offboarding and cross-boarding of existing employees from or within the organization. These platforms are primarily utilized by human resources (HR) departments within organizations. Additionally, managers and team leaders may also utilize onboarding software to facilitate the orientation and training process for new team members under their supervision.
