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.
Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) Software includes marketing tools for building talent pools, nurturing prospects, social marketing, and attracting passive candidates. These tools create talent pools by tracking candidates, prioritizing pipelines, and engaging candidates through marketing campaigns. They may include a variety of features and modules such as career sites, landing pages, content libraries, chatbots, and virtual event capabilities. CRMs are often coupled with applicant tracking systems for the foundation of talent acquisition suites.
