What is ATS?
ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System, which is software that allows businesses to electronically manage employee recruitment and hiring.
An ATS can be used by businesses of all sizes to streamline the employee hiring process and improve the quality of the job applicants. It allows your business to quickly find and hire the best employees while minimizing time spent managing this process.
Applicant tracking system software allows business owners to easily do everything they need – from searching for candidates to completing hiring paperwork online – without getting lost in stacks of resumes, tracking emails, and filing applications.
