ATS for startups

Do startups need an Applicant Tracking System?

Honestly, not all startups need an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) immediately. To decide, consider these four pointers 1) Your hiring projection for the next few quarters 2) The number of people collaborating over hiring decisions 3) The need to grow a talent database 4) Presence of fiercely growing teams.

If you are growing fast and need to hire faster, and if your recruiting team involves more than one recruiter, then your startup is ready for an applicant tracking system.

How can an ATS help a startup?

An ATS can help recruit more efficiently while also freeing up time and resources to refocus on the most important, at-the-moment business needs. You can screen faster, engage with your candidates and hire better. Collaborating over hiring decisions become more effective and easy. Interviews, whether it’s scheduling them, communicating with people involved or collecting and processing feedback, it can all be coordinated from a single central hub.
