The goal of every recruiting initiative is to engage highly-qualified candidates, strengthen the enterprise brand, and attain greater management satisfaction with the recruiting process. Regardless of its level of experience, any organization's core Applicant Tracking System (ATS) strategy must do the following:
- Build better relationships between candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers.
- Increase the quality of hire.
- Choose a vendor with a long-term strategic focus and strong alignment with the enterprise in terms of size, industry experience, scalability, etc.
ATS software simultaneously reduces costs while improving the efficiency of recruiting programs. But talent acquisition is as much an art as it is a science. For best results, combine a strong ATS strategy with the experience and ingenuity of corporate recruiters.
