Key features of our applicant tracking software
Automated vacancy creation
A vacancy requisition can be raised by a hiring manager following a process defined by HR, and automatically aligned with the T&Cs that have been set for the post. Once the vacancy has been authorised, it becomes available in the ATS for your recruitment team to add further details before it’s published.
Smart interview setup
Automate interview scheduling and efficiently secure timeslots with your ideal candidates. Smart scheduling allows simple candidate timeslot selection, and you will have full applicant tracking capabilities throughout the interview stage.
Pre-defined qualifying criteria
Qualifying questions can be defined against each vacancy to ensure a fit between the skills and competencies required for the role and shortlisted applicants, removing the requirement for time-consuming manual shortlisting.
Streamlined applicant communication tools
Effortlessly streamline applicant communication through the use of email templates. Manage emails automatically or by command with the option of mail merge templates and bulk email processes.
Branded applicant site
Your applicant website can be designed to match your organisation’s branding, look and feel, ensuring your recruitment page is more than just a job search function. Your ATS can reflect your value proposition with your own videos, blogs and information pages.
Time-saving integrations
Cast your net wider by pushing role advertisements automatically to external job boards and your social channels.
Configurable workflows
Different approval routes and workflows can be configured based on your hiring processes. You can customise your ATS to make it work for you.
Collaborative interview scoring
Make post-interview feedback fully collaborative using interview score cards. Document and store feedback and ensure the team is aligned, with full visibility for HR and hiring managers. Automated prompts keep the process moving.
Dedicated agency portal
Agencies can submit candidates’ applications using a dedicated portal. This enters them straight into the ATS for internal review and processing – avoid spreadsheets, unnecessary admin and email chains.
