It is only the best applicant tracking software system (ATS) for your business that can give you the best return on your investment. With its principal purpose being to increase efficiency as well as productivity, the ATS system needs to be reliable, modern as well as user-friendly. Thus, nailing the right system does take time. However, the best ones would have some key features without fail.
Sophisticated Unified Communication
Communication is the key to smooth running of any organization. It is done via different mediums which should be well integrated into a good ATS which includes -
Email integration - This is crucial to maintaining healthy relationships both with the candidates as well as clients. Thus the ATS should have sophisticated communication capabilities that are integrated with common email providers like Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, etc. It should not only allow you to track emails but also enable you to schedule calendar meetings and follow-ups.
2-way text messaging - You would also find this feature in the best ATS for quick and efficient communication. Via it, when you send an SMS message, the replies get tracked in the system and you are notified about its arrival. It causes a paradigm shift in efficiency by eliminating the time spent on calling up candidates individually. The system allows you to send batch texts and match replies to the outgoing message to keep them accessible and organized.
Telephone integration - For those times when you need to call the candidate directly or need to speak to the client directly, the ATS comes integrated with VOIP technology which helps you call candidates using the internet rather than the standard phone line. It also leads to improved sound quality as well as simplicity. Few ATS enhance this feature with 'click-to-dial' capabilities which helps make the calls faster and more efficient. The calls also get recorded for later use.
Social Media and Website Integration- With just about everything moving online, the ATS needs to have social media and mobile friendly, "responsive" website integration to have better candidate access and visibility.
Social media - With social recruitment on the rise, the ATS should integrate sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter to make your post available to a worldwide audience while also facilitate monitoring applicants' personal social profiles for deeper insights. It helps in better and more correct hiring. It also helps in improving the company's SEO standing which is critical today.
Website integration - This increases the productivity due to online application facility by both new and old candidates. The tool enables candidates to do data entry and help you concentrate on placement. It should flaunt an impressive responsive ATS website integration to help you maintain the unique talent community for your company.
Talent communities - These constitute an innovative way to pool job seekers and wean out the top talent for any company. These are created by harnessing all modern communication methods. An ATS system helps you reap benefits of its talent community by allowing you to use your company's branded career page as the hub of applicants. It notifies applicants of new job postings in sync with their interests. This tool helps you enhance your hiring quality, increase your talent pipeline and improve the overall company culture.
Job Board Integration- Job Boards like Indeed are critical places for attracting increased percentage of qualified candidates. It eliminates the need of manual job posting by you and data entry by the candidates. It helps save time tremendously and helps you post to multiple channels from within one system. For candidates, it lends an improved application experience.
An Integrated CRM- An ATS with an integrated CRM gives you a strong competitive advantage and enhance client relationships. The ATS/CRM integration helps manage customers having dual client/candidate role and provides easy navigation for you through highly organized data. With the integrated CRM, you can also easily create campaigns and even monitor its activities and results and even schedule follow-ups.
