Applicant Tracking System
What Is an Applicant Tracking System for Recruiting Agencies?
An applicant tracking system, or ATS, is recruiting software used to organize candidates, manage job pipelines, track communication, and move people through the placement process.
For recruiting agencies and staffing firms, an ATS needs to do more than track applicants. Recruiters manage multiple clients, job orders, candidate relationships, sales activity, sourcing, and placements at the same time.
TE Recruit combines ATS and recruiting CRM functionality in one platform so agencies can manage both sides of the recruiting business without switching between disconnected systems.
