Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for Recruiting and Staffing Firms
What Is an Applicant Tracking System for Recruiting Agencies and Staffing Firms?
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software that helps recruiting agencies and staffing firms manage candidates throughout the hiring process—from sourcing to placement.
TE Recruit goes further by combining ATS and CRM functionality in one system, allowing teams to manage candidates, clients, job orders, and recruiting activity together.
Unlike corporate HR systems, TE Recruit is built specifically for recruiting agencies and staffing firms that operate on placements, pipelines, and client relationships.
