Times change and recruiters can\u2019t just rely on a spreadsheet of contacts, quick thinking, <\/span>or a ‘roll-up list’ in LinkedIn<\/span> to get ahead in an industry which never slows down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) offers recruiters a custom built technology that can support them in their work to deliver great candidates to great employers. To show how that pairing is made easy by an ATS we want to show you 5 key benefits of the software.<\/span><\/p>\n

Repeatability<\/h2>\n

What do you do with the other candidates that you didn\u2019t put forward for your latest role?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve cultivated 10 of the brightest marketers for a recent commercial role and you\u2019ve placed 1 of them straight into the job (nice work by the way!) But now you\u2019re left with 9 additional shining stars\u2026 So what do you do with them?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, with an ATS you can easily transpose your broader inventory of existing candidates into new roles. Simply put, an ATS helps you put the right people in the right places \u2013 so you have them all, ready to go, as soon as a new opportunity lands (or you go out and create it!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Richer Data<\/h2>\n

We all love to drop in on LinkedIn<\/a> and check out candidate history. But all too often, the details given barely scratch the surface. What about everything they don\u2019t write about\u00a0\u2013 things like their ambitions, their home life, their lifelong, unflinching love of the Chicago Cubs \u2013?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With an Applicant Tracking System you can save all that rich, personal data on your candidates in one place \u2013 to give you a true, more three-dimensional profile to take forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specialist Database<\/h2>\n

Feel like pursuing a niche? As you build up multiple candidates for a new position you\u2019ll realize you\u2019ve actually farmed up a good herd of industry specific talent. You can make and save great contacts within that industry and then propel your dedicated flock toward them in a move that\u2019s guaranteed to land in the right spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Success Support<\/h2>\n

Customer service and success support are absolutely critical when implementing any kind of software. After all, if you can\u2019t use it, what\u2019s the point in having it?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An ATS is only going to deliver the benefits you need if it\u2019s configured to your requirements. We only come to understand that by listening to what you really need. We\u2019ve been in business for over 20 years and have adapted our levels of service over time; while understanding that every recruiter is different.<\/span><\/p>\n

Automation & Efficiency<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve grouped these two together because automation feeds into and supports efficiency. A lot of recruiters are still using databases and pulling out information themselves. A properly configured ATS can scan your emails, set reminders, notify contractors \u2013 and much more besides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of that, call recording and dialing history features help to automatically fill out the CRM component of your system. No-one likes having to backfill an activity log, and with an ATS you don\u2019t need to.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom line is that recruiters want to save time by increasing speed. They have to compete to get the best employers and candidates on their books and Applicant Tracking Systems support that goal to a tee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At PCR we support everyone \u2013 from one user offices up to massive multinationals\u00a0\u2013 in exactly\u00a0 the same way; with expert support at every step.<\/span><\/p>\n
