What Do You Want In An Applicant Tracking System?

At CMS we speak with employers every day who are looking to make a change to their recruiting and applicant tracking system. With budgets in place for the new year, we see a lot of volume and a lot of questions at the beginning of the year.

These are just a few of the questions we receive and reasons recruiters and managers are reaching out to us to inquire about how iRecruit can help them improve their processes.

1. I need to move away from Email, Excel Spreadsheets and Paper
Data entry into Excel is a huge burden on recruiters and HR Departments, and keeping track of paper files can be a nightmare to manager whether you receive 100 or 1000 applicants per month. Don't miss out on qualified candidates because you are not able to keep track of them adequately. In addition it can be cumbersome to create reports on paper files and stay in compliance with OFCCP requirements.

2. My current system is just not meeting my needs
Whether it's in-house or hosted if your current system is out of date, or does not have all the functionality you require (online applications, creating requisitions, applicant communications, custom application forms, reporting etc), it may be time to reevaluate your applicant tracking software.
