Today’s workplace is always changing as employee expectations are higher and turnover rises. Advanced technologies can assist in companies’ recruitment processes to keep turnover low and candidate engagement high. One such tool is an integrated ATS. We will cover more details concerning the system and how it can help your company succeed.
What Is An Integrated ATS?
An ATS with integrated tools means that there are multiple functions in a centralized system to guide the recruitment process. Automated workflows that expedite manual tasks include resume parsing, candidate screening, and interview scheduling. The system also enhances collaboration internally (between HR and recruitment) and externally (between candidates and the recruitment team).
An integrated ATS connects to other HR tools and systems to maintain compliance, including HRIS and payroll. Learn more about how talent acquisition software and an HRIS work together when transitioning information from recruitment software to the employee database.
The most important integrated tool in an ATS job board integration. It allows the ATS to store an already-written job description, which you can post to integrated social media accounts. Cadient’s applicant tracking software is affiliated with ZipRecruiter, Indeed, Monster, and other popular job boards with its integration features to enhance candidate outreach efforts.
Streamline the Recruitment Process for Success
Streamlining recruitment through ATS optimization is vital for the continued success of the company. Automating hiring tasks in one system rather than multiple disparate ones will make the recruitment process more efficient in means of workflow and data collection and storage.
Your recruitment team can focus on improving the candidate experience by collecting survey feedback and other important manners. Meanwhile, you can save data storage on your company computers by having one centralized recruitment software instead of multiple tools taking up your work computers’ storage space.
Optimize Your ATS for Maximum Efficiency
Automated recruitment tools should continually be optimized for the utmost efficiency. Cadient’s ATS allows companies to develop customizable workflows to fit the needs of their business. Because not every business should have a one-size-fits-all recruitment software, Cadient’s solution allows for this customization to refine the recruitment process, input keywords for resume parsing, update email and text communication templates, and automate interview scheduling.
Job descriptions should also be optimized to attract the best candidates to apply. Having a clear and catchy job title, ensuring inclusivity, and using bullet points to outline the position’s responsibilities are just some of the many ways to optimize job descriptions.
Connect your company to the integrated social media and job boards on the ATS. Besides job boards like ZipRecruiter and Monster, you can also post on social media like LinkedIn and other career-based sites.
Harness the Power of Automated Recruitment Tools
An integrated ATS should have all the most modern recruitment tools to automate various tasks. Resume parsing with extensive keyword filters can allow AI to screen resumes for you to find the best candidates without subjective bias from manual analysis getting in the way.
Candidate Matching
Candidate matching utilizes complex algorithms to analyze the job description and submitted applications and resumes to find the best candidate that can fulfill the open requisition’s requirements. The system accordingly scores and ranks the candidates based on how well their career file fits the needs of the open requisition.
Automated Communication Features
With communication templates for communicating with clients via email or text, you can automate application updates without taking the extra time to handwrite a reply. However, it’s best not to over-rely on these automated communications and switch it up sometimes by sending personalized handwritten messages to candidates, especially for an interview invitation or for an interview follow-up correspondence.
Leverage Advanced Applicant Tracking Software
The most advanced applicant tracking software goes beyond the basic functionalities of old-style systems. With more enhanced integrated tools, you are doing more than just tracking applications and resumes.
Your recruitment team can review real-time analytics containing your company’s hiring metrics such as cost-per-hire and time-to-fill. It’s always advisable to regularly review these metrics to refine your improvement strategy based on company needs and recruitment trends in your industry.
Scale Your Recruitment Efforts With Flexibility and Adaptability
Again, applicant tracking systems allow for customizable workflows. Keep this in mind as your company grows. As your business grows, then your hiring strategy should change, too.
Cadient’s ATS has the flexibility and adaptability your company needs to enhance customizable workflows at any time. Maybe you want to switch your disparate HRIS with an integrated system in the new ATS. You can install this integrated HRIS into the ATS quickly once it’s been added to your service package.
Data control and security are possible because of an ATS’s role-based access features. Recruitment, HR, and other stakeholders utilizing the ATS can have different access permissions based on your discretion.
Reporting features are also scalable because you can customize reporting time frames for any analytics. You can review how one or more specific analytics have changed over time with customizable reports.
Improve Collaboration and Communication Within Your Hiring Team
Internal communications are important for recruitment success. All stakeholders should agree on which candidates to onboard because disagreements and miscommunications can hinder the hiring process.
HR and recruitment can review the same candidate notes with an integrated ATS. They can also add new notes to the same file based on observations from interviews and resume parsing.
The teams can communicate with one another with communication channels on the ATS. Hence, handling communication on this one integrated platform is more effective and efficient than utilizing a clunky email platform.
Conclusion
An integrated ATS boasts many benefits for a company’s recruitment process. It can automate hiring tasks such as resume parsing, interview scheduling, and candidate communications. Its available and customizable workflows can institute success throughout the recruitment stages based on your strategic vision.
