10 Signs Your Company Needs an ATS
Are you wasting time managing your recruitment? Are you sending multiple emails, maintaining Excel spreadsheets, and constantly following up? It might be time to consider an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) software. Here are the 10 signs that show your company needs an ATS to recruit better.
1. You Still Manage Applications by Email or Excel
Receiving resumes in an inbox or manually organizing them in an Excel spreadsheet quickly becomes time-consuming and error-prone. With an ATS, everything is centralized, organized, and filterable in just a few clicks.
2. You Lose Candidates Due to Lack of Follow-up
A candidate who isn't contacted or doesn't receive a prompt response may accept another offer. An ATS automatically sends acknowledgment receipts, follow-ups, and personalized rejections to improve your employer brand.
3. Your Managers Aren't Involved in Recruitment
If your managers don't know the status of applications or can't easily provide feedback, your process lacks collaboration. An ATS enables application sharing, rating, and comments directly within the platform.
4. You Spend Too Much Time Posting Job Offers
Copy-pasting your job postings on every job board is a waste of time. With multi-posting, an ATS publishes your job offer on LinkedIn, Indeed, HelloWork, etc., with a single click.
5. You Lack Visibility on Your Recruitment Performance
Without a dashboard, it's difficult to know how long a recruitment takes or which sources work best. The integrated statistics of an ATS allow you to measure your time-to-hire, number of applications per source, or average response times.
6. You Can't Easily Find Your Past Candidates
Finding an interesting profile you've already met becomes a headache without a search tool. The ATS maintains a history of applications and helps you build a talent pool that's accessible at any time.
7. You're Concerned About GDPR Compliance
Manual management of personal data (resumes, letters, interviews) exposes you to non-compliance risks. An ATS automatically manages retention periods, consents, and automatic deletion of data.
8. You Recruit for Multiple Entities or Brands
If you manage multiple sites, subsidiaries, or brands, a multi-entity ATS allows you to separate workspaces, access rights, and databases while maintaining an overview.
9. You Lack Consistency in Your Communications
Do messages sent to candidates vary from one recruiter to another? With an ATS, you standardize your message templates and ensure a professional and consistent candidate experience.
10. You Don't Have Time to Improve Your Process
If your HR team is overwhelmed with repetitive tasks, you no longer have time for analysis and continuous improvement. The ATS automates repetitive actions and frees up time for high-value tasks.
In Summary
| Symptom | Solution with an ATS | |-----------|----------------------| | Scattered applications | Automatic centralization | | Manual follow-up | Automated notifications and reminders | | Little collaboration | Multi-user access and comments | | No reporting | Real-time dashboards | | GDPR risk | Compliance and automatic deletion |
