To truly optimise the recruitment process, businesses must consider a variety of solutions that address front-end challenges such as attracting and converting top talent. When it comes to hiring at scale, it can be difficult to know where to start. In this article, we'll look at whether changing your ATS is the best solution, or if inploi's platform can help you overcome front-end challenges and maximise your hiring results without changing your tech

The Benefits of ATS

An ATS automates many parts of the recruitment process, such as resume screening and candidate communication, saving time and reducing the workload on HR staff. Providing personalised communication and timely updates to candidates throughout the recruitment process. This helps employers identify top candidates more quickly and accurately, resulting in higher-quality hires.

Finally, it can help ensure that hiring practices comply with laws and regulations related to equal employment opportunity, privacy, and data security. But while 94% of employers say their ATS has positively impacted their hiring process, these solutions still have numerous limitations. And though most individuals in the talent acquisition industry would argue that a successful company need an ATS, it often requires the support of additional technologies.

The Pitfalls of ATS

Because it can automate many administrative tasks involved in recruitment, such as resume screening and candidate communication, an ATS can be a powerful tool for managing the candidate experience. However, it is critical to understand that an ATS is primarily a solution for streamlining these tasks and does not address the primary challenges that companies face today, which are attracting and converting candidates.

Companies must first attract a pool of qualified candidates who are interested in the role in order to find the best possible candidates for an open position. An ATS system does not always provide solutions for attracting candidates or providing a positive candidate experience. This is why it's critical to pair an ATS with a talent attraction and conversion solution. According to the 'Hiring reimagined' report, 71% of candidates are thinking about dropping out of hiring processes. The main reasons are; overly long processes (39%), complicated processes (37%) and too many touch points (27%). This suggests that, while an ATS can assist in managing the candidate experience, there is still room for improvement to make sure applications are completed.

While ATS systems are designed to manage large numbers of applications, they are not always designed to ensure that a job seeker actually applies. This can lead to a disparity between the number of people who view a job posting and the number of people who apply. It is critical to integrate an ATS with a comprehensive solution to bridge this gap and increase the likelihood of a candidate applying. inploi modules are intended to supplement rather than replace an ATS. By integrating directly with an ATS, applications can be tracked and managed more efficiently, resulting in an enhanced recruitment process.
