An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software designed for recruiters and employers to efficiently manage candidates throughout the recruiting and hiring process.

An ATS streamlines the recruitment process by organising and automating the handling of job applications and resumes. It acts as a digital gatekeeper for an employer, efficiently sorting through volumes of candidate submissions to identify those most likely to fit the job criteria. This system helps recruiters by saving time and resources, allowing them to focus on the most promising candidates.

This Summary: What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)? provides context for the use of an ATS, given its ability to increase effectiveness and efficiency in recruitment, however the choice to use it and apply it to the workplace is an individual decision.
