An applicant tracking system (ATS), also called a
candidate management system, is a software application designed to help
an enterprise recruit employees more efficiently. An ATS can be used to
post job openings on a corporate Web site or job board, screen resumes,
and generate interview requests to potential candidates by e-mail. Other
features may include individual applicant tracking, requisition tracking,
automated resume ranking, customized input forms, pre-screening questions
and response tracking, and multilingual capabilities. It is estimated
that roughly 50 percent of all mid-sized companies and almost all large
corporations use some type of applicant tracking system.
