HR Reps Most Wanted Applicant Tracking System Features

Posted by Michael Macking September 11, 2014



Applicant tracking systems (ATS) like Hyrell’s allow HR representatives and managers to tackle many of their biggest hiring and recruiting challenges. As a result, more professionals are ditching their manual methods, such as email and spreadsheets, and exploring their ATS purchase options.

According to ATS review firm Software Advice's recent survey, the percentage of those surveyed relying on manual hiring methods to track applicants decreased 6 percent from 2013. It is clear HR reps like you are increasingly searching for a hiring solution that will make their hiring and recruiting more efficient and organized. Professionals who previously purchased an ATS are also back in the market looking for a new solution that incorporates the latest and greatest features.

According to the survey, there are four particular features people in both camps want their new software to have:

  • Job board/careers page posting (40 percent)
  • Searchable database (32 percent)
  • Reporting capabilities (31 percent)
  • Candidate tracking (29 percent)

With these features, HR reps can embark on more productive web-based hiring that results in better hires.
