5 Mind Blowing Benefits of Using an AI-Powered ATS

Let’s be honest here, it’s hard to take the “human” out of human resources.

As a recruiter, you’ve still got to create job vacancies, source top talent, conduct interviews, assess candidates, communicate with candidates, and send offer (or rejection) letters. No matter how much you rely on your existing tech, there’s always going to be a number of tasks that you need to do yourself.

Keep in mind that many existing HR tools fall short in many areas, therefore leaving huge gaps in the company’s tech stack.

But here’s the catch: an ATS that is powered by AI can take over some of these hefty tasks on your behalf. Applicant tracking systems enable organizations to build more efficient hiring workflows by capitalizing on the capabilities of advanced technology, best-in-class features, and most importantly, AI.

So without further ado, let’s dive deep into the sensational benefits you can attain from using an AI-powered ATS.

Make manual, tedious processes a thing of the past

In today’s competitive market, the recruitment process needs to be agile and incredibly rapid. That’s of course if you want to appeal to modern-day candidates. Think about it this way, year after year candidates are evolving, and so are their needs. They are becoming more and more tech-savvy – which means they’re less tolerant of outdated processes.

On the bright side, an ATS that is powered by AI automates time-consuming tasks. Like screening resuming, communicating with candidates, reconciling emails, scheduling interviews, posting jobs, and creating talent pipelines!

By automating such administrative tasks, recruiters can spend more time on other important tasks.

For example, an ATS like EVA-REC does all the heavy lifting. Such as posting jobs to over 2,000 job boards!

Got a few job boards that you can do without? Worry no more, because our intelligent ATS is most likely integrated with it. But instead of jumping between tabs trying to post job ads individually, our applicant tracking systems allows you to save time and post all your jobs from one single tab.

Not only that, but our ATS also automates follow-up emails with candidates. Let’s say you move a candidate from one stage to another in the hiring process. Instantaneously, candidates will receive an auto-generated email that briefs them on the next step. Perhaps it’s a video assessment they need to complete or just an email that includes the interview time, date, and location! Whichever it is, the recruiting software can save you a large amount of time and help keep candidates in the loop – all through one easy-to-use dashboard.

Skip the interview scheduling hassles

Have you ever managed to schedule an interview with a candidate by making only one call, or sending only one email? Well, according to research, the chances of that occurring are pretty meager.

Just think about the amount of time it usually takes to coordinate a suitable time to interview a candidate. First, you’ve got to arrange it with your team (or manager), then you’ve got to check if the candidates are available at that time as well.

Not only will you play an email-tag game, but you’ll also waste valuable time on this mediocre task that should be automated in the first place.

So how does an AI-powered ATS come to the rescue?

First of all, it allows candidates to self-schedule their own interviews. The reason why this helps is that from one centralized place, you can book and approve interview time slots fast and reduce time-to-hire. You can even minimize the possibility of mistakes through automated check-ins and synchronized calendars.

What does this mean for you? You can easily shave off endless hours that you would otherwise spend on engaging and securing top talent in your pipeline. And ultimately, you get to create a wonderful candidate experience, from day one.

Sift through a mass number of resumes faster than ever

Excel is a common go-to tool for many recruiters. But times are changing, and recruiters need to ride the new technological wave. The point is that you don’t want to get swept away with manual work and fall victim to sunken time.

While spreadsheets do come in handy for managing and sifting through resumes, they do erode team collaboration, slow down the work pace, and pose data-security risks. Let’s assume you post a vacancy that yields 200 applications. Will you have the motivation to manually sift through each resume, give each candidate a call, solicit feedback from the team, or screen them individually?

Exactly.

This is where an AI-powered ATS comes into play. Here at Elevatus, we pride ourselves on our award-winning applicant tracking system that streamlines the process of sifting through an endless sea of resumes.

For example, with an ATS like EVA-REC, recruiters can instantly drag and drag a mass number of resumes into the system, and it will automatically parse the resumes and create a profile for each candidate. Then, recruiters can view, evaluate, and manage all candidates from one single dashboard. Not only saving them a ginormous amount of it but also centralizing their resume database in a more efficient manner!

But that’s just a small slice of the pie. The ATS also enables you to match candidates to any open vacancy or job description that you have – with the click of a button. Therefore, making your first round of screening 80% faster!

Easily track and monitor recruitment success

Measuring your recruitment success is not easy. Especially when your company is still clinging to outdating recruiting methods and tools. Can you extract auto-generated reports in a split second from the stacks of papers sitting on your desk? We think not.

But what you can do, is leverage an AI-powered ATS and get your hands on automated, data-driven, and accurate advanced analytics and reports. By taking your historical data into consideration, an advanced ATS will help you improve your hiring with recruiting metrics that you need. With real-time analytics, you can impeccably track, share, and improve your hiring and workflows. So an AI applicant tracking system generates automated built-in reports that give you a birds-ey view of your recruitment metrics. Such as time-to-hire, cost-to-hire, candidate sources, time-to-fill and so much more!

Not only giving you a breakdown of your hiring process, but also helping you keep tabs on your recruiters’ productivity metrics with just a few clicks.

Need even more customized, advanced reporting?

Say no more.

With an AI-powered ATS like EVA-REC, you can customize your own dashboard!
Perhaps there are some analytics that matter the most to you.  And that’s completely normal. Whether it’s the status of your published jobs, team activity log, candidates’ origin, candidates’ statuses, or pipeline speed – simply add each report to your own dashboard. Next time you log in to the ATS, you’ll get an at-a-glance view of all the real-time analytics that matter the most to you.

Exceptionally enhance candidate sourcing

Working from home. Old-school software from 2008. Siloed teams. How can recruiters be sourcing candidates efficiently that way? Well, the short answer is: they probably can’t.

What they can do is…yes! You guessed that right. Leverage an AI-powered ATS!

So how can an applicant tracking system make your candidate sourcing nightmares, a thing of the past?

It’s easy. An intuitive applicant tracking system like EVA-REC gives recruiters a more efficient way of sourcing and attracting top talent.

Not only that, but they can also get useful job board recommendations that are strictly based on the job requirements. Perhaps it’s based on the region, channel type, job category, industry, and job title. Then, the ATS will automatically provide you with a list of channels that meet your sourcing needs!

So, with quick access to a diversified set of job boards, it’s even easier for recruiters to identify top talent across multiple providers and take their candidate sourcing to the very next level.
