5 Big Ways an ATS Improves Recruiting Workflows

Advancements in technology are not only doing wonders in our daily lives, but also in the world of recruitment. The world is full of new agile recruiting tools that all seem to promise one thing: to improve your recruiting workflows. At the forefront of these tools, we have an automated ATS that is revolutionizing the recruitment industry as we know it. Traditionally, we’d see recruiting workflows burdened with admin work at every single stage. But today, recruiters can alternatively leverage an ATS to reduce that friction by automating, scaling, and streamlining their recruiting workflows like never before. You might be wondering how, right? Well, we’ve got the answers you’re looking for!

Here are some great ways an ATS can help you improve your recruiting workflows monumentally.

Create unlimited and customizable workflows

Every company has a different hiring process. The reason behind that is that every company has different hiring goals and workflows. But an awesome ATS helps companies of all sizes and shapes build customizable workflows that can seamlessly meet their needs. So if you’re hiring for more than one position, the ATS essentially helps you create different hiring pipelines and stages tailored to each vacancy. Where you can invite your teammates, allocate tasks, and assign automated actions for each stage. Let’s assume you’re hiring a Marketing Officer. You might create 5 different stages for the hiring process: Applied, Shortlisted, Video Assessment, First Interview, Second Interview, and Hired. With the ATS you can create automated actions and triggers. So let’s say you move the candidate from the First Interview stage to the Second Interview stage. Automatically, the candidate will receive an email updating them on the process and the next steps. Plus, you can even add, customize and create your own email templates in the ATS itself, to expedite the process of communicating with candidates. This helps recruiting teams sail faster through the hiring process but setting up automated recruiting workflows that save more than 90% of their time – and puts their recruiting on autopilot.

Automate every time-consuming task

Now that we know how an ATS customizes hiring pipelines, let’s discover how it can help you automate manual processes. First, a scalable ATS can be integrated with all the tools that you love and use on a daily basis. It’s literally like the heart of your tech stack. An ATS like EVA-REC is integrated with over 2,000+ job boards, channels, and niche sites to make your job posting process a breeze. Where you can easily post all your vacancies on the right job boards – with only a few clicks. So instead of logging in and out of each platform just to post a job, EVA-REC enables you to have one single gateway to post hundreds of jobs to thousands of jobs – all under one single tab. Therefore, allowing you to save more than 30 minutes on job postings! Plus, an ATS is also integrated with world-class technology providers like Slack and DocuSign. With Slack, recruiting teams can collaborate together, post their vacancies and connect with prospective candidates. Not only that but by integrating Slack with your ATS you can effortlessly store and manage all your documents in one centralized place. This means that you can easily access all the important documents you need whenever and wherever you need them. With DocuSign, recruiters can seamlessly send documents and offer electronically to spend more time on people, not paperwork. Allowing them to easily get electronic offers signed, edited, and approved without even leaving the ATS. As a result, by integrating with all your favorite HR tools, you can make your recruiting workflows more engaging, streamlined, and efficient.

Collaborate with teams in one centralized place

Recruiting is not a one-man job. The same way they say “It takes a village to raise a child”, it takes an entire team to build an exceptional hiring process. An ATS brings together teams from various departments such as HR, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success and upper management. It empowers these teams to work together to accelerate and ramp up recruiting workflows. This enables them to move faster and free up their time for more strategic work. When teams collaborate together in the ATS, they get to beef up DE&I efforts and recruiting efficiency. Where they can share their thoughts, opinions, and feedback on candidates from one single platform – to collectively mitigate bias in the hiring process. An advanced ATS like EVA-REC makes it effortless for teams to solicit feedback and keep up to date with real-time activities performed on the system. So as soon as a candidate is moved from one stage to the other, teammates will be immediately notified and kept in the loop. Since responsibilities differ from one teammate to the other, managers can even assign specific permissions and roles for each. Giving them either full or specific access levels in the ATS. This puts more clarity in the center of your recruiting process and helps HR workflows to run more efficiently. What’s more, an ATS also allows you to streamline the approval process, assign the right approvers, and get the process moving faster than ever before.

Rely less on instinct and more on hard data

When your manager asks you for hard data on the recruiting process, do you ever cringe inside because you know you’ll have to crunch the numbers yourself? Where you’ll have to whip up a few recruiting formulas online and do the math on your own? Well, an intuitive ATS puts an end to that. A data-driven ATS like EVA-REC offers advanced analytics and insights that give you a birds-eye view of your recruitment. It generates automated reports that keep you up-to-date on all your recruiting workflows. Where at a single glance you can get to see which parts of your workflows are lagging behind and need a little boost. So instead of operating on instincts and gut feeling, the ATS helps you stay in the loop and get fruitful insights on candidate sources, job openings, recruitment metrics, and your team member’s activities. Plus, with visually appealing reports, you can get a good breakdown of your time-to-hire, time-to-fill, cost-of-hire, time-to-disqualify, and more. This way, with your very own personalized analytics dashboard, you can get to dive deeper into recruitment insights.
