As the name implies, an ATS allows an organization to collect and store candidate and job related data and track and monitor the process of candidates through all stages of the hiring process. Applicant Tracking Systems are also used to post job openings on a corporate website or job board, screen resumes, and generate interview requests to potential candidates by email. Other features of an Applicant Tracking Systems include pre-screening questions, source tracking, and source effectiveness reports and resume process tools.
