Not all applicant tracking systems (ATS) are the same. We talked about how some only provide the core functionalities, while others offer much more advanced features that simplify the recruitment process exponentially.

While it’s good to have the latest and the most modern recruitment software, it’s still advisable to choose the one that could address your hiring needs.

According to LinkedIn, these are the top five priorities of recruiters over the next 5 years:

  1. Staying agile in the rapidly-changing recruitment landscape (65%)
  2. Catching up with the latest recruiting technology (52%)
  3. Showing fruitful business impact (43%)
  4. Leveraging data analytics carefully (43%)
  5. Being consultants to business leaders (41%)

These, of course, are not mandatory for all but are still valuable to know and identify. These assist you in keeping up with recruitment trends and being able to effectively get the best candidates in the market.

With that in mind, choosing the most suitable ATS systems for your company should be fairly easy. However, having the perfect one? Now that’s the challenge. Here are some indications that you’re making the right decision with your current applicant tracking software.

5 Signs that You Have the Perfect ATS

It simplifies your recruitment process

Ultimately, your ATS should be able to cut laborious tasks and significantly save you time than you normally would spend in manual or traditional recruiting operations. 

For instance, an ATS software can help source multiple candidates with just a few clicks and funnel all incoming applications into one centralized platform. It should also enable you to simply drop resumes and get candidates’ information automatically. This removes the need to go to various job boards one by one to check out applicants individually.

Additionally, your recruiting software should have an open API. Take Manatal, for example. This product makes it easy for you to integrate it into your current HR solutions like SAP, Oracle, Kronos, ADP, and more. This streamlines everything which is both convenient and efficient in a lot of ways.

It helps improve KPI

You would know that you’re successful when you get to improve your KPIs. As a business, these indicators are crucial to track since they are benchmarks of what you want to achieve. Without them, your team will be quick to feel lost and unmotivated.

These KPIs can be recruiting metrics such as quality of hire, source of hire, and many more. An ATS can easily help you progress in those areas. For example, you can increase your quality of hire through several functionalities-- Manatal is no exception.

It automatically recommends candidates based on job fit and skill match. You can also filter them by handpicking the best choices through its candidate scoring. Its smart automation will show you the top talents satisfactory for the role by displaying the percentage of how suitable they are.

You can also enhance this search to be more accurate using the recruitment software’s social media enrichment. It takes keywords from an individual’s social media accounts and registers them to the system to let recruiters get to know them better on a professional level.

Another thing, you should be able to improve KPIs by looking at reports and analytics. Don’t overlook this powerful feature! Knowledge is power and knowing exactly what works and what doesn’t can greatly fall to your advantage.

Analyze these easily exported reports and adjust hiring strategy accordingly.

It promotes team collaboration and communication

No man is an island, and this also applies to the world of recruitment. In case of a team member’s absence, their project doesn’t have to be put on hold.

With a great ATS like Manatal, all relevant information should be readily available for collaborators to access. From candidate profiles to resumes to notes, everything is already there. The substitute recruiter just has to check past activities and pick up where things were left off.

Furthermore, hiring managers can be invited into the portal so they can screen candidates with you. Every step of the way, they are in the loop and know exactly what is happening.

As far as communication goes, Manatal makes it extremely convenient by integrating email supports such as Google and Office365. Whether it’s for a meeting, interview, reminder, and the likes, this ATS lets you send and receive emails directly. Cool, right?

It should be cost-effective

An ATS doesn’t have to be expensive. While most prices tend to be on the higher end of the spectrum, several choices are cheap yet don’t compromise in quality.

Manatal is one of the best examples out there. For only $15/month, you can fully maximize its ATS and recruitment CRM functionalities for the price of one. 

Don’t be skeptical about its affordability! It still rivals the best competitors in the market and provides the same-- if not more-- offerings.

It should have data compliance tools

Lastly, this is one of the fundamentals that you should watch out for as an HR professional. Protect yourselves and your candidates from any data issues and have a smooth transaction every time. Manatal allows you to do this well.

It has data compliance tools that help you adhere to policies across the globe which include GDPR in Europe, CCPA in the US, or PDPA in other countries. This is critical as nobody wants to face any legal skirmishes.

When your ATS yields those results, regardless of what recruiting tools and features it has, those are signs that you have the perfect ATS. Manatal is definitely the perfect choice for this since it ticks off all the boxes above. With its overall, compelling capabilities, your hiring process would be greatly accelerated.
