ATS.3 (Applicant Tracking Systems)

By admin | Published: May 19, 2008

There are seven essential, interrelated components of an Applicant Tracking System. (You might take a look at this great little piece …Animals are Tracked, People have relationships.) The actual functionality is very simple and can all be generated from a single database.

The basic components are:

  1. Candidate Database (Resume and Relationship Information) This may need to be two separate databases to meet regulatory requirements
  2. Jobs Database
  3. Publication Services (for Managing the Talent Pools)

  5. Searching and Matching Technology
  6. Embedded Wisdom (Help, Templates for Letters and Newsletters)
  7. Workspace Integration Services
