How easy it is to scale when your company grows?

If you are looking for an Applicant Tracking System it probably means that your company is in the midst of expanding. When looking for an ATS, you need to consider how easy it will be to scale up. More employees results in more HR work, so your team is likely to grow and will need access to the system. You need to ask yourself;

Will your ATS supplier be able to easily support you during this growth and implement the changes in a timely manner and what are the cost implications?

How is it priced, is it clear what is included and what is extra?

Some systems that appear cheaper than chips usually have hidden costs in the background. Check that the company is open about what features are and are not included in the package you like. If the system appears to be too good to be true, ensure you have a detailed and open discussion with the sales representative. The last thing you need is to purchase a system that doubles in price once you add the features you require.

What job boards does it integrate with? Does it integrate with your website?

You probably use job boards to advertise your vacancies and your ATS will need to integrate with them. Does your shortlist of systems have useful functions like multi posting to the job board/s you use or support auto tweeting of vacancies for maximum traction? 

Will it integrate with your website and what will it look like? If the ATS framework cannot be customised to match your company image, is this really the right system for your brand?

Is it easy to use?

Simplicity is the key. Consumers can be swayed with flashing lights and sexy dashboards, but is the system functional? Remember, looks are not everything, especially in software. The system needs to be simple to use and deliver results. Remember you’re purchasing a company required solution, not a picture for your lounge.

How easy is to communicate with candidates via the system to notify them of their application progress?

You are searching for an ATS that makes your life easier, so ensure that your software will benefit your candidate journey and professionalise your image. A good ATS will ensure that you can effectively communicate with every applicant regardless of their success. The process of shortlisting and informing candidates of their progress should been seamless and effortless for you, but portray a professional and high-end company to your applicants.
