Recruiting is a time-consuming process. Staffing agencies determined to find the best-fit candidates for their clients often juggle hundreds of applications, thousands of emails, job listings across multiple platforms, and interview preparation. Managing each piece of the recruiting process across dozens of website programs or physical files can be overwhelming.
In some instances, parts of the hiring process get rushed. At times, applicants fall through the cracks, lost in piles of paperwork and a frenzied schedule.
Staffing agencies understand the importance of timely, organized communication for effective talent acquisition. Simultaneously, many recruiters struggle with manually managing hundreds of applicants in various stages of the recruitment process!

As a recruitment company, an applicant tracking system is one of your most valuable tools. Is your recruitment team still manually sorting through countless candidate applications? Do important emails tend to get lost over time? Are interviews, schedules, and appointment managed across multiple applications? Have you lost and let a top-notch candidate slip through the cracks due to forgetfulness or human error?
