Onboarding/Offboarding

Functionality: ATS helps recruiters and HR professionals manage job postings, track applications, and screen candidates more efficiently. It often includes features like resume parsing, keyword-based filtering, interview scheduling, and workflow automation.

Benefits: The system can save time, reduce manual paperwork, enhance communication with candidates, and improve overall hiring efficiency. By automating routine tasks, recruiters can focus more on candidate quality and strategic hiring decisions.

How it Works: Applicants typically submit resumes through an online portal, and the ATS uses various algorithms to scan and categorize these documents. It can then rank candidates based on keyword matches, experience, skills, and other predefined criteria.

Use Cases: ATS is widely used across industries, from small businesses to large corporations, to manage the influx of job applications and facilitate a smoother hiring process.

Challenges: Some ATS implementations may inadvertently exclude qualified candidates due to overly strict keyword filters or other technical issues. This has led to criticism regarding their impact on diversity and inclusion in hiring practices.
