Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software that manages and streamlines the recruitment process, from posting job openings to screening resumes, scheduling interviews, and tracking candidates through every stage of the hiring pipeline. Most modern ATS platforms also integrate with email, calendars, and job boards, and many now include AI-powered features like resume parsing and candidate matching. For executive search specifically, an ATS helps recruiters manage complex, multi-stage pipelines and maintain organized records across long, relationship-driven searches.
