7 Ways an Applicant Tracking System Can Save You Time

7 Ways an Applicant Tracking System Can Save You Time

Is it time to start enjoying the Applicant Tracking System benefits that your business is missing? When you need to locate and hire the best possible talent, the ASAP Payroll ATS is the best tool to help you get the job done. Our system can help you automate key tasks, organize applicant data, and streamline communication. All of this can save time and effort when it comes to finding the best possible hire for every position.

Here’s a closer look at how the ASAP Payroll ATS can save you time.

1. Reduce Administrative Tasks

An Applicant Tracking System can be used to automate certain triggers or administrative tasks as you move an applicant through your hiring funnel. Instead of sending a candidate an email or text message every time they advance to the next step of your hiring process, the ATS does it automatically when certain triggers happen. Those things might not take a huge amount of time to do on their own, but when you have many applicants, every action takes some time and it adds up. 

2. Automate Reference Collection

An ATS can be set up to automate reference collection. Instead of having to chase down an applicant’s references, the system does it for you. Recruitment automation can be applied to tasks like emailing a candidate for their references as the hiring process wraps up, emailing references for their referrals, sending reminders to references if they don’t respond in a timely manner, and alerting job candidates when their references are received.

3. Create Group Actions

Your company might receive hundreds of applicants anytime a job opening becomes available. The need for time-saving recruitment tools is never more obvious than at times like this. Setting group actions with the ASAP Payroll ATS can remove hundreds or even thousands of repetitive administrative tasks from your plate. If you need to alert several hundred applicants to their next steps or need to reject a large batch of unsuitable applicants, do it all at once by setting a group action.

Group actions can be applied to a number of different tasks:

  • Text messages
  • Invitations to interview
  • Adding tags to certain applicants
  • Exporting candidate data
  • Candidate rejections
  • Downloading applications and resumes

Setting up group actions in an Applicant Tracking System can help eliminate many repetitive tasks when dealing with a lot of applicants at once. Just set the group action, click, and it’s done.

4. Coordinate and Centralize Recruitment

An ATS allows hiring managers to centralize the entire application process, from start to finish, in one convenient online dashboard from ASAP Payroll. Applicants can be sorted and reviewed from the same platform, even if your company has offices in multiple locations. Once you start using time-saving recruitment tools like this, it might even allow you to pinpoint bottlenecks in your hiring process that can be improved upon. You can filter and manage applications in an Applicant Tracking System, and customize the process to meet your specific needs when making future hires.

5. Create Unlimited Online Job Postings

There are many different job recruitment sites on the web these days, so there’s no sense in limiting yourself to just a few of them. With the ASAP Payroll ATS, you can cast a wider net in hopes of finding the best possible candidate for the job. With the time that you have already saved by streamlining your hiring process, you’ll have time to review more applications to find the best hire for the job. Our system allows you to create unlimited online job postings, and then collate all the applications, resumes, and documents in one centralized location.

6. Create Custom Job Application Questions

A customized job application is going to accomplish several different things in your hiring process. Custom questions will allow you to weed out certain candidates if they provide the wrong answer or no answer at all. It can also help you narrow your search by finding applicants who can provide the answers you’re looking for. Our ATS allows you to create applications with customized questions, saving you even more time in the application process.

7. Streamline Onboarding

Once you’ve selected the best candidate and made that new hire, you can still save time through streamlined onboarding. An ATS that integrates with your employee onboarding system through intelligent integrations saves even more time in the long run. It eliminates redundant data entry once again, which frees up more time in your HR department.
