ATS evaluation
How to compare applicant tracking systems
Look beyond a feature checklist and test the complete application-to-decision process.
Use the same test for every system
Create a sample vacancy, a few fictional candidate records and a set of review tasks. Ask the people who will use the tool to complete those tasks. Look for missing context, ambiguous statuses and handoffs that still need a separate spreadsheet. Record observations instead of relying on an overall impression.
Evaluate implementation as part of the purchase
Check how existing records can be moved, which information an export contains and how access will be assigned. Confirm the plan limits and the practical work required to publish your first role. Compare current vendor documentation directly when you need pricing or contractual information.
Draft connects job applications, candidate profiles, notes and hiring stages. Explore those workflows and compare the published plans against your own requirements.
