ATS evaluation

Choose an ATS for a growing startup

Give a small hiring team a shared process that can evolve as roles and responsibilities change.

Make the first role the evaluation

Startups often have founders and managers doing recruiting alongside other work. Test whether those people can understand the job's stages, find a candidate's context and leave useful feedback. Keep the process small enough to maintain and clear enough to hand to a future recruiter.

Plan for more roles and more reviewers

Look at vacancy limits, recruiter seats and how client or hiring reviewers are handled. Distinguish what you need for your next hire from what you may need after building a dedicated team. Record when an upgrade would become necessary.
