Hiring guide

How applicant tracking systems work

Follow an application from a careers page through review, interviews and a hiring decision.

Receive and organize applications

A job page sets out the role and collects the information needed for an initial review. The ATS links each submission to the job and the candidate. CV parsing can help organize information from an uploaded document, but reviewers should still check the original when details matter.

Move through decisions, with context

A hiring team reviews the application, records notes and advances or closes it according to its process. Draft supports job-specific hiring stages and candidate records. On paid plans, workflow rules can respond to application submissions or updated answers with configured actions.

Before enabling a rule, confirm its scope, conditions and result using representative examples. Keep a person responsible for exceptions and final decisions. Automation is only useful when the underlying process is clear.
