One place for the hiring process
An applicant tracking system is a shared workspace for recruiting. It connects a job opening to its applicants, records where each person is in the process and keeps the information a hiring team needs to make a decision. A candidate profile and an application are different: one person may apply to several roles, with a separate decision for each.
Draft brings hiring stages, candidate profiles, CVs and team notes together. Your team can use a company careers page to receive applications and review people against the needs of a particular role.
Start with the next decision
Before choosing a tool, map one real vacancy from application to decision. Identify who reviews applications, what evidence they need and when the candidate should hear back. Use that process to evaluate the software. A long feature list matters less than whether a recruiter and hiring manager can agree on the next step.
