As a Human Resources Manager, you are aware that most organizations use an applicant tracking system. If you are new to HR, an ATS collects and stores job applicants' resumes, personal information, interview notes, documentation, and candidate history. When a job seeker applies online to a job posting, their application, documents, and records will automatically populate into the company's ATS. This system allows HR and other decision-makers to quickly see how well the job applicants match the role to which they have applied.

Some of the most popular ATS programs will enable you to email a job seeker directly from the system and even book interviews or push out bulk SMS messages. Popular ATS' include Taleo, Bullhorn, Kenexa, SAP Success Factors, and JazzHR. Discuss what you know about ATS features and which systems you have used the most.
