Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
Definition
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software that organizes hiring in one place - it posts your jobs, collects every application, and tracks each candidate as they move from applied to hired. Instead of juggling email inboxes and spreadsheets, a small business uses an ATS to see its whole pipeline at a glance. ParsleyHR is an ATS built specifically for small businesses, with flat pricing and no contract.
Also called: ATS, recruiting software, hiring software.
