Applicant Tracking System FAQs
What is an applicant tracking system (ATS)?
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is recruitment software that helps organisations manage the entire hiring process in one place. It allows employers to attract candidates, collect and store applications, track applicants through each stage of recruitment, and communicate with candidates efficiently. ATS platforms are designed to improve hiring speed, consistency, and compliance.
How does an applicant tracking system work?
An applicant tracking system works by centralising recruitment activity into a single platform. Candidates apply through an online careers site, their applications are automatically captured, and recruiters can screen, shortlist, interview, and progress applicants through defined hiring stages. The system also supports communication, reporting, and compliance throughout the process.
What are the benefits of using an applicant tracking system?
Using an applicant tracking system helps organisations hire more efficiently and fairly. Key benefits include reduced administrative work, faster time-to-hire, improved candidate experience, better visibility of recruitment activity, and stronger compliance with data protection and equality requirements. An ATS also enables better collaboration between hiring managers and recruitment teams.
Who should use an applicant tracking system?
An applicant tracking system is suitable for organisations of all sizes that hire regularly. It is particularly valuable for employers managing multiple vacancies, high application volumes, or complex hiring processes. Public sector bodies, large retailers, universities, and large employers often use an ATS to ensure consistency, transparency, and compliance in recruitment.
What features should I look for in an applicant tracking system?
Key features to look for in an applicant tracking system include job posting and careers site management, application tracking, shortlisting tools, interview scheduling, candidate communication, reporting, and GDPR compliance. Many organisations also look for configurable workflows, accessibility features, and integrations with HR, onboarding, and assessment tools.
How is Tribepad’s applicant tracking system different from other ATS providers?
Tribepad’s applicant tracking system is designed specifically for organisations hiring at scale, with a strong focus on fairness, inclusivity, and compliance. It offers configurable workflows, accessibility-led design, and proven support for complex public sector recruitment. Unlike many generic ATS platforms, it is built to handle high-volume hiring without compromising candidate experience.
Can an applicant tracking system support high-volume recruitment?
Yes, an applicant tracking system is ideal for high-volume recruitment. It automates application handling, enables bulk actions such as shortlisting and communications, and provides clear visibility across large candidate pools. This makes it easier to manage peak hiring periods, campaigns, and recurring recruitment needs without increasing administrative burden.
Is an applicant tracking system compliant with UK GDPR and data protection laws?
Most modern applicant tracking systems are designed to support UK GDPR and data protection requirements. This includes secure data storage, controlled access, audit trails, and defined data retention policies. An ATS helps organisations handle candidate data responsibly while maintaining transparency and accountability throughout the recruitment process.
How long does it take to implement an applicant tracking system?
Implementation time for an applicant tracking system varies depending on organisational size and complexity. Many ATS platforms can be configured and launched within weeks rather than months. Implementation typically includes system setup, workflow configuration, careers site integration, and user training to ensure teams can start recruiting quickly and confidently.
Can an applicant tracking system integrate with other HR and recruitment tools?
Yes, most applicant tracking systems can integrate with other HR and recruitment tools. Common integrations include HR information systems, onboarding platforms, assessment tools, background checking services, and job boards. Integrations help reduce manual data entry, improve accuracy, and create a smoother end-to-end hiring process.
