A complete list of applicant tracking systems

Any recruiter that has ever used an applicant tracking system (ATS) will know that it is a must-have for managing high volume recruitment. In fact, these ATS tools are completely revolutionizing the way companies find and hire talent. Not only do they help to speed up the hiring process, but they also improve both efficiencies and cost savings.As with any software purchase though, there are certain factors you should be considering when it comes to choosing the best ATS for your business. While this certainly includes its functionality, scalability, ease of use and its ability to integrate with other systems, perhaps the biggest consideration is its price.The problem is, with 55% of SaaS vendors choosing to obscure their costs, lack of pricing transparency is making it incredibly difficult for prospective buyers to effectively compare providers and decide on the best fit. At least without entering into numerous sales conversations.So, what are your options when it comes to choosing the right applicant tracking system? What does each one cost? And how can you go about obtaining this pricing information if it’s not publicly available on the website?Let’s find out.,
