4 Industries That Make Use of an Applicant Tracking System

An applicant tracking system offers a whole range of benefits to businesses looking to fulfil their own hires. In the wake of the pandemic many more industries have been seeing the value in applicant tracking systems and we’re starting to see these solutions be adopted globally. Below are some of the top industries making use of applicant tracking services.

Healthcare 

ATS systems are a massive benefit to the healthcare industry. When hiring for higher level roles within the sector, having access to a diverse yet refined talent pool makes it far easier to find the correct person for the job; with people’s lives at stake, an ATS can make all the difference. To further complement its use in this field, one of the main features of ATS allows for volume hiring of talent to fill a larger number of roles at entry level. We frequently see applicant tracking systems in use to quickly fill vacancies in hospitals, surgeries, medical centres and other health and social care settings.

Construction 

With a need to hire regularly for individual projects, the construction industry is one that carries out a great deal of recruitment. When looking to carry out large-scale projects, a construction business may look to onboard additional workers – something that can be a long and laborious process. Through the scheduling assistance that an ATS system provides, it becomes very easy to organise interviews and keep in contact with larger talent pools; by doing so, you are also far less likely to alienate applicants and may end up getting individuals applying for multiple roles.

Technology

One of the most rapidly evolving sectors is that of technology; this can make the sourcing and hiring of talent a sizeable challenge. Many modern ATS systems offer thorough screening options which enable recruitment teams to narrow down the applicant pool to those that best meet the job criteria. Experience is also key within such a rapidly developing industry and applicant tracking systems can be very efficient at ensuring that your recruitment team has access to the highest quality candidates on offer. 

Finance 

High quality hires are key within the finance industry and something that requires a great deal of effort from recruitment teams. Finance tends to be a very specific field with there being a large demand for experts with certain products or services experience. A high demand means that competition for talent is very high and applicants may be quick to have their heads-turned when receiving an offer from a competitor. You’re always going to want to keep applicants updated on the recruitment process and the automated messaging and interview scheduling offered with an ATS is far more likely to keep applicants engaged.
