How does it work?

Candidate Manager’s ATS is focused on simplicity. There are two primary levels of access; for HR users and Hiring Managers although we can provide levels in between to accommodate customer requirements.
HR can manage the whole recruitment process centrally including but can involve others where it is required to distribute the work such as Hiring Managers, Divisional Managers and Approval Users.
The software can be accessed over the internet, negating the need for any I.T infrastructure requirements. It is fully security certified and supported by our world class support teams.

How do I know if I need one?

While there is no one answer, if you answer yes to any of the following then you may see a significant Return on Investment by using our ATS:
