An ATS is a type of software that helps companies post job openings and manage the recruiting process. It can automate repetitive tasks such as posting job ads to multiple job boards, screening resumes, and scheduling interviews. It can also help keep track of which candidates have been contacted and which stage of the hiring process they are in.

Some ATSs can even evaluate resumes using keywords and other criteria to score and rank candidates, making it easier for recruiters to find the best match for a job. In addition, ATSs can help create a talent pipeline by storing candidate information for future openings.

Most ATSs include a career portal, where candidates can submit their resumes and apply for jobs online.

Many ATSs can also be integrated with other HR software, such as performance management and employee onboarding systems.
