ATS and candidate sourcing

Your ATS manages applications. CandidateForce brings the people.

An applicant tracking system organises candidates once they apply. It does not create applicants. CandidateForce adds the missing half: a candidate database you search yourself, job distribution and direct contact, connected to the same hiring pipeline. Use it next to your ATS, or on its own.

  2. What an ATS does, and where it stops

    Distribution

    An applicant tracking system is the record of your hiring process. It receives applications, stores candidate profiles, moves people through stages such as new, screening, interview, offer and hired, keeps the messages and holds the history. That structure is genuinely useful, and every team that hires regularly needs it.

  3. ATS and CandidateForce: salt and pepper

    Applications

    An ATS answers what happens to the candidates you already have. CandidateForce answers where the next ones come from. Neither replaces the other, and a team hiring for hard to fill roles usually needs both.
