Hi,
I was going through your posting and thought to respond. I am working with a big consultancy firm in Delhi and we use "Recruit Plus - A product from ITCONS e-Solutions". One has to take a judicious decision before purchasing an ATS; to my understanding, the following points should be taken into consideration:
1. Is there a need for an automated ATS (Applicant Tracking System)? - Yes, it not only helps organize resumes but a good ATS also helps reduce the total time of searching and processing a resume.
2. If yes, what would be the salient features the industry would prefer? - One should see if this helps in searching the resumes based on various search conditions like total experience, current company, designation, past company, salary, education, college name, location, etc., apart from a keyword search.
3. What are the common pain points for Recruitment and Staffing Companies? - To extract data from emails that is unused and to quickly search for the right fit from the database.
4. Would you prefer it to be on a subscription model or a one-time payment model? - Since most companies offer ATS on both models, one has to consider the one-time purchase cost versus the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the monthly subscription model. In my opinion, if the company is small, say up to 5 users, they should opt for the monthly model.
5. What would be the price you would be willing to pay for both models? - I have seen demos of all the good ATS in India; each one is priced based on the number of user licenses. Roughly, each user license ranges between 7k to 15k.
