Comprehensive Insights on Recruitment Software and Applicant Tracking Systems in IT Companies

Dear All,

I am working in an IT company and taking care of the recruitment process. However, we are unable to manage our database efficiently, so we are in search of recruitment software. Kindly guide me on the sources where we can track which candidates have already been interviewed and also maintain a pool of CVs, similar to what is done on job portals. We are looking for a simple and reasonably priced solution specifically for tracking purposes within our company.

Please help me with recommendations or suggestions. Feel free to contact me at the following:

Thank you.

Hi Emmy,

Seeing your requirement, I have identified two key points:

a) You need a solution that will help you track the source of the CVs and keep track of interview assessments. This may include the workflow of the functional department creating a RFR and approving it. HR receives the approved RFR and creates a position notice for the same, specifying the selection stage owners, and finally sending it to consultants, publishing it on the website's careers page, and to the employees. If a candidate tries to apply for a second time, the system should take them to their existing CV and update it. There should be provisions to keep the database updated. The system should trigger emails to the shortlisted candidates informing them of the date and venue for the next stage. The system should not clog the mailbox of the HR manager with incoming CVs; instead, it should save them in a central repository for viewing by people in the organization based on their access rights. The system should be robust, flexible, scalable, intuitive, and require little or no user training.

b) Low capital investment and high ROI.

I represent a Delhi HQ Software development firm called Global Groupware Solutions Ltd. We are in the HRMS space with our flagship product called Smiles ERM. Our major clients include AIS Glass, GenesisPR, Hewitt, ICI Paints, Teletech (Bharti BPO), Indian Oil, Sony, among others.

Employee Acquisition is one of the modules of the solution.

For companies that do not wish to invest too much in HR automation, we provide ASP service. Here the client rents the application from us. The application runs on our servers at a secure data center, and the client uses it over the web. This gives them the option of not investing in the IT infrastructure needed (database licenses, servers, etc).

The cost can be as low as Rs 25 per employee per month in some cases and go as high as Rs 150 depending on the modules selected (Rs 150 for complete Smiles ERM).

There is more than an 80% cost saving in deploying Smiles ERM as an ASP service.

If Smiles ERM excites you, please contact me.

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 make 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 in reducing the total time of searching and processing resumes.

2. If yes, what would be the salient features the industry would prefer? - One should see if this helps in searching resumes based on various 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 are 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 a 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 price would you be willing to pay for both models? - I have seen demos of all the good ATS in India, and every one is priced based on the number of user licenses. Roughly, each user license costs between 7k to 15k.
