As applications start flowing in, you’ll need to come up with a process to review them. You can allocate one or more people to review applications and narrow down your viable candidates. You can also use some form of recruiting software, like an applicant tracking system (ATS).

An ATS helps analyze candidates and searches for any flaws in the hiring process. It filters candidates according to hiring needs and makes it easier for recruiters and hiring managers to view an applicant’s performance. The software can’t make wise decisions about who to hire, but it simplifies relevant keywords in a resume, aligning candidates with your business’s needs and wants.

With automatic rankings, you can compare resumes against your job description. The software then forwards the resumes with the highest matches to the next stage. It’s also a powerful solution to coordinate the candidate pipeline and ensure quality candidates are not lost in the shuffle.
