Hiring Software That Changed The
Game Surrounding Employment!
WHAT IT IS…
• A software application that enables the electronic
handling of a company's recruitment needs
• Software that allows an organization to collect
and store candidate and job related data through
all stages of the hiring process
• Software that can be used to post job openings
on a corporate website or job board, screen
resumes, and generate interview requests
WHAT IT IS NOT…
• A tool to replace actual recruiters – thus
eliminating personal contacts
• Systems that are only used by large companies
with vast hiring needs
• Found as difficult to use by HR and Recruiting
Managers
• Require significant IT support and extensive
computer maintenance
• Just an electronic database of resumes and
applications
