The document discusses a presentation given by Jerome Ternynck of SmartRecruiters and Hayke Tjemmes of Wehkamp at HR Tech World Amsterdam in October 2017. Hayke Tjemmes discusses Wehkamp's decision to change their applicant tracking system (ATS) due to issues with their existing system, including low adoption rates and a lack of reporting data. They selected SmartRecruiters as their new ATS provider due to its alignment with their requirements. The implementation took 4 weeks and went smoothly with support from Talent Collective. Initial results include increased adoption rates and improved scheduling and reporting capabilities. Key learnings from the project are also discussed.
