In-House Recruitment ATS Platform Inquiry
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some guidance on a pressing issue. I’ve gone through several demos of different ATS platforms, but I’m still not getting the clarity I need on the process.
Here’s my situation: I want to easily post a job that automatically gets listed on Indeed. When applicants respond, I’d like to see their applications directly within the ATS. However, Loxo’s chat support mentioned that I would need to forward all applications via email, which seems inefficient. I’m not looking for an applicant sourcing tool; I simply want to manage the incoming applications efficiently. If the system can intelligently sort through the applications, that would be an added bonus.
I’m just one individual trying to streamline our hiring process for a company of about 400 people, and this is strictly for filling internal roles like caregivers and cleaners. We often receive around 600 applications for each job post, most of which are not suitable. I really need a reliable method to sift through these submissions. It feels like every ATS demo I’ve attended focuses heavily on talent sourcing, which isn’t relevant to my needs.
Currently, we’re relying on Indeed and handling everything manually, and nobody at our company has experience with ATS systems. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi there,
It sounds like you’re in a bit of a frustrating situation, trying to navigate the world of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) for your in-house recruitment needs. It’s completely understandable that you want a streamlined process without the additional complexities of talent sourcing tools.
From what you’ve described, it seems like your primary need is a user-friendly ATS that can:
Post Job Listings to Multiple Platforms: You should look for an ATS that allows you to post jobs directly to Indeed and potentially other job boards with just a few clicks, without needing to manually manage postings.
Collect Applications Efficiently: Once candidates apply, you want their applications to be automatically imported into the ATS, allowing you to view and manage them within the system without the need to forward emails.
Have Smart Sorting Features: Given the volume of applicants you’re receiving, it’s crucial to have features that help intelligently sort through applications. Look for an ATS that provides filtering options based on keywords, qualifications, or even AI-driven ranking systems to highlight the best candidates.
Some ATS platforms that cater to in-house recruitment and might suit your needs include:
It’s a good idea to ask specific questions during your demos, like how applications are imported, whether they can be automatically sorted, and if there are features to help you filter out non-relevant applications.
I hope this helps you find the right ATS that will truly streamline your recruitment process!
Good luck!
