Subject: Seeking Recommendations for ATS Software with Sourcing Capabilities
Hello everyone,
I’m in the process of selecting our company’s first Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and would appreciate your insights.
A bit of context: we’re a Paris-based company focusing on attracting talent from prestigious firms like McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, alongside recruiting for technical and sales positions.
Here are my challenges:
– Currently, I manually gather CVs from five different job boards, screen each application, and then download them to upload to Airtable (which functions similarly to Excel in the cloud). I also manually send out screening tests and schedule interviews, which has led to human errors, occasionally resulting in the rejection of suitable candidates.
– I actively source passive candidates on LinkedIn, and I often find it difficult to keep track of my outreach efforts using Excel.
I’m convinced there’s a comprehensive solution that combines both ATS and sourcing capabilities. As our team grows from 30 to 55 people next year, it’s essential that we find the right tool. So far, I’ve spoken with Ashby, Workable, Manatal, and Lever (though the rep from Lever didn’t seem interested in doing a demo since we’re a smaller company).
If you have any additional recommendations, I would be very grateful for your help. Thank you!
