On this episode Tim and Joe talk about what an applicant tracking system is and how it can integrate with your background screening software or partner.
We also discuss considerations when evaluating an Applicant Tracking System to understand how the integration will work, who is responsible for obtaining and maintain authorization/disclosure forms.
Other considerations to look at would be can you customize your screening packages when you have an ATS integration in place. Does the ATS system integrate with substance abuse and other occupational health screens. Can you initiate rescreening, criminal monitoring and recurring driving record searches.
There are many creative ways to improve the efficiency of an on-boarding and screening process. Using technology in creative ways can give you cost effective solutions that are really powerful.
