Benefits of Using an Applicant Tracking System

If you have yet to upgrade to or fully utilize an Applicant Tracking System, you may be wondering what the primary benefits are.

Benefits include:

Creating a collaborative recruitment process.
Creating strategic recruitment workflows.
Seamlessly expanding your talent pool.
Reducing time to hire and cost per hire.
Improving the quality of your candidates.
Making scheduling interviews faster and easier.
Enabling remote accessibility for your HR team.
Supporting your DEI initiatives with blind screening.

And more!

How an ATS Streamlines the Recruitment Process

Your ATS streamlines multiple aspects of your recruitment process.

This includes the ability to:

Scale hiring in a manner that is strategic, organized, and easy to measure.
Create and save job listings, and post them to multiple job boards with the click of a button.
Automate interview scheduling, follow-up messaging, and other administrative tasks.
Allow on-site, remote, part-time, and full-time HR team members access to the same information.
Centralize candidate management, document tracking, candidate information, and other essential data.
And more!

Top Features to Look For in an Applicant Tracking System

Most businesses start out with a manual recruitment process that includes searching job boards, creating flowcharts to map out hiring needs, and spreadsheets to track candidates. This organic process works when you only have a few positions to fill but becomes increasingly inefficient as your staffing needs evolve.

As the volume of open positions grows and your need for specialized job skills increases, a manual process slows you down. Tasks inevitably fall through the cracks and the candidate experience may not put your best foot forward.

Technology doesn’t fix every problem or replace the need for an HR team or partner that possesses the core competencies of effective recruitment. An ATS system empowers you to take a strategic approach.

Prioritize an ATS system that:

Allows you to create a brand-aligned job board, email templates, and recruitment collateral.
Posts directly to multiple job boards and has candidate sourcing tools built in.
Allows you to market open positions on both job boards and social media channels.
Has built-in tools to automate administrative tasks, minimize compliance violations, and offer blind screening and DEI reporting.
Provides a variety of candidate relationship management tools such as the ability to schedule interviews, message candidates, securely store candidate information, and track candidate progress.
Tracks and measures overall recruitment KPIs so that you can analyze and refine your recruitment process.

Choosing the Right ATS for Your Company's Needs

Identify the features that will be of most value to your team, keeping in mind that the full value won’t be realized until you migrate your data and put your software to use. Most ATS systems provide a free demo or free trial period so you can experience the benefits first-hand.

Select the right ATS for your company by ensuring it:

Has positive consumer reviews.
Addresses your key areas of opportunity.
Can deliver user optimization statistics.
Offers a free trial before subscribing.
Integrates with your technology.
Offers pricing plans within your budget.
Meets your needs for data security.
Meets your compliance requirements.
Has an efficient migration process.
Has a reliable customer support team.

How to Adapt and Optimize Recruitment Software

The more functions your HR software performs, the greater the expense. Therefore, many organizations begin with a system that streamlines and simplifies one or two aspects of the recruitment process.

We have found that even when small HR teams have software, the software is typically underutilized. The mindset is often that the recruitment volume isn’t yet high enough to transition from the manual process. Whether your software suite is limited or all-encompassing, make the most of it by integrating it and using your tools to their full potential. This saves time, stress, and money while improving the quality of your candidates.

HR Software Solutions

HR software solutions are similar but unique. When selecting the option that is right for your company, think beyond your existing needs to your evolving needs. Analyze the ROI of your software annually, including whether it’s being utilized to its full potential.

The primary HR software categories to prioritize are:

Candidate Sourcing
Software that allows you to market and post to multiple job boards. It must also blind screen candidates with filtered criteria, even those who are gainfully employed.
Candidate Engagement and Communication
Instead of flooding your inbox with recruitment messaging, enable multi-channel communication through a candidate relationship management (CRM) system.
Candidate Selection
Some software systems provide tools that allow you to conduct personality and skill assessments, reference and background checks, and other tools to narrow down your candidates.
Onboarding
Onboarding entails a variety of repetitive and tedious tasks. Onboarding software keeps you organized and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
Applicant Tracking Systems
ATS systems provide all the features above, providing strategic and seamless recruitment and onboarding for the entire talent cycle.
Third-party Integration
The tools above are integrated, but your external HR partner may also provide an integrated option that allows you to measure, manage, and engage directly with them through your ATS.

Software Modules For Efficient HR Management

In addition to recruitment software, you will need to utilize software systems that manage talent beyond onboarding and initial training. This is one of the reasons it’s essential to ensure your entire software suite (internally and externally) is integrated. Then create modular workflows for every stage of the talent cycle.

The 7 most common software modules

Recruitment
Onboarding
Benefits management
Performance management
Time and Attendance tracking
Time off tracking
Learning and development management

Outsourced vs. In-House HR Software: Pros and Cons

One way to minimize your software investment is by partnering with IsoTalent to scale your software suite. Our proprietary platform, IsoConnect, doesn’t eliminate your need for ATS software — it amplifies your HR capabilities. This is of course, in addition to the rate at which we optimize your overall recruitment process.

IsoConnect

We can help coordinate recruitment with your current ATS software to seamlessly allow access to our tools, insights, and activities.
Potentially Minimizes Your Software Investment
Before you add or upgrade your existing software, we can talk you through the additional tools, features, and functionality IsoConnect delivers.

Enables International Payroll Approval
If you utilize us as your employer of record for global talent, you can easily review, manage, and approve payroll with our integration.

The primary downside is that if you aren’t currently utilizing your ATS software, there will be a learning curve. We assure you it’s worth taking the time to invest in training your team to proficiency, in addition to ensuring you have the right ATS for your needs.

Measuring the ROI of HR Software: What Metrics To Consider

Measure the ROI of your HR software by analyzing your pre- and post-upgrade analytics.

This should include

Percentage of open positions
Applicant completion rate
Interview to hire ratio
Source of hire
Sourcing channel effectiveness

EOR Platform (Employer of Record Platform)

Interested in EOR platforms to manage your international hires? While IsoTalent isn’t a full-fledged EOR software, you can utilize our proprietary platform, IsoConnect, for key stages of the international recruitment and employment cycle. For example, for employees hired through our global EOR, clients can review, manage, and approve payroll before it’s processed. (Read more about our full-service professional employer organization (PEO), employer of record (EOR), and recruitment agency.)

With IsoTalent, you don't need to source a separate PEO, EOR, and recruitment partner — our global hiring advisors offer people-first support on all fronts.

Understanding the Role of EOR in Global Expansion

To remain competitive in the modern marketplace, you must not count out global talent. The challenge with hiring international candidates who will continue to reside overseas is that you will need to either register a business in their foreign country or partner with an EOR.

Benefits of Using an EOR Service for International Hiring

Registering a business overseas is time-consuming, expensive, and limits you to hiring only in the countries you are registered in. It’s not a cost most small and mid-sized businesses can afford, and the time and expense may not be worth it for large organizations.

Using IsoTalent as an EOR partner and proprietary EOR platform ensures compliant:

Compensation
Holidays
Benefits & welfare
Severance & termination
Payroll tax
Employee contracts
International advisory services (AKA speak to a real person when you need help!)

Key Features of Our Hybrid EOR Platform

Where IsoTalent truly shines is in our people-first approach. Most EORs are only EORs. meaning they don’t offer recruitment, customer service, or ongoing hiring support. Unlike most EORs, IsoTalent is also a recruitment agency and PEO that works as an extension of your team.

We provide expert insights and resources to optimize your global expansion. Once your international talent is on board, we are available to you and your international talent for on-demand support.

Navigating International Employment Compliance With EOR Platforms

Just like in the United States, each country has complex HR, payroll, and labor laws. If you accidentally violate one of these laws, the costs can be astronomical.

Many countries limit how many hours or days you can hire contracted talent per year before you violate their labor laws. The risks are high, but you don’t have to go it alone.

Our combined EOR services eliminate the red tape and risks of costly mistakes related to:

Employee misclassification
Data and privacy compliance
IP Rights Protection
Compliant background checks
Compliant hiring
Compliant termination
Compliant payroll and taxes
Overtime and holiday pay
And more

Global Payroll Software

IsoTalent is an EOR and recruitment provider rather than a global payroll software provider, but we understand your needs and have created a payroll management system that functions in a similar manner to your local payroll software.

For tax purposes, your international professionals are technically employed by IsoTalent. However, per our service agreement, they are contracted to work for you. Our primary role is to help with your recruiting, payroll, and international compliance needs.

Simplifying Global Payroll Management With Software Solutions

With our proprietary client platform, IsoConnect, you can log in to your integrated dashboard any time to view, manage, and approve payroll before your designated pay dates.

Features to Look For in a Global Payroll Software

Shopping around for fully comprehensive platforms? Global payroll software features should be similar to your existing payroll software features.

This includes:

Advanced data security
Cloud storage capabilities
Tax, pay, and labor compliance
Ability to manage and approve
Automated processing
Direct deposit
Full transparency
Ease of access
Advanced reporting tools

Addressing Payroll Compliance Challenges Across Different Countries

You may already be familiar with payroll compliance challenges if you hire employees who live out of state. Adding international talent to the mix takes your compliance requirements to the next level.

Now you must navigate factors such as:

Employee misclassification
Data protection and security
IP Rights Protection
Compliant background checks
Compliant hiring
Compliant termination
Compliant payroll and taxes
Foreign languages
Cross-border currency conversion

How Global Payroll Software Integrates With HR Systems

Each payroll software system is unique, so we can only speak to IsoConnect.

IsoConnect can work with your existing ATS software so that you can manage international payroll and other recruiting and HR needs in one convenient location.

We are here for you, providing on-demand support for you and your international talent.

Ensuring Data Security and Privacy in Global Payroll Software

Data security and data privacy standards are similar but unique in each country. To ensure compliance, IsoConnect aligns with the most stringent standards.

To ensure ongoing compliance, we review the standards in each country multiple times per year.
