Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

HR recruitment software is a tool that manages the end-to-end hiring process in one place. It covers everything from posting job adverts and collecting applications, reviewing each application, to reviewing candidates, scheduling interviews, issuing offers, and handing new hires over to onboarding. PeopleHR's applicant tracking system is built directly into your HR platform, so recruitment and people management work together from day one. 

An applicant tracking system lets you manage every stage of the recruitment process from one place. You can post vacancies, collect and review applications, score and shortlist candidates, schedule interviews, collect structured feedback from hiring managers, issue offer letters, and hand accepted candidates straight into onboarding. PeopleHR's ATS also gives you reporting tools so you can track time to hire, application volumes, and where candidates are dropping out of the process. 

PeopleHR's applicant tracking system is designed to be straightforward for HR teams and hiring managers alike. Create a vacancy, set your scoring criteria, and publish to your chosen job boards. Applications come in automatically and each application sits in your pipeline and sit in your pipeline, ready to review. Move candidates through each stage, schedule interviews, collect feedback, and issue offers, all from your desktop or mobile app. 

Recruitment in HR covers the full process of identifying, attracting, and hiring the right people for a business. That includes writing job descriptions, advertising vacancies, reviewing applications, interviewing candidates, making offers, and managing the onboarding process for new starters. An applicant tracking system supports each of these stages, giving HR teams and hiring managers the tools to run a consistent, efficient, and compliant recruitment process. 

An applicant tracking system is useful for any business that hires regularly and wants a more structured, efficient process. It is particularly valuable for HR teams managing multiple vacancies at once, hiring managers who need to assess and score candidates consistently, and businesses that want to reduce time to hire without adding headcount. PeopleHR's ATS is built for UK businesses of all sizes, from growing SMEs to larger organisations with complex hiring needs. 

The right applicant tracking system depends on the size of your team, the volume of hiring you do, and how your recruitment process works today. Look for software that covers the full hiring journey, integrates with your existing HR platform, and gives hiring managers tools they will actually use. GDPR compliance, mobile access, and reporting on key metrics like time to hire and cost per hire are also worth prioritising. PeopleHR's ATS is built into your HR system, so there is no separate tool to manage. 

PeopleHR's applicant tracking system is included as part of the PeopleHR platform, starting from £3 per employee per month. There are no hidden fees or per-vacancy charges. You can start with a free 14-day trial to see how the software works for your team before committing.
