"If you are a local authority who is still using manual methods to manage your recruitment, an ATS is a must. The cost savings, increased efficiencies and improvements to hiring timescales are vast. At Bristol City Council, we have benefited from empowering our Hiring Managers, reducing administration and improving the candidate experience, and it’s saved us a great deal of time and money. I would definitely explore using an Applicant Tracking System – and have an open mind about how you can improve your processes or change the way you do things for a more efficient process. Recruitment doesn’t have to be that hard!"
