But that doesn&#8217;t make the advice any easier to follow. Have you ever\u00a0broken a pair of headphones? You can pay a steep cost for a good replacement, or drop five bucks on a cheap pair. But if you buy the five-dollar headphones, chances are you&#8217;ll be shopping for a new pair in a week.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true for your recruitment agency. A free applicant tracking system or a spreadsheet solution may fill an immediate need at a minimal cost, but it can severely hinder your ability to grow and become profitable in the future.

Productive employees help boost the profitability of your agency, and applicant tracking systems excel in eliminating inefficiencies from your recruitment operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much of your recruiters\u2019 time is spent on tasks you could automate? An ATS will automate otherwise manual tasks for you, giving your recruiters more time to focus on your candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want your B and C players to perform like your A-team? An applicant tracking system makes it possible to identify and reproduce the habits of your top performers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the reported benefits of agencies that switched to an ATS:<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/Screenshot-2017-06-29-14.23.39.png\" alt=\"ATS ROI\" width=\"921\" height=\"503\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/Screenshot-2017-06-29-14.23.39.png 921w, https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/04\/Screenshot-2017-06-29-14.23.39-768x419.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Agencies that use an ATS make more placements, take less time to fill a position, and are generally more productive.

Eliminate the steps that lead to hassle and frustration.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An excellent ATS and its integrations can help simplify every step of the candidate\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lifecycle, from streamlining the application process to eliminating timely paperwork\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during the onboarding process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s the human touches that truly make for a great candidate experience.

Making matters worse, a third of recruitment agencies take at least four months until their recruiters are ready to perform at an optimal level. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ATS is a great tool for getting your new recruiters and salespeople up to speed more effectively. <span>A good ATS will also track all of your recruiters\u2019 activities so you can provide custom feedback based on the performance of each recruiter. An ATS can also help recruiters to quickly perform at a seasoned level. An ATS with predictive intelligence (something that free applicant tracking systems won&#8217;t offer) will automatically analyse your interactions with a client so your recruiters can identify costly mistakes before they happen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Want to learn more about the benefits of an applicant tracking system?
