Recruitment Software

    What is recruitment software?

    Recruitment software is technology to manage a companies hiring process. The functionality of recruitment software dramatically differs across the market from recording and managing candidate, client, vacancy, placement, temporary time sheet processing and client invoicing data.

    Depending on the software provider, recruitment software can be a fully integrated solution or can integrate with a number of other solutions. The term recruitment software is often used to discuss more specialist products such as Applicant Tracking Systems or Recruitment Customer Relationship Management systems.

    ATS vs CRM VS RMS

    Recruiting software can offer a number of solutions that help talent acquisition teams to find and hire qualified candidates.
