Workday provide HR software that also encompases ATS software fucntionality. Their focus has traditionally been on the HR side of things therefore in general the sentiment of many recruiters is that their ATS software functionality is not as advanced as many other systems. Historically the experience for applicants using Workday has also been furstrating, a simple google search about this shows that Workday hasn't been very popular with applicants over the years as its forms want people to repeat information on their CV to populate their database. Unlike Workday we focus on improving candidate experience by gathering candidate screening information from custom forms that are emailed to candidates. We specialise in ATS software enabling advanced functionality, whereas Workday have a borader less ATS specialist focus.
Workable provide modern ATS software but they are also a HR HRIS softwar provider too. Whilst there software has some good functionality is used by quite a lot of companies it doesn't have the same level of automation as our software. Their careers page builder doesn't allow for lots of customisation like our drag & drop careers page builder. Custom branding is important to help present your company professionally and make your company memorable. If you can make your candidate's recruitment experience positive and memorable you're more likely to be rememebred favrourably.
Whilst Teamtailor is popular and has a modern design, it focuses on just applicant tracking rather than candidate atttraction functionality. Candidate attraction is via partners and APIs that are additional purchases and with any integrations between software companies there can sometimes be delays or issues. On the other hand, with our ATS software the candidate functionality is also our own software, this means our software connects with job board networks directly. Our repeat auto-refresh posting to free job board aggregators is also a key advantange of using ATS RS™ compared to other systems like Teamtailor.
In a similar way to Teamtailor, Greenhouse seems to focus on integration partners to extend functionality, rather than develop advanced software functoionality themselves. We have spent many years developing our ATS software to have lots of unique automations that some other systems can only achieve elements of via integrating with other tools. Intregrating other tools adds more costs to systems and can increase risks around data transfer. Greenhouse also tends to have a corporate design focus to their careers page UI. Customisation of a careers page design isn't a core focus of theirs. Obtaining cost-per-hire metrics can also be a lot more challenging with systems like Greenhouse that focus on partner integrations. Depnding on tools and what's possible regarding data transfer, job board advertising costs may not be visible is an easy-to-use graphical way. With our ATS software, cost-per-hire metrics are easy to have as we link dircetly wth job board networks and automatically keep track of costs and stats for you.
The design of Oleeo looks more classic in it's interface and looks less easy to use. Whereas with our ATS software, easy-of-use has been central to design process. We've made our software a modern and sleek design so that it's easy to understand and easy to set automations. On the face of it Oleeo doesn't look very easy to use. You use modern software in other areas of your business and you should with your recruitment processes too. Their website seems to mention that they can heavily customise their software to your requriements. Generally this is possible with most ATS software providers if required but a good design of system should ensure that you can cusotmise it youself directly in the platform, directly in the software without getting developers involved. ATS RS™ has been design to be easily customisable within the software itself, saving you money and time.
Oracle have been providing software for a long time and whilst this reassuring, some of there software code base has been built on older software architecture which doesn't allow for certain advabced automations. Recently they look to have developed their applicant tracking software offering to modernise it but Oracle is known to provide expensive software that only tends to be affordable for very large global firms. Unlike Oracle, our ATS software is desgined to be affordable for all businesses. We beleive that it should just be the big firms who get the benefit from industry-leading tech. The automations in our platform also differ to Oracle and provide unique benefits. As Oracle focus on developing other software across ERP pruposes too, they can't be as specialist & focused in developing innovative functionality for recruitment automation. With us, we focus soley on recruitment software so that we can be specialist and develop unique time-svaing functionality.
Reach themselves say on their website homepage 'our simple but smart system'. Ats ATS RS™ we know that smart is not simple, smart is complex and our software enables complex automations to save you lots of time. Our software is far from simple but has been designed so that it's easy to use enabling market-elading automation functioanlity across job board posting, screening forms and candidate communication. Strangely Reach don't seem to show any pictures of their ATS on their website so it's not easy to see if their software is modern or classic in it's design. Generally though if companies are reluctant to show you the design of their software, it's perhaps not that modern or easy to use. We can't be sure whether this is the case with Reach though.
Personio provide HR software that also has a talent management ATS element to it. Lots of HR systems have an applicant tracking software element to them but we believe that it's better to be a specialist than a jack of all trades and master of none. Whilst Personio software looks modern and is used by quite a lot of businesses, it's not specialist recruitment software that has specialist automations. When deciding on an ATS it's important to think about the level of advanced automation that's important to you, do you prefer to have HR functoonality and less advanced recrutiment automation functionality? With HR systems that also have an ATS software element, pricing and module utilisation can be complex and confusing too. With our ATS software this isn't a problem as we have set pricing with all features included.
Pinpoint provide an ATS software system and on their website they have written that 'there are cheaper solutions out there'. This indicates that their pricing may be on the expensive side. Compared to this, we price fairly to cover our operating costs and enable our business to grow through industry-leading research and development. On their website, they're also quite clear with who they don't beleive they're a good fit for. This is perhaps refreshing and transparent and there's obvously a reason to there being so many different ATS systems out there as they all focus on slightly different things and approaches but compared to this, we like to speak to everyone to ensure that our software matches the desired recrutiment process you wish for. Our software can be confugured to match the process you want and the process you know works from your company and industry experience.
Paradox look to focus on a conversational AI recrutiment experience and whilst this is good for some industries and some applicants may like this, not all applicants will like communicating with a conversational AI bot. Recruitment is a human process and therefore at ATS RS™ we focus on making the hiring experience as human as possible, the automations in our platform our desgined to speed up the time it takes to determine which candidates are best to speak to. In our view it's better to speak to the candidates dircetly whereever possible and whever time permits. Our purpose is to give you that time. Furthermore Paraodox look to focus on helping large brands who probably don't have a challenge with candidate attraction, their website doesn't seem to make mention of candidate attraction or multiple job board posting.
GoHire also use the word simple on their website homepage, perhaps indicates that there software is more on the simple side. Whilst simple ATS software can be enough for some small companies, advanced ATS software like ATS RS™ is not simple, it's more complex, enabling more complex recruitment workflow automations saving you lots of time. From seeig the design of the system a bit on their website video whilst it looks modern it looks like tge design is still focused on clicks, for example clicking options move candidates between stages rather than simply dragging them across stages. With our software we've included intiutive design elements to help with speed, for example mass bulk selection and also draggign candidates across into stages. From seeinng a few screenshots of their careers page builder, it also looks more of a simple builder with less customisation options.
Eploy is a popular ATS; however, it's automations are not as advanced as that of our ATS software. The design of Eploy's software is reasonably modern but does have a slight classic design element to it. Analytics also look to be a key part of their system which is good but there looks to be lots of bar charts all very close together which can seem a bit confusing. In our ATS software, we also have powerful and detailed recruitment analytics but our dahboards have been designed with more filters to enable easier and faster data decision-making. Whilst we're not certain if their software has cost-per-hire metrics we're aware that it's key differentiator to our software which we can obtain as we link directly with the job boards. Job requestitions seemed to be mentioned significantly on Eploy's website and requisitions is something you can do in our ATS too. Eploy look to also have a partners and integrations focus as they have a marketplace on their website. This isn't something ATS RS™ have as we prefer to develop fucntionality oursleves so we have control and can ensure system stability and reliability for you. While we do have some integrations, we're very careful about who we integrate with, choosing only other adavnced software partners to ensure our advanced ATS fucntionality.
Zoho produce a wide range of software across a wide range of applications. ATS software is one of the types of software they provide which they call Zoho Recruit. Whilst it looks like has all the usual funtionality Zoho don't seems to emphasie that they have andy advanced recruitment automation workflows like we do. Our ATS is very advanced in the area of time-saving automation. Automation is what makes our ATS RS™ recruitment software different. As Zoho develop all kinds of software, not just ATS software they're not specialsied in it and therefore this could perhaps mean soem of the features arn't as advanced. In there pricing strcuture there also appears to be limits on the number of active jobs. With our recruitment software this isn't an issue as there we don't have any job posting limits in our ATS.
The Access Group provide a wide range of software solutions, many of which they've acquired through acquisitions of other companies. Whilst their range of software is extensive and their ATS functionality looks reasonably comprehansive it doesn't have the same advanced automations as our recruitment software. Sometimes when companies acquire other companies to gain their functionality and add it to their platform their can be synchronisation or user experience challenges, sometimes this could be the case for access software products perhaps. The Access ATS is part of their People HR software which might be adequate for certain minimal ATS users having the convenience of everythign in one system but for more complex and more effective time-saving automations specialist applicant tracking software lik our ATS RS™ system delivers competitive advantage with market-leading functionality.
Applied ATS looks to have a ethical recruitment focus, with anonymous application functionality, Whilst some may like this functionality, recruitment processes can never be fully anonymous as they reach interview stage. In our vew, instead of using anonympus applications it's better to train your recruiters and hiring managers to avoid bias, ensure ethical practices and encourage diversity. Very few people really require anonymous applications and generally anonymous systems can later cause quite a lot of admin for either the candidate or recruiter further down the line inputting data. Sometimes if companies focus so heavily on remocing any bias as part of functionality they may not have focused much on time-saving automations. There website doesn't appear to mention time-savign prominently, perhaps indicating that this isn't there focus and therefore their system may suit lower volumes of roles and applicants perhaps.
Talos ATS is quite well known and whilst it has good functionality some of the functions are not that time-efficient to use. Our system has more advanced multiple person calendar synchronisation for candidate self-serve interview scheduling too. Our system tends to suit high volume recruitment processes that need more advanced automations. The process in Talos can be auite click heavy and defnitely a lot more click heavy than in our ATS. Talos also provide employee enagement software which means that perhaps their resources and focus are stretched compared to our exclusive focus & expertise in advanced recruitment software functioanlity.
iCIMS are another established player in the ATS market but they focus on the steadier corporate recruiting market rather than cutting-edge automations needed for high-volume hiring like our ATS. They also have a software solution for internal mobility of internal candidates, meaning their focus isn't soley on external recruitment software startegy and functionality like ours. This strentched focus may mean that they're not able to develop the same cutting-edge innovations as us, nor as quickly. Another aspect that comes to our attention is there use of the word AI. Like lots of providers our there they say they are AI this and AI that, AI-enabled everything. For us automation is our focus and much of this does not require AI. We believe in people powered recruitment processes enabled by time-saving tools. Whilst we're always looking into how AI can help to save time, we're focused on it in an automation sense rather than an everthing sense.
MHR have been providing HR, Payroll & Finance software for a long time, as per companies house, since 1984 in fact. Whilst this may sound like a good thing often with software companies that have been going a long time, there software is more classic and clunky. Market feedback has informed us that MHR's software is clunky and not very advanced on the recruitment ATS side of things. The ATS part of their system is called iTrent, which they mainly market as HR & Payroll software. In the past, although we've heard it's been resolved now, they have had some difficulty linking with Totaljobs. The images of iTrent on their website show that is has more of a classic design and doesn't mention time-saving automations like us.
Employment Hero provide an ATS as part of their HR software. Surprisingly they provide the ATS module for free and actually use their free ATS to attract customers to their HR & Payroll Software. If they're providing their ATS software module for free we can imagine that it's only a very simplistic ATS otherwise they wouldn't provide it for free. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for and if they're providing it for free to get you to sign up, don't expect much. Certainly don't expect all the unique automations that our advanced ATS has. Whilst the design looks straightfoward they don't show many pictures of their software either. As they focus on providing HR & Payroll software their development resources are likely to be stretched and not focused on advanced ATS software functionality development.
SAP SuccessFactors ATS software describes itself as human capital management software, which as using that phrase implies, is quite an old way of saying things. Nowadays HRIS or HR software is used much more frequently. As implies by this more traditional term their software is much more classic in its design and how is works. More corporate, less custom. SAP SuccessFactors has been around since 2001 which is a long time and as is often the case with older software it's design and fucntionality is less modern compared to other systems. Although they look like they have tried to modernise it, the classic design elements remain, especially for the candodate facing interfaces side of things. Thir website also doesn't mention much about automations and time-saving workflows. Our ATS on the otherhand focuses on automations and time-saving workflows.
BambooHR provide HR software that has an ATS module within it. As they don't specialise solely in ATS like us, their ATS functionality isn't as advanced as ours in terms of automations and time-saving functionality. Although it has a modern design MabooHR also has more or a coroporate standerdised feel and doesn't have the same level of customisation as our advanced & specialist ats software.
hireful provide ATS software that has a modern interface but doesn't have the same level of customisation as our specialist recruitment software. They also seem to have different pricing structures with different functionaltiy which seems a bit confusing as well as their pricing differing based on number of users. With our ATS, unlike hireful, we keep pricing much more simple and straightforward and include all functionality as standards. With regard to their careers page builder, it also doesn't allow for much as much customisation as our drag & drop custom careers website page builder.
Avature look to provide recruitment software that has more or a corporate design to it but with a modern twist. Whilst it looks to have resonably comprehensive functionality it doesn't look to emphasise automation functionality like our ATS. Also it doesn't mention on their website that they have digital offer acceptance and contract e-signing, something which is a very beneficial part of our ATS RS™ recruitment software. Furthermore, it doesn't look like they have repeat auto-refresh job board posting, something which we're confident is a very unique aspect of our ATS software.
Eightfold.ai call themselves a Talent Intelligence & Talent Management platform. It's seems that their software has capabailities around managing skills and talent within organisations as well as recruitment. Their website doesn't seem to clearly mention about recruitment marketing, links with Job Boards etc. so it's not clear from their website how much of a focus they have on this. From the surface of their website it seems like their software is more for internal talent management rather than being a recruitment marketing focused ATS like ATS RS.
Bullhorn describe themselves as staffing software for recruitment agencies. Their ATS is desgined to be used by recruitment agencies and as such includes recruitment agency speicfic functionality rather than recrutiment automation workflows that suit in-house recruiters like our ATS RS™ recruitment software. Their pricing is tailored to suit recruitment agencies too, whereas our ATS software is designed to be cost-effective for in-house recruitment budgets, helping you to save money and hire directly. Bullhorn was founded a long time ago in 1999 and the basis of their software is an older code base; however, they look to have updated it over the year to keep the interface modern. AI seems to be a focus for them at present whereas our ATS focuses on time-saving automations rather than AI. The focus of our ATS system on helping in-house recruiters means our design and user experience is likley to suit in-house recruitment teams more efffectively. Another consideration is that Bullhorn ATS extends it's functionality with a marletplace of other software integration vendors whereas we focus on adding our own features and controlling them ourselves.
Ciphr provide HR software that has a recruitment module. They also provide payroll software, elearning courses and LMS software too. ATS software is therefore not something they specialise in. they don't go into much detail about the features of their recruitment software; however, it seems that their ATS functionality is pretty standard with no particular emphasis on certain features. The focus of their website see,s to be moving candidates through stages rather than focused on time-saving ATS software automations like us. On their recruitment software page, they actually mention that there's a wide range of recruitment software out there and that the right platform for you 'will depend on the size of your organisation, the volume of roles you need to fill, the volume of applications you receive, and your goals for your recruitment process.' This perhaps implies that they're aware their recruitment software features may not suit everyone, perhaps as it's not their focus and HR software functionslity looks to be.
Talentia look to have a finance focus as well as a HR focus. Their website hompage also mentions that they make the complexity of mid-size companies easier. This implies that their software is suited to mid-size companies rather than large firms. Perhaps implying that their functionality isn't as advanced as large firms often desire & require. Candidate attraction tools seem to be less of a focus on their website but it does say they can post to mutiple job boards. For our ATS RS™ applicant trackign system, candidate attraction tools are a key difference of our system. for example our repeat auto-refresh posting to UK free job board aggregators. Although the software of Talentia looks reasonably modern in it's design, some of the screenshots show a lot of menu items which looks slightly confusing, implying that perhaps the user experience of their system has a lot of drop downs rather than smooth sleek workflows perhaps.
Employ Inc own JazzHR, Lever, Jobvite & NXTThing and has acquired them through acquisitions. These solutions are recruitment focused and it seems from the design of each of the websites that Employ Inc is in the process of amalgamating them and their functionlity together. Their website doesn't go into much detail regarding ATS functionality, instead focusing on outcomes from the software and client logos. Sometimes with systems providers that acquire others there can be complexities in merging systems and ensuring a consistent user experience but it seems Employ are in the process of this. Also, as Employ Inc own NXTThing, a recruitment process outsourcing provider, it looks like they're offering this service alongside their software. NxtThing is mentioned on Lever's website. Instead of suggesting an RPO service, our ATS focuses on enabling time-saving automations so time is saved and an RPO service might not be needed. Instead our recruitment workflow automations enable in-house recruiters to be time-effective and highly efficent.
Occupop market themselves as 'simple recruitment software for SMBs'. Their ATS is focused on serving small and medium businesses and as such has simple fucntionality rather than advanced recruitment automation functionality like our ATS RS™ recruitment software. As it's designed for smaller firms, they have limits on the number of live job in their system at any time. This can be frustrating and is a fristration we've actually heard from people using Occupop and consdiering switching to our ATS software. With their pricing stucture, it also appears a bit complex as to what functionality is included. By comparison we at ATS RS™ like to keep our pricing clear and straightforward including all functionality. Their own careers page looks quite simplictic and this perhaps represents that Occupop is only capable of creating simplistic careers pages and job vacancy listings as part of their ATS.
Tribepad has the slogan of 'power to the people finders' and a lot of their marketing is centered around this. This message resonates well and their website has lots of powerful statements but it doesn't seem to go into detail around features. To be clear about our functionality we decided to add a features page to list details about our ATS software. Their website mentions that they have Tribepadgro ATS and Tribepadpro ATS with 'gro' being for smaller companies and 'pro' being for larger companies. They are transparent about their pricing but there is a big difference between their 'gro' package at £500 per month and their 'pro' package at £2,000 per month. Their website also doesn't mention much about candidate attraction and Job Boards, this looks to be covered by their Ecosystem integration partners. A key difference with our ATS RS™ recruitment software is our repeat auto-refresh psoting to job boards functionality, both to free and paid job boards.
Jobtrain mention on their website that they have their Jobtrain ATS for complex hiring and their JTGO solution which is for smaller organisations. Their website seems to focus on their careers page builder and whilst it looks good it, they don't mention much about recruitment automation workflows. On the other hand our ATS RS™ applicant tracking system has a full drag & drop careers & job vacancies website page builder as well as innovative recruitment automation workflow functionality. They don't share many screenshots of their software although there are some bots showing their software in their videos. Their packages also seem confusing as they have JTPro JTExpert and JTGO. JTPro doesn't iclude certain things and it seems bit are modular as extras. By comparison, with our ATS software we have one version which includes all our advanced functionality, nice and simple and no hidden price changes for extra modules.
HiBob market themselves as a HRIS, HR software rather than recruitment software although recently in 2024 they have added a recruiting software element to their system. They say adding 'Bob Hiring' 'rounds out Bob as an all-in-one solution'; however, as we know if you're looking for specialist advanced functionality in the area of recruitment software and applicant tracking, like when choosing any advanced software, it's often best to go with a speciaist if you're looking for market-leading functionality. There's a reason why there's so many ATS systems out there, so many vendors specialise in it as development is complex and requires great attention to detail, coding ability and a deep understanding of what ideal recruitment workflows are. HiBobs website also doesn't mention much about recruitment automation workflows, a key differentiator of our ATS RS™ recruitment software.
Hireserve don't seem to show screenshots of their recruitment software on their website so it's difficult to determine how modern their software is but from a Google images search it looks to have more of a classical design. Their ATS software covers sourcing, evaluating, hiring and looks to have a few integrations. Their website currently only has 3 sectors showing as not for profit, education and public sector; this perhaps indicates that their focus is on these sectors rather than other sectors. Perhaps their software suits these sectors better than private sector so they have only listed those 3 on their website for now.
Zappyhire also don't post many pictures of their software but their website shows that their ATS seems to have quite a wide range of features. They don't seem to emphasise the talent attraction, recruitment marketing fucntionality of their platform in great detail. The features section of their website focuses on their ARS functionality around: experience, intelligence and automation. With regard to automation though they don't seem to mention about recrutiment automation workflows which is a key differentiator for our ATS RS recruitment software.
Comparing 100 ATS Software Companies to our ATS Recruitment Software
4 reasons why our ATS is different.
Auto-refresh helps to keep your job posts high up on the free job board aggregators automatically. Repeat posting can be set for selected paid job boards if you wish too. This saves you a huge amount of time and improves job board visibility encouraging more applications.
