Core capabilities
What applicant tracking software does
Applicant tracking software (ATS) is the system a hiring team uses to publish jobs, collect every application in one place, screen and move candidates through interview stages, and record the final decision. Good applicant tracking software removes spreadsheets and inbox searching: every candidate, conversation and interview lives on one profile, and every hiring step is recorded so you can see what is working.
1. Attract
One-click posting to job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Google for Jobs, Naukri) and your custom branded careers page.
2. Capture
Applications from boards, your website, forwarded HR emails, and bulk CV uploads automatically land in one unified list.
3. Screen
Automated resume parsing, knockout screening questions, and a transparent 0–100% candidate match score.
4. Interview
Two-way Google and Microsoft calendar sync with self-scheduling links and automatic Teams, Meet, or Zoom video links.
5. Decide
Structured evaluation scorecards, shared notes, and side-by-side interviewer ratings for fair and consistent hiring.
6. Onboard
Digital offer letters, customizable joining document collection, and day-one setup tasks inside the exact same system.

Evaluation framework
How to choose applicant tracking software: a 5-question checklist
Ask these five critical questions before committing to an ATS vendor.
1. Where do your applicants come from today?
Ensure the software supports one-click posting to your primary job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Google for Jobs, Naukri) and can automatically ingest resumes forwarded from your HR email inbox.
2. Who needs access (recruiters, hiring managers, interviewers)?
Check if the vendor charges for every user. With OneATS, hiring managers and interviewers review candidates and submit scorecards via secure links without requiring paid seat licenses.
3. Do you need onboarding in the same tool?
If you don't want to export candidates into spreadsheets or re-type employee records into an HRMS, choose an applicant tracking system with built-in offer letters and document checklists.
4. What reports does leadership ask for?
Verify that the ATS tracks funnel velocity, source-of-hire attribution, and time-to-hire metrics so you can optimize recruitment budget allocations.
5. Where is candidate data stored, and under which law?
Ensure candidate data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and complies with privacy frameworks like India's DPDP Act and the UK/EU GDPR with clear right-to-erasure controls.
“Run a two-week trial with one real job before you decide.”
Testing candidate intake, resume parsing, and scorecard feedback on an active opening reveals whether an ATS truly fits your team's workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Is applicant tracking software the same as an ATS?
Yes. ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System, and is often used interchangeably with applicant tracking software. Both refer to software that manages the recruitment lifecycle from job posting and resume parsing to interview scheduling, scorecards, and hiring offers.
Is there free applicant tracking software available?
Yes. OneATS provides a permanent Free plan that includes 2 active jobs, 1 recruiter seat, 100 applications per month, a branded careers page, and resume parsing with no credit card required.
Does an ATS reject CVs automatically?
Not by default in OneATS. Knockout screening answers flag unqualified applicants and sort them lower on your list, but automated rejections only trigger if you explicitly enable auto-reject per question with a custom time delay you control.
How does OneATS compare to traditional enterprise recruitment software?
Unlike legacy enterprise ATS platforms that charge high per-seat fees for every hiring manager and require months of setup, OneATS sets up in a single day, charges only for recruiter seats, and keeps interviewer and hiring manager access completely free.
