Hire · Talent pool
Talent pool software that turns past applicants into future hires
Keep every good candidate, not just this month's applicants. OneATS stores profiles independently of any job, so you can search CVs, filter by CTC and notice period, and move the right person into a new opening in one click.
Search CVs, not just names
Search full resume text with AND, OR and NOT Boolean operators.
Filters recruiters use
Filter by experience, current CTC, notice period, location, pool status and last activity.
Re-hire faster
Past finalists and silver medalists are surfaced when similar jobs open.
Candidate database
A candidate database independent of open jobs
Store candidate profiles permanently in your centralized talent repository. Add talent via bulk upload, direct creation, email forwarding, or automatically when applicants complete previous hiring pipelines.
- Unified repository for active and passive candidates
- Add profiles directly without attaching to an open job
- Preserve past interview history, notes, and scorecards
Resume search
Boolean search across every resume
Find specialized skill combinations instantly. Full-text Boolean indexing searches inside uploaded CVs (PDF, DOCX) as well as candidate profiles, supporting exact matches, AND, OR, NOT operators, and parenthetical grouping.
- Search full parsed CV text, not just profile summaries
- Standard Boolean syntax (e.g., 'React' AND ('Node' OR 'Python'))
- Save frequent search queries for one-click access
Silver medalists
Silver medalists come back first
Do not let qualified runner-ups slip away. OneATS tags strong candidates who reached final interview rounds, notifying recruiters to reconsider them the moment a matching role opens.
- Tag promising finalists as silver medalists
- Quickly rediscovering vetted talent avoids re-advertising costs
- Fast-track a past candidate into a new job in one click

- On-the-fly candidate ranking against live job profiles
- Identify qualified internal and passive talent immediately

Frequently asked questions
How do candidates get added to the talent pool?
Candidates enter the pool automatically when applying through your careers page (if talent pool consent is given), by bulk uploading resumes, via email intake, or through manual profile creation.
Can I search within full resume text?
Yes. OneATS indexes parsed CV content, enabling full-text Boolean search across PDF and Word resumes using AND, OR, and NOT operators.
Can I run re-engagement email outreach to pool candidates?
Yes. Recruiters can initiate email outreach campaigns to invite past candidates to apply for newly opened positions.
