Frontline hiring software that moves as fast as your candidates
Frontline candidates apply from their phones and take the first good offer. OneATS lets them apply in a minute, book their own interview, confirm it on WhatsApp and sign the offer on the same phone, while your team sees who has waited too long.
Sound familiar?
What gets in the way
Candidates only have a phone
Long forms and email-only updates lose people who never sit at a laptop.
Good people are gone in days
If no one calls back quickly, candidates join the store next door.
No-shows waste manager time
Interviews get booked, then nobody turns up without reminders.
How OneATS helps
Built for frontline hiring
Mobile apply
A one-minute application on any phone
Use the Quick apply form: contact details and a resume, nothing else. Add knockout questions such as 'Can you work weekends?' and see the answers on every application. Managing corporate recruitment at scale instead? See our high-volume hiring workflows.
- Quick apply or detailed forms per job
- Screening and knockout questions
- Works on any mobile phone browser with no app download
Reach & Referrals
Share jobs where frontline candidates are
Share each job on WhatsApp with a pre-written message and a tracked link, and give staff their own referral links. Referral bonuses become due after the new hire joins.
- WhatsApp sharing with tracked links
- Employee referral links and bonus tracking
- Source report shows which channel brings hires
Interviews
Interviews candidates book and confirm themselves
Send a self-scheduling link. Candidates who opted in get the invitation and reminders on WhatsApp and can confirm or ask to reschedule in one tap.
- Self-scheduling links for mobile browsers
- WhatsApp reminders 24 h, 2 h and 1 h before
- One-tap interview confirmation or reschedule request
Speed & Limits
See who has waited too long
Set a time limit for each stage. Cards show days in stage, columns show their overdue count, and a morning email lists the candidates stuck with each person. Rejections can wait 24 hours with an Undo.
- Stage time limits and overdue filter
- Morning digest email of stuck candidates
- Delayed rejection emails with 24-hour Undo
Onboarding

- Typed or drawn mobile e-signatures
- Mobile document upload with Aadhaar masking
- WhatsApp reminders for missing documents
- Payroll handover by signed webhook or CSV

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do candidates need to download an app?
No. Candidates apply, pick interview slots, and sign offers directly in their mobile browser without creating an account or downloading an app.
Can we hire for many stores or sites?
Yes. Each job role specifies its own location, department, and hiring panel, and recruitment analytics can be filtered by job role and channel.
Can candidates get updates on WhatsApp?
Yes, when you connect WhatsApp Business and the candidate opts in on application. Quiet hours prevent any automated messages between 9 pm and 8 am.
How is frontline hiring different from high-volume hiring?
High-volume hiring is about handling hundreds of CVs for one corporate opening. Frontline hiring is about fast turnaround for hourly and field staff across multiple locations, where mobile quick apply and WhatsApp reminders matter most. Learn more in our high-volume hiring guide.
