Why Ants - Applicant Tracking System?
Job boards, portals, websites and social groups and the Internet at large have created an enormous opportunity for employers to reach millions of potential candidates with just a few keystrokes.
Unfortunately, the sheer amount of data made available from all of these sources can be daunting and confusing at best. Although you may receive hundreds of resumes in single day, which may appear on the surface to be positive, it can lead to chaos as you try to make sense of all of this data. Unorganized and disconnected information can quickly become burdensome or useless. It often leads to a great deal of manual work while reading and sorting emails and trying to assemble that "perfect" spreadsheet to get you closer to the goal. As the resumes keep coming in, the spreadsheet gets larger and more complicated and you wonder if there might be a better way as you question your seemingly unproductive efforts and high investment in time.

Fortunately there is a technological solution to this problem with the recent introduction of quality applicant tracking systems, such as Ants. These applications allow you to manage large pools of applicant information with ease.
Designed as a HR centric applicant tracking system, Ants allows you to receive all your resumes - from your Corporate website, direct or groups into a centrally located online database with 24/7 availability. While providing role based credentialed access to different divisions, business units and departments within your organization, your HR Managers can easily administrate their own jobs/resumes relevant to their own specific part of the enterprise efficiently.
Ants allows you to search thousands of resumes quickly with extended search capabilities targeting both demographic and qualitative data such as location, specialization, primary skills, experience and other pre-defined and custom criteria.

With Ants, you don’t need to send any more manually created emails to candidates, recruiters, interviewers or hiring mangers. Ants does this automatically. As you engage in the process steps in the system for any Requisition, Job or Candidate, Ants automatically informs the right person at the right time sending notifications and calendar based appointment emails.
Ants pays attention to the detail AND the "Big Picture". The system provides a quick snap shot to management about the health and execution of the recruiting process through both dashboard and strong reporting availability. This allows a Manager or Administrator to quickly determine:
