Was ist Applicant Tracking System (ATS)? | HR Glossar | BambooHR
Software that manages job applications from advertisement through to hire, centralising the recruitment pipeline.
An applicant tracking system is recruitment software that organises vacancies, applications and candidate communication in one place. It captures CVs, moves applicants through defined stages and gives hiring teams a shared, auditable view of progress.
The benefits are speed and consistency. Automated acknowledgements, structured scorecards and collaborative feedback shorten time-to-hire and reduce the risk of good candidates slipping through the cracks.
An ATS also supports fairer hiring: standardised questions and records help demonstrate that decisions were made on merit, which matters for both quality and compliance.
