Editor’s Note

Selecting a new ATS can be a tedious and time-consuming process. There isn’t a one-sizefits-all approach to replacing an existing system. There are a few factors that come into play in the selection process. One among them is aligning a few of the key common personas throughout the process. You might face some roadblocks along each step.

Featured on the cover, this month, is Tyler Chimarusti's article, where he talks about The 4 People You Need To Get Buy-In From when Selecting An ATS. 
 

Of late, job seekers have increasingly griped about a lack of response from employers. In today’s economic climate, searching for work is exceedingly emotional and frustrating, especially for those who have been unemployed for months due to Covid-19. With high hopes for finding not necessarily the perfect job, but any job, candidates now desire communication from employers more than ever. 

By leaving job seekers in the dark, you create a poor candidate experience, which can negatively impact your employer brand. Check out Steve Flook's The Candidate Communication, Applicant Experience, And Employer Brand Connection so as not to end up with a sub-par employer brand, which could make your recruiting and retaining great talent more difficult. 

Moving on, there is How To Hire For Leadership by Kevin Sheridan and 6 Reasons Why Your Company Should Use An Applicant Tracking System by Lenmark Anthony Baltazar. 

Also featured in this edition is an exclusive interaction with Katy Conway, Chief People Officer, of RGP, where she touches upon her journey as an HR professional to an HR head, the challenges she faced, the learnings she gained and experiences that made her a better person and leader.

That is not all! Also, check out the other articles included in this edition. We hope this edition of Talent Acquisition Excellence will help you find excellence in your recruiting, hiring, and onboarding efforts.
