How Are FrontRunners Products Selected?
To be considered at all, products must have at least 20 reviews published within the previous 18 months and meet minimum user rating scores.
They also have to offer a core set of functionality—for example, Applicant Tracking Systems must offer applicant tracking, applicant workflow management and have a strong focus on applicant tracking capabilities (i.e., applicant tracking can’t be a tangential part of their offering).
Words from Tim Sackett about ATS:
Here is what Tim Sackett, one of the most respected recruitment experts in the world had to say when he was asked who should be using an applicant tracking system:
“We moved into this space in our history where recruiting technology has never been so affordable, meaning organizations no longer have an excuse not to have it. Great tech is so cheap now that if you don’t have it, you’re making a personal choice to stay in the dark ages of recruiting!
For SMBs this has never been more real. SMBs can now have even better-recruiting technology than their enterprise peers. While enterprise folks get big, vanilla based recruiting technology, SMB shops can move faster to integrate the latest and greatest tech on the market. It’s such an exciting time to be in talent acquisition, the availability of world-class technology is transforming how we all recruit on a daily basis.”
