ats – we’re going about it all wrong
By William Tincup - You know that Apple commercial from the 80’s where the lady (who was strangely buff and hot at the same time) runs up an aisle in a tank top and chunks a sledgehammer at a massive TV screen? Yeah, this is kinda gonna be like that ... I propose that the current ATS model is broken. I propose that a central repository of data made up from collected resumes is a poor way to comb through and assess talent. I propose that once many of you reading this stop sticking your William Tincup voodoo dolls with pins, you’ll see my point. Allow me to elaborate.

Friday, May 8, 2009
By Vanessa Dennis - It goes without saying that these are formidable times for the talent industry. As companies prune more low-hanging fruit from their recruiting budgets, job boards, recruitment ad agencies, talent software companies, and search firms have been forced to cut jobs, close offices, reduce marketing spend, and rethink the way they do business. It seems we hold our breath as each quarter passes during this interminable recession.

Let's take a look at who has taken the heaviest of the beatings and who has enjoyed success despite the economic meltdown.

Tuesday, January 6, 2009
By Vanessa Dennis -The Resumator is a newly-launched applicant tracking system specifically designed for small businesses. Founder Don Charlton sat down with Cheezhead to talk about product features, why this one might be different, and the funding they've accrued since the company's inception. He said, "In addition to helping you find great candidates, The Resumator very well may be the first ATS that also helps you find great job boards. As soon as you create a new job, our built-in job board recommendation engine analyzes the job details and immediately recommends local, niche, free and big job boards for advertising your job. And as activity (applicants, job forwards, etc.) come in from those boards, we aggregate the quantitative and qualitative data and make it available to everyone, allowing the best job boards to float to the top."

Monday, November 17, 2008
By Vanessa Dennis - I sat down with fomer Yahoo HotJobs head honcho and current Jobvite CEO Dan Finnigan to talk about how companies can reduce their recruiting spend while still maintaining skilled recruiters and a pipeline of qualified candidates. "People's natural instinct [during tough times] is to retreat," Finnigan said. "I think that's the biggest mistake a company can make right now. Now is the time for companies to invest in their products and the time for people to invest in their careers, so that when we do come out of this you increase the value of yourself."
