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.

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.

By Joel Cheesman - CATS, an applicant tracking solution, hit the market in 2006. Although throwing its hat into an already-crowded ring, the company cut through the clutter with an open source model that was free and gave users the ability to take the code and tweak it how they wished. Since then, the company has gone to a traditional offering similar to those seen in services provided by organizations like Taleo and Kenexa. So how is the company going to stay competitive and grow with such stiff competition? We chatted up the gang at CATS to find out.
