What is HR recruitment software?

Most businesses outgrow spreadsheets and email chains faster than they expect. An applicant tracking system (sometimes called HR recruitment software or ATS HR software) gives you a proper process: one place to post jobs, review CVs, collaborate with hiring managers, and make offers. PeopleHR's online applicant tracking system is built directly into your HR platform, meaning recruitment and people management work together seamlessly.
