The Applicant Tracking System Landscape

The Applicant Tracking Systems Landscape

The applicant tracking landscape of companies is fast evolving. There are different applicant tracking systems catering to companies of different sizes and different industries. From lightweight ATSs such as Google Hire, Greenhouse all the way to the heavy lifters like Taleo, Workday or industry specific ones such as Brassring there is an ATS for every company.

As a result, this space is extremely fragmented. While buyers have many choices, as an applicant tracking system you can capture limited market unless you are able to serve a wide variety of use cases. So if you are selling another applicant tracking system it is important to understand how best to position yourself in lieu of competition. Also you may be interested in looking up contract renewal dates of your prospects, so you can time your outreach better.

If you are selling a technology that integrates with ATSs, it is important to understand which ATS being used by your prospects before you reach out. Also perhaps you can time your reachouts better by talking to them right when then move to an ATS.

Also, if you offer staffing, recruitment consulting or integration services it is still important to understand what ATS companies use, so you are able to stand out from competition and come across as someone who has researched his/her target market well.
