I’ve written tons of stuff about the recruitment ATS before. It’s a nifty tool that allows recruiters to conduct their work well and, more importantly, create siginificant business impact on their entire hiring process. It’s widely used and loved by many!

I checked the reviews online and found more and more people using recruitment ATS. In fact, even 95% of the Fortune 500 companies use one!

There are a lot of recruitment ATS choices online, but there are a few that stand out among its users. In this article, I’ll talk about the top 5 fan favorites and dig a little bit deeper as to why they love them.

Let’s begin, shall we?

  1. Manatal
  • Capterra Rating: 4.7/5
  • Features in: Best Ease of Use Applicant Tracking Software (2021), Best Value Applicant Tracking Software (2021)

“Manatal is the next generation of recruitment software, built with the latest technologies and designed to streamline recruitment processes from sourcing to onboarding and beyond. Place faster and funnel your recruitment channels into one intuitive platform. Manage your current and future clients with our CRM feature. Leverage the social media enrichment and AI features, improve collaboration and access a full reporting suite. Transform the way you recruit with Manatal’s cloud-based hiring tool.”

Most of the reviews about Manatal focused on two things: ease of use and transparent pricing.

The software is very straightforward and easy to use. However, the simplicity of it all doesn’t compromise quality or useability. It offers an end-to-end hiring solution that can fully optimize and streamline your entire workflow seamlessly.

It even makes use of unique features using the latest technologies to transform the way recruiters do their operations and source candidates across multiple, premium channels such as LinkedIn. This includes social media enrichment, candidate recommendation AI engine, data compliance tools, recruitment CRM, free career page builder, open API, and more.

They’re very transparent about their pricing, too. Starting at a very affordable price of $15/month, users can see a massive difference in their recruiting methods through the game-changing software.

2. CEIPAL

  • Capterra Rating: 4.4 / 5

“CEIPAL is leading ATS for IT & Engineering staffing firms. You can Manage job requisitions & postings, leverage AI to determine the best potential candidates, and conduct interviews through integrated productivity apps.

CEIPAL TalentHire is only for IT and Engineering staffing firms, but there is much to learn from this recruiting software.

It allows recruiters to see better results faster through their AI-powered system. It makes everything easy so that maximum output can be achieved.

A lot of people are raving about their advanced search capabilities and database maintenance. It’s a high-quality feature of CEIPAL that allows recruiters to source candidates across multiple channels and filter them profoundly as needed — giving you a list of suitable candidates readily.

No wonder their search functionality is praised by many of its fans.

3. Bullhorn

  • Capterra Rating: 4.1 / 5
  • Featured in: Top 20 Onboarding Software (2020), Top 20 Applicant Tracking Software (2020)

“Bullhorn is the global leader in software for the staffing and recruiting industry. More than 10,000 staffing companies rely on Bullhorn’s cloud-based platform to drive sales, build relationships, and power their staffing processes from start to finish. Headquartered in Boston, with offices around the world, Bullhorn is founder-led and employs more than 950 people globally.”

Although many of the comments disclose their dissatisfaction with their UX/UI, Bullhorn still provides a neat cloud-based applicant tracking system that’s worth checking out.

It caters to all types of recruiters (staffing agency, corporate HRs, etc.) and helps smoothen their process effortlessly. They are equipped with a lot of tools from recruiting to payment & bill settlement, and reporting & engagement to vendor management system (VMS) integrations. This gives you a multi-faceted recruiting software that leads to overall company success.

Another thing that users love about Bullhorn is its big regards to candidate experience. Several users say that most of its tools are generally helpful in improving applicant satisfaction which perpetuates a higher chance of onboarding them.

4. SAP SuccessFactors

  • Capterra Rating: 3.9/5

“We’ve tailored the SuccessFactors HR software bundle specifically for the talent management needs of businesses or divisions with fewer than 500 employees. With SuccessFactors HCM, you can automate your people processes, improve visibility and efficiency, and transform your business turning strategy into execution every day. Since the software deploys in the cloud, it’s easy to set up and offers built-in best practices to manage the entire employee lifecycle.”

SAP SuccessFactors HR software, according to many users, can be complicated to use at first. However, once you get the hang of it, it’s definitely an asset that stays true to its name: success.

Personally, I haven’t ventured into this recruiting software fully, but I’ve read tons of reviews saying how helpful it was for their people management initiatives and efforts. From online training to team buildings, SAP SuccessFactors have been a great deal for their organization.

Its features comprise many things and can go through processes from sourcing down to onboarding. It even covers payrolls, employee experience management, and more to encapsulate all the things needed to help the company succeed.

It has tons of products that need heavy understanding, but you can go through their training section and services & support for assistance.

5. Oracle Taleo

“Oracle Taleo Cloud gets your core talent management processes up and running fast and puts you in a position to grow your solutions as your talent management needs evolve.

Oracle Taleo was a part of the Top 20 Talent Management Software back in 2019, and it’s clear how they made it on top. With its compelling features and outstanding services, Oracle Taleo is still worth checking out this year.

It’s a great tool for organizing your recruitment efforts on a singular platform. A lot of its fans have adored its versatile functionalities. You even have full control over information on profiles to filter out the cream on top and get the best candidates as much as possible.

Amazingly, its intuitive interface lets you manage, track, and engage with relevant people that improves overall performance in the workplace. One reviewer even made a beautiful statement referring to Oracle as an “amazing full-lifecycle recruiting software”.
