Why should a small business use an ATS?
Answer
Small teams feel hiring pain first: few people wear multiple hats, and every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent with customers or product. An ATS automates the repetitive parts -- collecting applications, routing them to the right reviewer, and tracking who needs a reply.
It also makes your company look professional. Candidates compare you to every other employer they applied to; a clear process and timely communication signal that you are organized -- even if you are hiring your fifth employee, not your five hundredth.
