Issue: The subject of Applicant Tracking comes up over and over. I have heard clients ask about it at user groups, on the list server, in RFP's, and in direct communication. In my opinion emPath has a very powerful applicant tracking feature which is integrated and works wonderfully when applicants are hired. Also, in my opinion there are best of bread Recruitment Management systems which offer features emPath does not. Recommendation: Consider leveraging the integration of emPath's applicant tracking feature with an interface to a best of bread recruitment management system such as PeopleClick. One client I work with saw significant benefit from just such an interface. Following are some details:
(1) They used PeopleClick's features to support Candidate Relationship Management.
(2) They used emPath's Applicant import feature to interface applicant information collected in PeopleClick.
(3) The applicant information is then available to use the powerful emPath integration features such as hiring applicants on the new hire page.
(4) Using emPath's mass import feature it is possible to import additional information about applicants such as eduction, licenses, and skills.
