ATS for Retail
Built for great recruitment teams like you
When it comes to hiring in retail, it is often highly competitive with an emphasis on speed of getting the best talent through your doors. This is where Applicant Tracking Systems for retail comes in to help.
With an ATS, retail recruitment teams can alleviate the long administrative tasks associated with recruitment, which typically eat into the productivity of managers’ daily to do lists. The time saved from an ATS is something we’ve extensively covered, but when we focus on the benefits of an ATS in the retail sector, what are the individual elements which can truly make recruitment/shop managers love recruitment?
Spend less time with frustrating admin tasks
Automation is a huge time saver in recruitment. With an ATS, you are able to remove the frustrating administrative tasks from your workload, as you can create intelligent triggers and automated sequences to take care of the ‘paperwork’ for you. Once you try it once, you won’t look back.
Need to request onboarding information from a candidate after a successful interview? No need for typing out emails. With a simple drag and drop, update a candidate’s funnel status, and the ATS can take care of any emails, SMS or any missing information requests.
Tired of chasing unresponsive candidates, or references? Create time-based triggers to automatically send out a chaser email to candidates or referees, giving you back lost time which was previously spent getting no results. Go one step further, and create a whole automated sequence, so you can request and receive references in just a click. Learn more here.
They are just some of the clever ways ATS automation can save you time in your recruitment.

Reduce candidate drop-offs
You may have never considered it, but many candidates are frustrated with recruiter’s communication and believe there is a lack of response from them – with a recent CV Library study finding that around ⅔ share this view. This frustration increases the likelihood of candidates abandoning your job vacancy, and turning their attention elsewhere, which is ultimately hurting your advertising ROI and/or wasting your time.
An ATS can help your retail recruitment team to improve their communication and reduce candidate drop-offs, by adding quicker and greater communication and updates via email/SMS – all done via automation. By doing so, candidates mimic you in being active in the recruitment process, leading to you helping ensure the top candidates make it all the way through to fill your vacancies.
You can also quickly see your productivity stats from our ATS dashboard, as we can highlight key metrics such as time to process candidates, time to hire and more – allowing you to focus on closing the gap on your time to hire – and avoid leaving candidates waiting.
Candidates are customers, so stop damaging your brand
Why damage your reputation? Either through the previously mentioned lack of communication, retaining your branding with consistent email & form templates, or the dreaded rejection email, providing a bad experience for candidates can be costly.
Typically, your candidates are going to be customers, as they resonate with your brand and want to work with you. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you are treating candidates like customers. With an ATS, you can be sure you’re managing the small details which can add up, because if ignored, will turn your fans into haters.
An ATS puts the tools in place for you to provide a quality candidate experience, and whether you hire them or not, you can be sure that candidates don’t feel ignored, frustrated, or turned away from your brand.
After all, for each bad interaction consumers have with a brand, they typically tell up to 15 people about the experience – and that counts for a bad recruitment process too.
You wouldn’t believe how not sending a simple (automated) rejection email can damage your brand.
