An Applicant tracking software automates the entire process of recruitment and onboarding. The software is designed to screen candidates applying for a certain role or position. 

Using an applicant tracking system has many advantages; one of the main ones being that it allows employers to better examine the applicants for an open position by using intelligent algorithms to rank potential employees. 

This software also helps HR professionals and employers to cut down the long hours of going through paper applications. A good applicant tracking software actually pinpoints whether a potential employee will be a good culture fit for the organization.
