In staffing, everyone wants to have a quick, efficient, and cost-effective recruiting process. One way staffing companies can make this happen is by incorporating talent pipelines into their recruiting strategy. A talent pipeline is simply a list of top candidates you have already qualified and vetted. These candidates may be people who landed up taking another job or even candidates that have worked for you in the past that you want to keep at the top of your mind.

The million-dollar question that staffing agencies ask themselves is which Applicant Tracking System (ATS) should we use? An ATS plays a vital role in your staffing operations, not only to run your business efficiently, but it can also play a role in the way you serve your candidates and clients.

However, when staffing software is equipped with back office features that lower the cost associated with AR/AP, payroll, and other financial duties, it’s worth comparing the advantage.
