    Hi everyone,

    We were new to recruitment software and didn’t know where to start! After looking around for quite a while, we went with Voyager (www.voyage.co.uk) as their products are written by recruiters. This was the best option for us and so far so good!

    After careful review I chose the iApplicants ATS system. Great for small-mid sized businesses and they have excellent customer service.
    iApplicants:
    •Provides Custom Web Pages “Sell the Company” to Applicants
    •Automates Posting to Online Job Boards
    •Tracks all Applicant Information
    •Allows Job Specific Screening Questions
    •Automates Hiring Assessments
    •Tracks the flow of the Application Process
    •Allows for Simple Email Blasting to Groups of Applicants
    •Tracks the Best Sources of Applicants & New Hires
    •Automates Compliance Reporting
    •Allows for Multiple Logins with Restricted Access

    The price was 50-60% lower than all competitors and I have had great success so far the year I have been using it.

    For a comprehensive list of products that you can search by desired functions, budget, etc visit http://www.capterra.com

    I also suggest that when shopping for a web-based solution, consider the COMPANY as well as the product. How long have they been in business? What kind of data security measures do they have? Uptime stats? Customer service?

    For the record, I am an ATS vendor. My advice to all buyers comes from Donato Diorio at Broadlook: “Make sure your CRM or ATS fits your process vs being forced into its process.”

    HR ProFile has developed a comprehensive, intuitive ATS solution (Galileo) that is easy-to-use and learn. HR ProFile has provided thorough background checks and pre-employment screening for over 20 years and those background checks can easily be ordered with a simple click of a mouse within the Galileo ATS. They have taken the time to address input and applicant communication scenarios where the applicant may not have convenient access to the Internet. Additionally, all pre-screening questions scoring is re-calculated to a convenient 0 to 100% scale and the answers are retrievable in the event that the applicant claims they weren’t hired for some discriminatory reason. Those answers can easily be compared to answers from other applicants who applied for the same job. Galileo is very customizable and reasonably priced for companies of all sizes.

    its a rapidly changing space. Over the last year, a few newcomers are making a lot of noise including http://www.aqayo.com (which does automated screening and social recruitment), and branchout (for facebook)

    It’s interesting that people still aren’t talking that much about how free ATSs are increasingly dominating the market. So I think http://www.ikrut.com should be on that list as it’s a leader in the free ATS field.

    in the site http://www.wisestep.com also there was  a applicant tracking system keep viewing thanku

    This is an interesting list with a wide range of tools.  It looks like a bunch of these only specialize in a portion of recruiter workflow.  Maybe I’m biased, but I’m surprised that Bullhorn isn’t on the list.  As the market leader with nearly 100,000 recruiters at 5000 companies using our software everyday, we find that when firms are evaluating new ATS software, 

    Bullhorn is almost always included in that process, because we’re designed for how recruiters work and can handle the interrupt driven nature of recruitment better than anyone.  Our customers also choose Bullhorn because we provide tools for the end to end recruiter workflow, including clients, jobs, sourcing, applicant tracking, placements and timecards, and not just a small part of what’s needed.
