Candidate ATS v1: Application Tracking System Basics

This article applies to ATS v1s using the ATS v1 data model only.

Overview

Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud provides full transparency into the status of your candidates throughout the various steps of the recruitment process. The Application Tracking System (Bullhorn ATS) is aimed to help you be more productive so you can focus on placing the best candidates into the right positions.

The ATS v1 is a tool for tracking candidates within a job funnel, designed for speed, efficiency, and volume. The ATS v1 enables quick-action movements from one stage to another in a single workspace, from sourcing to placement.

This article explains how to use the ATS v1 component available from Candidate records to track the process for a single candidate through every job to which they have been applied.

A separate section focuses on the ATS v1 component available from Job records for tracking multiple candidates through a single Job cycle.
