Some of the people on our team come directly from end-users like our clients, while our two founding partners come from the vendor side. All that is to say that we not only know how these systems work, but we have decades of experience in understanding how to make them work for their users. In working with our clients over the years, we’ve noticed one major trend: organizations with resources dedicated to their ATS are more effectively able to navigate the ever-evolving talent acquisition landscape.
