Given the extreme use of awful ATS systems HR is a joke of a department.
I’ve had instances where recruiters for the company I work at are contacting me on LinkedIn about the role I not only applied to but also been working at for a few months.
I also wonder how these systems work.
What's ATS?
Applicant tracking system?
Applicant Tracking System. Manages your job adverts, parses resumes, keep track of who got through each phase of the process.
Taleo, Lever, Workday, Google Hire, etc.
I've gotten the same recruiter reach out to me twice after already starting at the company.
