The Ability to Stay Transparent

One of my favorite daily activities is reading discussion boards about applicant tracking systems. At times, I like to offer my experience in specific situations where folks are seeking recommendations about an ATS. Many times I find there are several vendors clearly highlighting only their solutions. I feel they’re not being transparent enough for the good of the discussion and ultimately the good of the person requesting the advice. While I too am an ATS vendor, I try and take an approach that offers insightful questions to help them consider what their expectations might be. Many of the times I do offer my ATS as a recommendation, but I also offer ATSs which I think might align with their goals. I like to think of it as the Progressive Insurance approach. By providing folks with the topics to consider, they’re being empowered with a little bit more information to make their own informed decision.
