When recruiters face animosity from candidates and hiring managers at the same time, it may seem impossible to please anyone. But it doesn't have to be this way. In fact, recruiters can please everyone. They can deliver great candidate experiences and great hiring manager experiences at the same time. All it takes is the right ATS.
To be successful, a recruiter needs to create win-win situations for both hiring managers and candidates. An applicant tracking system can be an invaluable asset in this effort, one that helps recruiters deliver great candidate and hiring manager experiences efficiently and effectively.

But great hiring manager experiences are just as important as great candidate experiences: research shows that strong relationships between hiring managers and recruiters are a top driver of recruiting success.
When it comes down to it, hiring managers want two things from the recruiting process: they want it to be smooth and painless, and they want to end up with great hires.
