Top Reasons to go for SAAS Based

ATS

SAAS or Software as a Service is a cloud-based software solution

is offered which works on a pay-as-you-go subscription model.
This means that the user has to pay only for the services used and
not for the entire thing.

Cloud computing is yet another trending technology space and is

still growing and developing over time. Almost all major
companies and organizations, whether giant, mid-sized or
startup- have moved their core business to cloud. This has
significantly doused the need for extra infrastructure and other
necessary equipment needed to install in-house software.

When all businesses are touched by this incredible technology,

then how can recruiting can be left behind.
The new generation applicant tracking systems are cloud-based
and are doing wonders.You must have read or must have
experienced the benefits of this next-generation recruiting
software. But how is a cloud-based or SAAS-based Applicant
tracking software creating a difference over the locally hosted
one?

If you are still using a locally hosted one or are still struggling to
download huge files to install the software, then this article will
make you reconsider your decision regarding the type of software
you want.

1. 24/7 Accessibility

When you have a locally installed ATS on your computer then you
can access it only when you are in your company’s premises. Be it
late at night or early morning, you have to rush to on-premises
software to make even the slightest of change.
But when you work on a cloud-based application, then you have a
24/7 access. You can access the database from any remote
location and can work at any time. No more rushing to the office.
You can edit or make a change right where you are sitting using a
laptop or any other mobile device having an internet connection.

2. Quick Deployment

The locally hosted ATS or the on-premise ones come with huge
and bulky files for which you need professional installation skills.
This is really a time consuming and costly affair.

On the contrary, cloud-based ATS is quick to deploy as they don’t

need heavy installation files or any specific system requirements.

The Interface of all the SAAS based ATS is designed in such a

manner that even a non-technical person can also understand
them. Now you don’t have to worry about licensing the product as
it was there is the legacy software.
3. Speedy Recruitment Process

In the legacy software, there were a number of stakeholders

involved in the entire recruitment cycle. Going through each of
them took time and often resulted in recruitment delays.

With cloud-based ATS, every stakeholder is connected and

notified in real-time i.e. instantly. This significantly reduces the
response time and offers a more streamlined workflow. So, by
pulling out all the stops across different recruitment stages, the
entire cycle is accelerated.

4. Always Updated

Upgrading or updating an on-premise software is like a big

headache. You need to call the support persons or the vendors to
update your system. This may take a couple of days. You don’t
have any choice even if your productivity is getting hampered. You
may lose out on major clients if an update gets due in a crucial
time. If you don’t update the applicant tracking system, then it
may turn obsolete and vulnerable to digital attacks.

Stay stress-free if you are using a SAAS based ATS, as the system
gets automatically updated. None of your work is hampered or
interrupted. All the updates and patches are scheduled in such a
manner that they are applied when there is no work going on the
system or when the system is idle. This ensures that your ATS is
having the best and latest features which will help you stand
staunch at the top of the game.

5. Cost-Effective

You need to buy a license for any on-premises software which is

generally very costly. Again, you have to renew your license after a
given period. This is a sheer wastage of money. There is no such
licensing thing in any cloud-based software. Also, you don’t have
to buy extra servers, storage space or other infrastructure to
support your installation. Also, with the legacy ATS you have to
keep a dedicated IT professional for the upkeep of the software.
No such thing is needed in case of cloud-based ATSs. So, you can
be assured of having great capital savings and better ROI.
