When Does an ATS Become Overkill?
Quick question for my fellow HR folks: do you ever feel like some applicant tracking systems are too complex for the job? I was reading a piece on theconsultnow.com about matching the tool to your hiring volume, and it made me wonder if a well-organized spreadsheet can sometimes trump a pricey platform. Don't get me wrong—I'm a fan of tools like Greenhouse and Workable when you're juggling hundreds of resumes. But when you're hiring a handful of roles a year, has anyone found lightweight ATS options that feel less like overkill? I'd love to swap stories or suggestions!
