Jonathan Kestenbaum of Talent Tech Labs provides great insight with his recent article delineating the seven reasons your ATS & CRM should be on the same platform. His seven reasons are as follows:
- Tech Stack Consolidation
- Integration of Data & Process
- Candidates are Customers and Need One Experience
- One Login for HR & One Interface
- One System of Record and Engagement
- One Source of Truth for Reporting
- Security
In essence, Kestenbaum notes that by unifying the vendor of your ATS & CRM, you can position your recruiting tech stack in the best position to both delight your internal user base as a TA Leader – recruitment teams & hiring managers – and your external user base – candidates. While some TA staff prefer to choose different providers of an ATS & CRM to ensure one might make up for the deficiencies of the other, by identifying a sole software provider of your ATS & CRM, the efficacy and efficiency of your hiring process have a much higher probability of increasing by providing a single source of data, security, and user experiences.
In short, it would seem that if TA leaders want to ensure their companies’ recruiting ROI is progressively improving, it is a wise decision to consider the increasing internal and external benefits of selecting your next ATS & CRM from the same recruiting technology company.
