Hireology vs. Low-Cost or Free Applicant Tracking Systems

quality talent faster in today’s tough market with:

The costs of moving to low-cost or free ATS in the name of all-in-one

Low volume of quality candidates

Most low-cost, payroll-provided ATS add ons offer little to support sourcing top talent on diverse channels or vet and verify applicants to identify top candidates.

Slow hiring speed

Most free or low-cost ATSes require talent to create a login just to apply — a practice that leads to 52% of job seekers quitting applications — making it harder to attract the applicants you need to fill roles fast.

What our customers have to say

 “It’s not really free when you consider the time added to your hiring process and the impact on the quality of hire we are able to make. An ATS that is free or very low cost typically does not offer enough value to justify charging for.”

— Hireology customer considering using a free payroll-provided ATS

“Getting a large volume of low quality applicants without any tooling or automation to screen them out wastes the time of the hiring team.”
