The project requested by our customer was a cloud based applicant tracking system that handles all recruiting processes in one place. The project’s purpose was to hire the best people faster using assessments in different expertise areas, store unlimited profiles and documents, use collaborative applicant tracking and provide an exceptional applicant experience.
