Is HireBest an applicant tracking system (ATS)?

Not really. While you could use HireBest to track qualified applicants through the interview process, HireBest does not collect applications or connect to job boards the way traditional ATSs do.

That said, HireBest uses many of the same process tracking and collaboration mechanisms you'll find in most modern ATSs, and it can import jobs and candidates from your ATS. See Can I use HireBest with my ATS?

We like to think of ATSs as the muscle behind your hiring process: collecting lots of applicants and pushing as many as possible through to some sort of outcome, whether that means the candidate was filtered out or eventually hired. There are many great options out there, and we are not particularly interested in competing in that game.

HireBest, on the other hand, is the brain behind the process. Once a candidate has attracted enough attention as they move through the ATS, hiring managers, talent acquisition staff and hiring teams use HireBest to collect valuable data about the candidate, so they make the best hiring decision possible.
