Ranging from problems in recruiting (“Treating Recruiting Problems In Healthcare”) the current state of the ATS market (“The (near) Future Applicant Tracking Systems”), a how-to guide to improve processes using a Value Chain (“How To Use A Value Chain”) to a treatise on ‘customizing’ an ATS to stay ahead of the curve (“Maximizing The Value Chain – the ROI of ASP”), our whitepaper series is a must-read for leaders in talent management positions.

“Maximizing The Value Chain The ROI of ASP” addresses ‘customizing’ an ATS through the application of the Value Chain construct.

The Takeaway: most ATSs are delivered as an ASP (internet-based) solution where one platform is shared by many companies. However, companies have different recruiting needs, and a one-size-fits-all approach limits the value delivered by hosted or ASP solutions. Using a Value Chain, a company can identify leverage points in their processes and add services to “customize” systems, improving productivity across the entire process.
