Recruiting software that turns candidates into employees automatically

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is software that manages the hiring process from job posting through offer acceptance. It typically handles job distribution, resume collection, candidate screening, interview scheduling, and offer management. Most ATS platforms operate as standalone tools that require a separate HRIS for employee records and a separate payroll system for compensation. Workzoom's recruiting module provides full ATS functionality built into the same platform as HR, onboarding, and payroll, so candidate data becomes permanent employee data without re-entry.

A resume parser automatically reads uploaded resumes and extracts structured data including contact information, work history, skills, education, and certifications. Instead of recruiters manually reviewing every application, the parser creates searchable candidate profiles that can be filtered and compared against job requirements. Workzoom's built-in resume parser extracts this data into the same system where you screen, interview, and hire, so there is no export step between parsing and decision-making.

Yes. Workzoom distributes job postings to over 25,000 job boards including LinkedIn and Indeed through its Job Target integration. You create the posting once, select your target boards, and publish with one click. Every application from every board lands in the same candidate pipeline regardless of source, and built-in reports show which boards are generating the most qualified applicants so you can optimize spend over time.

In Workzoom, the connection is automatic. When a candidate accepts an offer, their profile transitions directly into onboarding. Personal details, documents, and background check status carry forward without anyone re-entering data. Onboarding checklists activate based on role and department, and the new hire completes tax forms, banking details, and compliance documents through self-service before their first day. Everything flows into the permanent employee record and reaches payroll in time for the first pay run.

A standalone ATS like Greenhouse, Lever, or JazzHR handles recruitment only. Once someone is hired, their data needs to be manually transferred into a separate HRIS for employee records and again into payroll for compensation. An HRIS with built-in recruiting like Workzoom manages the entire journey in one system. Candidate data becomes onboarding data, onboarding data becomes HR records, and HR records feed payroll. The practical difference is zero duplicate data entry, one vendor instead of three, and reporting that follows a hire from first application through retention and performance.

Workzoom's recruiting module can be configured and live within 2 to 4 weeks as part of a broader HR suite implementation. Setup includes building your career page, configuring requisition approval workflows, setting up screening criteria, and connecting job board distribution. Because recruiting shares the same platform as onboarding and HR records, there is no integration work required. Your implementation coach handles the configuration alongside your team.

Yes. Hiring managers access candidates directly in the same platform they use for everything else, including approvals, team data, and scheduling. They can review parsed resume data, compare applicants side by side on skills and competency match, leave notes, and advance or decline candidates. There is no separate login or separate tool. Workzoom supports ranking methods including first pick, preferred, and shortlisted so hiring teams can align on decisions before extending an offer.
