Overview

A dozen candidates apply for a job. Each is in different steps of the process. And each requires dedicated emails, messages, follow-ups—and a partridge in a pear tree. If this is starting to sound like one of those “one train leaves Boston going 75mph” math problems, you’d be right.

But whereas an algorithm can solve math problems, humans are a little more complicated. If you’re a hiring manager or HR professional looking for a simple, human-centric applicant tracker, start here.

Why our applicant tracker template?

This applicant tracking system is flexible, unlike standard recruitment software or other ATS solutions. You can track your entire hiring process—from job openings to job descriptions—in one table, and all interested job seekers, with relevant contact information, in another.

Let's say you're interested in running an internal recruitment program. All you need to do is set up a form for employees to submit recommendations, then link the results back to the Applicants table.

You could even use this template to manage the promotion of job openings across social media and job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Craigslist, etc.). With this template as a base, you can build an applicant tracking system to your unique specifications in no time!

Who is this applicant tracker for?

This applicant tracker is perfect for small-to-medium HR departments, people teams, hiring managers, head hunters, and all manner of talent-acquisition professionals. It’s specially designed to streamline the recruitment process and make the status of a candidate knowable at a glance. It’s at its best when the candidate pool is a bit on the smaller side.

And of course, if you’re looking for something a little more robust, check out our less streamlined version which can help you optimize and automate even the most complicated job postings.

Tips to get started with our grant tracker

With this applicant tracking system and its personalized views, every one can filter out information that’s irrelevant to them.

Use the calendar view to see upcoming interviews. Try a kanban view to see a status update of your candidate pipeline. You can even filter down to track candidates by hiring manager owner. Take this applicant tracking template for a spin, and you and your team can finally get back on the same page.

Now, all that’s left is to onboard those new hires.
