Hi Ahmed, ensuring the have the right system for your organisation and it is used to its full potential, the wins could be endless. Here are a few key wins:

-Closer interaction with the candidate market

-Helps manage applicant, source and cost data effectively to help assess trends and amend your hiring strategy to suit nad get the best results.

-If recruitment agents are used, it helps give some insight to how they are performing against a number of metrics.

-It helps improve a candidate experience and in turn making the company very reputable and attractive to talent.

-Applicant tracking systems can be linked with email and other HR systems and can automate on boarding and employee engagement.

-They can improve employee referral programmes and encourage employee referrals.

(Employee referrals are the most effective source in terms of quality of hire as your current employees are unlikely to refer someone they don't trust or are prepared to put their reputation on.)

 

I could provide a few more but I hope this helps.
