Trying to find the right solution for a company’s applicant tracking problems can be difficult, particularly so for a small to mid-sized business. These workplaces suffer something that larger corporations usually don’t have to contend with, limited funds, which means that the focus must be placed on getting the best program for the least amount of money.

NowHire.com believes that it’s recently released nowHire Elite Business Edition can provide quality applicant tracking solutions about a price that is affordable to smaller companies. According to a recent press release, the software program is geared towards offering both small and mid-sized offices the same hiring management advantages enjoyed by their larger clients.

This new edition is web-based and focuses on making it easier to automate the recruiting process, which for many smaller businesses can easily become overwhelming. For its larger corporate clients nowHire created a automated system that follows applicants through the employment process, from start to finish, and also monitors the continual professional development of current and new employees. The company believes that this program, which is a “talent management system”, is too much for the needs of smaller businesses.

“We’re increasingly talking to companies that know they need to automate their recruiting and hiring, but just don’t need to invest the time and budget to bring on a full-featured, enterprise ATS,” Joseph Impastato, nowHire.com’s founder and chief executive office, says. “Still, they want to be sure the basic system can be scaled to their talent management needs as they grown.”

One of the better features of the Elite Business Edition is the fact that it allows companies to offer what they call an “Extreme Support Philosphy”. NowHire provides toll-free phone and email support to job applicants in hopes of showcasing employer responsiveness. The goal is to help the candidate feel more assured that their application has been received and is important to the company they have applied to. NowHire believes that this customer-service feature will impress job applicants by giving them the feeling that they are applying for a job with a company that has a “culture of communications” and values the time of potential employees.

Other features of this ATS system include applications geared toward allowing users to easily manage job requisitions, candidate’s, interviews and background checks. The Elite Business Edition also helps out in the pre-screening and ranking of candidates and scheduling interviews.
