Applicant management refers to the process by which a company manages applications from potential candidates for open positions.
This process includes posting job advertisements, evaluating applications, communicating with applicants, organizing interviews, selecting suitable candidates and ultimately hiring new employees.
Effective applicant management helps to make the recruitment process more efficient, improve the quality of applicants, ensure a positive candidate experience and ultimately find qualified candidates for open positions.
This can be achieved through the use of applicant tracking systems (ATS), clear communication and a structured selection process.
