ATS? I have Excel and email..

This image made me chuckle.

I’m totally OK with the fact that the Recruiters I’m helping are often in this position. After all, they want to get better, faster and become more competitive.

But, if you’re a Recruiter calling me to see if I have any jobs, don’t be surprised if I dig a little deeper when you say you have no ATS/CRM/Quality control tools, and whilst ‘being old-school’ does carry weight with me, not on its own.

Surely Recruitment is hard enough right now without doing it manually?

10/10 for effort with the cold call though!
