“???? ???????? ?????????????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ???????????? ???? ?????? ????…” If I had a nickel for every time I said that while implementing an ATS, I might be on a beach right now instead of writing this post lol.

?? An Optimized ATS (Applicant Tracking System) Changes Everything! Having stood up countless people & talent acquisition teams, I know how crucial it is to have an optimized ATS. When it’s set up right, it does more than track applicants, it transforms your organization's ability to attract, hire, onboard, and even retain Talent. For hiring teams, that means: ? Faster workflows that eliminate bottlenecks ? Smarter data and reporting to drive better decisions. For candidates, that means: ? A smoother, more transparent experience ? Timely communication instead of being left in the dark That’s why I’m thrilled to announce on behalf of TalentLink that I am now a certified Ashby Expert. TalentLink officially provides expert implementation, migration, configuration, and support services to help hiring teams get the most out of Ashby. ?If you're in the market for a new ATS, reach out! ?If you need an extra hand due to tight timelines, we've got you. ?If your ATS isn’t configured to your business, let’s fix that. Reach out, and let’s enhance your Ashby experience. HUGE shoutout to the one and only Kat Fergerson for the partnership; she is a rockstar and allows me to complain about how boring life is without football, lol.
