Before ATS and HRIS integration, let’s look at what is what.
While HRIS is targeted towards current employees, ATS is meant for candidates who may become employees. So it might seem obvious that these two systems should exist independently from each other.
The right Applicant Tracking System or ATS can be unimaginably beneficial to your HR department. It eases the hiring process thereby saving your time and improving overall efficiency.
The term integration is used so many times in so many ways that sometimes it loses its original essence.
What is integration after all? It’s nothing but a solution for effective data syncing. It’s making sure that information is available wherever and whenever it’s required. HRIS integration means connecting and sharing data among different HR functions such as recruitment, payroll, and performance.
When you encounter the term Human Capital Management (HCM) you probably think it is just another offshoot of HR software but HCM has a gamut of advantages that makes it a must for your organization.
Your organization probably keeps paper files, uses multiple Excel sheets or a combination of both to manage various HR-related information. It can be time-consuming and difficult even for a small organization. As time progresses and your organization scales up, such a system would almost be unmanageable.
The most effective HR practices are the ones where the focus is on company-employee engagement and building a symbiotic relationship that is conducive to both.

In a ceaseless effort to drive efficiency and better employee management, organizations often pursue tasks that might just be spreading themselves too thin. This may impact the overall output quality and result in possible high costs.
Companies bear huge costs on buying or paying a subscription fee for Human Resource Management software. And it’s no surprise that most of these tools don’t live up to the expectations.
The current trend of the IT industry is based on the principle of automation. This isn’t just hype because the marvelous effects of automating various tasks are widely known by now. Planning out the budget effectively and reducing maintenance costs are some of the deemed automation outcomes.
