Yahoo! Launches New Applicant Tracking System

Filed Under Online Recruiting, Yahoo! (YHOO) | 5 Comments

Yahoo! recently launched a new applicant tracking system interface over the past few days. It has a much cleaner interface than the previous one. It also has a box titled concept search, where one could enter educational and leadership qualifications, technical and speaking skills, passions, competencies and blogs to get suggestions of potentially appropriate roles. Changes that were immediately apparent to me include shorter career position id numbers and a smaller set of categories that make it easier to navigate clusters of open positions needing to be filled by qualified applicants.

Below is a screen shot, I wish Yahoo! good luck with the new system!

      Yahoo would have been better off using an existing robust/well known Applicant Tracking System such as CATS (http://www.catsone.com/ ). CATS is free and open source and is already in use by tens of thousands of companies. Yahoo has already used open source products in its offerings so using CATS should have been a no-brainer.

      OpenCATS now replaces the (now closed-sourced) CATS site. Jump in and contribute at opencats.org

      I want to learn about the general coding of Applicant Tracking System for my final project. My project is similar to ATS. From where can I have some information.

      Hi Salih, certainly for OpenCATS, details to view the SVN repository are on the wiki; http://opencats.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
