Here's what Talent Acquisition Teams are saying about Eploy...

  • ''One month since launching Islington Council's new Applicant Tracking System (ATS) with Eploy and we're already seeing massive improvements. Our average time to create a vacancy requisition has more than halved, and reference requests are returning within hours - not days.''

    Rob StonerSenior Lead Recruitment
  • “We selected a partner that we believed could help us to deliver our next steps in resourcing and have been working with Eploy to build our People Portal Resourcing offering for the Group. Eploy provided a robust sandbox testing environment that enabled us to evaluate and rigorously test everything before going live. The feedback from our hiring managers has been positive, as the Eploy platform is very intuitive and increases the visibility and ownership of their vacancies. The system implementation has embodied our value of ‘Making Things Happen’, and we absolutely ‘Take Pride’ in our recruitment achievements to date.''

    Kate PrimeGroup Resourcing Partner
  • “We had outgrown our ATS and selected Eploy as the best solution to improve our recruitment journey for candidates and the recruitment team. We worked with the Eploy implementation team to design the system for our differing requirements across locations. We wanted all our recruitment activities, vacancies, reporting and measurement in one place, which is now a reality using Eploy. We have a better candidate experience and a clear careers site reflective of our employer brand and consistency across the end-to-end recruitment process.”

    Luke Suhanksi-JohnGlobal Recruitment Partner
  • “We had to deliver a complete ATS and online onboarding rapidly and are proud of what we have achieved. We worked alongside Eploy to configure and adapt the solution as we required, providing the flexibility to grow as a business. We now have a greater reporting capability with data and metrics across the whole process, giving us everything we need to plan, measure, monitor and continually improve our recruiting.”

    Ashley MarshTalent Manager
  • “Since go-live with Eploy, we have really improved our recruitment capability, we have streamlined our hiring processes to become much more efficient. For example, the interview tool removes the need for back and forth e-mails arranging interviews and the import functionality takes candidate information right through to our HR system. With Eploy’s complete recruitment platform, there is less room for error and a clear compliance trail across every stage of the recruitment process. Hiring managers now have real-time data with the recruitment analytics available in Eploy to monitor the progress of their vacancies, and much more visibility of a candidate’s journey. Having a clear view of the recruitment bigger picture and the ability to dive into the detail in real-time is extremely powerful – no more spreadsheets or manual reporting!''

    Sarah HighamHR Services Team Manager
  • ‘'Putting the candidate first is a priority for us and we have achieved this through implementing Eploy’s ATS and recruitment CRM. It gives candidates a seamless experience at every stage when searching and applying for roles and finding out more about life@Wren. It mirrors the commitment to our people, giving them the best possible start in their career and nurturing them to success. Eploy’s cloud-based recruitment software has streamlined our recruitment process to give candidates a seamless online experience from initial search to joining the team.''

    Jonathan SimmonsRecruitment Manager
  • ''Candidate information is now all in one place and the instant reporting available provides autonomy to managers through simple and comprehensive dashboards. We now have the transparency and collaboration to work smarter.''

    Sally BradberyGroup Resourcing Manager
  • ''Previously we were held back by system's limitations and not having control over our own system. This is no longer the case. I would encourage anyone looking at ATS systems to seriously consider Eploy and at least have a demo. ''

    Simon ArnoldRecruitment Manager
  • “Eploy provides visual activity logs via a dashboard to enable our Recruitment Manager to monitor activity against agreed SLA’s, leading to an enhance candidate experience. The use of talent groups has enabled recruiters from across the PLC to share talent resulting in a more proactive and collaborative approach to candidate sourcing.''

    Emma WhitehouseHead of HR Business Partnering
  • “Having extended the use of Eploy across our Retail Directorate, with online on-boarding we are delivering on our goals to support our transition to more digital working, to run our operations and processes in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible and attracting high-quality talent.''

    Kate RussellHead of Recruitment
  • “Not only does the service that PETA offer benefit employers, but it also follows a rigorous process to vet candidates to place on to apprenticeship programmes to make sure candidates are the right fit, and avoiding drop off to ensure the qualification achievement remains high.”

    Beth BridgenRecruitment Manager
  • “When choosing Eploy, it was clear we weren’t ’just another customer’. It was evident that the whole team wanted to work with us from Sales to Implementation and post go-live support. Obscure questions we had were always answered rapidly.''

Eploy's Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is officially G‑Cloud certified and currently listed on G‑Cloud 14, the 14th iteration of the UK Government’s cloud procurement framework.

If you’re working within the public sector in the UK, such as NHS organisations, central government departments, local authorities, or educational institutions, you can procure Eploy ATS via the G‑Cloud 14 Digital Marketplace like many others have.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a powerful recruitment tool designed for in-house recruitment and talent acquisition teams. It helps you streamline the entire hiring process - from attracting top talent and managing candidates efficiently, to collaborating with hiring managers, onboarding new hires, and tracking performance metrics.

By automating manual tasks and centralising your recruitment efforts, an ATS not only enhances candidate engagement but also saves your organisation time, money, and resources. It reduces risk, improves consistency, and ultimately helps you build stronger, more effective teams.

Organisations of any size, from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large enterprise corporations can benefit from using an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), regardless of industry.

An ATS streamlines and automates recruitment processes, making it easier to attract, engage, hire, and onboard candidates efficiently. It also helps you manage relationships with candidates, hiring managers, and departments more effectively.

A best-of-breed ATS can support complex recruitment needs, including multiple brands within a business, varied recruitment workflows, and global hiring requirements, making it a scalable solution that grows with your organisation.

Not quite. While they’re both essential recruitment tools, an ATS and a CRM serve different purposes.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is used by in-house recruitment and talent acquisition teams to manage the end-to-end hiring process. It helps you attract candidates, streamline workflows, collaborate with hiring managers, onboard new hires, and measure recruitment performance.

Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) tools focus on building and nurturing talent pipelines. A CRM supports proactive recruitment by engaging candidates through job alerts, email, and SMS campaigns - enhancing your employer brand and keeping top talent interested.

Eploy combines the power of ATS, Recruitment CRM, onboarding, and analytics into a single web-based platform. Fully integrated with your careers site, it delivers a seamless and engaging experience for both candidates and hiring teams.

With so many Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) on the market, finding the right solution for your organisation can be challenging. The best ATS for your business will depend on your unique recruitment needs, goals, and processes.

Start by identifying your key requirements. Consider the challenges you face in your current recruitment process and create a clear list of features you need, such as candidate engagement tools, onboarding capabilities, analytics, and integration options. It's also important to evaluate the total cost of ownership, including implementation, training, support, and ongoing maintenance.

Scalability matters too. Choose an ATS that can grow with your organisation and adapt to evolving recruitment strategies. Integration with your existing HR tech stack, such as job boards, CRMs, and HRIS, should be seamless and cost-effective.

To compare top ATS platforms, review credible sources like G2, which feature real user reviews and ratings across features like usability, support, and ROI.
