Five of the best HRMS for recruitment features

Recruitment is one of the best HR processes to automate. Just having a system that prompts the often-convoluted series different steps in the hiring process – from applicant tracking to assessment to onboarding – can be a godsend to the busy hiring manager.

Here are five HRMS packages that offer solid recruitment functionality. We’ve deliberately avoiding the big vendor names such as Sage and Oracle, not because their software isn’t good (it is) but simply to offer a little variety – after all, this list is “five of the best” and not “the best five”…
