This paper examine the role of Applicant Tracking Systems( ATS) in improving the reclamation efficiency by reducing mortal intervention. It analyzes the effect of the ATS on the speed, delivery, decision- timer and cost- effectiveness of hiring process. Structured questionnaires, interviews and conversations were used to collect data of 100 HR professionals. Conventional recruiting process is very time consuming and biased because of the high human intervention. ATS automates the hiring process, enhances efficiency, fairness and cost-effectiveness, yet there are still issues with integration, reduction of bias and balancing automation with human judgment. The results indicate that ATS is important in automating repetitive tasks. Human intervention (e.g., resume screening, interview scheduling) during the initial stages is being slowly removed by automation via ATS. The conclusion of the study is that although ATS may not be able to completely overtake human interference, it is a very essential instrument in modernizing recruitment. Such recommendations as system customization, adequate training and mix of automation and human participation to fulfill ATS implicit are recommended.
