Definition
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a software application that enables the electronic handling of recruitment and hiring needs. An ATS can post jobs to job boards, screen applicant resumes, and track candidate progress throughout the hiring process.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
The job application tool’s effectiveness is dependent on its compatibility with popular ATS platforms like Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, which are widely used in the hiring industry.

Contradictions or debates
