As you (hopefully) know, I'm very supportive of what you're doing here and don't want to sound like a Negative Nelly. As to the ATS, all it is is a relationship manager. Full-on ATSs allow people to claim ownership of candidates, track their progress for specific job postings (which are also entered in the ATS), easily attach candidate-related documents (resumes, background checks, etc.), automatically figure splits in commission (where appropriate), and make notes that all of the recruiters can see. As an independent recruiter, I don't need all of the "collaborative" piece anyway. I just need a place to put all of my candidate information where I can get to it quickly and easily, see what the last conversation with these people looked like, and set ticklers for follow-ups. I may not be able to get around my paranoid, former SE issues, but I'm still looking at JibberJobber as a possible ATS. Thanks again! Dan Thanks for taking time to address my concerns.
