Recent news that ATS and CRM provider Employ bought fellow ATS provider Lever highlights the state of the applicant tracking system market: It’s crowded with overlapping solutions; providers are hunting for new clients in different-sized companies, and the sense hovers that more ATS mergers are coming.
“Lever joining Employ is something that we’ve been working on for a long time, and we feel like it rounds out our solution. For the time being, we will continue to focus on better serving our customers with the solutions we now have in place,” says Lamson.
For practitioners, Lagunas, who worked at ATS provider Beamery before joining GM, would prefer to see fewer ATS deals and more focus on solutions powered by artificial intelligence.
“I really want this market to cool off so that we can get real AI that comes into maturity,” he said. “I really want to figure out how this market gets better for practitioners.”
There will be seven sessions dedicated to talent acquisition and the needs of recruiting professionals at the 2022 HR Tech Conference that will take place Sept. 13-16 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Register here.
