What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)?

An ATS is software that runs the hiring pipeline (job posting, resume parsing, candidate stages, interview scheduling, scorecards, and offer letters) in one place. Indian HRM ATS is built for Indian recruiting practices and bundles with onboarding so a hired candidate becomes an employee record without re-entering data.

Which job boards does the ATS integrate with?

Post once on Indian HRM and distribute to Naukri.com, LinkedIn, Indeed, Apna, Hirect, and your own careers page. Applications flow back into a single inbox. WhatsApp Business inbound is also supported for high-volume blue-collar hiring.

Does it parse and score resumes?

Yes. PDF, DOCX, and image-based resumes are parsed for name, contact, experience, education, skills, and certifications. AI scores each resume against the JD on a 0-100 scale so recruiters skim the top of the pile first.

How does interview scheduling work?

Pick interviewer slots from their calendars, send the candidate a confirmation with a meet link, and collect structured scorecards immediately after. Reminders go 24 hours and 1 hour before. Scorecards replace the "everyone interviews, no one writes down what they thought" pattern.

Can we send offer letters from the ATS?

Yes. Offer letters render from your template with auto-computed CTC breakup (Basic, HRA, Special Allowance, PF, Gratuity). Send for e-signature and track open, sign, and decline status. Once signed, the candidate becomes an employee record.

How does the ATS hand off to onboarding and payroll?

When a candidate accepts the offer, the ATS marks them as joining and triggers onboarding: KYC collection, document upload, PF/UAN setup, asset assignment, and policy acknowledgement. On day one they appear in attendance, leave, and payroll without any handoff CSV.

Applicant Tracking System (ATS) for India

Indian HRM is an applicant tracking system built for how India hires. Every applicant, from whichever board they came through, lands in one record with a stage, an owner, and a history. Instead of a recruiter juggling a Naukri inbox, a LinkedIn tab, three WhatsApp threads, and a shared spreadsheet, the ATS keeps one source of truth for where each candidate stands, then hands the hire straight to onboarding and payroll. Foundation starts at ₹25 per employee per month at 1,000+ employees, ₹29 from 500, and ₹39 under 500, billed annually. Free 3-month trial, no credit card.

What an ATS Actually Does in India

Most non-engineering roles still come off Naukri. Senior IT and consulting hires come off LinkedIn. Blue-collar and high-volume roles increasingly start on WhatsApp. Offer letters are not one number but a CTC breakup with Basic, HRA, special allowance, PF, and gratuity. Background verification is tracked on the candidate record, with government-database document KYC (PAN, Aadhaar) built in. A generic ATS built for the US market misses this and pushes the work back onto the recruiter. Indian HRM is opinionated about Indian recruiting because that is where the time goes.

Source from Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed, and WhatsApp

Drop a script tag on your website and the careers widget renders open roles. Indeed crawls our XML feed automatically. One-click share buttons hand off direct Naukri applicant sync and shareable apply links for LinkedIn and WhatsApp. Applicants land in one pipeline. Every applicant carries the source tag with them, so by week three you can see which channel actually pays off for each role. Duplicate detection runs on phone number, so the same person applying via two boards stays one record.

AI Resume Scoring and a Configurable Pipeline

PDF, DOCX, and image resumes are parsed for name, contact, experience, education, skills, and certifications. Each resume is scored against the job description on a 0 to 100 scale, so recruiters read the strongest profiles first. A parsed profile takes about 30 seconds to review against a spec, versus four to five minutes on a fresh PDF. Each role gets a kanban board with the stages your team actually uses, and a stage can require a filled scorecard before anyone advances.

Interview Scorecards, Offer Letters, and BGV

Calendar invites go out with the meeting link attached. Each interviewer fills a structured scorecard covering technical depth, communication, culture fit, and role readiness, and the next round sees it before they start. Offer letters render from your template with an auto-computed CTC breakup, sent for e-signature with the right approval chain. Background verification is tracked straight from the candidate record, with govt-database document KYC (PAN, Aadhaar) built in and your BGV vendor's results logged against the candidate as it progresses.

One Handoff from Hire to Payroll

In most setups a hired candidate gets re-typed into a separate HR system as a fresh employee record. Because Indian HRM is the ATS and the HRMS in one product, the accepted candidate flows straight into onboarding, attendance, leave, and payroll with nothing re-entered. KYC collection, document upload, PF and UAN setup, asset assignment, and policy acknowledgement all kick off the moment the offer is accepted. That single handoff is the difference between a tool that saves the recruiter time and one that saves the whole HR function time.

ATS Tools in India, Compared

A standalone ATS like Zoho Recruit handles hiring well but stops at the offer. An HR suite like Keka carries the hire into payroll but the recruiting side can feel thin. A job-board tool like Naukri RMS is strong on sourcing from one portal and light on everything after. Indian HRM covers Naukri, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp sourcing, AI resume scoring, scorecards, offer letters with CTC breakup, BGV vendor sync, and onboarding plus payroll in the same product, from ₹25 per employee per month at 1,000+ employees, ₹29 from 500, and ₹39 under 500, billed annually. Capabilities vary by plan, so confirm current details on each vendor's own site before you buy.
