Ascendify CRM + ATS At A Glance
Product Overview
Ascendify is a smart talent acquisition platform that helps mid-size and enterprise companies manage their sourcing, engagement, recruiting and selection in one place. It has predictive intelligence and machine learning functionality which makes things more efficient and effective for recruiters to manage their recruiting efforts. Ascendify combines candidate relationship management (CRM) with a full applicant tracking system (ATS), career websites, SMS and email campaigns, employee referrals and a rich ad-hoc analytics engine. In-house sourcers and recruiters for large and enterprise-sized companies are able to access a robust system to identify top-tier talent and nurture ongoing relationships with candidates in their own databases and with an AI-powered external talent search, recruiters have direct access to a wider range of candidates on a much more personal level and rely less on job board ads.
When clients use their own career site as a hub for applicants, Ascendify helps increase the quality and quantity of candidates who engage with the brand and reduce the cost of hiring.
Features
Ascendify’s platform focuses on these five tasks:
1. Attract Talent: Ascendify delivers on today’s need to attract talent through their own branding and outreach efforts. With an emphasis on building a talent community, Ascendify helps hiring teams access top talent with talent matching to over 500 million people, attracting both passive and active candidates. Current employees can refer others in their network. Candidates can easily submit an application from a mobile device without needing to first create an account.

3. Identify Candidates: When a position opens, the built-in CRM tool helps companies stay in touch with any and all candidates so talent doesn’t slip through the cracks.
