Where recruiting operations break down
The problem usually isn't just one system.
Your ATS, HRIS, sourcing tools, career sites, and recruiting workflows all need to work together. When they don't, your team ends up managing the gaps.
- Disconnected systems
- Manual workarounds
- Unreliable reporting
- Missing functionality
We identify what's getting in the way, then design and deliver the solutions to fix it.

Why ATA
Independent advice. Hands-on execution.
Transparent technology selection
Your business needs come first. Our RFP process uses structured evaluation criteria, and any vendor commission ATA receives is credited toward your RFP fee, up to the fee amount.
Custom solutions
When standard software doesn't solve the problem, we can design and build what is missing — including middleware, integrations, automations, and recruiting experiences.
Continuity from design to handoff
One partner from initial strategy through implementation, documentation, team enablement, and optional ongoing support.
Meet Andy
Meet Andy. Your recruiting operation's extra set of eyes.
Andy is ATA's proprietary automated auditing service. It continuously reviews the public hiring experience to surface compliance risks, candidate experience issues, and job posting performance problems — without requiring access to your ATS or applicant data.
Examples of Andy's Finds
Illustrative example- Posting performanceFound 10:14 a.m.
What Andy found
Posting length may cause reading fatigue
Why it matters: Candidates may stop reading before reaching pay, location, or application details.
Recommended next step: Tighten the opening and move essential details higher.
- Compliance riskFound 6 hours ago
What Andy found
Pay range missing on 3 Connecticut postings
Why it matters: A Connecticut pay transparency update may apply to these roles.
Recommended next step: Review the cited rule and add the required range where applicable.
- Compliance riskFound yesterday
What Andy found
Posting uses the phrase "competitive compensation"
Why it matters: Vague pay language can lower trust and may not meet disclosure rules in some locations.
Recommended next step: Replace it with the approved pay range and compensation details.
- Posting performanceFound 5 hours ago
What Andy found
Job title may be hard for candidates to find
Why it matters: Long or combined titles can reduce search visibility and attract poorly matched applicants.
Recommended next step: Use one recognizable role title and move qualifiers into the description.
Andy gives your team a clear issue, supporting evidence, and a suggested next owner, not a long report to sort through.
Automated auditing. Human expertise when you need it.
Andy keeps automated watch over your public hiring experience and flags what needs attention. When a finding calls for bigger operational changes — new workflows, system configuration, or implementation work — ATA can step in to design and deliver them.

FAQ
Common questions
A few of the things prospective clients ask us most.
We are not a staffing agency or search firm. We do not place candidates, take a percentage of salaries, sell software, or lock you into a retainer. We fix the hiring function your own team runs every day, then hand it back.
We audit, fix, and embed. Talent acquisition leaders who have run hiring at scale find what is limiting your hiring capacity. We rebuild the process, technology, and reporting behind it, and we stay until your team can run it without us.
That's one of our most common requests, and we do not charge to facilitate an RFP. We build the requirements from how you actually hire, run the shortlist, sit in the demos with you, and pressure-test what vendors promise. We disclose every vendor relationship up front. We will also tell you when the right answer is a vendor we don't work with, or keeping the system you already have.
Start with the complimentary ATA Audit. It's an outside-in scorecard of your hiring function, delivered in real time, with no system access required. An ATA operator walks you through the results and tells you plainly whether deeper work is worth it.
The ATA Audit is complimentary, and so is RFP facilitation. If the evidence supports a Deep Diagnostic or implementation, we scope and price that work before anything begins. No surprises.
Good. We work alongside your team, not over them. Your leader usually already knows where the process breaks. What they lack is the time to rebuild it while hiring, and a business case the CFO will fund. We supply both.
We only partner with vendors we can trust, and that trust is earned before any partnership begins. It starts with: a full demo of your product direct access to your founder(s) and top technical resources a sandbox where we can test the product ourselves a hands-on assessment of your capabilities We hold every partner to this standard because our clients rely on our recommendations. When we put a vendor in front of a client, we have already tested the product, met the people behind it, and seen where it holds up and where it doesn't. If that sounds like the right kind of partner for you, contact us.
