Fast Track Recruitment with Applicant Tracking System

The customer is well-versed in recruiting & staffing industry & was in search for a highly experienced product development partner to revamp their legacy solution to a futuristic ATS.

Customer collaborated with Azilen with a long-term engagement plan to map the new technological and HR requirements. An open eco-system was created, envisaging numerous recruitment tools in the market supplementing the ATS’s extendibility.

The long-term engagement initiated with a complete revamp of the User Experience & Work Flow modification, later leading to a redefined architecture & development of some of the remarkable & trending ATS functionality.

Modernization Journey

Transformation Strategy

A detailed analysis of the product was carried out for extracting the key functional components and workflows. With the sheer understanding of the product, the following shortcomings were realised:

• Obsolete Technology & Cumbersome Infrastructure
• Complex User flows & Unappealing User Interface
• Poor System performance & Security vulnerability

To address these, the modernization roadmap was defined with key focus on UI Standardization, workflow optimization, and architecture. This roadmap was initiated with front-end first approach, and then revamping the backend subsequently. A design strategy was formulated for the UX enhancement with visual apprehension of the modern system.

Implementation & Execution

A detailed development strategy was prepared along with defining the tech stack, middleware services framework, APIs and system integrations covering the complete functional & technical flow of the system. Selection of new microservice based architecture design with the cloud infrastructure.

• Domain Driven classification of microservices with event storming
• The frontend and backend infrastructure with the CI/CD pipeline automation
• Following are the prime objective for architectural transformation to form resilient and reliable system:

1. Domain Driven functional units
2. Isolation to micro-level functional units
3. Functional independence – loose coupling

The newly implemented solution is a web & mobile based enterprise ATS for recruiters that includes complete process flows for candidate, client & job orders management with multiple integrations in place.

A Phased approach was chosen to ensure minimal disruption in the Legacy ecosystem.
