Before you hire

What does early access mean?

Acknowledgements, reminders and updates from your approved templates work today. Screening, interview scheduling and reading from your applicant tracking system are being built with early-access customers. Request access, mention the Recruiter, and the Atona team sets it up with you once you’re approved.

Can it find candidates for me?

No. Finding candidates and reaching out to them cold are not part of the Recruiter. It looks after the people who have already applied.

What will candidates receive?

Only the messages you approved as templates, so candidates see exactly the words you signed off. Anything a template can’t answer comes to you.

Does it decide who to hire?

No. It keeps candidates informed and hands every decision to a person.

How do I get access?

Request access from this page. You create an account, then enter an invitation code if you have one, or tell us what you need, mentioning the Recruiter. The Atona team reviews every request and replies by email.

What happens once I’m in?

The Atona team sets up your Recruiter with you: the accounts it works in, and the notes and rules it works from.
