A Survey of Applicant Tracking Systems for Bootstrapped Businesses
I’m a bootstrapped founder of a six-person company, and I spent this week testing different tools for hiring candidates.
This post summarizes my experience with the applicant tracking systems (ATS) I found and how well they serve small, bootstrapped businesses.

Why use an applicant tracking system (ATS)?
The last time I hired for a role, I posted the job on WeWorkRemotely and directed candidates to email me. I ended up receiving 221 applications, so managing them in email became messy. I came up with a folder labeling system that worked okay, but this time around, I want a purpose-built tool for tracking applications.
