What should a small business look for in an ATS?
Prioritize quick setup, clear pricing, a usable careers page, collaborative candidate review, and a pipeline that occasional hiring managers can understand. Complex enterprise configuration rarely helps a small team hire its next few people.
Is an ATS useful if we only hire a few people each year?
Yes, especially when each hire matters and several people participate. An ATS preserves candidate history, reduces missed follow-up, and creates a repeatable process without relying on one person's inbox or memory.
Can multiple team members review candidates in Loam?
Yes. Teams can collaborate through shared candidate records, notes, stages, and interview feedback while controlling who can access each hiring workflow.
Can we start before moving every old candidate into Loam?
Yes. A small business can begin with the next open role, establish the new workflow, and move only the historical candidate information that remains useful.
