### Why Buy an Extra ATS When HubSpot Already Does 80%?

Many recruitment and HR teams are looking for clarity, structure, and ease. And as soon as the hiring process becomes more serious, the question often arises: *Should we invest in an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)?*

But what if you're already using HubSpot?

Chances are, you already have 80% of the functionality of a typical ATS right at your fingertips.

---

### What Does an ATS Actually Do?

An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) helps manage job applications. Think: tracking candidates, their progress, communication, and organizing your hiring process.

But… that’s exactly what HubSpot can do too. It's just more commonly used for sales or marketing workflows. A missed opportunity, because with a few small adjustments, you can turn HubSpot into a powerful recruitment tool.

---

### HubSpot as a Recruitment Engine

Using pipelines, stages, custom properties, tags, templates, and workflows, you can set up a clear and streamlined recruitment process in no time:

- **Candidates = Contacts**  
  You add applicants as contacts. Everything in one place: resumes, notes, communication, status.
- **Pipeline = Hiring Process**  
  From ‘New’ to ‘Interview’ and ‘Hired’. Drag and drop candidates through the pipeline and keep an overview per vacancy.
- **Templates & Automation**  
  Standard emails for application confirmations, interview invites, and rejections. Automatically sent, with a personal touch.

---

### So Why Do Companies Still Buy an ATS?

Habit, advice from software vendors, or the idea that you *need* something “specialized.” But in reality, you're often spending hundreds of euros extra, when HubSpot already covers all the basics.

---

### Final Thoughts

Already using HubSpot? Then first explore what you can achieve with the tools you already have. Because why invest in *yet another* system when 80% is already working?

Curious how that works in practice? Send us a message, and we’ll show you live. Simple. Efficient. And lean.
