Ever lost a perfect candidate because their application got buried in your inbox? You’re not alone. We built Tacitbase after seeing this happen over and over: startups drowning in hiring chaos. Applications scattered across emails. Candidate details are lost in messy spreadsheets. Hiring managers waste hours trying to figure out who applied where.
We noticed a pattern. The more a startup grew, the messier their hiring became. Small teams were spending more time managing their hiring process than actually talking to candidates.
Something had to change.
If you’re running a startup, you probably know exactly what I’m talking about. Maybe you’ve missed good candidates because their applications got lost in your crowded inbox. Or spent late nights updating hiring spreadsheets. Or struggled to keep your team on the same page about who’s interviewing whom.
What Actually Changes with an ATS
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is just software that helps manage hiring. Here’s what Tacitbase does in plain English:
- It Posts Jobs for You: Instead of copying your job post to LinkedIn, Indeed, and ten other sites, you post it once. The ATS sends it everywhere. That’s it. Simple, but it saves hours.
- It Organizes Applications: When someone applies, their resume doesn’t sit in your inbox. The ATS pulls out the important stuff (experience, skills, contact info) and puts it where you can find it. No more digging through emails at midnight.
- It Keeps Everything in One Place: When someone applies, their application doesn’t get lost in your inbox or spread across different spreadsheets. Each candidate has their own profile where you can see their resume, application details, and interview notes. No more switching between emails, documents, and notes to find what you need.
- It Shows You Where Every Candidate Stands: You can see exactly which stage each candidate is in – whether they just applied, need to be interviewed, or received an offer. Click on any candidate and instantly see their full history with your company. No more guessing about where you left off with someone or what the next step should be.
- Your Team Can Actually Work Together: Rather than sending emails like “What did you think of that candidate?” your team leaves feedback in one place. Everyone sees the same information. No more confusion about who liked which candidate.
