Recruitment ATS Software for UK Employers

RootHR is an all-in-one HR and workforce management platform for UK employers. If you’re looking for recruitment ATS software UK teams can actually run day-to-day hiring in, RootHR helps you move from vacancy to onboarding with less admin, clearer visibility, and a single candidate record.

Recruitment ATS software UK teams can use from vacancy to onboarding

RootHR’s Recruitment ATS helps you advertise roles, manage applicants, track progress, schedule interviews, complete pre-hire checks (including Right to Work), and move successful candidates straight into onboarding.

What is recruitment ATS software?

An applicant tracking system (ATS) is recruitment software that keeps your vacancies, applications, candidate information, interview activity and hiring decisions in one place. Instead of chasing email threads and spreadsheets, you get a structured pipeline and a clear record of what’s happened at each stage.

Why UK employers use an applicant tracking system

Stop losing track of applicants when CVs are spread across inboxes and spreadsheets.
Reduce delays between interview, feedback and decisions with a shared pipeline.
Cut admin with hiring workflows, approvals, notifications and timelines.
Keep a clear recruitment record with notes, decisions and an audit trail.
Connect recruitment and onboarding so you’re not re-entering the same data twice

Receive and organise applications in one central place.
Track candidates through the pipeline with clear stages and progress updates.

THE WHOLE FLOW

End-to-end, with nothing lost in the middle.

From first task to final approval, every step stays connected, tracked and easy to manage.

Post jobs from one place

Publish roles to a branded careers page and share vacancies via job boards and referral channels. Applications stay centralised so HR and hiring managers can work from the same information.

Keep every candidate in one clear pipeline

RootHR gives you an applicant tracking system UK employers can use to manage candidates through defined hiring stages. You can maintain candidate records and hiring history, track progress, add notes, record decisions and keep a timeline of activity for better visibility and handovers.

Schedule interviews without the back and forth

Coordinate interviews using synced team calendars, so it’s easier to find suitable slots, keep stakeholders aligned, and reduce time spent on admin.

Complete pre-hire checks before the offer

Handle key checks as part of the hiring workflow, including:

Right to Work checks
Reference checks
Pre-employment screening

Connect recruitment with onboarding

This is where RootHR stands out versus a standalone recruitment platform. Once a candidate is successful, you can move them directly into onboarding without unnecessary duplicate data entry.

Recruitment → checks → offer → onboarding → employee record

It’s a more organised way to manage the transition from candidate to new starter, especially when you’re hiring regularly or across multiple sites. Explore Onboarding and HR Core / Employee Management.

Recruitment software with UKVI compliance in mind

UK employers may need to consider Right to Work and (where relevant) sponsorship requirements during recruitment. Keeping recruitment, candidate records and documents connected can help teams stay organised and improve visibility.

RootHR supports this joined-up approach alongside tools like Right to Work Checks, UKVI Compliance, eVisa Monitoring and Document Management. RootHR doesn’t replace legal advice and cannot guarantee immigration compliance.
