The Collective
When we started RecOps Collective, we knew our community needed more than one voice or opinion.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single place for RecOps professionals to go to find guides/frameworks, thought pieces, and humor specific to our space.
SO WE CREATED ONE
This space is for RecOps to share those ideas and also see their work up in a public space.
If you want to submit an article, don't hesitate to contact hello@recopscollective.com for guidelines and submission.

Questions RecOps Folks Should Ask During Their ATS Scoping
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is one of the most important tools to a recruiting team, and RecOps professionals are often tasked with maintaining for finding new ones. Who better to give advice on the right questions to ask when you are evaluating a new ATS than someone who has to sell it?
