Applicant Tracking System for Government

Insight is an applicant tracking system (ATS) that automates and centralizes recruitment activities – from job postings and applicant scoring to eligibility list management and communication. The system’s configurable workflows, customizable application questions, and applicant scoring tools are specifically tailored to government requirements. Its ability to automate screening, notifications, and approvals helps reduce bottlenecks, speeds up time-to-hire, and minimizes manual work for HR. This is particularly helpful for roles requiring multi-step reviews or strict documentation.

For agencies in states like New York, it works with NEOGOV Discover to digitize compliance tasks, reducing reliance on paper-based lists and manual tracking. Electronic documentation of each hiring stage helps agencies stay compliant with regulations and defend hiring decisions during audits.

Insight allows multiple reviewers to participate in the hiring process with secure access to candidate data. HR can assign rating matrices and workflows so departments can easily screen, comment, and rank applicants in a shared space. Built-in communication tools reduce reliance on spreadsheets or email chains, creating an efficient and transparent process for HR, hiring managers, and evaluators.

Insight includes more than 100 out-of-the-box reports, and it also offers customizable reporting dashboards to track recruitment metrics including application volume, diversity and EEO data, time-to-hire, and recruitment source effectiveness. HR teams can use built-in reports to analyze trends, demonstrate compliance, and optimize hiring strategies. Reports can be filtered and exported, and they support transparency for internal stakeholders or compliance audits.

Insight integrates seamlessly with Attract for proactive candidate sourcing, GovernmentJobs.com for automatic job postings, Onboard for paperless onboarding, and Vetted for background investigations. It also integrates with HRIS to automate employee data management. This integration allows applicant information to flow through each stage of the hiring lifecycle without duplicate data entry. It saves time, increases accuracy, and provides a consistent experience for HR and applicants.

Insight simplifies the public sector job application process with a mobile-friendly, user-centric interface that makes it easy for candidates to apply for jobs. Automated email and SMS notifications keep them informed about their application status, reducing uncertainty and improving transparency. Insight also supports self-scheduling of interviews and exams, allowing applicants to choose time slots that work for them without the need for back-and-forth communication. Combined, these features help public agencies present a more modern, accessible hiring experience that attracts top talent and reduces drop-off rates.
