Excel can work, but there's the process of entering all the relevant data into seperate fields.
The most effective tool I've found is Outlook. You can create seperate folders for each applicant. You can track how long resumes have been active. You can search resumes by job title, skill, anything you want. You can set reminders to delete resumes after 6 months (or 1 year). If the applicant emails the resume, you can automatically populate your address book with contact information. |

As a Recruiter I have been using Outlook for the Past 8 years as a recruiting Tracking Tool/ATS -after unstability with another Program. I am so amazed at the speed and thoroughness in which I can achieve, distinguish and name my contacts- both clients and candidates Many are not aware of the Tremendous Capacity of Outlook.. Outlook is an excellent recruiting management tool, with outstanding yet easy hidden functions, Yes with Add On Tools (many which are free) it can also be shared by many operators, and can do so much more than meets the eye Outlook 2003 (in the Office Version only) even comes with a business contact manager - an added feature that is quite amazing which has the ability to manage your business contacts, track sales opportunities, and run reports Regarding Outlook - I do have a forum on another site regarding using Outlook as an ATS but here are some things I mention Outlook 2003 Is 20 Gig, allegedly with the BCM it is larger - with ovr 25k resumes and No I personally do Not archive I still have not hit the 1 gig mark Outlook with or without the BCM on is a STrong Data Managment tool - resume and data can be easily managed from one Place - Your outlook program.

No duplication in hunting and searching for information. There is so much that it can do, much more than I described here. Especially if one also is using a desktop search tool I have a group regarding using outlook as an ATS where questions and answers can be found, but there are some really great websites on the Net that also provide the same information and assistance.
