We thought we needed a powerful ATS. In reality, we needed an efficient ATS.

That’s what one of our clients realized when they decided to switch from Workday to Jobloom.

This SME was already using our career site and our multi-posting solution. For its ATS, it had chosen one of the global market leaders.

Yet in day-to-day use, it wasn’t power that made the difference.

It was simplicity, speed, and efficiency. 🚀

Then came a simple question:
👉 Why are our recruiters spending so much time in their tool?

Digging deeper, several frustrations emerged:
❌ Complicated collaboration with several hiring managers
❌ Impossible to easily find a candidate already met a few months ago in the database
❌ Tedious multilingual posting
❌ Reporting poorly aligned with the KPIs actually tracked by the company
❌ Few tools to showcase job ads on social media

The result?
They decided to replace their ATS with that of Jobloom

Not to get more features.
But to get the right features.

✅ Smart search in the candidate database thanks to AI
✅ Smooth collaboration between recruiters and managers
✅ Simplified multilingual posting
✅ Reporting tailored to their indicators
✅ Automatic creation of carousels to promote jobs

Sometimes, the best solution isn’t the biggest one.
It’s the one that truly meets your teams’ needs.

And you, how many features of your ATS do you actually use on a daily basis? 🤔

If this filename looks normal to you... it might be time to get yourself an ATS. 😅

At first, Excel gets the job done.

Then come:

➡️ 150 applications

➡️ 4 recruitments in parallel

➡️ CVs in Outlook or in Dropbox folders

➡️ Comments in his notebook

➡️ Managers who keep asking: "Where do we stand?"

And suddenly, you’re spending more time managing your file than recruiting.

The problem isn’t Excel.

The problem is that Excel works with rows.

No candidates.

No processes.

No recruitment.

In 2026, with AI, job boards, and hundreds of applications sometimes arriving within just a few days, continuing to recruit using Excel is a bit like trying to steer your company’s growth with a spreadsheet.

It works.

Until the day it stops working.

I explored this topic in my latest article.

And let’s be honest… who’s already worked on a version even longer than the one in the title? 😂

What if AI made recruitment more human?

Yesterday, a prospect told me something that every ATS vendor should hear.

"I'm looking for a solution that will free up my time thanks to AI so I can put humans back at the heart of recruitment."

Not to recruit without recruiters.

Not to replace HR.

Not to automate human relationships.

But to win back time.

We sell AI as a machine capable of replacing humans.

In the field, I see exactly the opposite.

Recruiters are drowning in administrative tasks.

What they want is less data entry.
Fewer clicks.
Less admin.

And more conversations.
More listening.
More closeness.

Technology should never be the hero of recruitment.

The hero is the recruiter.

Technology should simply allow them to do what they do best: create human connections.

I’ve analyzed hundreds of SME job postings.

Most of them still look like this:

“We’re looking for a dynamic, autonomous, versatile candidate… to join a great team.”

What that means for the candidate:

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Today, the best job ads answer 3 questions:

• Why you?
• Why this job?
• Why now?

And I’d add a bonus: What’s our company vision?

Recruitment has become marketing.

Yet very few companies have understood this.
