Applicant Tracking System (ATS) · Durham
Applicant Tracking System (ATS) in Durham
Systems that manage Durham organisations' hiring from application to offer. Two things are easy to get wrong: keeping unsuccessful applicants' data indefinitely because the system never deletes anything, and using automated filtering in ways that would be difficult to defend if a rejected candidate asked why.
Why this comes up
The problem
Applications arrive across email, a job board and a spreadsheet, nobody can say what stage anyone is at, and good candidates are lost to slow responses.
What you get
What we deliver
- One pipeline covering every source, so no application sits unseen in an inbox
- Retention periods set for unsuccessful applicants rather than keeping everything
- Automated filtering used carefully, with criteria that can be justified
- Structured scoring against the role, which reduces inconsistency between interviewers
- Right to work evidence recorded where the process requires it
- Candidate communication automated, since silence is the most common complaint

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Applicant Tracking System (ATS) in Durham — common questions
- How long can we keep applications?
- Only as long as there is a reason. Holding unsuccessful applicants for a defined period to defend a discrimination claim or consider them for future roles is reasonable if you say so and delete afterwards; retaining everyone indefinitely by default is not.
- Is automated screening risky?
- It can be. Filters excluding candidates on criteria that correlate with protected characteristics — employment gaps, postcode, graduation year — create discrimination exposure, and the fact that software applied the rule is not a defence. Criteria should be job-related and reviewable.
- What about candidates who ask why?
- They are entitled to their personal data, including notes and scores recorded about them. Interviewers writing informal comments in a system frequently forget this, and a subject access request during a dispute produces exactly those comments.
- What improves hiring outcomes most?
- Speed and structure. Good candidates accept elsewhere while a process deliberates, and scoring against defined criteria rather than impressions makes decisions both better and more defensible. Neither requires expensive software, and both benefit from a system that enforces them.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
