An applicant tracking system should not leave all the hiring to you.
Traditional ATSs solved an important problem: they put candidates and vacancies in one place. But care recruitment has changed. Applicant volume is higher, candidates move faster and compliance is more demanding. Lily keeps everything an ATS should do, then adds an AI hiring team that works through the queue.
