Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does an applicant tracking system (ATS) help me overcome labor shortages?
    • There are still far more job openings in hospitality than available workers. Not only that—we’re actually seeing a rise in turnover of frontline workers for the first time since the pandemic.
    • When you’re experiencing high turnover, it’s common to feel desperate to hire anyone, as long as you’re filling open positions. But this doesn’t help you hire the best people for the job.
    • That’s where an ATS comes in. An ATS can offer time-saving automation and AI tools that work behind the scenes to pre-screen candidates while they fill out applications. As a result, you hire faster than your competition next door. Not only that, but you also ensure your managers only spend time interviewing (and ultimately hiring) the very best talent.
  • How does an ATS help me source talent?
    • Our ATS makes it easy to broadcast your job openings to a large candidate pool. Thanks to free integrations with popular job boards and sites like Indeed and Snagajob, your postings will be visible everywhere job seekers look.
    • You’re not limited to job boards, either. With text-to-apply codes, our ATS makes it easy for walk-in candidates to move through the application process from their phone—or to share the application with their friends. And because our ATS was designed mobile-first and doesn’t require candidates to create an account or upload a resume, applicants are far more likely to complete the process in one effortless swoop. Simply put, we make it easy for candidates to apply.
    • Finally, our ATS comes with a custom career site built for your business. This page gives you plenty of space to discuss company culture and employee benefits—all top concerns of applicants in the hourly space. With their questions answered, candidates have more reasons to complete an application.
  • How can Fourth make onboarding more efficient for hiring managers?
    • In just a few clicks, hiring managers can send a complete onboarding packet to new hires. In turn, these hires can easily complete onboarding from their phones.
    • After the manager clicks “hire” in our applicant tracking system, a pre-populated email will display on the screen, complete with links to all required state and federal forms and any other forms or training materials you’d like to include. All managers have to do is click send. Then the onboarding packet is off. Your team never has to worry about gathering the correct documentation or double-checking compliance. It’s already handled.
