Pricing & engagement options

Choose the ATS support model around the work that is actually piling up

Applicant tracking work can be a one-time backlog, a recurring recruiter-support queue or a broader staffing-operations workflow. Because record volume, platform access and stage rules materially change the effort, pricing is confirmed as a Custom Quote after a focused scope review.

What moves the quote?

The largest drivers are active-job volume, candidate/backlog size, number of recruiter desks or client workflows, update frequency, data quality, required permissions, reporting depth, integrations and urgency.

Not sure whether you need a clean-up or ongoing ATS support?

Share the ATS, queue type, approximate backlog and the recruiter action you want supported. Rudrriv can use that context to define a sensible scope rather than forcing the work into a generic package.

Where support fits

Applicant tracking support sits inside the recruiter’s workflow—not beside it

Recruitment teams need the ATS to reflect what has actually happened. In staffing, that usually extends beyond a simple application funnel because client requisitions, candidate submissions, feedback and placements can become part of the operating record.

Job / Requisition

Open, update, classify and close approved job records.

Candidate Intake

Capture or organize candidate profiles and source information.

Screen / Qualify

Maintain stages from recruiter-approved outcomes.

Interview

Log scheduling/status activity and approved feedback markers.

Submission / Offer

Maintain client submissions or offer-stage records as applicable.

Placement / Hire

Complete approved placement or hire handoff information.

Reporting / Archive

Prepare agreed views and follow customer archive/retention rules.

Why generic admin support is not enough: ATS tasks depend on stage definitions, ownership, source evidence, client or hiring-manager approvals, duplicate rules, candidate-data sensitivity and the downstream meaning of each status. A seemingly small update can affect recruiter queues, reporting or placement records.
Included work vs outputs

What Rudrriv can perform—and what your team receives from the support

The exact configuration is agreed before work starts. Operational activities are separated from deliverables so you can see whether you are buying execution, a cleaned queue, a reportable data set or a recurring service rhythm.

Operational work that can be included

Job & requisition recordsCreate or update approved fields, ownership, status and close-out information.
Candidate profile hygieneUpdate fields, source tags, attachments and agreed completeness checks.
Pipeline stage maintenanceMove or correct records using approved recruiter, client or system-source information.
Duplicate reviewIdentify likely duplicates and apply approved merge/archive rules or route exceptions.
Submissions & placement updatesMaintain staffing-specific client submission, feedback, interview and placement records where applicable.
Operational reporting supportPrepare agreed extracts, status views, queue counts or completeness summaries.
Recruitment-specific deep dives

Two places where ATS support becomes materially different for recruitment & staffing

These are not generic data-entry tasks. The meaning of a record changes with the recruiter workflow, and staffing operations can introduce client-facing stages that internal hiring teams do not use.

Deep dive 1: Candidate record hygiene without breaking pipeline meaning

Candidate records often accumulate from applications, sourcing, referrals, job boards, imports and earlier roles. Support has to preserve useful history while keeping fields, statuses and ownership understandable for recruiters.

  • Distinguish true duplicates from one candidate linked to multiple roles.
  • Use approved source and ownership conventions rather than inventing missing data.
  • Keep stage changes tied to a recruiter-approved outcome or reliable source event.
  • Route ambiguous merge, rejection, archive or retention actions for authorised review.

Deep dive 2: Staffing submissions, client feedback and placement handoff

Agency staffing can add operational stages between candidate screening and placement. A candidate may be qualified internally, submitted to a client, returned for more information, interviewed, offered and placed—all of which can affect recruiter visibility and client reporting.

  • Keep candidate-to-job and candidate-to-client relationships clear where the platform supports them.
  • Log client feedback and interview outcomes from approved source information.
  • Update placement or assignment handoff fields without assuming payroll, onboarding or compliance processing is included.
  • Maintain exception queues when client or recruiter feedback is incomplete or conflicting.

Systems & dependencies

The ATS is usually the center of a wider recruitment operations stack

Rudrriv does not assume expertise or partnership with a named platform. During scoping, the team confirms which systems are involved, what access is permitted and where the authoritative source for each update lives.

ATS / Recruitment CRM

Candidate, job, client, activity, submission and placement records.

Career Site / Job Boards

Application sources, job postings and source attribution dependencies.

Email / Messaging

Approved communication evidence, templates or activity history where integrated.

Calendar / Interview Tools

Scheduling status and interview-event dependencies.

HRIS / Onboarding

Hire or placement handoff may depend on downstream system rules.

Reporting / BI

Operational extracts, dashboards or completeness views where scoped.

Integration caution: routine ATS administration can consume information from connected systems, but new API work, integration engineering, vendor configuration or major migration is treated as separate technical scope unless explicitly agreed.

Candidate data & decision responsibility

Operational ATS support has to respect the boundary between administration and recruiting judgment

Candidate records can contain personal and sometimes sensitive information. The customer remains responsible for deciding why information is collected, who can access it, how long it is retained, which decisions are authorised and which legal or regulatory obligations apply.

Rudrriv operational support can

  • Apply approved stage, status, ownership and data-quality rules.
  • Update records from authorised recruiter, client or system-source information.
  • Flag missing, conflicting or ambiguous records for customer review.
  • Use only the access and data needed for the agreed operational task.
  • Prepare agreed queue, completion or reporting outputs.

The customer remains responsible for

  • Hiring, rejection, shortlisting, client-selection and suitability decisions.
  • Defining lawful use, retention, deletion and candidate-communication requirements.
  • Providing appropriate access permissions and approved operating instructions.
  • Confirming which records are authoritative when sources conflict.
  • Legal, regulatory, employment, privacy or compliance advice and approvals.
Important: Applicant Tracking Support is operational/administrative support. It is not legal advice, regulatory assurance or a guarantee of compliance. Retention or deletion actions should follow the customer’s approved rules and applicable obligations.
Before work starts

What your recruitment team should have ready

A clean start reduces avoidable rework. You do not need perfect documentation, but Rudrriv needs enough direction to know what each record means and when an exception should be escalated.

Appropriate access

An account or role with only the permissions needed for the agreed tasks, plus a clear access owner.

Stage & status rules

Definitions for active, rejected, withdrawn, submitted, interviewed, offered, placed or hired states as applicable.

Source-of-truth guidance

Where update evidence comes from—recruiters, clients, email, integrations, spreadsheets or another system.

Duplicate / exception rules

What can be merged, archived or corrected automatically and what must be sent back for review.

Reporting definitions

The recruiter, requisition, client or pipeline views you actually need and which fields must be reliable.

Data-handling instructions

Customer-approved rules for access, sensitive information, retention, archive or deletion actions where relevant.

Engagement workflow & quality

From a recruiter backlog to a controlled operating queue

The process is designed to clarify the rules before records are changed, then keep ambiguous decisions visible rather than burying them inside the ATS.

1

Scope Review

Confirm ATS, queues, record volumes, tasks and expected outcomes.

2

Access & Rules

Confirm permissions, stage logic, source evidence and escalation paths.

3

Sample / Pilot

Where useful, test the rules on a limited set before broader execution.

4

Queue Execution

Perform agreed updates, checks, logging and reporting work.

5

QA & Exceptions

Review samples, completeness and unresolved records against scope.

6

Handoff / Cadence

Provide completion view or continue under the agreed recurring rhythm.

Requirement confirmationTask rules and sources are defined before large-scale updates.
Record validationRequired fields, stages and data relationships can be checked against agreed rules.
Exception loggingAmbiguous or conflicting records are routed instead of guessed.
Output reviewCompletion, queue or reporting outputs are reviewed before handoff where scoped.
Scope boundaries

What belongs in standard ATS support, what needs custom scope, and what is outside routine administration

This distinction matters because buyers often use “ATS support” to describe everything from data clean-up to recruiting, software implementation and compliance work.

Scope classTypical examplesHow it is handled
Standard operational supportApproved candidate/job updates, stage/status maintenance, document organization, duplicate review, submissions/feedback logging, queue tracking and basic operational extracts.Included when tasks, sources, permissions and rules are clear.
Optional / extended supportHigher-frequency queues, multi-team administration, more detailed reporting, additional workflow objects or structured handoff documentation.Added to the agreed engagement when the effort and ownership are clear.
Custom technical scopeMajor ATS migration, API integration, custom automation, complex platform configuration, new data models or advanced BI engineering.Requires separate technical assessment and pricing.
Outside routine ATS administrationIndependent candidate selection, legal/privacy advice, regulatory assurance, background-check adjudication, payroll processing or unapproved retention/deletion decisions.Not assumed to be included; another specialist service or customer owner may be required.
Operational value

What stronger ATS administration can enable for a recruiting team

These are operational outcomes—not guaranteed hiring results. They depend on the underlying ATS, recruiter process, source data and customer decisions.

Clearer recruiter queues

Current stages and fewer ambiguous records can make the next action easier to identify.

Less record friction

Consistent fields, source tags and duplicate handling can reduce time spent deciphering the database.

More usable reporting

Reports are easier to interpret when the pipeline records behind them are maintained consistently.

More consistent handoffs

Recruiter, client, offer, placement or hire transitions can be documented more clearly.

Realistic use cases

Common situations that trigger an Applicant Tracking Support enquiry

Backlog

Pipeline clean-up after a hiring surge

Recruiters have moved quickly, but stages, notes, attachments or dispositions are behind. The scope focuses on reconciling approved source information and separating exceptions.

Staffing

Client submission and placement records are inconsistent

A staffing team needs candidate-to-job activity, client feedback and placement handoff records kept in a more repeatable operating rhythm.

Reporting

Leadership needs a more dependable pipeline view

The issue is not a new dashboard first—it is that key ATS stages, owners or statuses need to be brought into a usable state before reporting can be trusted operationally.

Turnaround & cadence

Timing is based on the queue, the rules and the access—not a generic promise

Rudrriv confirms timing after reviewing the operational volume and dependencies. A focused clean-up and an ongoing multi-recruiter support queue are different purchases and should not be presented with the same delivery claim.

How timing is framed

One-time clean-upScheduled in working days after volume, sample records, rules and access are confirmed.
Ongoing administrationRuns to the agreed queue frequency, priority order and handoff rhythm.
Urgent hiring surgeFeasibility depends on backlog size, number of active roles, platform constraints and availability of approved source information.
Reporting supportDepends on field completeness, report definitions and whether the required data is available in the ATS.
Buyer questions

Questions recruitment & staffing teams ask before outsourcing ATS administration

These answers clarify suitability, access, data handling, pricing, timing, reporting and the boundary between operational support and recruiting decisions.

What does Applicant Tracking Support include for a recruitment or staffing team?

It can include operational support such as job and requisition record maintenance, candidate profile hygiene, stage and status updates based on recruiter instructions, duplicate review, document organization, activity logging, submissions and client-feedback updates, placement or hire record handoff, queue monitoring and reporting preparation. Exact tasks depend on your ATS, permissions and approved workflow.

Is this an ATS implementation or software-development service?

No. This page is for operational Applicant Tracking Support. New ATS implementation, custom software development, API engineering, major migrations, advanced automation or vendor configuration projects may need a separately scoped technical service.

Can you work inside our existing ATS or recruitment CRM?

Potentially, where the platform can be accessed appropriately and the required workflow is documented. Compatibility, permissions and any platform-specific constraints are confirmed during scoping rather than assumed.

Can the service support staffing-agency workflows as well as internal hiring?

Yes, the scope can be designed around recruitment and staffing workflows. Staffing operations often need additional objects and stages such as client requisitions, candidate submissions, client feedback, interviews, placements and assignment handoff, while internal hiring may focus more heavily on applications, interviews, offers and hire handoff.

Will Rudrriv decide which candidates should move forward?

Not as part of routine ATS administration. Candidate assessment, shortlisting and hiring decisions remain with the customer unless a separate recruiting service is explicitly agreed. Applicant Tracking Support records and executes approved workflow actions rather than replacing recruiter judgment.

What information do you need before work starts?

Useful inputs include the ATS or recruitment-CRM access method, role permissions, stage and status definitions, job or requisition rules, required fields, naming conventions, duplicate-handling rules, approved communication templates if relevant, reporting definitions, escalation contacts and any customer-approved retention or archive instructions.

Do you need administrator access to our ATS?

Not necessarily. Access should be limited to the permissions required for the agreed tasks. The customer should determine and provide the appropriate role or account based on its own security and access-control requirements.

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is custom because effort changes materially with the number of active jobs, candidate volume, backlog size, number of recruiter desks or teams, frequency of updates, reporting requirements, data quality, workflow complexity, integrations, access constraints and whether the work is one-time or ongoing.

Why is there no fixed starting price on this page?

A meaningful ATS-support engagement can range from a focused queue clean-up to ongoing recruitment operations support. Quoting a single low headline price without knowing the record volume and workflow would be misleading, so Rudrriv confirms scope before pricing.

How long does Applicant Tracking Support take?

Turnaround is scope-dependent. A focused clean-up is scheduled after the record volume, rules and access are reviewed. Ongoing operational support follows an agreed cadence and queue priority. Urgent hiring surges, incomplete source data, stakeholder approvals or platform restrictions can affect timing.

Can you clean up duplicate or incomplete candidate records?

Duplicate review and record hygiene can be included where the customer provides approved merge, archive or correction rules and the platform permissions support the action. Ambiguous cases should be routed for customer review rather than changed without instruction.

Can you maintain interview, submission, offer or placement stages?

Yes, stage and status maintenance can be included when updates are based on approved source information and workflow rules. The exact stage model varies by internal recruiting team, staffing agency, ATS and client process.

Can you prepare recruitment reports from the ATS?

Reporting support can include queue summaries, pipeline extracts, status completeness checks, recruiter or requisition views and agreed operational reporting. Advanced analytics, predictive modeling or custom BI engineering may require a separate scope.

How do you handle candidate personal information?

Candidate data should be treated as sensitive operational information. The customer remains responsible for defining lawful use, access, retention, deletion and regulatory requirements. Rudrriv support should operate only within the approved task, access and data-handling instructions for the engagement.

Can you delete or archive candidate data for us?

Such actions can be performed only when they are explicitly included in scope and the customer provides approved rules and authorization. Rudrriv does not independently determine legal retention periods or compliance requirements.

What happens after I submit an enquiry?

Rudrriv reviews the requirement, ATS context, queue or backlog size, access needs and expected cadence. Clarification may be requested. The scope, pricing, responsibilities and delivery expectations are then confirmed before work begins.
