Overview

Zara can be used as an all-in-one Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to manage the full recruitment lifecycle in a single platform. In this setup, Zara goes beyond interviews and acts as the central system to:
  • Receive and store candidate applications
  • Screen and vet candidates using AI Interviews
  • Track candidate progress across hiring stages
  • Support recruiter and hiring manager decision-making
This use case is ideal for teams that want a lightweight, AI-native ATS without relying on multiple disconnected tools.

​
What Zara replaces in this use case

When used as an all-in-one ATS, Zara can replace or reduce dependency on:
  • Traditional ATS systems for early-stage hiring
  • Manual resume screening
  • Disconnected interview and assessment tools
  • Spreadsheets used to track candidates
All candidate data, interview results, and decisions live in one place.

​
End-to-end hiring flow in Zara

When using Zara as an ATS, the hiring flow typically looks like this:
  1. Recruiters or Hiring Managers Open a Job in the micro1 dashboard. To make recruiter’s lifes easier, they can Customze the Job Stages for a better pipeline management according to the existing recruitment funnel.
  2. Candidates apply for a role. See more on Receiving Candidate applications
  3. Applications are stored and tracked in Zara
  4. An AI Interview can be configured for the job to support recruitment team decision-making processes
  5. The recruitment team can use the Resume Score feature to rank the best candidates and invite them to take the Zara interview. Candidates can also be auto-invited to take the interview.
  6. Candidates will take the Zara interview
  7. Zara evaluates these interviews and generates structured reports
  8. Recruiters review results and take action
  9. Candidates move forward or are rejected based on defined criteria
Each step is configurable and the order can be adapted based on your hiring process.
