Custom ATS systems become innovation prisons. Every change requires developers, weeks of waiting, and lost opportunities while competitors surge ahead with instant upgrades. Ecosystems win the flexibility race every time. #RecruitingTech 🔄 What tech decision do you regret?

Our custom ATS became a tech island. When our time tracking tool went bankrupt, we needed new time tracking AND new payroll solutions with months of integration work. Meanwhile, competitors simply clicked "connect" with better tools. Don't trap yourself in tech isolation. #RecruitingTech

My custom ATS revelation: "We need 6 months to add texting." Meanwhile, competitors clicked a button and texted candidates immediately. Custom development guarantees you'll always trail behind. The pace of innovation will outrun your developers every time. #RecruitingTech

Well that's nifty. I just learned about setting my domain name as my handle. Anyone else know that was a thing? 🤷♂️

Our custom ATS crashed. No logins. No recruiting. No revenue. It took developers 3 days to respond while our business stood still. Enterprise platforms offer 99.9% uptime guarantees and 24/7 support. When your system fails (it will), who will you call? #RecruitingTech

While building our custom ATS, placements fell, candidates vanished in spreadsheets, and revenue dropped. Six months of my focus cost more in lost business than any enterprise solution. Custom development's true price isn't dollars—it's opportunity. #RecruitingTech

When implementing AI, start with low-risk roles. We chose internal hiring and cold outreach—areas where mistakes wouldn't damage client relationships. Result? Our AI outperformed my month's work in just one week. #AIStrategy #DigitalTransformation

Digital labor isn't a tech expense—it's workforce investment. We created a dedicated budget line for it, transforming how we measure ROI. When you view AI as workers not tools, everything changes. #DigitalWorkforce

AI agents aren't solo performers—they need human counterparts with clear workflows. The key question isn't competition but collaboration: where does the digital agent stop and the human start? Build partnerships, not parallel systems. #AIWorkforce #DigitalTransformation

AI agents aren't just tools—they're team members needing management. Our leaders suddenly had new "employees" making autonomous decisions requiring oversight. Who's managing your digital workforce? #AILeadership

When AI crushed my monthly performance in just one week, I had to confront a hard truth: execution is no longer my value-add. The future belongs to those who can strategically direct these digital workers and elevate their own thinking. Are you preparing for this shift? #AIWorkforce #FutureOfWork

We told recruiters:
Don't use LinkedIn until you search our database.
What we learned?
The ATS wasn’t helping them.
That week changed everything—from how we track data to how we search it.

We asked leaders to track every question they had to ask their team in a day.
It revealed big gaps in reporting.
We fixed them with Salesforce dashboards—and saved days of work.

Track every copy/paste you do in one day.
The results? Eye-opening.
So many tools. So much lost time.
Try it with your team—then ask:
How do we bring all this into one system?

Then we used Salesforce Flow to auto-create jobs in our ATS.
No more chaos.
