Why Amon chooses OTYS as a digital tool
Recruitment is the first building block of a successful organization. To grow as an organization, you need to attract and develop talent. It is essential for HR services or recruitment companies to build a community of candidates and follow them efficiently and effectively. In today's overheated job market, this is no different.
Amon has been choosing OTYS as a digital tool for building and monitoring our community since its inception in 2007. Christophe VanDriessche, Managing Director of Amon, explains how a sophisticated Applicant Tracking System (ATS) like OTYS assists in supporting the human work of headhunters and makes it easier to find and monitor the right match between a company and a candidate.
How long has Amon been using OTYS, and why was this choice ultimately made?
"In 2007, choosing OTYS was a no-brainer for us. At that time, they were a young Dutch company that was the only ATS with so many functionalities and powerful relational modules. OTYS allowed us to manage all our activities from one central platform."
"Over the years, OTYS has evolved into a full-fledged SaaS player (Software as a Service) operating in 25 countries. The company continues to invest in interesting integrations via APIs, which allows us as users to work with data as extensively as possible. We continue to compare OTYS to their competitors - which are now much more numerous than in the early years - but they remain number one for us, thanks to the combination of a favorable price-quality ratio and the ability to integrate innovative solutions into the ecosystem."
How does OTYS help match the perfect candidate with a job role?
"OTYS allows us to keep candidate data in a highly structured way. The platform supports us in our core recruitment processes and enables us to create an optimal candidate experience and follow-up. This way, we can excellently fulfill our role as career advisors. In addition, OTYS provides the necessary support to ensure the privacy of candidates."
Which integrations does Amon find most enriching or interesting for IT headhunters?
"OTYS offers a wide range of integration and linking possibilities with partners. Due to OTYS's strategic choice to focus more on supporting core processes, you need this ecosystem of partners to build your digital roadmap and further automate your processes. This ranges from integrations with ERP solutions, marketing automation tools, robotic process automation (RPA) tools, search engines, ..."
The role of the headhunter is still to make that ideal cultural match, which is a human touch, but you need a tool that allows you to focus on that human touch. A digital tool to leverage human interaction."

"Can you provide an example of such an interesting integration?"
"One tool that offers a lot of potential is Actonomy. This plug-in is an integrated semantic search and matching solution based on artificial intelligence. The tool presents us with a selection of top profiles for each job vacancy."
"This allows us to efficiently interact with suitable candidates for the position and focus on our role as career advisors and 'matchmakers.' The technology assists us in our search for the perfect candidate, but, as always, the ultimate finishing touch lies in the capable hands of our talented headhunters. They excel at assessing whether the perfect match is ultimately achieved or not."
