Smart Managed Payroll Service: FAQs

Isn’t recruitment software the same as an ATS?

Not quite! An ATS is a type of recruitment software focused purely on tracking applicants. Full recruitment platforms – like Cezanne Recruitment - offer wider features like onboarding, advanced analytics, and candidate relationship management... as well as an ATS. Think of an ATS as one piece of the puzzle - recruitment software can be much more comprehensive.

Can small businesses use recruitment software?

Absolutely. Many providers offer scalable plans or software designed specifically for SMEs, with just the right features (and price points) to support lean hiring teams. Tools like Cezanne Recruioment, for example, cater well to growing businesses that need smart, scalable solutions without the enterprise-level bloat.

How secure is recruitment software?

Reputable vendors offer strong security features, including GDPR compliance, data encryption, and role-based access controls. Many also provide regular audits, secure cloud hosting, and detailed permission settings—so only the right people see the right data at the right time.

Does recruitment software need to be part of a wider HRIS?

Not necessarily. Recruitment software can work well as a standalone tool, especially for smaller businesses or teams focused solely on hiring. However, integrating it into a wider HRIS (Human Resource Information System) can streamline data flow, improve reporting, and create a smoother experience across the entire employee lifecycle. For example, with Cezanne Recruitment, you can have it as a standalone solution, or as part of their end-to-end HRIS platform - it really depends on your organisation’s size, needs, and budget.

Will recruitment software replace recruiters?

No, and it shouldn’t! Recruitment is ultimately a human-led activity that requires a nuanced approach which automation and algorithms simply can’t compete with! But, it can free them up to focus on more strategic, high-value activities: like building vital relationships and making great hiring decisions.

How much does recruitment software cost?

It depends! Sorry, but it’s true. Pricing can vary widely based on features, number of users, and whether you're going for a standalone ATS or a full recruitment suite. Some providers offer pay-per-user monthly plans starting around £50, while others charge based on the number of open jobs or company size. The good news? Many platforms, like Cezanne’s, offer scalable pricing that grows with your business, so you’re not stuck paying for features you don’t need.
