Top Applicant Tracking Software

30 applicant tracking software products ranked by rating, review volume and listing quality.

Looking for the best applicant tracking software? TrustList ranks 30 products with applicant tracking across 15 software categories (the largest groups: HR analytics, leave management system and workforce management software). Updated September 2026.

What to look for in applicant tracking software

The best applicant tracking software for you depends on how your business works, not only on where a product sits in the list. Before you shortlist the top-ranked options, check for:

  • Every job, candidate and application in one place, with a pipeline per role
  • Posting to job boards and your careers page in one step
  • CV parsing, search and tags
  • Interview scheduling, scorecards and feedback from the hiring team
  • Candidate emails from templates, and data retention that meets GDPR
  • Reports on time to hire, source of hire and pipeline health

Start with the top 10, then narrow down with Best applicant tracking software by category further down the page, which ranks the same feature inside each kind of software. Read the reviews on each profile, and ask vendors to show you the points above with your own data before you decide.

Best applicant tracking software by category

The same feature, ranked inside each kind of software. 15 categories in all; these 1 have 5 or more products.

How is this list of the top applicant tracking software worked out?

TrustList ranks every product that offers applicant tracking, whichever software category it is filed under, by its rating, how many reviews it has and how complete its profile is. No one can pay for a position in this list. Where few products have reviews yet, profile completeness carries more weight, so treat the order as a shortlist to check rather than a verdict.

Is the top-ranked product the best applicant tracking software for everyone?

No. A small team, a growing business and a large enterprise need different things from applicant tracking software. Use the checklist above and the rankings by category to find the best fit, and give most weight to reviews from companies like yours.

How often does the ranking change?

The order is recalculated as new reviews arrive and vendors update their profiles, so the list you see is the current one.
