What Happens When Your ATS and AI Actually Work Together

Most healthcare staffing agencies rely heavily on their ATS.

It's where candidate data lives.
It's where recruiters work.
It's the foundation of the business.

But for many teams, the ATS becomes more of a storage system than a growth engine.

That's exactly what we set out to change when we partnered with LaborEdge.


The Goal of the Partnership

From the beginning, the focus was simple:

Help agencies get more value from the data they already have.

Not by replacing workflows.
Not by adding complexity.

But by enhancing what's already working.


Immediate Impact: Data You Can Actually Use

One of the first things we do when a new agency comes on board is a historical data cleanup.

On average, we're able to update around 60% of the candidate profiles recruiters have engaged with in the last six months.

This process often surfaces candidates that were previously buried in notes or outdated fields.

In many cases, recruiters can start making submissions almost immediately using candidates they had forgotten about.


Giving Recruiters Their Time Back

Another major impact we see is time savings.

Recruiters are saving 1 to 1.5 hours per day by reducing manual searching and data cleanup.

That time gets redirected toward what actually drives placements:

Building relationships
Engaging candidates
Moving quickly when jobs open


Amplifying What's Already Working

One of the most important parts of this partnership is that Ember doesn't replace your recruiting strategy.

It amplifies it.

The workflows your team already uses become faster, cleaner, and more effective.

Instead of starting from scratch, recruiters are building on a stronger foundation.


From Lead Spend to Database Placements

As data improves and access becomes easier, agencies naturally begin shifting where their placements come from.

Instead of relying heavily on top-of-funnel lead generation, they begin driving more placements from their existing database.

This leads to:

Lower acquisition costs
Stronger candidate relationships
Faster submissions


A Better Recruiter Experience

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we hear from recruiters is simple:

"Ember is making recruiting fun again."

When systems support their work instead of slowing them down, everything changes.


At the end of the day, this partnership isn't about adding more technology.

It's about making your existing system work better.

Because your database isn't just where your data lives.

It's where your growth comes from.
