How to Choose the Best ATS for Your Small Business

Introduction

At many small businesses, hiring involves spreadsheets, emails, AirTable and Notion, and other general-purpose digital tools.

This guide provides some general info on the topic, highlighting why we believe FirstWho is the best option for small businesses.
