Finding the right recruitment software as a small or medium-sized business isn’t straightforward. Too many applicant tracking systems are built for large enterprise teams. They’re complex to set up, expensive to run, and packed with features you’ll never use.
Reach ATS was built to change that. And now, independent industry experts agree.
At the IHR Supplier Awards 2026, Reach ATS took home a Silver Award for ATS for SMEs. On its very first entry. What’s more the applicant tracking software was named a finalist in two additional categories: ATS for Enterprise, and Customer Experience.
It’s a result that reflects what the software has always been designed to do: give growing businesses the recruitment tools they need, without the enterprise price tag or unnecessary complexity.
Deb Cox, Sales Director at Reach ATS, explains: “We never see ourselves as selling software, it’s about forging partnerships. To be recognised by industry experts for how we support SMEs is a real validation of all that hard work. It’s wonderful.”
What SMEs really need from an ATS
Recruitment for small and medium-sized businesses looks different to recruitment at scale. Hiring teams are often lean. Budgets are tighter. The cost of a bad hire is very apparent.
What SMEs need from an applicant tracking system is straightforward.
That’s what Reach ATS delivers. Bespoke, fully customisable recruitment software, built to help organisations hire faster, fairer and smarter – exactly what you’d expect from an ATS for small businesses.
