Executive Summary

Breathe Recruitment is an applicant tracking add-on for Breathe HR, aimed at small businesses. Users create and share vacancies, post them on their own website and collect applications through a built-in application form, where applicants can attach documents such as cover letters and portfolios. Applicants are added to Breathe automatically when they apply, and users can add notes, shortlist, reject, archive or invite them to an interview. When someone is hired, changing their status to employee pulls their details across to the employee database.
