HireClix, a leading recruitment marketing services company, has launched Quick Apply, a new career site enhancement that allows candidates to apply directly from the employer’s career site by passing their information seamlessly into the applicant tracking system (ATS). This feature eliminates the need for cumbersome logins and lengthy forms, helping employers convert high-intent candidates more effectively while improving the overall candidate experience.

Quick Intel

  • HireClix launches Quick Apply, enabling direct applications from career sites to ATS without logins or long forms.
  • Feature addresses common pain points, as 36% of job seekers abandon applications due to length or poor navigation per HireClix’s 2025 Candidate Experience Survey.
  • Quick Apply integrates with all major ATS platforms and can be applied universally or to specific jobs/segments.
  • Particularly valuable for hard-to-fill roles and niche positions where reducing friction retains high-quality, in-demand candidates.
  • Employers can customize fields to gather essential information quickly while maintaining recruiter engagement potential.
  • Latest in HireClix’s series of candidate-focused career site improvements, following Second Chance Pages launch last month.

Reducing Friction in the Application Process

In the current talent market, extra steps during the application process—such as redirecting candidates to separate ATS login pages—often lead to drop-offs, especially among qualified applicants. HireClix’s Quick Apply streamlines this journey by keeping candidates on the career site, where they can submit key information directly into the ATS. This simplification boosts conversion rates and protects employer branding by delivering a smoother, more professional experience.

Enhancing Employer Branding and Talent Attraction

“When we help recruiting teams thoughtfully recognize ways to improve the candidate experience, we give their employer brand a boost and help them attract a higher caliber of talent,” said Neil Costa, CEO and Founder at HireClix. “Too many systems and solutions ignore the basic needs and behavior of the applicant, and as a result, organizations pay the price for that bad experience. Their employer brand is impacted by this negative experience, discouraging quality candidates who may choose to opt out of a challenging application process.”

By minimizing barriers, Quick Apply helps organizations stand out in competitive hiring landscapes, particularly for technical, specialized, or high-demand roles where top talent is scarce and less tolerant of complicated processes.

Flexible Implementation for Targeted Impact

Quick Apply is available as an optional add-on for customers using HireClix’s enterprise career site solution. Employers can enable it across all job postings to increase overall applicant volume or selectively activate it for challenging positions that require extra conversion support. Custom fields allow recruiters to collect just the right information to initiate meaningful engagement without overwhelming candidates.

“While the Quick Apply functionality successfully supports any job posting, it’s especially beneficial for extremely difficult-to-fill and niche jobs. When the potential applicant pool is already small, recruiters need to reduce friction so they create an ease of use uncommon in most career sites for hard-to-find candidates. Quick Apply ensures those in-demand candidates don’t have to suffer through a long and arduous application process, with the goal of getting enough information into the ATS that the recruiter can engage the applicant,” Costa continued.

This launch reinforces HireClix’s ongoing commitment to candidate-centric innovations that align recruitment technology with real-world applicant behavior.
