Welcome to Minotaur ATS
Minotaur ATS is a cloud-based Applicant Tracking System built for recruiting and staffing teams who want to manage their entire hiring workflow in one place — from creating a job opening all the way to placing a candidate.
Whether you're a solo recruiter or part of a large team, Minotaur helps you stay organized, collaborate easily, and focus on what matters most: connecting great people with great opportunities.
What Can You Do with Minotaur?
Here's a quick look at what the platform lets you do:
📋 Manage Jobs Create and track job openings linked to your clients. You can also connect jobs directly to job boards so incoming applicants land in your pipeline automatically — no manual entry needed.
👤 Manage Candidates Build a searchable candidate database that grows with your business. Upload resumes one by one or in bulk, track each candidate across hiring stages, and email them directly from the platform.
🏢 Manage Clients Keep all your client accounts organized in one spot. Assign team members, track job requests, manage guest access, and follow revenue — all from a single client profile.
🤝 Collaborate with Your Team Add recruiters and consultants to jobs and clients, share notes and attachments, and keep everyone on the same page with activity logs and task tracking.
🔍 Resume Database — Source Candidates Proactively ⭐ Flagship feature Don't wait for candidates to come to you. Minotaur gives you access to a continuously growing database of over 130 million professional contacts worldwide, ready to search at any time. Filter by job title, skills, location, years of experience, education, and more — then unlock the profiles you want using credits. It's one of the most powerful ways to find the right talent fast.
🤲 Collaborative Database — Earn Credits by Contributing Here's something unique: every time you add a candidate to Minotaur who isn't already in the shared database, you automatically earn a credit. That means the more talent you bring in, the more you get back. It's a community-driven model where everyone benefits from contributing — your candidates grow the database, and the database grows your reach.
📊 Track & Report Get visibility into what's working with built-in reports covering recruiter performance, job pipeline, candidate activity, and more. Export to Excel or view charts right in the platform.
