QUESTION 1

1.1 PLAN FOR LOGICAL AND PHYSICAL DESIGN OF THE ATS

Logical Design of the ATS

The logical design focuses on improving the hiring process at Larson Property Management
before thinking about technology. The aim is to create a clear, efficient, and paperless
recruitment system that meets business needs.

First, the HR team must define all recruitment steps. These include identifying job vacancies,
approving positions, analysing job requirements, advertising jobs, receiving applications,
screening candidates, conducting interviews, selecting suitable applicants, and placing them
in jobs. These steps must be organised into a smooth process so that no stage is delayed or
repeated unnecessarily.

Second, the system must allow easy tracking of applicants from the moment they apply until
they are hired. This will solve the current problem where files are lost or difficult to find. The
design must also ensure that managers can quickly search for candidates who meet job

1.1 PLAN FOR LOGICAL AND PHYSICAL DESIGN OF THE ATS

Second, the system must allow easy tracking of applicants from the moment they
apply until they are hired. This will solve the current problem where files are lost or
difficult to find. The design must also ensure that managers can quickly search for
candidates who meet job requirements.

Third, the logical design must support accurate reporting. The system should
generate reports on recruitment progress, number of applicants, and hiring
outcomes. This helps management make informed decisions.

The main goal of logical design is to improve HR processes and ensure that the
system supports the company’s growth and hiring needs (Johnson, Carlson and
Kavanagh, 2021).




Physical Design of the ATS

The physical design focuses on how the system will be built using technology. It
translates the improved HR processes into a working system with hardware and
software.

First, the company must choose a modern web based HRIS that supports online
applications and remote access. This will allow applicants to submit their information
