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
