## Overview

### Key benefits of EBMS

Unique Features of the EBMS (Empfehlungsbund Applicant Management System)

1. Turning Rejections into Recommendations
The EBMS solves a key recruiting problem: what happens to strong candidates who almost got hired but were not selected? Instead of losing them, EBMS transforms rejections into recommendations. With the candidate’s consent, profiles are shared with other member companies – keeping valuable talent in the system.

2. Commission-Free Candidate Sharing
Unlike headhunters or job portals that charge high fees, EBMS is based on cooperation. Companies recommend qualified candidates to each other at no extra cost. Membership covers unlimited access to recommendations – a transparent and cost-efficient alternative to traditional recruiting.

3. Regional and Industry-Specific Job Communities
EBMS connects to more than 15 specialized job communities across Germany. These cover both regions (e.g., Saxony, Bavaria) and industries (e.g., IT, healthcare, engineering). Each job posting is automatically published in the right networks, ensuring targeted visibility instead of getting lost on generic portals.

4. Faster Time-to-Hire
Because EBMS offers pre-qualified candidates already screened by other employers, hiring moves much faster. Members report interviews within 7 days on average – far quicker than conventional recruiting channels.

5. Ready to Use – No Setup Effort
EBMS is designed for immediate use. Unlike many ATS solutions, it requires no costly process workshops or IT projects. The system comes with templates and workflows that can be directly configured. Multiple individual recruiting processes can run in parallel, and integration of subsidiaries or branch offices is supported – including candidate sharing across locations.

6. Seamless Candidate Experience Without Registration
Applicants do not need to register or create an account to track their application status. This lowers barriers and improves transparency for candidates, while still giving employers full process control.

7. Adaptive and Easy to Configure
Once configured, EBMS can be adjusted with just a few clicks. The system “learns” from typical processes and feedback patterns, so recruiters can quickly assemble workflows without programming knowledge. This flexibility ensures the system grows with your organization.

8. Improved Candidate Experience
For applicants, EBMS changes the meaning of rejection. Instead of a final “no,” they gain access to new opportunities with other employers. This raises satisfaction, strengthens employer reputation, and fosters positive word of mouth.

9. Transparent Flat-Rate Model
Recruiting costs are often unpredictable – from per-posting fees to commissions. EBMS eliminates this uncertainty with a flat-rate membership covering all postings and recommendations.

10. A Cooperative Recruiting Ecosystem
The true strength of EBMS is its network effect. Hundreds of companies in Germany have already exchanged thousands of candidates. Each employer benefits from others – and contributes in return.

11. More Than an ATS
Most systems only manage applications. EBMS goes further by combining structured ATS features with job board distribution, cooperative recommendations, adaptive workflows, and employer branding. It is not just a tool – it is a future-oriented recruiting strategy.

## Reviews

### "Über viele Jahre zuverlässiges System" — 5.0/5

> **Stefan** | *24 November 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Im System ist alles drin, was wir brauchen. Wir verwenden es mit vielen Nutzenden im Unternehmen und die meisten Dinge erklären sich von selbst. Der Wartungsaufwand für das System selbst ist also übersichtlich. Zudem funktioniert das System sehr stabil und zuverlässig\!
> 
> **Cons**: Kein richtiger Nachteil: Durch die vielen Fälle, die abgedeckt werden müssen, ist die Anzahl von Vorlagen und Einstellungen natürlich auch immens. Da den Überblick zu behalten ist nicht immer einfach.
> 
> Wir verwenden das EBMS bereits sehr vielen Jahren und sind damit sehr zufrieden. Es lässt sich ordentlich bedienen und macht was es soll. Veränderungen werden behutsam vorgenommen und man muss nicht jedes Monat alles neu erlernen wie bei anderen Systemen... Wir nutzen es gerne und effektiv. :-)

### "Rundum Sorglospaket - Wunschlos glücklich" — 5.0/5

> **Thomas** | *12 March 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Abbildung des gesamten Prozesse von Stellenanzeigen, Personalmarketing (Jobbörsenstreuung), Empfehlungsprinzip, Zielgruppenanalyse, Bewerbermanagement, Vertragsmanagement, OnBoarding, Schnittstellen zu vielen Systemen
> 
> **Cons**: Wir haben intensiv verschiedene Systeme verglichen und dabei konnte nur das EBMS vom Empfehlungsbund vollständig überzeugen.
> 
> Aufgrunddessen, dass es von den 400 Mitgliedern des Empfehlungsbundes, die alle Recruiter sind, regelmäßig weiterentwickelt wird, wurden die best-practices implementiert.

### "Das ist Personalakquise 2.0" — 5.0/5

> **Martin** | *23 March 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Die Reichweite sowohl lokal als auch im gesamten Bundesgebiet
- Der kompetente \& freundliche Support durch das Empfehlungsbund Team
- Die umfangreiche Auswahl an weitern Karrieretools, die Bestandteil der Mitgliedschaft sind
> 
> **Cons**: Über den Preis kann man natürlich immer streiten :-) Im Vergleich zu den angebotenen Leistungen empfinde ich den preis als fair und gerechtfertigt. Zumal sich das Pricing an der Unternehmensgröße orientiert.
> 
> Wir sind bereits seit über 5 Jahren Mitglieder und intensive Nutzer dieses Karrierenetzwerkes. Was wir in dieser Zeit besonders zu schätzen gelernt haben sind: Die Reichweite des Netzwerkes, die für dieses Preis aus unserer Sicht unschlagbar ist. Der sehr freundliche, offene und lösungsorientierte Austausch mit dem Team hinter dem Empfehlungsbund. Und die kostenfreie Nutzung zahlreicher weiterer Tools, die man uns als Mitglied zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Wie das Digitale Bewerbermanagementtool, das uns die Bearbeitung von Bewerbungen massiv vereinfacht und von anderen Anbieter noch einmal hohe zusätzliche Kosten verursachen würde. Wir sind und bleiben deshalb überzeugt vom Empfehlungsbund und freuen uns auf die weitere Zusammenarbeit\!

It was designed to solve one of the most overlooked problems in recruiting: what happens to strong candidates who were not hired? Instead of losing valuable talent, EBMS transforms rejections into recommendations and connects employers in a unique cooperative recruiting network.\n\nUnlike conventional ATS solutions that only manage applications internally, EBMS actively creates value beyond your company. Every candidate who reaches the later stages of your process but cannot be hired can, with a simple link in your rejection letter, be recommended to other member companies. This process is fully GDPR-compliant, effortless to set up, and requires no manual handling. The result: candidates get a new opportunity instead of a dead end – and employers gain access to a pool of highly qualified, pre-screened applicants without paying any commission.\n\nWhy EBMS is different:\n\nAutomatic Talent Recommendations\n– Rejections turn into recommendations across the network. Hundreds of employers in Germany have already exchanged thousands of candidates – directly, securely, and without intermediaries.\n\nTargeted Candidate Reach\n– EBMS integrates seamlessly with over 15 regional and industry-specific job communities (e.g., IT, healthcare, engineering). This ensures that your jobs are seen by the right audience, increasing application quality significantly.\n\nFaster Time-to-Hire\n– Member companies report interview invitations within just 7 days on average. Because EBMS delivers pre-qualified applicants who have already been screened by other employers, hiring decisions are accelerated dramatically.\n\nZero Commission, Transparent Costs\n– Unlike headhunters or job portals, EBMS works without placement fees. Membership provides unlimited access to candidate recommendations and a flat rate for publishing all your job postings.\n\nEffortless Integration into Processes\n– Companies simply adapt their standard rejection letters to include an EBMS recommendation link. From that point on, the system automatically takes care of forwarding candidates into the community. Minimal effort, maximum effect.\n\nEnhanced Candidate Experience &amp; Employer Branding\n– Applicants appreciate that their efforts are not wasted. Instead of a rejection, they receive a fair chance with another employer. This improves candidate satisfaction, boosts recommendation rates, and strengthens your employer brand.\n\nEBMS is more than an applicant tracking system – it is a cooperative recruiting platform. It combines all the essential features of an ATS with a unique employer-to-employer recommendation network, extended job board distribution, and measurable improvements in hiring speed, cost efficiency, and candidate experience.\n\nWith EBMS you don’t just manage applications – you become part of a community where employers help each other succeed, and where candidates receive the opportunities they deserve.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/5a79ea3f-2748-4ad1-a239-e4ae82000f52.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2045771/ebms","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2045771/ebms#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.3,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":23},"offers":{"price":"3304","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"EUR"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)","position":2,"item":"/directory/253/applicant-tracking/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"EBMS","position":3,"item":"/software/2045771/ebms","@type":"ListItem"}],"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2045771/ebms#breadcrumblist"}]}
