ATS Auto-Submission
ATS auto-submission is the direct, automated filling and submitting of a job application on an employer's own Applicant Tracking System — as opposed to a bot operating a job board's "Easy Apply" flow under a candidate's account.
Employers receive applications through their own ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, SmartRecruiters, and others). ATS auto-submission means an automation tool fills and submits that employer's own application form directly.
This is a meaningfully different (and safer) approach than automation that operates a candidate's LinkedIn or job-board session to mass-apply via "Easy Apply" — that pattern risks the candidate's account being flagged or banned by the platform.
