Direct answer
Vendor management in recruitment software lets hiring teams work with external recruitment partners while controlling job access, candidate submissions, pipeline visibility, and feedback from one central ATS.
The vendor coordination problem
When vendors submit candidates through email or spreadsheets, teams can lose track of source ownership, duplicate candidates, feedback status, and which roles each partner is supporting.
How Hyrix helps
Hyrix includes vendor-facing recruitment workflows that let partners contribute candidates while the main recruitment team keeps job, candidate, client, and reporting visibility centralized.
What to look for
A vendor workflow should support role-based access, candidate tracking, job visibility, duplicate checks, feedback loops, and reporting so external submissions do not become operational noise.
