Robin Walter Scherler
Last position:
Developer at agentic-engineer.online
agentic-engineer.online is my publicly testable live demo and at the same time the platform where I show my work. Originally created as a recruitment trial task, I have since continued to run it as my own demo, learning, and product project — on a Hetzner VPS behind a Cloudflare tunnel, through a multi-stage AI-orchestrated deploy pipeline with snapshot rollback. If a deploy step breaks, the system falls back to the last clean snapshot, the script is adjusted, the test repeated — empirical, test-driven, without hand tuning.
- Technically behind it: Python and FastAPI, an OpenRouter model cascade, SQLite persistence, and Cloudflare edge tuning.
- I am the developer and the strictest customer of my own AI work in one person — what started as a prototype has become a tool I use every day and against which I test my own products.

About the technology
ATS Basics
An Applicant Tracking System, or ATS, manages open roles, applications, and hiring steps in one place. It helps teams keep candidate data organized, move people through stages, and coordinate work between recruiters, hiring managers, and HR.
Common Work
- Configure stages, forms, and approval flows
- Set up job postings and career site processes
- Connect email, calendars, and assessment tools
- Improve search, tagging, and candidate notes
- Clean up data and import legacy records
Ecosystem
Strong ATS work often touches systems such as Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, SAP SuccessFactors, and iCIMS. Professionals also work with APIs, SSO, data exports, and reporting tools so the ATS fits the rest of the hiring stack.
When To Bring Help
Companies usually bring in freelance specialists when the ATS rollout is stuck, the workflow is too complex, or integrations keep failing. This is also common during migrations, template changes, and process redesigns for teams in Germany that need clear coordination across local and remote stakeholders.
What Good Looks Like
A strong specialist understands recruiting operations, data structure, permissions, and user adoption. They keep the setup simple, document changes clearly, and test real hiring scenarios instead of only checking basic configuration.
Search Terms
People often search for ATS, Applicant Tracking System, or vendor names like Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and SAP SuccessFactors. The right expert understands the product and the hiring process behind it, so the system works for both recruiters and candidates.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Applicant Tracking System, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
An Applicant Tracking System is used to manage job openings, applications, candidate stages, and hiring communication in one place. It helps teams track who applied, who advanced, and what still needs attention. Good setups also support reporting, permissions, and clean candidate records.
An ATS focuses on recruiting work, while broader HR suites often cover onboarding, employee data, payroll links, and other people processes. Many companies use an ATS as a dedicated front end for hiring and connect it to a wider HR stack. The best choice depends on how much control the hiring team needs.
A Applicant Tracking System project often involves tools like Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and SAP SuccessFactors. It may also touch calendars, email, assessment tools, SSO, and reporting layers. A good specialist knows how these pieces fit together without breaking the hiring flow.
Ask which workflow the specialist has handled, whether they have done data migration, and how they approach integrations and permissions. For a ATS project, it also helps to know how they test changes with real hiring scenarios. Clear answers here usually tell you more than a long list of tool names.
A Applicant Tracking System project can be simple or complex depending on the process, number of user groups, and integrations. Basic configuration may need only focused expertise, while migrations or multi-team redesigns need someone who has handled similar rollouts before. Look for direct experience with the same product and use case.
Yes, most ATS work can be done remotely because it usually depends on system access, workshops, and testing, not on-site presence. For teams in Germany, remote collaboration often works well if process owners, HR, and IT stay available for review. On-site sessions can still help during kickoff or change management.
A strong Applicant Tracking System specialist understands both the software and the hiring process. They build clear stages, keep data clean, handle edge cases, and avoid overcomplicating the setup. They also document decisions so recruiters can work confidently after the project ends.
Useful skills around Applicant Tracking System work include recruiting operations, process mapping, data migration, API integration, reporting, and access management. Communication matters too, because the specialist often has to align HR, talent teams, and IT. In practice, the best results come from people who can translate hiring needs into system design.
