A useful comparison follows the same case in both products. Read publisher-documented capabilities, then check steps, permissions and exports in a demo: the platforms may cover different parts of the process.

Define the outcome and records
For this topic the control starts with CVs and applications for ChatGPT, access controls and shortlist review.
An ATS organizes applications, vacancies, stages and feedback. A candidate database retains profiles beyond one hiring process; a recruiting CRM connects client relationships to open searches. One person can have several applications, each with its own status.
Record vacancy requirements and criteria, link a candidate, assign the interview and save feedback and next action on the application. Test two vacancies for one profile: history must distinguish the decisions.
A pilot on the complete workflow
Test a CV using an acronym and one spelling out the same skill. Matching should show evidence and missing records; a ranking alone does not establish that a requirement is met.
Before the demo, write three required outcomes and one acceptable tradeoff. Value recovered time only after measuring on the same basis. Have the actual owner complete a cycle and retain errors, corrections and final output. If the pilot stops halfway, identify the missing module, integration or step in the quotation.
Rules, exceptions and work cost
Define who enters, corrects and approves records. Test an incomplete record, a duplicate and a change after closure. The decision changes when records can be exported with relationships rather than manually reconstructed. Count licenses, onboarding, team time and integration maintenance separately.
