Finding candidates previously sourced

I would love to hear different ways people organize to make it easier to find profiles or resumes of candidates previously sourced. I am finding with a large and growing ATS it is more difficult and taking longer to find candidates for new requirements. I seem to spend more time on new sourcing since takes a while to go through my ATS (have been using MaxHire for the past year).

I don't have a problem using LinkedIn Recruiter, it is easy to go through my saved profiles and projects as those were saved from a search using a specific search criteria. ATS is different and don't want to be too specific in searches as to not overlook someone, but if I don't it can be overwhelming especially for management/project management positions, which do a lot.

Maybe I am not using MaxHire correctly or should use others with it. Some of my co-workers track with spreadsheets and some also use paper files, but that seems to defeat the purpose of the technologies we have, though it was easy in the old days to grab a paper file of resumes to look through.

Appreciate any input.
