iHire ATS Integration: An Easy, Fast & Secure Way to Hire Qualified Talent

In today’s quest for qualified talent, applicant tracking systems (ATSs) are valuable tools for recruiting with utmost efficiency and accuracy. These software solutions help employers automate the recruitment process by tracking applicants, resumes, and candidates through the stages of the hiring workflow. Research suggests 70% of large businesses and 20% of small and mid-sized businesses rely on an ATS to streamline their hiring process, and adoption will only grow as these technologies become more sophisticated.

To help our customers maximize the power of their applicant tracking systems, eliminate manual tasks, reduce redundancies, get more applies, and fill roles faster, iHire integrates with more than 50 ATSs. That means you’re able to post all your jobs with us – automatically – as your system seamlessly and securely syncs with ours, communicating data back and forth in real time.

What Is ATS Integration and How Does It Work With iHire?

ATS integration works by connecting your software with our platform. This is a simple process that requires just a few clicks on your end (we’ll even walk you through it). During the connection step, you’ll authorize your ATS to share certain information, including job postings, candidate disposition data, and prescreening questions. Once this step is complete, the integration will begin working within 48 hours. We can also integrate with an XML feed or a link to your career site.

From there, we will publish all the jobs from your ATS, but you’ll be able to select which jobs we’ll prioritize and promote for maximum exposure to targeted candidates. The number of promoted jobs depends on the amount of Job Slots in your subscription, and you can always upgrade to more Slots if needed. Note that promoted jobs tend to get 14 times more responses than basic jobs – those that are imported from your ATS but are not advertised through a paid Job Slot.  

At any time, you can create, prioritize, edit, or remove rules for which jobs you’d like to promote, based on keywords, location, career title, and company.

ATS Integration Benefits

Integrating your ATS with iHire makes recruiting easier than ever. Consider the following ATS integration benefits:

Drive More Applies and Fill Roles Faster

If your ATS supports it, candidates from iHire can apply to your jobs directly on our platform. This means you’ll see a higher apply rate and reduced drop-offs due to a more positive candidate experience. In fact, iHire's apply process delivers six times more applies on average.

Manage All Jobs and Candidates From iHire Without Ever Leaving Your ATS

Simplify how you manage your candidates, applications, and other recruiting data – we’ll send all your applications directly to your ATS in real time, so you won’t need to jump from system to system.

Get Better, More Accurate Candidate Matches

Any actions you take on candidates within your ATS as they move through the hiring process sync with our system (if your ATS supports this feature). Our machine learning technology will use that candidate disposition data to provide you with better-matching talent moving forward.
