Source candidates
How to source candidates, push applications to customer ATS platforms, and track share of hire using the Merge ATS API.
Your users authorize your application to access their ATS platform by going through an authorization flow using Merge Link. Merge begins syncing your customer's data.
Your product will display the open roles, for your customers to source for. Existing and open Jobs can be automatically pulled in via Merge, using the Jobs Object.
Recruiters begin sourcing candidates via LinkedIn or your existing database.
Once recruiters identify a candidate, you'll want to send their application back to their ATS of choice.
Use the
**POST** /Applications
endpoint to create applications for new or existing candidates in your customers' third-party ATS platform. (Note if you need to include screening question answers, that is supported as a submodel within POST /Application).
Use
**POST** /Candidate
only if you need to create a candidate that is not associated with a particular job.
You can get updates on the status of a job, such as it being closed, with Receiving and Emitting Webhooks
Display your value to your customers by showing the share of hire, based on the number of candidates that have been successfully hired through your product. Use the source, credited_to, and current_stage fields on the Applications Object to track the application as it moves through stages.
