What is API Integration?
An API integration is a connection that allows an ATS to exchange data automatically with other systems, such as payroll, background check providers, or job boards, without manual re-entry.
Why does API Integration matter?
Integrations eliminate duplicate data entry between systems, reducing errors and freeing recruiters and HR staff from manually copying information between the ATS and every other tool in the stack.
How does API Integration work?
The ATS and the other system connect through a defined API, exchanging data like candidate records, job postings, or billing information automatically whenever a relevant update occurs, on a schedule or in real time.
