Integrating ForceHQ with your existing Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is vital for maintaining a single source of truth for your hiring data and automating your workflow. This guide explains our integration capabilities.
1. Supported ATS Platforms
ForceHQ offers native, one-click integrations with the industry's leading ATS platforms. Currently, we officially support full bi-directional sync with:
- Greenhouse
- Lever
- Workday (Enterprise plans only)
- Ashby
- SmartRecruiters
2. Setting up a Native Integration
To connect ForceHQ to a supported ATS like Greenhouse or Lever:
- Navigate to Settings > Integrations in ForceHQ.
- Find your ATS in the list and click Connect.
- You will be prompted to enter an API key or authenticate via OAuth, depending on the platform. (Refer to the specific integration tutorials for detailed steps on generating these keys in your ATS).
- Once authenticated, map your ForceHQ assessment stages to the corresponding stages in your ATS pipeline.
When configured correctly, triggering a specific stage in your ATS (e.g., moving a candidate to "Technical Screen") will automatically send a ForceHQ interview invitation. Once completed, the score and report link will automatically sync back to the candidate's profile in the ATS.
3. Custom API Integrations
If you use a proprietary ATS or a platform not listed above, you can build a custom integration using our RESTful API.
Navigate to Settings > API & Webhooks to generate a secure Bearer token. Our API documentation provides detailed endpoints for managing candidates, assigning assessments, and retrieving detailed JSON reports of interview results.
4. Webhook Configuration
Webhooks are essential for real-time data sync in custom integrations. Instead of polling our API, ForceHQ can push data directly to your system when specific events occur.
- Go to Settings > API & Webhooks and add a new webhook URL.
- Select the events you want to subscribe to, such as
assessment.completed,interview.started, orcandidate.flagged. - ForceHQ will send a POST request with the event payload to your specified URL immediately when the event triggers. Ensure your endpoint is configured to handle these incoming payloads securely.
By establishing a robust ATS integration, you eliminate manual data entry and create a seamless, automated experience for both your recruiting team and your candidates.
