Working with your ATS

If your company uses an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), Consider can work with it in two ways: using your public ATS job listings to keep jobs on the job board up to date, and, when a direct ATS integration is configured, exchanging candidate information with your ATS.

Jobs from your ATS

Consider can identify jobs from the public careers pages provided by your ATS and display them on the job board.

When a new job is published at the source, it can be added to the job board. When a job is no longer open at the source, it is removed from the board.

To change the title, location, description, or other details of one of these jobs, update the job in your ATS. The job board will reflect the updated source information.

Applicants for these jobs continue through your normal ATS application process.

For more information about jobs on the board, see Your jobs.

Direct ATS integrations

A direct ATS integration allows Consider to use candidate information from your ATS in hiring workflows.

When an integration is available, Consider can help your team identify candidates who are already in your ATS and, where supported, use ATS information while reviewing talent and working in hiring projects.

The ATS features available to your team depend on the system your company uses and how the integration has been configured.

Download candidates as a CSV file

If direct ATS export is not available, or you need the candidate information in a file, you can download candidates from a project as a CSV.

1. Open the project stage containing the candidates.
2. Select Export.
3. Choose Download CSV file.
4. Select the available format and download the file.

Some export formats are designed for importing into common ATS platforms. The default CSV can also be opened in spreadsheet applications.

Identify candidates already in your ATS

When candidates are added to a hiring project, Consider can identify whether they are already present in your ATS when your workspace has a direct ATS integration.

Use this information when reviewing candidates so your team can check existing applicant or recruiting activity before starting new outreach.

If an ATS connection needs to be added or changed, contact your workspace Admin or Consider Support at support@consider.com.
