This article covers how to set up your integration, as well as how to export candidate info from SeekOut to Phenom People.

Setting up the Phenom People Integration

Before You Begin

You will need to create a new account in Phenom People that has access to the Contact and Add Candidate APIs. You will be providing this username and password to SeekOut.

Important Note for Users Logging into Phenom People with SSO

SeekOut can't integrate with an SSO-enabled Phenom People account. Please ensure that the account you create has SSO logins disabled. See Phenom People support for help creating an account with SSO disabled.

Accessing Integrations

Click your name at the bottom left of the SeekOut dashboard, then select Integrations.

Click your name at the bottom left of the SeekOut dashboard and select Integrations to open the integrations page.

Note: Don't see the Integrations option in your menu? Contact your Customer Success Manager or support@seekout.com and ask to enable ATS integrations for your org.

On the Integrations page, click + Add a Connection to open the list of applicant tracking systems. If you've set up an integration with SeekOut before, your current integrations will be listed on this page. Click the plus sign + at the top of the page to open the ATS list.

If you already have an integration set up, you can add a new integration by clicking the plus sign at the top of the Integrations page.

Connecting to Phenom

On the Integrations page, click + Add a Connection. Locate Phenom from the list of integrations and click the Connect button.

On the Capabilities tab, check the box next to Export. Optionally, you can check Opt in Single SMS to create candidate records with the SMS Opt-In value sent as Yes/True during candidate exports. Click Confirm Choices to continue to the next step.

Enter your Phenom People email address and password, and select Production in the Environment dropdown.

Click Submit to save your credentials, then click Next.

On the Verify tab, click Authenticate. This will take you to your Phenom People login page. After logging in, you'll be redirected back to SeekOut's integration page. Choose either Export as Prospect or select a job from the jobs list and click Verify. SeekOut will send a test candidate to the job you selected. When the ‘All Good’ message appears, click Finish and ensure the test candidate has been successfully added to your ATS.

When successful, Phenom People will appear at the top of your Integrations page with a green check mark.

Removing the Integration

On the Integrations page, click the arrow next to a connected integration to Edit or Remove the integration from your SeekOut account.

Authentication

Phenom People uses OAuth and requires you to authenticate your connection before exporting for the first time.

Authenticate while on a Search page

While searching for candidates, click More at the top right of the candidate list. Click Authenticate with Phenom People and login to your Phenom People account. Authentication will automatically happen after you login. Once authentication is complete, the Authenticate with Phenom People option will change to Export to Phenom People.

Authenticate from within a Project

While in a SeekOut project and click Export at the top right of your candidates. Click Authenticate with Phenom People and login to your Phenom People account. Authentication will automatically happen after you login. Once authentication is complete, the Authenticate with Phenom People option will change to Export to Phenom People.

Note If you see an error message after clicking Authenticate with Phenom People, check to make sure that the email and password you entered in the previous step are valid, and that the account has the Contact and Add Candidate API permission.

Exporting from SeekOut to Phenom People

To export all candidates in a project to Phenom People, go to your SeekOut project, click the Export icon and choose Export All to Phenom People.

Note Contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers will only appear in your export if you click Get Email for All and Get Phone for All before exporting.

Alternatively, you can export select candidates from SeekOut by clicking the box next to their profile, clicking Export and then selecting Export X to Phenom People . With both methods, clicking Export to Phenom People will cause a pop-up window will appear.

You can select a job from the dropdown menu or export the candidates as prospects. If your ATS does not support candidate profiles without email addresses, check the box Generate dummy email addresses for candidates. Click the Export button to export candidates to Phenom People. If successful, you will see a confirmation pop-up message that says "Export Complete."

Additional Notes

Duplicate Profiles

By default, SeekOut will not transmit profiles that have already been successfully exported. Candidates that have been exported will display a confirmation icon and the name of your ATS in their SeekOut profile.

Check the box Include previously exported candidate(s) if you're exporting the same candidates to your ATS again.

Note: Phenom People does check for duplicate records. If you successfully export the same prospect twice, Phenom People will attempt to match the profile and update your records with the newly exported information.

What do dummy emails look like?

When you check the box "Generate dummy email addresses" before exporting to your ATS, then SeekOut will create email addresses and send them along with each candidate who doesn't already have an email associated with their SeekOut profile.

When you check the box 'Generate dummy email addresses' before exporting candidates, then SeekOut will create fake email addresses for any candidates who don't already have an email associated with their profile.

The email addresses generated by SeekOut will look similar to these examples:

  • no-email--352233856@seekout.example.com
