🤝 iCIMS Public | Rediscovery

This article is for setting up a two-way integration between SeekOut and iCIMS. To learn about the one-way export feature, see our article here.

Sort through candidate data from your ATS using SeekOut's powerful search engine and filters. Your iCIMS data is mirrored within SeekOut every day, and SeekOut enriches your data with social links, work history, and education. iCIMS Stage and Status filters are available in a collapsible search menu.

Setting up the iCIMS Integration

Before You Begin

Note Please contact your Customer Success Manager or our support team so we can coordinate your integration setup.

Contact iCIMS and tell them you want to integrate candidate matching with SeekOut. Request that they whitelist the following IP addresses for your integration:

Ask iCIMS support for a username, password, and CustomerID for a REST-based Candidate Matching integration that uses iCIMS public api. iCIMS will assign an Integration Specialist to assist with creating an integration user. Save this information to a safe place; you'll be entering it into SeekOut.

Accessing Integrations

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

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.

Connecting to iCIMS

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

Note: If you have set up an integration previously, click the + next to the list of integrations at the top of the page to open the Add a Connection pop-up.

On the Capabilities tab, check the box next to Rediscovery. Check the box next to Disable Attachments to import candidates without attachments like resumes and cover letters. Click Confirm Choices to continue to the next step.

On the Credentials tab, enter your username, password, and CustomerID provided to you by iCIMS support. Select Production in the Environment dropdown.

Click Submit to save your credentials. SeekOut will automatically attempt to verify your connection. When successful, iCIMS 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.
