Connecting to Thrive

On the Integrations page, click + Add a Connection. Locate Thrive 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 Export. Click Confirm Choices to continue to the next step.

On the Credentials tab, enter your API Token from Thrive in the Auth Token field and select Production in the Environment dropdown..

Click Submit to save your credentials, then click Next. SeekOut will automatically attempt to verify your connection when you first set it up by exporting a test candidate as a prospect or to a job in the populated jobs list. Choose either Export as Prospect or select a job from the jobs list and click Verify. When the ‘All Good’ message appears, click Finish and ensure the test candidate has been successfully added to your ATS.

When successful, Thrive 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.

Exporting from SeekOut to Thrive

Recommended: Export from a project

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

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 Thrive. With both methods, clicking Export to Thrive will cause a pop-up window will appear.

You can select a job from the dropdown menu or export the candidates as prospects. If you don't have email addresses for all candidates, check the box Generate dummy email addresses for candidates.  Click the Export button to export candidates to Thrive. When 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: Thrive does support duplicate check functionality. If you export the same candidate twice, their record will be updated in your ATS.

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
