This feature is available for users with Professional and Enterprise licenses.

This article covers the permissions needed to set up the Applicant Review integration between SeekOut and SmartRecruiters. With this integration you can pull open jobs and applicants from your ATS allowing SeekOut to display, filter, enrich, and rank prospects for each job requisition.

Before You Begin

You need to create a new API key in your SmartRecruiters account.

Note 1: Please contact your Customer Success Manager or our support team so we can coordinate your integration setup.

Note 2: The email you use to login to SeekOut and the email you use to login to SmartRecruiters much match exactly. See the article How can I change the email address I use to sign into SeekOut for help updating your SeekOut login email.

Note 3: If you have an existing SmartRecruiters integration (i.e. ATS Export, Talent Rediscovery, etc.) you do not need to create an additional API key. Skip to the section Connecting to SmartRecruiters and utilize your existing key / SmartToken.

Create your API Key / SmartToken

Login to your SmartRecruiters account, click your user icon at the top right, and select Settings / Admin. On the settings page, select Apps & Integrations from the Administration section.

Webhooks

SeekOut will automatically create the following webhooks in your SmartRecruiters instance:

  • candidate.deleted

    • This webhook notifies SeekOut when a candidate is deleted in SmartRecruiters so matched candidates in the Your ATS tab are updated accurately.

  • job.status.updated

    • This webhook notifies SeekOut when a job is updated or deleted in SmartRecruiters so the job list in the Your ATS tab is updated accurately.
