ATS Integrations OverviewUpdated 2 months ago

FactoryFix's ATS integration streamlines your recruiting process by automatically syncing jobs and candidates between your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and FactoryFix. While traditional recruiters manually copy-paste jobs and candidates between systems, FactoryFix's integration eliminates this tedious work - letting Copilot focus on what matters: finding and engaging qualified candidates.

The integration handles two core processes:

  1. Pulling your jobs from your ATS to FactoryFix
  2. Sending qualified candidates from FactoryFix to your ATS


Supported ATS Systems

We integrate with major ATS platforms including:

  • Workday
  • SAP SuccessFactors
  • UKG Pro
  • Greenhouse
  • iCIMS
  • Oracle Recruiting Cloud
  • Lever
  • SmartRecruiters
  • Bullhorn
  • Eightfold

See our Supported ATS Systems page for a complete list.

Feature support varies by ATS. Key differences include:

  • Screening question sync capabilities
  • Application update methods
  • Source tracking implementation
  • Authentication requirements

How Jobs Sync Works

Job Sync Basics

  • Every three hours, FactoryFix automatically pulls all your live US-based jobs from your ATS
  • Each job appears in FactoryFix with Copilot disabled by default
  • When jobs are removed or archived in your ATS, they automatically archive in FactoryFix
  • You can still edit synced jobs in FactoryFix as needed

Important Job Sync Details

  • Once you enable Copilot for a job, updates in your ATS won't sync to FactoryFix to avoid disrupting Copilot's optimization
  • Job fields like title, description, and location sync automatically (specific fields vary by ATS)
  • Screening questions from your ATS can sync to FactoryFix for most supported systems


How Candidate Sync Works

Application Sync Options

You can choose how applications sync to your ATS:

  1. Default: New and Engaged Sync
    • Applications sync immediately when candidates apply ("New" status)
    • Updates sync when candidates complete screening ("Engaged" status)
  2. Engaged-Only Sync
    • Applications only sync after candidates complete screening
    • Good for reducing unqualified applications in your ATS

Redirect to Careers Page Option

For organizations with strict compliance requirements, we offer the option to have candidates apply directly on your careers page. We strongly recommend against this unless absolutely necessary, as most candidates drop off rather than complete a second application and it prevents Copilot from properly screening candidates.

If your organization requires this option:

  • Instead of FactoryFix's screening, candidates receive a link to your ATS application
  • This ensures all applications follow your standard process
  • Can be enabled company-wide or per job

Application Updates

When candidates progress in FactoryFix, we send updates to your ATS including:

  • A comprehensive PDF profile with work history, education, resume, and screening responses
  • A direct link back to the FactoryFix conversation thread
  • Copilot's candidate assessment and scoring
  • Note: We don't currently sync application status changes (like rejections) back to your ATS


Source Tracking

  • All applications from FactoryFix are properly tagged in your ATS
  • This works automatically for most ATS systems
  • Some enterprise ATS systems may need additional channel configuration


Important Notes

  • Jobs sync every 3 hours - please allow time for updates to appear
  • Only US-based jobs are currently synced
  • You can only connect one ATS per FactoryFix organization
  • Manually created FactoryFix jobs don't sync back to your ATS
  • The integration preserves all your ATS compliance and tracking requirements
