Does candidate rediscovery software integrate with Bullhorn or other staffing ATS/CRMs?

Yes, most established candidate rediscovery tools integrate directly with Bullhorn and other staffing-specific ATS and CRM platforms through each system's own API, rather than requiring you to switch to a separate standalone tool. Bullhorn itself has no built-in automated rediscovery feature, only manual tools like Advanced Search, Fast Find, and redeployment search for candidates with expiring placements.
Software like Skima AI connects to staffing platforms including:
- Bullhorn, through its REST API, with read access to Candidate, JobSubmission, Attachment, and Job records, and write access to Note, CustomField, and Tag objects.
- JobDiva, Ceipal, Crelate, and Avionté, each through their own API integration, following the same pattern of scoped read and write access.
A typical Bullhorn setup involves generating an OAuth client or API key. Then, you configure custom fields under Admin and Field Mappings for Match Score, Reasons, and Shortlist Link. You also set up HM Feedback and HM Comment fields for manager responses. Webhooks trigger instant scoring on new submissions or stage changes. Without webhook support, the connection checks for updates every 10 to 15 minutes instead.
Once connected, results write back directly into your existing system. In Bullhorn specifically, match scores, reasons, and hiring manager feedback sync back through the REST API as custom fields and activity notes. This allows recruiters to keep working inside the ATS they already use, rather than logging into a second platform to check results.
