Does candidate rediscovery software integrate with our ATS?

Most candidate rediscovery software integrates directly with major ATS platforms through the ATS's own API, without needing custom middleware. Whether a specific tool supports your exact ATS depends on the vendor, so confirm this before assuming compatibility.
A typical integration connects using your ATS's own REST API or OAuth credentials, generated from your account settings, with read access to pull candidate profiles, job requisitions, and resumes, and write access to log match scores, tags, or notes back into your ATS.
A small number of custom fields, like a match score and a screened tag, track results directly inside your existing system. Some ATS platforms support instant triggering through webhooks; without that support, tools typically check for updates every 10 to 15 minutes instead.
Candidate rediscovery software Skima AI integrates directly with ATS platforms including Greenhouse, Lever, Ceipal, Bullhorn, and several others, using each platform's own API rather than a generic connector. The setup process is consistent across platforms: connect credentials, configure a few fields, test on two or three live job openings, then turn on automatic scanning.
Before choosing a tool, ask the vendor directly whether they support your specific ATS by name, what access permissions the integration requires, and whether a recruiting operations lead can complete setup alone or whether it needs your IT team's involvement.
