With 5+ years of experience refining recruitment and hiring, I ensure every answer is clear, accurate, and actionable, helping HR leaders and hiring teams trust and apply what they read.
Candidate rediscovery software integrates with enterprise HRIS and ATS systems through each platform's API. It uses credentials that allow reading candidate and job data and writing match scores or tags back into the system. This approach is more effective than a generic one-size-fits-all connector. The specific mechanics vary by platform, so confirm the integration method for your systems before assuming compatibility.
Workday integration usually requires an Integration System User set up with OAuth 2.0 authentication and permissions across the HCM, Recruiting, and Talent Management domains. Custom fields must be mapped on the Job Application object for match scores and reasons. SAP SuccessFactors integration relies on OAuth 2.0 credentials and custom fields provisioned in the 4000 series for recruiting data. OData API access may need extra coordination if any HCM components are still on-premise. Both setups generally include webhook support for instant triggering, with a fallback to polling every 10 to 15 minutes when webhooks are unavailable.
Rediscovery software like Skima AI connects to enterprise platforms such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, and Bullhorn through each system's API. It follows the same pattern of scoped credentials and mapped custom fields. Results sync back into the original ATS or HRIS through the same API connection, ensuring hiring manager feedback remains on record without needing a second tool.
Setting up enterprise systems is not a one-click process. It usually requires coordination between your IT or HRIS team and the vendor to configure permissions, custom fields, and webhook endpoints correctly before testing on live requisitions.
