How Candidate Matching Works

SeekOut matches the profile data from your ATS with the up-to-date candidate profile in SeekOut. SeekOut will use ATS data you provide to do this match, including:

  • Name, company, title, or other fields

  • LinkedIn profile URL

  • PDF resume

We use this data only to find the correct person in SeekOut and note whether they are in your ATS or not. This information is not shared with any other SeekOut customer and is deleted once the match is attempted.

This matching process happens regularly (typically daily or weekly) so new candidates in your ATS are always matched with their profile in SeekOut.

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.
