🤝 Ascendify | Export

SeekOut integrates with Ascendify, allowing you to export candidate data from SeekOut and turn it into Ascendify candidate profiles complete with contact information and work/education history. Candidate data can be sent to Ascendify attached to an existing job.

This article covers how to set up your integration, as well as how to export candidate info from SeekOut to Ascendify.

Setting up the Ascendify Integration

Before You Begin

You'll need to create a new API key in Ascendify. Save this API key to a safe place; you'll be entering it in SeekOut.

Accessing Integrations

Click your name at the bottom left of the SeekOut dashboard, then select Integrations.

Don't see the Integrations option in your menu? Contact your Customer Success Manager or support@seekout.com and ask to enable ATS integrations for your org.

Connecting to Ascendify

On the Integrations page, click + Add a Connection. Locate Ascendify from the list of integrations and click the Connect button.

Note: If you have set up an integration previously, click the + next to the list of integrations at the top of the page to open the Add a Connection pop-up.

On the Capabilities tab, check the box next to Export. Click Confirm Choices to continue to the next step.

On the Credentials tab, enter your API Key from Ascendify and select Production as your Environment.

Click Submit to save your credentials, then click Next. SeekOut will automatically attempt to verify your connection when you first set it up by exporting a test candidate as a prospect or to a job in the populated jobs list. Choose either Export as Prospect or select a job from the jobs list and click Verify.

When the ‘All Good’ message appears, click Finish and login to your ATS to ensure the test candidate has been successfully added. When successful, Ascendify will appear at the top of your Integrations page with a green check mark.

Removing the Integration

On the Integrations page, click the arrow next to a connected integration to Edit or Remove the integration from your SeekOut account.

Exporting from SeekOut to Ascendify

Recommended: Export from a project

To export all candidates in a project to Ascendify, go to your SeekOut project, click the Export icon and choose Export All to Ascendify.

Contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers will only appear in your export if you click Get Email for All and Get Phone for All before exporting.

Alternatively, you can export select candidates from SeekOut by clicking the box next to their profile, clicking Export and then selecting Export X to Ascendify. With both methods, clicking Export to Ascendify will cause a pop-up window will appear.

You can select a job from the dropdown menu. If you don't have email addresses for all candidates, check the box Generate dummy email addresses for candidates.  Click the Export button to export candidates to Ascendify. When successful, you will see a confirmation pop-up message that says "Export Complete."

Export from Search

You can export candidate profiles while on the search page as well. Click More at the top right of the search results and select Export to Ascendify and SeekOut will export all of the candidates on the page to your ATS.

Additional Notes

Duplicate Profiles

By default, SeekOut will not transmit profiles that have already been successfully exported. Candidates that have been exported will display a confirmation icon and the name of your ATS in their SeekOut profile.

Check the box Include previously exported candidate(s) if you're exporting the same candidates to your ATS again.

NOTE: Ascendify does not check for duplicates through their API. Additional exports of the same candidate will result in duplicate profiles in your ATS.

What do dummy emails look like?

When you check the box "Generate dummy email addresses" before exporting to your ATS, then SeekOut will create email addresses and send them along with each candidate who doesn't already have an email associated with their SeekOut profile.

The email addresses generated by SeekOut will look similar to these examples:

• no-email--352233856@seekout.example.com

• no-email--828794187@seekout.example.com

• no-email-1047659244@seekout.example.com
