ATS to Any HR App Integration: How to Connect Your ATS with Your HR Apps

With data integration, new hires move from your ATS into your payroll system automatically, candidate assessments and background checks run at your chosen point in the hiring process and report back onto the candidate profile, and your core HR system feeds your ATS recruiter accounts, employee profile updates, and foundational data. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

You decide which information you want to sync, and a data integration expert like Flexspring maps every field between the two systems and builds the connection. Custom integrations by Flexspring include unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. There is nothing for your team to install or maintain. The connection runs over a near real-time API-to-API connection rather than a scheduled file transfer.

With data integration, new hire data syncs from your ATS into payroll, including your custom fields, along with candidate assessment results, background check decisions, statuses and report links, employee profile updates, recruiter and hiring manager accounts, and foundational data such as locations, departments, legal entities, job codes, and job titles. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, and equity systems.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for your ATS with an HR app is fully deployed in 8–10 weeks, depending on complexity, once mapping and API access are in place. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

With data integration, when a hiring manager hits the new hire button in your ATS, the new employee’s information appears in your payroll system automatically — nobody retypes it. Recruiters stop doing data entry, candidates move through assessments and background checks without anyone chasing them, and Galloway’s talent acquisition team saves over 1,500 hours a year.

The best way to connect your ATS to your HR apps depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
