Culture Index to Any ATS Integration: What Syncs and How

With data integration, applicant details move from your ATS into Culture Index as soon as someone applies or reaches the step you choose, Culture Index invites that applicant to take the survey automatically, and the results come back into your ATS as a URL link on the applicant profile. 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, the applicant name, email address, and job details sync from your ATS into Culture Index to start the survey. Culture Index sends the applicant a personalized survey link with their data already filled in, and the General Surveys, Applicant Surveys, and Behavior Survey results return to your ATS as a URL link on the applicant profile. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, and background checks.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of Culture Index with your ATS goes live in 8-12 weeks. The integration also works on surveys an applicant completed earlier—their Primary Trait result is matched against the new job instead of a second invite going out. 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, every applicant gets a survey the moment they apply, instead of only the ones a recruiter remembers to send one to. Galloway’s talent acquisition team saves 1,500 work hours a year this way, and went from using Culture Index on a quarter of its candidates to all of them.

The best way to connect Culture Index to your ATS 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.
