Why integrate your ATS with AI
Recruitment teams using an ATS without artificial intelligence face a common problem: the system stores data but does not act on it. Recruiters still spend hours on manual tasks like moving candidates between stages, sending follow-up emails, and consolidating feedback.
Integrating Selenios with your ATS turns a passive database into an active recruitment engine. Selenios AI agents read job requirements directly from the ATS, execute conversational screening, and push results back into the pipeline without manual intervention.
Key Takeaway
Integrating Selenios with your ATS requires no engineering team. The entire process takes less than 30 minutes, and bidirectional sync ensures both systems are always up to date.
Supported ATS platforms and connection methods
Selenios offers native integrations with the four most widely used ATS platforms in Latin America and global markets:
Greenhouse
Greenhouse is the preferred ATS for growing technology companies. The integration uses the Harvest API v2 and synchronizes positions, candidates, scorecards, and pipeline stages. Setup consists of generating an API key with read/write permissions in the Greenhouse admin panel and entering it into Selenios.
Lever
Lever stands out for its relationship management approach. Selenios connects via OAuth 2.0, enabling secure authorization without sharing credentials. Synchronization includes opportunities, pipeline stages, notes, and file attachments.
Workable
Popular among SMBs and scaling companies, Workable offers a well-documented REST API. Selenios syncs jobs, candidates, evaluations, and comments. The integration includes webhooks for real-time notifications when a candidate advances or is rejected.
BambooHR
For companies using BambooHR as their end-to-end HR system, Selenios connects to the ATS module and syncs both candidate data and onboarding information. This enables a seamless transition from hiring to employee onboarding.
Step-by-step setup guide
The integration process follows five simple steps that any recruiter or hiring manager can complete:
Step 1: Generate credentials in your ATS
Go to the integrations or API section of your ATS. Generate an API key or initiate the OAuth flow. Make sure to grant read and write permissions for candidates, positions, and feedback.
Step 2: Connect in the Selenios dashboard
In Selenios, navigate to Settings, then Integrations, and select your ATS. Paste the API key or complete the OAuth authorization. Selenios will validate the connection automatically.
Step 3: Map fields and stages
Selenios detects your pipeline stages and suggests an automatic mapping. For example, "Phone Screen" in Greenhouse maps to "AI Screening" in Selenios. You can adjust the mapping to match your workflow.
Step 4: Configure webhooks
Webhooks enable real-time synchronization. When a candidate changes status in either system, the other updates instantly. Selenios generates the webhook URL automatically.
Step 5: Test and activate
Run a test with a sample candidate. Verify that the profile syncs, stages update correctly, and AI interview notes appear in your ATS. Once confirmed, activate the integration for all open positions.
Automations you unlock
Once connected, Selenios and your ATS work as a unified system. These are the most valuable automations:
Automatic screening of new applicants: when a candidate applies through your ATS, Selenios receives the notification and launches a conversational interview within minutes. The candidate gets an invitation without any recruiter involvement.
Automatic pipeline advancement: candidates who pass AI screening automatically advance to the next stage in the ATS. Those who do not qualify receive personalized feedback and are archived with detailed notes.
Feedback consolidation: Selenios evaluations are logged as scorecards in the ATS, including metrics on technical competencies, soft skills, and cultural alignment.
Security and compliance
Security is a fundamental pillar of any integration. Selenios implements the following measures:
- All communications use industry-standard encryption in transit
- Tokens and API keys are stored with industry-standard encryption at rest
- Access logs are retained per our security policy for audit purposes
- The architecture complies with GDPR and LGPD
- Candidate data is not retained outside the active selection process
Post-integration impact metrics
Companies that integrate Selenios with their ATS report measurable improvements within their first 30 days. Average time-to-hire drops by 45% thanks to the elimination of manual tasks. Candidate experience improves because initial contact happens in minutes, not days. And recruiters reclaim hours previously spent copying data between systems.
The key to success is measuring before and after. Selenios includes an integration dashboard that shows synchronization metrics, candidate processing volume, and time saved per week.
How long does it take to integrate Selenios with my ATS?+
The standard integration with Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or BambooHR takes between 15 and 30 minutes. You just need to generate an API key in your ATS, paste it into the Selenios dashboard, and configure the sync webhooks. No engineering team or advanced technical knowledge is required.
What data is synced between Selenios and the ATS?+
Candidate profiles, pipeline stages, interview notes, scorecards, interview scheduling, and hiring manager feedback are all synced. The synchronization is bidirectional and happens in real time, meaning any change in one system is automatically reflected in the other.
Is the integration secure and privacy-compliant?+
Yes. All connections use industry-standard encryption, tokens are stored encrypted, and the architecture complies with GDPR and LGPD. Access logs are retained per our security policy. Selenios does not retain candidate data outside the active hiring process.
