Digital Recruiters integration

What Alfa writes back to Digital Recruiters

• Applicants. When screening finishes, Alfa sends each applicant whose status you map to a Digital Recruiters stage, with their name, email address and, where Alfa has them, phone number and LinkedIn profile. Their resume goes with them.
• Notes. Digital Recruiters does not accept notes through this integration, so the score and screening results stay in Alfa.
• Stages. Alfa asks Digital Recruiters to put candidates you have already shortlisted in the stage you map for Shortlisted, but we have not yet confirmed whether Digital Recruiters accepts a stage for new candidates through this integration. Applicants marked Suitable or Not suitable go where Digital Recruiters puts new applications: mapping their status to a stage tells Alfa to send them to the linked job, but does not place them in that stage.
• Later changes. Alfa does not change a candidate's stage in Digital Recruiters after sending them. If you shortlist someone later, move them in Digital Recruiters yourself.
• Applicants you do not sync. In Alfa's ATS settings you can choose a Digital Recruiters job for applicants who are not synced. Alfa then adds applicants whose status is set to Don't sync to that job, where Digital Recruiters puts new applications, so you keep them in Digital Recruiters. Only applicants who apply after you choose the job are added. If you later shortlist one of them and Shortlisted is mapped to a stage, Alfa also sends them to the job they applied for.
• Sourced candidates. If you map Sourced potential candidates to a stage, Alfa also sends sourced candidates who have an email address. Rejected and removed candidates are not sent, and sending them does not start any outreach.

What Alfa reads from Digital Recruiters

• Open jobs. Alfa lists your open Digital Recruiters jobs, up to the 250 most recently opened, so you can link each Alfa job to its Digital Recruiters job.
• Pipeline stages. Alfa reads your Digital Recruiters stages so you can choose where each Alfa status goes.
• Your hiring history. If you turn on Search your ATS history, Alfa copies the candidates and applications in Digital Recruiters, so you and Lisa can search everyone you have considered before. The first copy can take a few hours.
