Teamtailor integration

Things to know about Teamtailor

• Notes go on the candidate profile. In Teamtailor, Alfa adds its notes to the candidate's profile rather than to one job application. The notes are posted under a user in your Teamtailor account: an admin where there is one.

What Alfa writes back to Teamtailor

• Applicants. When screening finishes, Alfa sends each applicant whose status you map to a Teamtailor stage, with their name, email address and, where Alfa has them, phone number and LinkedIn profile. Their resume goes with them.
• Notes. Alfa adds notes with a link to the candidate's Alfa profile, their score, a scorecard summary for each job requirement, and their resume and profile check results.
• Stages. Candidates you have already shortlisted when Alfa sends them go to the stage you map for Shortlisted. Applicants marked Suitable or Not suitable go where Teamtailor 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. When a job has its own pipeline, Alfa uses the stage with the same name in that job.
• Later changes. If you shortlist a candidate after Alfa has sent them, Alfa moves them to your Shortlisted stage in Teamtailor.
• Applicants you do not sync. In Alfa's ATS settings you can choose a Teamtailor job for applicants who are not synced. Alfa then adds applicants whose status is set to Don't sync to that job, where Teamtailor puts new applications, so you keep them in Teamtailor. 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, in that stage. Rejected and removed candidates are not sent, and sending them does not start any outreach.

What Alfa reads from Teamtailor

• Open jobs. Alfa lists your open Teamtailor jobs, up to the 250 most recently opened, so you can link each Alfa job to its Teamtailor job.
• Pipeline stages. Alfa reads your Teamtailor 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 Teamtailor, with their resumes, so you and Lisa can search everyone you have considered before. The first copy can take a few hours.
