How to Build a Candidate Portal Showing Application and Interview Stages with
Blog post from Unified.to
Unified.to’s ATS API can support branded candidate portals, talent CRMs, recruiting automation tools, and hiring marketplaces by syncing application statuses, interview schedules, and stage vocabulary from an employer’s ATS into the builder’s own database. The ATS remains the source of truth, while the portal functions as a read-only view showing current application stage, applied date, upcoming or completed interviews, interview location and status, and final outcomes such as hired or closed applications. Developers retrieve applications by candidate and job, use application-status data to display recruiter-defined labels and descriptions, and fetch interviews by application where supported, while avoiding assumptions about stage ordering or transitions because the API provides current state rather than history. An initial paginated sync should be followed by webhook-driven, idempotent record updates, with incremental refreshes or scheduled polling used for integrations lacking change events. Because integration capabilities vary, portals should handle missing interview data, status fields, and timestamps defensively, render from an internal database rather than live API calls, and avoid exposing employer-internal information such as recruiter notes, scorecards, or metadata.
