How to Pull Screening Questions from an ATS and Embed Them in Your Product Using Unified's ATS API
Blog post from Unified.to
Leveraging Unified's ATS API allows developers to pull screening questions from an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and embed them into various recruitment products, such as custom application flows, sourcing portals, or candidate engagement platforms. The process involves retrieving job objects from the ATS, normalizing question types for dynamic UI rendering, collecting and structuring candidate responses, and pushing these structured responses back to the ATS while maintaining it as the system of record. The guide outlines steps including retrieving job details, normalizing and rendering questions, handling file uploads, creating or deduplicating candidate entries, and submitting applications with structured answers. While the API facilitates these functions, developers should verify integration-specific support for question exposure, answer writing capabilities, question ID consistency, and file semantics. Ultimately, this workflow enables customized application experiences while preserving the structured logic and data integrity within the ATS.
