How to Read Screening Questions from an ATS and Embed Them in Your Product with

Unified.to’s ATS API enables recruiting products to embed ATS-defined screening questions into custom application flows while keeping the ATS as the system of record. Developers retrieve a job’s `questions[]`, dynamically render form controls based on normalized question types, collect responses as arrays of strings linked by each question’s unique ID, and attach those answers when creating or updating an application. File questions require a publicly accessible URL or, where supported, a document ID obtained through the document-upload endpoint, while candidates must be created or deduplicated before applications are submitted. As of October 19, 2026, 43 ATS integrations return screening questions and 20 accept answer write-backs, although capabilities, question IDs, file handling, and custom-field support vary by provider. The approach supports custom apply experiences, sourcing portals, talent CRMs, and recruiting automation products by preserving structured screening logic and candidate responses within the connected ATS.
