How to Source Candidates Externally and Push Them into an ATS Using Unified's ATS API

Recruiters often source candidates externally and integrate them into an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) using Unified's ATS API to streamline the recruitment process. This approach involves pulling job requirements from the ATS, matching candidates from external sources, and ensuring their seamless integration into the ATS without duplicates while maintaining necessary metadata. The process includes creating candidate profiles, applications, attaching resumes, and updating statuses, all while managing provider-specific variabilities and ensuring idempotency to prevent errors. Unified's API provides normalized objects and consistent endpoints but requires careful orchestration by the user to handle deduplication, retries, and fallbacks, ultimately enabling recruiters to efficiently manage candidates within the ATS.
