How Happydance connects to your ATS
Your ATS runs your hiring. Your careers website tells your story. A Happydance integration lets each do what it does best, and keeps them in step.
The connection between an applicant tracking system or recruitment CRM and a careers website, which brings open jobs onto the careers website and takes candidates, and their applications, back to the system where recruiters work.
Jobs sync every hour by default, and 15 or 30 minutes is possible. Your ATS sends a full list of open jobs on each sync, so a closed job drops off the careers website at the next sync.
The ATS sends a full list of open jobs each sync. Settings are agreed at set-up.

Three ways to apply
For each ATS, apply works one of three ways. Choose the one that fits your process and change it later if your needs change.
Redirect to the ATS
The candidate chooses a job on the careers website and applies on your ATS, in the flow you have already configured.
ATS form embedded on the page
The ATS application form appears on the careers website page, so the candidate stays in your branded setting.
Happydance easy-apply overlay
The candidate applies in a branded overlay on your careers website. The application is passed to the ATS and Happydance does not store it.
Read more about the easy apply overlay.
A recruitment CRM integration
Happydance also integrates with a recruitment CRM. Jobs flow out to the careers website, and applications and talent community members flow back into the CRM with their source attribution intact. The careers website works with the CRM's own ATS, and it can sit alongside a different ATS too.
Talent communities, connected
Talent community sign-ups on the careers website can feed your recruitment CRM, so your sourcing team can start conversations with people who have already shown interest. National Grid's published case study describes talent community forms feeding its talent CRM.
Where candidate data goes
The easy-apply overlay passes the application to your ATS and Happydance does not store it. With a redirect or an embedded ATS form, the application is made on the ATS. Where Job Alerts is enabled, Happydance stores the subscriber's email address, search criteria and language. For the full picture, read the security, accessibility and compliance guide, the security page and the legal documents.
