1. Handoff models
Spreadsheet & JSON export
Good for trials and startups. One-click CSV with candidate_ref, score, skills_with_evidence, gaps. Paste into ATS or import via bulk tool.
Webhook sync (enterprise)
Idempotent upserts on opportunity creation; retry with exponential backoff; reflect blind_screened flags and interview kits in ATS scorecards.
2. What payloads contain
{
"candidate_ref": "CAN-8420",
"role": "Staff Backend Engineer",
"alignment_score": 0.96,
"blind_screening": true,
"skills_verified": ["Rust / Tokio", "Raft", "Kafka / ClickHouse"],
"rubric": { "architecture_impact": 5.0, "concurrency_depth": 4.9 },
"interview_kit": ["Design Raft failure recovery", "Tune Postgres for 150k DAU"],
"source_citations": ["resume chunk 3: led K8s migration..."]
}All fields are Pydantic-validated; missing required ATS fields block export before you send bad data downstream.
3. Rollout steps
- Map RecruitAI candidate_ref → ATS opportunity custom field.
- Pilot with one requisition; verify Greenhouse scorecard appears as comment + tag.
- Enable webhook for auto-sync; monitor 2 weeks before retiring manual ATS scoring.
