It's an exciting day at Weirdly HQ! Dale's off on another successful US sales trip, our Australian business is looking great and we've launched our brand new Weirdly JobPages ATS integration with one of the largest employers in the world. That’s one more integration flavour on offer from the Weirdly candy store. Why get excited about another ATS integration you ask? Well, the simple answer is that life really sucks when you have to keep hopping between pieces of software. Endless logging in and out. We know, that you know, that your teams just won’t do it. So making sure your crew gets all that delicious Weirdly benefit without ever leaving their ATS dashboard is super-important to us.For most of our customers, delivering a world-class candidate experience is high on the priority list. People come to us because we can help create a candidate experience that'll leave applicants with an awesome, lasting impression of the company's employer brand, as well as helping you manage volume and dramatically speed up screening. Building the kinds of integration with your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that allow Weirdly to sit right at the front of your process is the key to really maximising these benefits. JobPages is our latest ATS integration type.Wait. There are integration TYPES? What does that even mean? Well basically, there are different ways your ATS will let us share information with it. It all depends on how they've built their software and how you've designed your process.
Option 1: Apply Button
This is where your Weirdly quiz link is automatically added to the Apply button on your job listings. For example, you create a new job in your ATS the exact same way you always do, but when you share it or list it on your career site, instead of the apply button automatically linking to the dry old ATS application form, it'll take applicants to your customised Weirdly quiz. This means the first experience someone has with your employer brand is a really fun, positive one. This is the simplest way to get Weirdly at the front of your application process, but not every ATS allows it. For the ones that don't we've got two other options…Option 2: NEW JobPages
If you want your candidates to have that awesome Weirdly candidate experience as their first interaction with your application process, but your ATS won't allow an "Apply Button" integration, JobPages is for you. Basically, we simply replace the current "open job" listings on your career site with a JobPage we automatically create from your ATS. Literally, nothing has to change in your workflow; you create a job in your ATS just like normal, you click the same button as always to share it to your career site and follow the same process to share it on your favourite job boards. Your Weirdly quiz is either automatically added to every job as a pre-apply assessment, or you can opt to have it be a feature you toggle on or off. Either way, recruiters stay in the comfortable familiarity of their ATS dashboard. It's only in the background where things are a bit different. Instead of your ATS displaying all your open jobs on your career site, it instantly gives us all the same information and we take responsibility for displaying it on your site instead. That allows us to embed our quiz link in the apply button, then automatically add the candidate's score to their ATS profile once they've completed the quiz. For you (and your candidates), nothing changes, except you might notice the "open jobs" page on your career site all of a sudden looks a little nicer. Oh, and of course you'll begin to notice people raving about your great candidate experience ?.Option 3: Second stage
If you’re still looking for Weirdly to help with values alignment, but don’t need us at the front of your process, this might be the option for you. After your candidates have completed the first step in your application process - usually by uploading some info/resume into your ATS application form - they get sent an invitation to complete your Weirdly quiz. This can either happen automatically (every candidate gets invited), or manually (you only invite the ones you like the look of). Either way, your candidates still get that custom Weirdly experience, we’ll calculate how well they align to your values and their results will be automatically attached to their candidate profile in your ATS.Think a Weirdly integration with your ATS sounds pretty good? We're currently working with most of the leading Applicant Tracking Systems in the market, including SmartRecruiters, Lever and SnapHire. If we don't already have an integration running, you can bet we're in the process of building it!
