Frequently Asked Questions

Which ATS systems do you integrate with?

We work with all major recruiting and ATS platforms including Bullhorn, Crelate, Loxo, JobAdder, Lever, Greenhouse, and others. We can also integrate with LinkedIn Recruiter, sourcing tools like hireEZ and Gem, and scheduling platforms.

Can you help with LinkedIn automation while staying compliant?

Yes, we implement LinkedIn automation within the platform's terms of service. We focus on enhancing recruiter productivity through smart sequencing and response tracking rather than aggressive automation that risks account restrictions.

How do you handle confidential retained searches?

We understand the sensitive nature of executive search. Our integrations follow strict data handling protocols, support role-based access controls, and can be configured to maintain appropriate confidentiality for blind searches and sensitive placements.
