What Alfa writes back to Atlas
- Applicants. When screening finishes, Alfa sends each applicant whose status you map to a Atlas stage, with their name, email address and, where Alfa has them, phone number and LinkedIn profile. Their resume goes with them.
- Notes. Atlas does not accept notes through this integration, so the score and screening results stay in Alfa.
- Stages. Shortlisted, Suitable and Not suitable candidates each go to the Atlas stage you map for that status.
- Later changes. If you shortlist a candidate after Alfa has sent them, Alfa moves them to your Shortlisted stage in Atlas.
- Applicants you do not sync. In Alfa's ATS settings you can choose a Atlas job for applicants who are not synced. Alfa then adds applicants whose status is set to Don't sync to that job, where Atlas puts new applications, so you keep them in Atlas. Only applicants who apply after you choose the job are added. If you later shortlist one of them and Shortlisted is mapped to a stage, Alfa also sends them to the job they applied for.
- Sourced candidates. If you map Sourced potential candidates to a stage, Alfa also sends sourced candidates who have an email address, in that stage. Rejected and removed candidates are not sent, and sending them does not start any outreach.
What Alfa reads from Atlas
- Open jobs. Alfa lists your open Atlas jobs, up to the 250 most recently opened, so you can link each Alfa job to its Atlas job.
- Pipeline stages. Alfa reads your Atlas stages so you can choose where each Alfa status goes.
- Your hiring history. If you turn on Search your ATS history, Alfa copies the candidates and applications in Atlas, with their resumes, so you and Lisa can search everyone you have considered before. The first copy can take a few hours.
