2. Supported ATS Integration Required

HiPeople AI Resume Screening currently works with selected ATS integrations only.

  • Check if your ATS is supported in the overview below:

  • If it’s not, reach out to your CSM to learn:

    • If support is on the roadmap.

    • How to submit an integration request.

  • Enable integration:

    • If it’s your first time — welcome!

    • If you already have a supported ATS integrated, double-check that permissions are correctly set.
      Your CSM can assist you if adjustments are needed.

Configure Your First AI Resume Screen

1. Set Job Criteria

HiPeople AI automatically pulls your job description from your ATS and suggests initial job criteria.

  • Criteria Structure:

    • Title: Internal label to stay organized.

    • Prompt: This defines how the AI evaluates resumes.

  • Best practices:

    • Edit or delete any prompt.

    • A screen requires minimum 2 and up to 10 criteria.

    • Learn what makes a good prompt vs. a bad prompt here.

2. Define Screening Limits (Optional)

  • Set a limit on how many candidates are screened.

    • Example: For 1,000 applicants, setting a limit of 50 will screen the first 50 (FIFO).

  • Our recommendation:

    • Start with 50 candidates to test and refine your criteria.

    • Once satisfied, remove the limit to ensure all applicants are screened moving forward.

3. Configure Workflows (Optional)

HiPeople supports bi-directional sync with your ATS, meaning all actions in HiPeople (advancing or rejecting candidates) are automatically reflected in your ATS.

  • Automation options:

    • Auto-Reject:
      Set a cut-off match score and select a rejection reason (options pulled from your ATS).

    • Auto-Advance:
      Set a high match score threshold and select the stage to automatically move candidates to (stages pulled from your ATS).

Before enabling automation, ensure your workflow ATS setup is complete.
