Connectivity is an amazing thing in the modern tech-savvy world, and software integrations are a powerful tool for enabling connectivity. Software integrations basically allow us to share essential data and leverage practical business functionality between devices, applications, and individuals while eliminating the need for using multiple separate tools.

But how do these integrations work? Well, they work on APIs. An API, or application programming interface, is a set of instructions or codes that helps integrate a part of one software into another. We may not notice it, but APIs are everywhere, powering our lives from behind the scenes. Every time you check the weather on your phone, make a payment through your digital wallet or use a cab hailing service that uses Google Maps to navigate, you are using an API.

In the recruitment world, the science of pre-integration has exponentially improved the efficiency of TAs in mapping the right talent and is changing the landscape of modernday hiring techniques.

What makes APIs so incredible for recruitment? 

In terms of functionality, imagine having to locate talent data from 8 different sources in 5 separate formats, manually sorting it out, and then taking endless hours for prepping and merging it. How time-consuming would that be?

Before making a job offer to the selected candidates, an important step is to calculate the compensation that the organisation would be offering to them. The offer is made by keeping many aspects into consideration, such as experience, previous pay, budget, etc. Taking care of all these factors can get tiresome for a single person. A little help would reduce the burden a lot, won’t it?

Well, Recruit comes with integrations that use AI and other technologies to calculate suitable and fair compensation. Pay Review is an integration that can be used to carry out functions such as salary benchmarking, compensation survey, salary increments, and much more.
