Integrations
Works with every ATS, because it does not depend on one
A test is one link and the result is one report. Any system that holds a candidate record can hold both, which is why there is no integration to buy, wait for or pay extra to unlock.
What running it alongside your ATS looks like
Three steps, and none of them depend on which system you use:
- Add a stage to the pipeline. Most systems already have somewhere sensible: a take-home test stage, an assessment step, or a custom stage you name yourself.
- Send the link. One link per candidate, from SharpAssessment or pasted into your ATS’s own email template. Candidates need no account and no install.
- Put the result back. The report is a PDF you attach to the candidate record, a read-only link you paste into a note, and a CSV when you want the whole shortlist in one file.
That is the entire mechanism. It works on day one, on every system in the tables below, with no vendor onboarding, no admin permissions and nothing to buy.
The part most comparison pages leave out
SharpAssessment has no native two-way ATS sync today. No app in the Greenhouse marketplace, no Workday connector, no public API, no Zapier app.
That is worth being blunt about, because the alternative is a logo wall implying integrations that turn out to be one-way webhooks behind a plan upgrade. What a native integration buys you is that nobody pastes a score into a candidate record by hand, and the report opens from the profile instead of an attachment. At five to fifty hires a year, that is a few minutes a month.
It is worth naming the number that makes this concrete. TestGorilla puts ATS integration and API access on its Plus plan, which starts at $400 a month, or $4,800 a year. If you assess sixty candidates a year, that is $80 per candidate for the paste-avoidance feature alone, on top of the assessment itself. Our whole hundred-candidate pack is $249. See pricing for the rest of that arithmetic.
Where native sync genuinely earns its keep is above roughly a hundred hires a year, or when compliance requires the assessment record to live in one system of record. If that is you, say so at signup: it moves your ATS up the list.
Modern ATS: where the test step goes
Every system here lets you add a stage and attach a file to a candidate. Stage names drift between releases, so treat the middle column as the usual place rather than the only one.
| ATS | Usual place for the test step | Where the report ends up |
|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse | The built-in Take Home Test interview stage | Attachment on the candidate, score in the scorecard |
| Lever | A custom pipeline stage before onsite | File on the profile, summary in a note |
| Ashby | A take-home stage in the interview plan | Attachment plus a note on the application |
| Workable | A custom stage, with the result recorded as an evaluation | Attachment on the candidate timeline |
| SmartRecruiters | A custom step in the hiring process | Attachment on the candidate record |
| Recruitee | A custom pipeline stage | File on the candidate, note for the score |
| Teamtailor | A custom stage in the job’s pipeline | Attachment plus internal note |
| Pinpoint | A custom stage | Attachment on the application |
| JOIN | A custom stage in the pipeline | Attachment on the candidate |
| Breezy HR | A custom pipeline stage | File on the candidate card |
| JazzHR | A custom workflow step | Attachment on the applicant |
| Recruiterflow | A custom pipeline stage | File on the candidate |
| Manatal | A custom pipeline stage | Attachment on the candidate |
| Zoho Recruit | A custom hiring stage | Attachment plus a candidate note |
| Homerun | A custom stage | File on the candidate |
| Occupop | A custom stage | Attachment on the application |
| 100Hires | A workflow stage, with the score in the candidate record | Attachment on the candidate; first native integration on the roadmap |
Enterprise suites
The link method matters more here, not less. Adding a new assessment vendor to a Workday or SuccessFactors instance is a procurement and IT project measured in months. Sending a candidate a link and filing the PDF is neither.
| Suite | Usual place for the test step | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Workday Recruiting | An assessment step in the job application process | Attach the report to the candidate; no Workday configuration needed for the link method |
| SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting | A custom applicant status in the pipeline | Attachment on the candidate profile |
| Oracle Recruiting Cloud and Taleo | A custom phase or step in the candidate selection process | Attachment on the candidate |
| iCIMS | A custom workflow status | Attachment on the candidate record |
| Cornerstone Recruiting | A custom status in the requisition workflow | Attachment on the applicant |
| Avature | A custom workflow step | Attachment on the profile |
| Jobvite | A custom workflow step | Attachment on the candidate |
| UKG Pro Recruiting | A custom opportunity status | Attachment on the candidate |
| Dayforce, formerly Ceridian | A custom candidate status | Attachment on the candidate |
| ADP Workforce Now hiring | A custom status | Attachment on the applicant record |
HR systems with hiring built in
The common case for a team of twenty to two hundred: the HR system does payroll and holiday, and its hiring module is thin. Thin is fine here, because all it has to do is hold a stage and a file.
| System | Usual place for the test step | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BambooHR | A custom hiring status in the applicant pipeline | Attachment on the applicant |
| Personio | A custom stage in the hiring pipeline | Attachment on the candidate |
| HiBob | A custom hiring stage | Attachment on the candidate |
| Rippling | A custom stage in the recruiting pipeline | Attachment on the candidate |
| Gusto | A custom hiring step | Attachment or a note with the report link |
| Deel | A custom hiring stage | Attachment on the candidate |
| Factorial | A custom stage in the ATS module | Attachment on the candidate |
| Sage HR | A custom pipeline stage | Attachment on the applicant |
| Paycor, Paylocity, Paycom | A custom applicant status | Attachment on the applicant record |
| Namely | A custom status in the recruiting module | Attachment on the applicant |
Staffing and agency systems
Agencies assess more candidates per hire than employers do, so the CSV export usually matters more than the per-candidate attachment.
| System | Usual place for the test step | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bullhorn | A custom candidate status or submission step | Attachment on the candidate; CSV for a whole submission list |
| JobAdder | A custom placement or candidate status | Attachment on the candidate |
| Vincere | A custom pipeline stage | Attachment on the candidate |
| Crelate | A custom workflow stage | Attachment on the contact |
| Loxo | A custom pipeline stage | Attachment on the person record |
| Ceipal | A custom submission status | Attachment on the candidate |
| Tracker | A custom workflow stage | Attachment on the candidate |
No ATS at all
Also supported, and more common than vendors admit at this size:
- Inbox and spreadsheet. Send the link from your own email. The shortlist comparison lives in SharpAssessment, so the spreadsheet only has to hold names.
- Indeed, ZipRecruiter and other job-board inboxes. Applicants arrive in the board’s own dashboard; paste the link into your reply there.
- A careers page form. Same link, sent when you reply.
When results move without anybody pasting
Three things exist today that cover most of the copying:
- A read-only report link. Anyone with the link can read one candidate’s report without an account, which is what a hiring manager or a client actually needs.
- PDF export. One report, formatted for attaching to a candidate record or filing with the hiring decision.
- CSV export. The whole shortlist with scores and completion times, for a spreadsheet, a board pack, or a bulk import into your ATS.
Tell us which one to build first
Native integrations get built in the order people ask for them, and the ask is recorded at signup, where you name the system you use. That is a better signal than a roadmap written by guessing, and it means a system nobody uses does not get built ahead of one that thirty teams share.
If your ATS is not in the tables above, it still works. Every one of them comes down to a stage and an attachment.
