8 integrations for sourcing candidates and assessing talent

Personio’s applicant sourcing features make your hiring workflow more efficient and organised. You can create and manage job ads efficiently, reducing manual admin for your recruitment processes. 

After you’ve confirmed the details, we publish your ads to the popular, industry-specific and niche boards you choose (with over 800 to pick from).

Personio also offers a LinkedIn active sourcing extension, which lets you import all relevant applicant details to our platform, including your notes and comments on candidates.

Aren’t sure you’re looking in the right places? Personio’s recruitment CRM tracks your performance and shows you which channels bring in the best candidates. You can shift your focus the moment you see a job board has given you a lot of high potential employees.

But sometimes the best candidates come looking for you. Personio ensures you’re ready for them with a custom career page that integrates with your main site.

Best of all, Personio connects with other top candidate sourcing and talent assessment tools. These integrations let you view and compare your applicant data in one place, whether you’re conducting video interviews or cognitive aptitude tests.

• Job ads: Use simple forms to create job ads and translate them into different languages.

• Ad syndication: Automatically publish ads to over 800 job boards (including 15 free ones) and store all the responses on your system.

• Automated screening: Filter out candidates who don’t meet basic requirements by adding disqualifying questions to online forms.

• Team collaboration tools: Assign tasks to colleagues to keep the recruitment process moving forward and reach hiring decisions faster.

• Data analytics: See which channels are getting the best results so you know where to invest more time and resources. 

• Active sourcing: Import a candidate’s details from LinkedIn into Personio, including any notes and comments.

• Career pages: Design custom pages for all your open positions and integrate them with your business website.

Find the best person for the job – with less effort

Ashby is a dedicated recruitment platform with a range of job posting and candidate sourcing features.

If you’ve ever struggled to track down candidates’ contact information, you’ll appreciate Ashby’s email sourcing tool, which works through a Google Chrome extension. As you browse websites like LinkedIn or Indeed, it automatically pulls contact details. 

Once you’ve found the candidate’s email address, Ashby lets you send a sequence of automated messages. You can personalise these by setting triggers and actions for all the empty fields.

Ashby automatically pushes all the applicant data it sources to Personio. You can store these in your talent pool or add them as employees. This lowers the odds of skilled candidates slipping through the cracks.

If you hire software developers, you’ll know that traditional recruitment methods can’t tell you much about an applicant’s coding skills. That’s why talent assessment platform CodeSubmit developed its take-home challenges. 

You can set practical tasks for candidates based on what they’d encounter in the role and assess their performance. CodeSubmit gives you a choice of pre-made and customisable challenges. So if your role has specific requirements, you can adapt the assessment tasks accordingly. 

Suppose you’ve received some applications for a coding job listing you created with Personio. You can transfer candidate details to CodeSubmit and send them a challenge. Once they’ve completed it, you get a notification on both platforms with the results.

Most job boards simply list your open roles and wait for applicants to find them – but HeyJobs goes a step further by matching your positions to suitable candidates. It uses AI to push your ads to the best-performing channels and ensure the right people see them.

HeyJobs doesn’t merely rely on great applicants spending time on job sites; it also engages passive candidates on social media and other channels to give your ads the widest possible reach.

You can create job ads on Personio and circulate them via HeyJobs. When applicants respond, their data automatically gets shared to both platforms. 

Personio’s CRM lets you track how many candidates you’re getting through HeyJobs to measure its success and help you optimise your approach.

Honeypot is a developer-focused job platform with a twist; companies apply for candidates, instead of the other way around. 

The idea is that technical skills are in such high demand, with over two thirds of organisations finding it hard to attract talent, that specialist tech talent are in a position to pick and choose who they work for.

Your hiring team can browse profiles on the platform to look for candidates with the right skills. Once you find a match, you send them the job description and salary.

If a candidate accepts a call invitation, their data automatically gets transferred from Honeypot to Personio. This includes their email address, CV and social profile. You can then continue with the recruitment process on our recruitment CRM system.

Jobufo lets candidates apply for jobs with short audio or video messages instead of traditional cover letters. This makes it a great option for those in the sales, marketing and entertainment industries, where communication skills are key.

As an employer, you can embed Jobufo into your career page or individual job ads, and candidates will see the option to record and submit a message. 

The platform gives them step-by-step instructions to keep the process clear and accessible, as not everyone is familiar with this assessment method.

Jobufo automatically sends applications to Personio, including any voice messages or video clips. You can view all these files right on our centralised hiring platform, sparing you from having to jump between Jobufo, Personio and other recruitment apps you use.

Designed with small businesses in mind, Join offers a range of candidate sourcing and talent assessment features.

A big draw is its AI job builder. You can create posts in minutes and tailor them to your organisation’s needs and preferences. The app limits you to creating two ads at once, but you can then publish them across over 250 listing sites.

What’s more, Join has a variety of customisable assessments. You can adapt these to specific roles or industries and send them to job candidates. Anti-cheating measures like screen recording and mouse tracking help you keep tests fair.

Personio and Join let you share data in both directions. If you create a job ad on Personio, it automatically appears on Join and gets distributed across its networks. Similarly, when you receive applications on Join, the integration sends this data to Personio.

Similar to Honeypot, Matched.io specialises in the tech industry. It has an intelligent algorithm that matches candidates to positions based on skills, objectives and salary requirements. 

All you have to do is create a profile for your company on the app and start generating job ads. What’s really interesting is that Matched.io learns from user behaviour – meaning the longer people use the software, the more accurate the matches will be.

Personio sends details about open positions at your organisation to Matched.io. The app then uses this data to find suitable candidates. When Matched.io finds a promising candidate, it automatically pushes the data back onto Personio.

Some 75% of employers worldwide struggle to fill open roles, a challenge that pressures organisations to advertise job openings just about everywhere to have the best chances of sourcing applicants. 

Expanding your reach means more candidates, but you may end up with hundreds of applications from various sources. 

When all this data is scattered and disconnected, it’s challenging to identify candidates and assess their skills, and it’s all too easy to overlook great talent.

By centralising your recruitment and hiring systems, you make it easier for your team to get visibility over applicant data and recruitment operations to make more informed hiring decisions. 

These integrations make it easier to navigate an increasingly crowded employment market, as well as offer advantages like:

• More accuracy when evaluating candidates: With all the relevant data to hand, you can develop a clearer picture of candidates and their abilities. That way, you’re more likely to identify high potential employees that fit well into your existing team.

• Increased efficiency: With recruitment integrations, you can process applications faster and offer jobs to candidates before your competitors do.

• Broader reach: Centralised systems let you advertise positions across hundreds of channels while storing essential data in one place.

• Less admin: Integrations eliminate the need to manually copy and transfer data, giving your team more time for hiring strategy and candidate support.

• Better teamwork: Everyone has access to the same tools and resources, making it easier for various departments to collaborate on hiring tasks.

• Greater alignment: Connecting your recruitment software to your core HR software makes it easier to tie hiring initiatives into business objectives.

Personio’s candidate sourcing and recruitment software simplifies the way you hire. The platform lets you reach more talent and speed up the selection process without stretching your resources. 

But the real power of Personio lies in its integration capabilities, which keep all your tools connected to save you time and keep every part of your recruiting process aligned. 

Our software integrates with over 30 popular recruiting platforms. With all the tools you need in one place, you limit the risk of making bad calls or overlooking truly great candidates – so you can guarantee that every hire brings value to your team.

Talent assessment is the process of evaluating a candidate’s skills and job performance. It indicates whether someone is well-suited to a role at your company. 

When you use assessments as well as interviews, you get more comprehensive, objective data about candidates, making it easier to form decisions aligned with your business needs. 

You can assess talent through a variety of methods. Some common types of talent assessments include skills tests, cognitive ability tests and job simulations. These are designed to evaluate candidates’ abilities and check they can perform the job well.

Other types of talent assessment might check whether candidates are a good fit for your company culture. For example, personality tests might look at whether they share the same core values and goals as your organisation.
