CRM Candidate Data API
Customers using third-party vendors for services not provided by the Recruitment Marketing (such as background checks) need a way to share candidate data from the CRM with those vendors, including custom fields, notes, tags, audience, lifecycle, and resumes.
What Changed
The CRM Candidate Data API makes it easier for third-party vendors to access and retrieve candidate information from the CRM. Vendors can pull data for multiple candidates based on specific criteria, such as candidates created, updated, or deleted within a certain date range. They can also exclude specific sources or lifecycles. After identifying the candidates, vendors can access details like education, work history, tags, notes, audience, lifecycle, custom fields, and resumes.
Roles
API user
Value
The CRM Candidate Data API offers more flexibility for larger customers using Recruitment Marketing. It helps streamline workflows by allowing third-party services to access the necessary candidate data, making processes like background checks more efficient and reducing the need for manual data transfers.
- Improved efficiency with automated data access
- Time savings by eliminating manual transfers
- Faster background checks and other third-party services
- Flexibility to integrate third-party services seamlessly

ATS & Onboarding
CRM in ATS
Recruiters waste valuable time switching between Jobvite’s CRM and ATS to access complete candidate information. Having CRM data separate from the ATS creates inefficient workflows, delays decision-making, and risks missing important candidate details stored across different platforms.
What Changed
Users can now easily navigate between CRM and ATS candidate records. In the Evolve ATS, they can see CRM notes, tags, custom fields, and consent status.
Roles
Company Administrator
- Evolve ATS role with CRM permissions
- Evolve RM role with View in Jobvite ATS privilege in Source
(You must have Evolve - Jobvite ATS + Recruitment Marketing CRM to use this feature)
Value
- Make hiring decisions faster with all candidate information in one place
- Save time by not switching between systems
- Find candidate information quickly in one location
- Spend less time searching and more time hiring
Configuration
Requires Configuration: Admins must update role permissions.
Help Center Resource
Automated Candidate Invitations
Recruiters spend a lot of time manually sending interview invitations and screening forms - about four clicks (12-15 seconds) per candidate. When follow-ups are forgotten, hiring is slowed down, and candidates miss important information. The current process takes extra time and risks missing steps.
What Changed
Send interview details and screening forms automatically when candidates advance Stages or accept interview invitations. Save time by eliminating manual steps while ensuring candidates receive timely communications every time.
Roles
Administrator
Value
This automation saves time on routine communications while ensuring candidates receive information promptly. Teams can focus on meaningful work instead of manual follow-ups.
Benefits:
- Send forms automatically
- Eliminate manual follow-ups
- Reduce missed communications
- Speed up the hiring process
- Save time on each candidate
- Keep candidates informed
Configuration
Requires Configuration: The admin must update their Interview Types
Help Center Resource
Coming Soon – Configure Automated Candidate Invitations
Automation Engine Sorting and Filtering
Admins managing multiple automations must scroll through long lists to find specific automation engines. Without sorting and filtering options, finding and managing automations takes unnecessary time and creates inefficient workflows.
What Changed
Find automation engines quickly with new sort and filter options. Sort by last update date and filter by active status to locate the engines you need to review or edit.
Value
Administrators can find and manage automation engines faster. Instead of manually searching through lists, they can quickly sort by date and filter by status to find exactly what they need.
- Save time finding the right automation
- Manage multiple automations more efficiently
- Reduce manual searching and scrolling
- Get to the automation you need right away
- Keep track of recently updated automations

Bulk Update Requisition Status
Updating a requisition’s status is one of the most basic and frequent activities performed by recruiters and hiring managers in ATS. It becomes a challenge for the recruitment teams when they must simultaneously perform the same changes across several requisitions. Since this is impossible today, users must open each requisition and perform the same modifications several times.
What Changed
This new feature allows the users to update the statuses of multiple requisitions in one go.
Users can select multiple requisitions > Users can specify the new status for the selected requisitions and update them.
As part of the first version of this capability, users will be able to bulk update the requisitions to the following statuses:
- Open
- On Hold
- Approve
- Close
- Reject
- Retract
- Submit for Approval
Roles
Recruiters, Hiring Managers
Value
This capability saves time when managing many requisitions. Teams can make the same changes to multiple positions simultaneously instead of updating each separately.
- Update multiple requisitions statuses at once
- Save time on routine updates
- Maintain consistency across positions
- Reduce manual work
- Improve data accuracy
- Handle large-volume updates efficiently
Configuration
Manually Enabled

Indeed Apply with Screening Questions
Currently, Jobvite has Indeed Apply, but it does not include screening questions. For customers who have screening questions that are a critical part of their screening process, they have not been able to take advantage of Indeed Apply.
What Changed
Ask candidates key questions when they apply on Indeed. Get their answers and application details in one place, directly in Jobvite. Make faster decisions by seeing candidate qualifications right away.
Roles
Administrator

Social Security Number Verification
Manually checking social security numbers against company records takes too much time and leaves room for mistakes. Hiring teams need a quicker, more reliable way to catch flagged social security numbers during onboarding to keep things accurate and compliant.
What Changed
Social Security Verification automatically checks social security numbers against an organization's records of non-eligible new hires during onboarding to ensure hiring eligibility and compliance.
*Please submit a Help Center ticket to have this feature enabled.
Roles
Administrator
Value
Organizations can simplify their onboarding process with automatic social security number verification to help maintain hiring standards and compliance with their organization's policies. Social Security Number Verification ensures hiring eligibility by identifying previously flagged SSNs before completing the hire.
- Prevents rehiring of ineligible candidates
- Automates eligibility checking
- Supports compliance with hiring policies
- Reduces onboarding risks
- Saves time on manual verification
Configuration
Automatically Enabled

Depreciation: Email to Application Creation
The Email to Application Creation capability allows customers to create candidate applications by forwarding resumes to dedicated Jobvite email addresses (resume@jobvite.com or talent@jobvite.com). When a resume is sent to these addresses, Jobvite automatically creates a candidate profile from the attached resume.
This will be deprecated on February 6, 2025.
Why is this Feature being Deprecated?
- Very few customers are using it (less than 0.5% of Jobvite ATS users)
- It was built on outdated code, making it difficult to support and maintain
- The infrastructure costs to keep the feature running are not sustainable

Recruitment Marketing
Apply Conditional Questions with Multiple Answers Parent
Traditional application forms force recruiters to show all questions to every candidate, making it hard to collect role-specific information efficiently. This leads to lengthy applications with irrelevant questions, higher candidate drop-off rates, and missed opportunities to gather important details. Recruiters need a way to show specific questions based on candidate responses to collect the correct information for each role.
What Changed
Create personalized application forms where follow-up questions appear based on multiple choice or multiple answers selected by the candidate. Show specific questions that help recruitment teams collect the correct information from each candidate.
Roles
Recruiters
Value
For Recruiters:
- Collect more relevant candidate information

- Reduce time reviewing unnecessary responses
- Get better-organized candidate data
- Simplify application management
For Candidates:
- See only relevant questions
- Complete applications faster
- Better application experience
- Less redundant information
- Clear application process

Advanced Job Search in Recruitment Marketing Career Sites
Job seekers often leave career sites when they can't find the right jobs. This happens when they make typing mistakes, use different job titles, or try to match their military experience to civilian jobs. Both employers and job seekers miss out on good opportunities.
What Changed
Make it easier for candidates to find relevant jobs on your career site. Jobs appear even when people use different titles, make typing mistakes, or enter military service codes, ensuring qualified candidates find opportunities.
*Replaces Google Cloud Jobs search in Career Sites
