Slack integration for hiring alerts
Connect one Slack channel and OneATS posts the hiring moments your team cares about, so nobody has to check the ATS to know what's happening.
Why connect it
Why connect Slack to OneATS
Four useful alerts, not noise
Get notified when a new candidate applies, feedback is overdue, all scorecards are in, or an offer is accepted.
No new tool for managers
Hiring managers can see interview status and feedback reminders where they already communicate.
Test before you save
Send a live test payload to your channel right from the settings page before enabling notifications.
