Gusto HRIS integration, standardized assessment webhooks and improved Workday scope mapping

General 

  • 🧼 Improved scope mapping for all Workdayintegrations- The Kombo Connect flow will now display which Workday-permissions need to be assigned based on the data fields that you have turned on in your scope config
    • This is a big improvement for the GDPR compliance of the integration as it allows you to react to a customer objecting to very specific PII
    • You can log into the Kombo dashboard and try it out right away!

Assessment 

  • 🪝 Standardized assessment webhooks- You will now get a standardized webhook when a recruiter sets up a candidate for an assessment
    • It doesn't matter whether the ATS is sending webhooks at all, sending them via SOAP or REST or following any other funky pattern. You will get a clean notification with the relevant data attached.
    • If you're interested in early access to the assessment API, don't hesitate to reach out to us!

HRIS 

  • New Gusto HRIS integration- One of the key payroll players in both the European and US markets. Now you can easily let your customers connect their Gusto HRIS via a OAuth
    • This integration requires a partnership with Gusto. If you need help for getting in touch with them, don't hesitate to reach out to us!

Workday assessment integration, partner options and guides for source field setup

Assessment 

  • 🌈 New Workday assessment integration- One of the most important tools in the enterprise recruiting realm and therefore it can't be missing in Kombo's new integration portfolio
    • If you want to spare yourself the hassle of figuring out how those pesky SOAP APIs of Workday work and instead just want to get started right away, please reach out to us for early access
    • You can find the list of all live assessment integrations here

General   

  • 🤝 Partner options are now configurable via the Kombo Dashboard- If you already have a partnership with another system or want to get one but not build the integration yourself you can still use Kombo and simply put your own partner options (in this case OAuth credentials) in for the integration

ATS   

  • ✋ New filter for application outcome

    • If you're integrating an ATS as part of a pre-/onboarding workflow you can now save yourself some pagination by for example just retrieving hired candidates from the system
  • 🆘 Guides for setting up candidate sources

    • As you know, some ATS out there require your customers to do some setup before you can show them that a new candidate was submitted by you
    • We now help your customers to not have a hard time doing this setup by providing a number of short guides on how to do this themselves

Native Assessment Beta, real-time support in connection flow, and remote.com integration

Assessment 

  • 🚀 We are very excited to launch our brand new ATS assessment beta- We've been busy behind the scenes working on a new category: a unified API for candidate assessments.
    • This allows you to use the very specific APIs that a lot of ATS offer for streamlining the process about assessing a candidate by a third party tool for skills tests, background checks, or interviewing.
    • It's already supported for SmartRecruiters, SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Recruitee, and Ashby.
    • The benefits? You are integrated right into the UI of the ATS, get real-time notifications about new assessment orders and only minimal data has to be synced for this process.

General   

  • ❤️‍🩹 Real-time support in connection flow- Ever had someone struggle with providing their API credentials in the connection flow? Well, in addition to the help center connection guides users will now get real-time support for when they are experiencing issues.

HRIS 

  • 🌍 New remote.com HRIS integration- Whether your customer is using an HRIS, just a user directory or an EOR Kombo has you covered in a unified way.
    • With the new remote.com integration there's nothing holding you back from integrating even the employee data of your most distributed customers.

Mapping of any employee field, supported tools overview and partner credentials

HRIS 

  • Mapping of employee standard fields- Even when mapping all the user-defined custom fields there might be data that's not part of the Kombo standard data model but still very valuable to you.
    • That's why now you can also map the standard fields that are exposed by a specific tools to Kombo custom fields
    • You can also still use the alias-feature. Meaning that you can configure something like "map any field called 'passport' to this data point" regardless of whether it's a user-defined custom field or just a standard field. Happy mapping!

General 

  • ✔︎ Supported tools per endpoint- In addition to seeing the list of supported model for each tool ("get tools" endpoint) you can now also see all tools that support a specific endpoint.
    • Just go on the documentation page of a specific endpoint (i.e. "create application") and then click on the "Supported integrations" dropdown to see the tools that support this
  • 🤝 Partner credentials- If you have a partnership with an ATS or HRIS and want your branding, name and scopes to be used instead of those of Kombo you can share your partner credentials with us to do exactly that
    • This feature is still in private beta so reach out to us if you're interested!
  • ⚙️ Exposed scope config template for linked account- You can now see which scope config template is used for a specific connected account via the "get integration details" endpoint so that you are able to use a different mapper based on the scopes you will receive. Happy mapping!

Created-only sync for applications, available models per integration and interviews

General 

  • ⏹️ Supported models for tools- If you want to render your customer-facing UI based on which features are supported for a given tool you can now do that by calling the "get tools" endpoint. It will return all tools that you enabled in your environment and which models are supported per tool!

ATS 

  • ⛔︎ Sync only created candidates- This was one of the biggest requests from talent acquisition customers. If you're only interested in tracking the data of the candidates that you exported into the ATS via the Kombo API instead of all the candidates, you can now toggle this on in the scope config
    • This is currently in private beta so reach out to us if you'd like to have it enabled. Happy syncing!
  • 🎙️ Interviews on applications- "Name three strengths and weaknesses of yourself". One strength surely is that the "get applications" endpoint will now return you all interviews that belong to this application
  • 🎭 On-Behalf-Of overwrite for Greenhouse- In Greenhouse it's possible to specify which user is responsible for a action taken via API. In addition to specifying a default here you can overwrite this info for any given user
  • 🔑 Passthrough API for Umantis- You can now use the passthrough API to make any request to any of Haufe Umantis' APIs

HRIS 

  • 🏭 Filter employees based on work location- You can now only fetch employee records that belong to a certain work location through a filter in the "get employees" request

Okta and TRAFFIT integrations, better employee filters, screening question answers

ATS 

  • 🕵️ Ability to natively write back screening question answers- If you're already collecting the answers to the screening questions for a job you can now post the answers back right into the ATS.
    • This can simply be done via the "create application" (or the older "create candidate") endpoint that you've been using anyways
  • 🚦 New TRAFFIT ATS integration, which will be relevant for all of our customers targeting the Polish/East-European market

HRIS 

  • 🛑 New filtersfor "get employees" endpoint- If you're serving large enterprises with thousands or ten thousands of employee records, you don't want to sync all of those into your own database
    • That's why now you can filter only for employees belonging to certain teams, departments, cost centers or legal entities
    • Check it out in the docs
  • 🔐 New Okta HRIS integration- Besides Google Workspace and Azure AD one of the big directory providers and now part of the Kombo integration portfolio.
    • As this is is only a directory sync it supports reading employees and group memberships but nothing else

Role system, fuzzy custom fields and "move application"

General 

  • 🎭 Role system for the Kombo dashboard- In case you want to onboard non-engineering team members that don't need all of the features of the Kombo platform or shouldn't have access, you can now use the new role system. The roles are:- Admin:Can do everything possible with the dashboard at the moment
    • Developer: Can do anything but not invite new members to the team
    • Operator: Can't change any settings, just create new integrations or look into existing ones (good for customer success team, etc.)
    • To edit/add members, sign into the Kombo Dashboard, click on your profile in the bottom left and then on "Users"

ATS 

  • ⏭️ New endpoint: Move application to stage- For all of you that don't only create applications and then forget about them. You can now use a new endpoint to move an application to a new stage

HRIS 

  • 🫥 Fuzzy match custom fields- Tired of mapping a custom field for every single new customer that you're onboarding? Same here! That's why now you can alias custom fields to auto-match them
    • If you set the alias "passport" and your customer has a field that contains "passport" somewhere in the name, it will automatically be mapped
  • 🌍 New Deel HRIS integration- Not strictly an HRIS but still an important integration as Deel has become the biggest global EOR player

Cleaner UI, specific times for absences, Kombo blog

General 

  • 📜 Public Kombo blog:

    • We now have the official Kombo blog! There you can find details on features we launched, announcements and general content on why building integrations can be hard. Check it out here and let us know what you think
  • 🧼 Cleaned-up UI

    • There's too many tools out there that give you a hard time navigating the UI (SuccessFa… not to drop any names). We don't want Kombo to be one of them!
    • That's why we hid a lot of elements and selects that aren't necessary for you (i.e. everything related to HRIS, if you're only using ATS integrations)

 HRIS 

  • ⏰ Added support for specific times for absences- Some of the HRIS out there let you specify the exact time that you'll be out of office. Now you can easily see via the Kombo API which absence types support this and submit those times in "create absence"
    • Blog post with more details to follow!

Onboarding flow, improved Pending Links, OTYS & Silae integrations

General 

  • 🏄‍♂️ Onboarding flow for new customers- Learning how to use a new tool can be challenging at times. That's why - in addition to our face-to-face onboarding and support - there's an in-app onboardingto get you started faster!
    • Please note that all the Kombo-veterans that have been using the product for a while now won't see this feature. You can reach out to us if you're interested, though!
  • 🔰 Reliability improvements- We are making big improvements behind the scenes to make Kombo even more reliable and safe, so that you can continue to scale your integrations with peace of mind.
  • 🔗 Improved Pending Links- Adding to the improvements of last week you are now able to extend the expiration time of a connection link as often as you want and revoke the linkif something went wrong
    • Also, if your customers is running into issues using a link, you can now see what happened in the logs connected to a link. There you'll know whether they granted the wrong permissions, have bad credentials or what went wrong.

Pending Links, "create application" endpoint, application attribution

ATS 

  • 🚀 Released a new ATS integration to eRecruiter- To avoid any confusion, there are multiple ATS out there called eRecruiter; this time we're integrating the Austrian ATS eRecruiter.net but more are to come
  • ⛲ Application attributionfor complex tools- If you submit a great candidate to your customer's ATS you sure want them to know that it was you who put in the work and not someone else
    • While almost all ATS have some way of declaring that a candidate was sourced by someone else, some of these tools require a lot of set up before you can declare this on candidates
    • Kombo now supports attributing candidates also for these tools. For now, this is added for Personio, SmartRecruiters and Workable but lots more to come

General 

  • ⏳ Overview of pending links- Ever sent a link to a customer only to wondering when they are connecting it or if they need help?
    • With the pending links overview you can now see all the links you sent out, which ones were opened already and where your customers had problems
    • Just go to your integrations overview and create a new magic link to try it out!
  • ⚠️ Warnings on API responses- Things can get messy when dealing with a lot of different APIs at the same time. While Kombo is abstracting and handling a lot of errors for you in the background we want to be transparent about problems that we solved.
    • If, for example, you upload a candidate and at least one of the attachments is rejected by the API we will successfully create the candidate but give you a warning about these attachments. Check out the docs to learn more
  • 📜 Link to help center from within connection flow- Ever felt stuck while trying to connect your Workday instance? We know the struggle!
    • Now it's extremely easy to get a step-by-step guide on how to generate and configure a tool while trying to connect it. You can see this at the very bottom of the connection flow!
  • ☂️ Possible errors are now documented- You can now see right from our docs which error codes can be returned by the Kombo API so that you can prepare upfront
