For more information on how using Searchlight's Intake product improves hiring efficiency and hiring outcomes, you can read more on our blog.

Note: This feature is currently available to our Lever and Greenhouse-integrated customers. If you would like to bring this feature to your ATS, please email [email protected].

Searchlight's Intake product helps hiring managers and recruiters focus on the key candidate traits that predict success. The information gathered in Searchlight Intake surveys are connected to Searchlight Candidate Assessments and Reference Checks. The insights from Intake are brought into Searchlight candidate data reports to customize the insights to your specific team.

One way that Searchlight automatically connects insights from Intake to an individual candidate's report is through our ATS integrations. Each Intake keeps track of multiple Job URLs that are relevant to the Intake results. When a candidate is sent through your ATS to start the Searchlight process for a Job relevant to an Intake, Searchlight will automatically tie that Intake to the candidate's data report.

Because teams are dynamic and cultures change with each new hire, Searchlight recommends that you create a new Intake in Searchlight for each new candidate search.

However, we know that it's not always practical or possible to achieve this ideal. For example: let's say that a hiring manager is hiring for two similar roles, that have two different Jobs in your ATS. Or, imagine that a hiring manager submitted a Searchlight Intake Survey 2 months ago for a requisition that was filled, and now you're kicking off a new search for the same role because of team expansion or backfill.

In these cases, it would be valuable to connect an existing Searchlight Intake to a Job in your ATS.

Here's how you would accomplish this:

Step 1: Click the left tab in your Searchlight workspace

Step 2: Click “Predict”

Step 3: Click “Intake”

Step 4: Search for the name of the Intake that you want to add a new Greenhouse Job to

Step 5: Click on the Intake, and go to Settings

Step 6: Where it says "ATS", click "Add another job URL"

Step 7: In your ATS, grab the URL in the address bar and copy-and-paste the Job URL into the field in Searchlight

Step 8: Click Save

You've done it! 🎉 What this means that the next time a candidate is sent through your ATS to start the Searchlight process for the Job you've connected to the Intake, Searchlight will automatically tie that Intake to the candidate's data report.
