Modified on Mon, 2 Nov at 9:07 AM

Connect Teamtailor to Simployer One to import candidates marked as Hired in Teamtailor and continue with Document E-signing or onboarding in Simployer.


The Teamtailor integration lets you import hired candidates from Teamtailor into Simployer One. To get started, create a Teamtailor Admin API key with read permission and connect the two systems. Once configured, candidates become available for import when they are marked as Hired in Teamtailor.


Who can set up the Teamtailor integration in Simployer One?

To connect Teamtailor to Simployer One, you need the following permissions:

  • Simployer One: You must be an Owner.

  • Teamtailor: You must be an admin user.


How do I create a Teamtailor API key for Simployer One?

Before connecting Teamtailor to Simployer One, create an API key in Teamtailor.

  1. Sign in to Teamtailor as an admin user.

  2. Go to Settings > Integrations > API.

  3. Create an Admin API key with read permission. You can choose any name for the API key.

  4. Copy the API key. You will need it when configuring the integration in Simployer One.

How do I connect Teamtailor to Simployer One?

Once you have created the Teamtailor API key, you can configure the integration in Simployer One.

Once the integration is configured, candidates marked as Hired in Teamtailor become available for import into Simployer One.



Should I choose Candidate or New hire as the default import status?

When configuring the Teamtailor integration, choose whether imported people should be created as Candidate or New hire in Simployer One.

  • Candidate: Choose this option if you use Document E-signing in Simployer One. This allows you to sign a contract with the candidate before starting onboarding.

  • New hire: Choose this option if you do not use Document E-signing in Simployer One. The contract is signed outside Simployer One, and you can then start onboarding the person in Simployer One.

The selected option determines the default status assigned to people imported from Teamtailor.


When does a Teamtailor candidate become available for import?

A candidate becomes available for import into Simployer One when you move them to the Hired column in Teamtailor.


Candidates who have not been marked as Hired in Teamtailor do not appear as new candidates ready for import in Simployer One.


Important: The Teamtailor integration must be configured in Simployer One before you can import candidates.
