Automate Your HR Recruitment Pipeline with These 4 APIs

Most HR recruitment pipelines share the same bottleneck, it goes something like this: The recruiter manually opens each application, downloads the resume, reads through it, copies details into a spreadsheet, emails the candidate to book a call, and chases the background check days later. It's fine when you're hiring once a quarter. When you're running multiple roles at once, it falls apart - fast. Here's how to automate the screening half of that pipeline: from application received to interview scheduled. The workflow Candidate applies via Greenhouse → resume parsed automatically by APILayer → background check triggered via Checkr → interview booked via SavvyCal. The recruiter's job goes from processing paperwork to reviewing a structured shortlist. API #1 — Greenhouse (your system of record) Greenhouse is where candidates apply and where their records live throughout the hiring process. Rather than polling for new applications, you subscribe to the application_submitted webhook topic
