Usage

Once the integration is installed, it's time for you to select the roles you'd like to sync with Pillar. Pillar will automatically join interviews for synced roles and scheduled via the ATS according to your organization's settings. There are two settings in Pillar for capturing interviews:

  • Import All - Pillar will join every interview scheduled through the ATS

  • Choose Jobs Individually - Specify which jobs Pillar should join

By default, Pillar will use the Choose roles individually setting when the integration is installed.

Once the correct roles are selected, they will populate into Pillar with a toggle next to each.

Note: toggling a role "on" activates Pillar's engagement with that role. This may include recording/transcribing interviews, as well as the activation of automated emails to candidates and interviewers, depending on your organization engagement.

How to Uninstall the integration
