ADP API Recruiting Integration Connection

ADP API Recruitment serves as a widely-used applicant tracking system (ATS). Similar to other common ATS platforms, HR generates candidate/employee data within the system, subsequently integrating employees into the HR/payroll system post-offer acceptance. Simultaneously, the IT team undertakes preboarding tasks, necessitating the creation of accounts within an identity management system.
