Overview of Integration
We have partnered with Dayforce to provide our Stepstone Connect solution which lets jobseekers apply seamlessly for jobs posted on Stepstone Group job boards. All applications will be passed directly to the Dayforce ATS, with confirmation of the source of this application.
How does this work?
Stepstone Connect is a free-to-use technology that enables a seamless integration between our StepStone Group job boards and Dayforce. When integrated, this will enable the automatic transfer of applicant data and CVs into your Dayforce ATS.
This works by simplifying the job application process and removing the need for a candidate to re-enter their information on an external web form. We pull the screening questions and additional requirements from the Dayforce careers site and ask the candidate to provide this information as part of their application on our site.
This in turn leads to a much higher application completion rate, greatly reducing candidate drop-off in the application process.
We are also able to track candidates as they move through the recruitment funnel, using candidate disposition data from Dayforce. This enables us to determine how many applicants of value we are providing you, therefore giving you greater insight and visibility into our performance.
Requirements
To activate Connect, clients are required to provide the following information from Dayforce:
- Client namespace (has string format like ddn, job-finder etc.)
- Username for the integration user
- Password for the integration user
- Dayforce API URL host
- Job offer examples
You will find this information, as well as further explanations for each point, by following the instructions further below in your Dayforce ATS.
Please send the above information to one of the following contacts, depending on your job board:
| Country | Job Board | Contact Email Address |
| Continental Europe | Stepstone DE | connect@stepstone.com |
| UK | Totaljobs / Caterer / Jobsite | connectuk@thestepstonegroup.com |
| Ireland | Irishjobs, Jobs.ie, NIJobs | connectuk@thestepstonegroup.com |
