API

Integrate with our API

As an alternative to using our dashboard, recruiters can integrate directly with our REST API.

Overview

Our REST API can easily be integrated by any developer. Please note that this option is only available for recruiters in need of optimizing a large number of resumes and have technical knowledge of how to incorporate a REST API.

Transactions take less than 20 seconds on average but more complex resumes may take longer. If you need to optimize a batch of resumes, our recommendation is to process these one at a time and not concurrently.
