Frequently Asked Questions
Custom Broadbean Integration Services
Broadbean earns its keep when it is properly connected to the systems on either side of it. On its own it posts jobs and collects responses; wired into your CRM and website it removes the copying and chasing that fills a consultant's day. Here is how we approach a Broadbean integration.
What a proper Broadbean integration removes
Broadbean's job is distribution and aggregation: it fans your vacancies out to the boards and pulls the responses back. What it does not do on its own is keep your ATS, your CRM and your careers website in step with all of that. Where those links are missing, consultants become the integration: copying a vacancy from the CRM into Broadbean, retyping candidate details from an application email into the database, and reconciling which jobs are actually live where.
A proper integration takes that work off people. A vacancy is raised once and appears everywhere it should; an application arrives once and becomes a clean record in the right place. The admin that fills a recruiter's day quietly disappears.
Posting from your CRM, responses back into it
On the posting side we connect your ATS or CRM, whether that is Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder or something bespoke, so a vacancy flows into Broadbean and out to the boards with the right branding, categories and board selection applied automatically. On the response side we bring applications back as structured, deduplicated candidate records, parsed and attached to the correct vacancy and consultant.
This is exactly the kind of two-way, system-specific work our broader API integrations practice is built on, and the automations around it sit within our business automation service.
Not sure your CRM can be connected to Broadbean?
Tell us which system you run. We will tell you honestly what can be connected, in which direction, and what it would take.
One source of truth, including your website
We can feed your public careers page from the same job data, so your website, Broadbean and your CRM never disagree about which roles are live. New applications can alert the right consultant, candidates can be tagged by source for accurate reporting, and the whole flow behaves as one system rather than three that happen to share data.
Because candidate data is personal data, we build with your GDPR obligations in mind throughout, moving only what is needed and handling it securely.
Bespoke, because every agency is different
No two agencies run the same combination of CRM, boards, branding and process, so this is a custom build rather than a fixed connector. We build against the Broadbean API and your CRM's API, shaped around how your consultants actually work, delivered by a UK team under NDA and tested on real vacancies and applications.
If your agency also relies on other recruitment or back-office systems that need joining up, that pairs naturally with our wider integration and automation work.
