ATS vs document collection for staffing agencies

An ATS manages requisitions, pipeline, and placements. Hivi-X collects and assembles the screening documents an ATS attachment field was never designed to track — résumés, work permits, consent forms, references — with missing-item tracking and exportable PDF packages. Candidates upload via secure guest link (no account needed) or the my-id.ca portal. Hivi-X complements Bullhorn, Greenhouse, or Lever; it does not replace them.

Staffing agencies often assume their ATS already handles document collection because candidates can upload a résumé to a profile. In practice, pre-placement screening spans dozens of item types — certifications, work authorization, background-check consent, client intake forms — with no single view of what is still missing before you submit a candidate.

Hivi-X sits alongside your ATS: checklist-driven intake, secure candidate uploads via the my-id.ca portal, approve/reject on each item, voice summaries, and an exportable PDF package for the placement file. You keep Bullhorn or Greenhouse for pipeline; Hivi-X removes the document chase.

What Hivi-X does that ATS (Bullhorn, Greenhouse, etc.) doesn't

  • Item-level approve, reject, or resubmit for each candidate upload.
  • Reusable screening checklists you build once per agency workflow.
  • Voice notes plus self-hosted AI summaries on the candidate file.
  • Exportable PDF package designed for placement records and client handoff.
  • Hosted in Canada with self-hosted AI — candidate data not sent to third-party AI providers.

FAQ

Most ATS candidate portals require login. Hivi-X offers a secure guest link (no account needed — email OTP) by default, with optional my-id.ca portal sign-in for candidates who prefer a full account.

No. Hivi-X is a document-collection layer that complements your ATS. Export organized screening packages from Hivi-X into the workflow you already use for placements and pipeline management.
