Integration with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) has become a critical component for any recruitment platform or job portal. Workable, one of the most widely used ATS, exposes a public API that allows querying active job postings without authentication, facilitating the aggregation of jobs from external applications. At Q2BSTUDIO, as a company specialized in custom applications, we have worked with this API to build solutions that centralize vacancies from multiple sources.
The starting point is to identify the slug of the Workable account, which usually appears in the public URL of the careers portal. With that identifier, a GET request can be made to an endpoint like /api/accounts/{slug} adding the parameter details=true to obtain full descriptions and additional metadata. The response returns an array of objects, each with title, application link, structured location, publication date, and other fields such as experience level. The lack of authentication simplifies development but requires handling redirects and normalizing the information.
One of the challenges is correctly interpreting locations. The API can return both a location_str field and a list of locations objects with city, region, and country. Additionally, it is necessary to detect if a job is remote by examining fields such as telecommuting or workplace_type. Designing robust normalization logic is essential to avoid duplicates and inconsistent labels, especially when integrating vacancies from different companies.
From a business perspective, the ability to consume public feeds like Workable's opens the door to developing scraping tools, job search engines, or analytics dashboards. At Q2BSTUDIO, we combine these integrations with cloud services AWS and Azure to deploy scalable architectures that process hundreds of job postings daily. Additionally, we apply artificial intelligence to enrich the data: from classifying job postings by industry to extracting key competencies through AI agents that automate review. Our business intelligence services with Power BI allow visualizing hiring trends and salaries, while cybersecurity practices ensure sensitive data is protected throughout the pipeline.
For companies that manage recruitment and need to unify vacancies from Workable with other ATS like Greenhouse or Lever, developing a custom middleware is a strategic investment. At Q2BSTUDIO, we offer AI for businesses and custom software that optimize these flows, reducing integration time and increasing data reliability. If your organization seeks to automate job posting capture or build an intelligent job portal, our team has the technical experience to accompany you in every phase of the project.
