## Abstract

Improved systems and methods of facilitating placement of candidates between employers and recruiters are provided. In various implementations, such systems and methods provide an integrated interface within the ATS platform for employers and integrated interface within the talent platforms for recruiters. In another implementation, a talent platform exchange is provided that permits disparate talent platforms to communicate and thus more effectively manage the hiring process from within the platform. To this end, interfaces and other components may be provided which facilitate communication between talent platforms and a talent platform exchange. Such communication capability would enable a direct hire marketplace where employers engage recruiters to fill positions through their presently implemented ATSs.

## Claims

wherein the processor is configured to:
access, from the hiring talent platform via the first API, a record of a job order when the job order is submitted in the hiring talent platform;
cause the staffing talent platform to display information from the record of the job order in a user interface of the staffing talent platform;
access, from the staffing talent platform via the second API, a submission of a candidate to the job order when the candidate is submitted to the job order in the staffing talent platform;
access, from the hiring talent platform via the first API, an indication that the hiring party has placed the candidate to the job order; and
responsive to accessing the indication that the hiring party has placed the candidate to the job order, cause the staffing talent platform to display information indicating that the candidate has been placed to the job order in the user interface of the staffing talent platform.

### Claim 22 (depends on 21)

store a record of the candidate in the data store; and
include a status of the candidate in relation to the job order in the record of the candidate.

### Claim 23 (depends on 22)

The system of claim 22, wherein the processor is configured to:
detect a change in hiring stage of the candidate performed in the hiring talent platform; and
update the record by changing the status of the candidate based on the detected change in hiring stage of the candidate.

### Claim 24 (depends on 23)

The system of claim 23, wherein the processor is configured to:
cause the staffing talent platform to display an indication of the status of the candidate in the user interface of the staffing talent platform; and
cause the staffing talent platform to update the displayed indication of the status of the candidate in the user interface of the staffing talent platform in response to changing the status of the candidate.

### Claim 25 (depends on 21)

The system of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to:
responsive to accessing the submission of the candidate to the job order, cause the hiring talent platform to display a first set of information about the candidate in a user interface of the hiring talent platform.

### Claim 26 (depends on 25)

The system of claim 25, wherein the processor is configured to:
access, from the hiring talent platform via the first API, an indication that the hiring party is interested in the candidate; and
responsive to accessing the indication that the hiring party is interested in the candidate, cause the hiring talent platform to display a second set of information about the candidate in the user interface of the hiring talent platform, wherein the first set of information does not include at least a portion of the second set of information.

### Claim 27 (depends on 21)

The system of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to:
generate an interface in a user interface of the hiring talent platform, the interface configured to receive submissions of job orders; and
access the record of the job order when the job order is submitted via the interface in the user interface of the hiring talent platform.

### Claim 28 (depends on 21)

The system of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to:
generate an interface in the user interface of the staffing talent platform, the interface configured to receive submissions of candidates; and
access the submission of the candidate when the candidate is submitted via the interface in the user interface of the staffing talent platform.

### Claim 29 (depends on 21)

The system of claim 21, wherein the hiring talent platform comprises a first applicant tracking software application (ATS) and the staffing talent platform comprises a second ATS different from the first ATS.

### Claim 30

A system for integration disparate talent platforms, the system comprising:
a processor;
a data store;
a first API configured to communicate with hiring talent platforms associated with respective hiring parties;
a second API configured to communicate with a staffing talent platform separate from the hiring talent platforms, the staffing talent platform associated with a staffing party;
wherein the processor is configured to:
access, via the first API from at least one of the hiring talent platforms, records of a plurality of job orders when the plurality of job orders are submitted via the at least one hiring talent platform;
filter the plurality of job orders for the staffing party associated with the talent platform;
cause the first staffing talent platform to display information from records of the filtered set of job orders in a user interface of the staffing talent platform;
access, from the staffing talent platform via the second API, a submission of a candidate to a first one of the filtered set of job orders, the first job order submitted in a first one of the hiring talent platforms;
responsive to accessing the submission of the candidate to the first job order, cause the first hiring talent platform to display information about the candidate in a user interface of the first hiring talent platform.

### Claim 31 (depends on 30)
