Webhooks

Overview

Talroo uses webhooks to notify your application when an event happens in your account.

How Talroo uses webhooks

A webhook enables Talroo to push real-time notifications to your app. Talroo uses HTTPS to send these notifications to your app as a JSON payload. You can then use these notifications to execute actions in your backend systems.

Why use webhooks

Events sent via webhooks are sent in near real-time, and it is this aspect that makes them especially useful. In today's job market, many different distractions can keep a job candidate from moving through your hiring funnel. This makes alerts, or events, of a job candidate's actions in near real-time extremely valuable, as getting and keeping a job candidate's attention is key in successful recruiting.

For example, let's say you set up a webhook to receive Job Application events. These event notifications could allow your app to automatically perform actions such as email or SMS job candidate follow-up, job application assignment, or alerting your recruiters of a new job application as soon as it is submitted by the job candidate. This kind of automated action could happen in near real-time and allow you to keep job candidates' attention and convert them to interviews and hires.

Steps to receive webhook events

You can start receiving event notifications in your app using the steps on the following pages:

1. Identify the events you want to monitor and the event payloads to parse
2. Create a webhook endpoint as an HTTPS endpoint (URL) on your internet-facing server or API
3. Ensure your endpoint is ready to handle requests from Talroo by parsing each event object and returning 2xx response status codes
4. Work with your Talroo POC to create a new webhook
