What are Get on Board's Webhooks useful for?

If your recruiting workflow depends on another system, webhooks let Get on Board notify that system when something relevant happens in your account.

Instead of asking the API repeatedly for updates, your app receives a notification when an event occurs, such as a new application, a job update, a candidate withdrawal, a message, or a matching job.

This is useful when you want to:

  • Alert your team in another tool when a candidate applies.
  • Start an internal workflow when a job changes.
  • Keep a reporting, CRM, or automation tool aware of recruiting activity.
  • React faster without manually checking Get on Board.

Availability

For company accounts, webhooks are available only when your subscription includes webhook access. Professionals can use webhooks from their own account.

How to set them up

  1. Create or enable a secure public URL that can receive webhook notifications. You can also use services like Zapier or IFTTT instead of building your own service.
  2. In your webhook settings, choose the events you want to receive and add the URL where those events should be sent.

The key difference with our API is that instead of polling for updates, webhooks push those updates automatically when events happen.

For event names, payloads, and implementation details, check the API documentation or read what webhook events Get on Board sends.
