How Popp Built a Recruitment AI Agent with Enterprise ATS Integration in Weeks

Summary

Popp, a recruitment AI agent for staffing agencies, needed to connect to multiple Applicant Tracking Systems to serve its diverse client base. By leveraging StackOne’s integration infrastructure, Popp’s AI agent could connect to enterprise ATS and CRM systems in weeks, enabling rapid scaling and real-time data updates across systems while maintaining strong security standards.

Company Overview

Popp is building a recruitment AI agent that automates the most time-consuming parts of staffing — sourcing, engaging, and managing candidates at scale. The AI agent integrates directly into staffing agencies’ workflows, handling top-of-funnel work for large corporations managing complex hiring needs across multiple clients, so recruiters can focus on complex, high-value hiring.

We automate away a lot of the top-of-funnel heavy lifting, so recruiters can get back to more complex work.

The Integration Challenge

Popp’s customer base consists of large staffing firms managing global hiring operations across multiple ATS platforms. Each new client brought a unique ATS system, complicating data synchronization. The increasing number of systems made internal integration development unsustainable. Popp needed a solution to:

• Support numerous ATS integrations quickly
• Manage real-time data flows between systems
• Meet high security requirements without diverting focus from core product development

As we onboard new clients, they often use different ATS platforms. We need to integrate with these systems, which becomes very complex and isn’t something we want to maintain ourselves.

Why StackOne

Popp selected StackOne for three key reasons:

Security: With increasing focus on data protection in the AI era, Popp prioritized a solution that avoided unnecessary data storage and guaranteed secure handling of sensitive recruitment data.

Real-Time Capabilities: Popp needed real-time integration to ensure candidate data was immediately updated across systems, a critical requirement for high-volume recruitment processes.

Coverage: StackOne provides 200+ pre-built connectors and thousands of actions out of the box. For any new integration Popp’s customers request, StackOne guarantees support — enabling Popp’s AI agent to act across any ATS without custom development.

We knew building our own integrations wasn’t sustainable long-term, and StackOne offered exactly what we needed — scalability, security, and real-time capabilities.

Onboarding Experience

Popp’s onboarding with StackOne was fast and efficient. Within a few weeks, Popp’s development team understood and implemented StackOne’s API, allowing integration with new ATS systems within two to four weeks. Rapid support from StackOne’s team ensured smooth technical implementation and quick adaptation to customer needs.

We can now launch with our clients within two to four weeks, and the speed at which StackOne maps new ATS systems for us is remarkable.

The Results

By partnering with StackOne, Popp achieved significant improvements:

Reduced Integration Time: The ability to integrate with multiple ATS systems in weeks instead of months allowed faster client onboarding with fewer resources.

Increased Customer Satisfaction: Customers appreciated seamless, immediate integration with existing ATS systems, enhancing recruitment efficiency.

Enhanced Sales Proposition: Being able to promise rapid integration with any ATS provider gave Popp a competitive edge during sales, unlocking new deals.

Being able to demonstrate that our system syncs candidate data in real-time is a game-changer, and it has directly led to closing deals.
