🪄 To set up a Hireguide <> BambooHR integration, you need to be an Admin in your company account and an Owner in your Hireguide workspace. In your BambooHR Workspace, if you are using a Custom Access Level see this article on how to enable sufficient access for Basic User Provisioning to successfully set up the integration for your company.
Step 1: Find your API key in BambooHR
To generate an API key in BambooHR:
- Sign in to BambooHR and click your name in the upper-right to show the dropdown menu.
- Visit API Keys in the menu.
- Click Add New Key in the upper-left.
- Add a name and press Generate Key.
- Copy the API key and save it somewhere (you will need it later to enter in Hireguide)
Step 2: Add your BambooHR subdomain and API key to Hireguide
After you generate the API key in your ATS, sign into Hireguide
- In the navigation bar on the left side of your screen, click Settings > Workspace
- Find and select the ATS Integrations tab in the toolbar at the top of the page
- Click + Add Integration in the top right corner of the screen, and a modal will appear with a list of ATSs
- Find and select BambooHR from the list
- Choose how you would like to authenticate (either via the BambooHR website or with the API Key)
- Click Continue in the next modal to give Hireguide access to your BambooHR company account
- Enter your BambooHR subdomain and click submit
- Enter your BambooHR API key when prompted in the next modal
- Click Submit
That’s it! Hireguide will begin syncing with BambooHR and may take a few hours to complete. Hireguide will send you an email when the integration is successful, and your ATS will appear in your Hireguide ATS Integrations page (see example below).
