Recruitee

Recruitee (via Apideck)

Access Recruitee through Apideck's ATS unified API — one of 11 ATS connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Greenhouse, Workday, Lever and 7 other ATS connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Recruitee plumbing.

Quick facts

• Apideck serviceId: recruitee
• Unified API: ATS
• Auth type: apiKey
• Apideck setup guide: Connection guide
• Gotchas: page
• Homepage: https://recruitee.com/

When to use this skill

Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with Recruitee — for example, "list open jobs in Recruitee" or "move an applicant through stages in Recruitee". This skill teaches the agent:

1. Which Apideck unified API covers Recruitee (ATS)
2. The correct serviceId to pass on every call (recruitee)
3. Recruitee-specific auth and coverage caveats

For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:

• apideck-node, apideck-python, apideck-dotnet, apideck-java, apideck-go, apideck-php, or apideck-rest

For the raw OpenAPI spec:

• ATS: https://specs.apideck.com/ats.yml · API Explorer

Minimal example (TypeScript)

import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";

const apideck = new Apideck({
  apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
  appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
  consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});

// List applicants in Recruitee
const { data } = await apideck.ats.applicants.list({
  serviceId: "recruitee",
});

Portable across 11 ATS connectors

The Apideck ATS unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from Recruitee to another ATS connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.

// Today — Recruitee
await apideck.ats.applicants.list({ serviceId: "recruitee" });

// Tomorrow — same code, different connector
await apideck.ats.applicants.list({ serviceId: "greenhouse" });
await apideck.ats.applicants.list({ serviceId: "workday" });

This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating Recruitee directly: code against the unified ATS API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.

Authentication

• Type: API Key
• Managed by: Apideck Vault — the user pastes their Recruitee API key into the Vault modal; Apideck stores it encrypted and injects it on every request.
• Rotation: if the user rotates their key, they re-enter it in Vault. No code changes needed.

Setup guide: Apideck publishes a step-by-step guide for registering an OAuth app / configuring credentials for Recruitee — see https://developers.apideck.com/connectors/recruitee/docs/consumer+connection. Use that as the authoritative source when walking users through connection setup.

See apideck-best-practices for Vault setup, connection lifecycle, and handling re-auth flows.

Verifying coverage

Not every ATS operation is supported by every connector. Always verify before assuming a method works:

curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/connectors/recruitee' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}"

See apideck-connector-coverage for patterns around UnsupportedOperationError and connector-specific fallbacks.

Escape hatch: Proxy API

When an endpoint isn't covered by the ATS unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call Recruitee directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set x-apideck-downstream-url to the target endpoint on Recruitee's own API:

curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
  -H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
  -H "x-apideck-service-id: recruitee" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-url: <target endpoint on Recruitee>" \
  -H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"

See Recruitee's API docs for available endpoints.

Sibling connectors

Other ATS connectors that share this unified API surface (same method signatures, just change serviceId):

greenhouse, workday, lever, workable (beta), bullhorn-ats (beta), teamtailor (beta), freshteam, jobadder (beta), and 2 more.
