Overview
After connecting your ATS to Jemmo, your data is synchronized automatically. This ensures Jemmo always has the latest information for AI matching and candidate management.
What Gets Synced
Jobs:
- Job titles and descriptions
- Requirements and qualifications
- Locations and compensation
- Job status (open/closed)
Talents (Candidates):
- Candidate profiles
- Contact information
- Resume/CV files
- Application history
- Current stage in hiring process
Automatic Synchronization
Synchronization happens in the background every 6 hours without any manual intervention.
Sync Schedule
- Jobs & Talents: Automatically synced every 6 hours
- Real-time: Updates from your ATS are processed as they happen (for supported providers)
Refreshing Data Manually
If you've just made a change in your ATS and want to see it immediately in Jemmo, you can trigger a manual refresh.
Refreshing Jobs
- Navigate to Jobs page
- Once an ATS is connected, a sync icon appears in the header — click it to refresh jobs

Refreshing Talents
- Navigate to Talents page
- Once an ATS is connected, a sync icon appears in the header — click it to refresh talents

Understanding Sync Process
How Sync Works
Sync Pipeline:
ATS Provider
│
├─> API Request (Jobs)
│ └─> Fetch updated job listings
│
├─> API Request (Talents)
│ └─> Fetch candidate profiles
│
├─> Data Processing
│ ├─> Map ATS fields to Jemmo schema
│ ├─> Validate data integrity
│ └─> Apply organization rules
│
├─> Database Update
│ ├─> Upsert jobs to database
│ ├─> Upsert talents to database
│ └─> Update sync timestamps
│
└─> Complete
├─> Send success notification
└─> Update UI with latest data
Initial Sync vs. Incremental Sync
Initial Sync (First Connection):
- Processes all historical jobs and talents
- May take up to 24 hours for large datasets
- Full sync of all records
- Creates baseline for future incremental syncs
Incremental Sync (Ongoing):
- Only processes changed records since last sync
- Typically completes within minutes
- Efficient use of API resources
- Preserves sync performance
Sync Duration Examples:
| Record Count | Initial Sync | Incremental Sync |
|---|---|---|
| 0-100 | 1-5 minutes | 10-30 seconds |
| 100-500 | 5-15 minutes | 30-60 seconds |
| 500-1000 | 15-30 minutes | 1-2 minutes |
| 1000-5000 | 30-60 minutes | 2-5 minutes |
| 5000+ | 1-24 hours | 5-15 minutes |

- Manual Refresh:
- When was last sync?
- If more than 6 hours, trigger manual refresh
Talents Not Appearing
Problem: Talents don't appear in Jemmo
Solution:
- Check ATS Data:
- Ensure candidates exist in your ATS

Best Practices
Sync Schedule
Optimal Timing:
- Initial Sync: Run during off-peak hours (evening/weekend)
- Regular Syncs: Let automatic syncs handle updates
- Before Interviews: Manually sync to ensure latest candidate data
- After Job Postings: Sync immediately to capture new roles
Data Management
Before Sync:
- Ensure ATS data is accurate
- Remove duplicate records in ATS
- Standardize job titles and candidate info
- Verify ATS API access is working
After Sync:
- Verify records imported correctly
- Check for missing data
- Validate job/talent relationships
- Report any inconsistencies
Monitoring
Regular Checks:
- Weekly:
- Check last sync timestamps
- Verify sync status is green
- Review sync logs for warnings
- Monthly:
- Audit synced data quality
- Compare ATS vs Jemmo record counts
- Update API keys if near expiration
Security
API Key Management:
- Rotate API keys every 90 days
- Revoke old keys immediately after rotation
- Never share keys in documentation or code
Data Privacy:
- Follow GDPR and data protection regulations
Troubleshooting Workflow
When Issues Occur:
- Check Status:
- View sync timestamps in Settings
- Look for error messages
- Review Logs:
- Check Settings > Logs for sync errors
- Copy error messages for support
