Custom OTYS Go integration development
OTYS Go! is the recruitment system from OTYS in Houten, part of Mysolution: an applicant tracking system for recruitment and selection, temping, secondment and corporate recruitment. OTYS has a long list of existing integrations, from job boards to accounting. But your own careers site, a back office that isn't on that list or an overview that combines figures from multiple systems needs more. Appfront builds the integration between OTYS Go! and those systems, via the open API that OTYS mentions, so candidates and placements are only entered once.
What is an OTYS Go integration?
An OTYS Go integration lets your recruitment system exchange data with the systems you use alongside it. In OTYS Go! you manage vacancies, candidates, clients and placements, with features such as AI-driven search and matching, CV and vacancy parsing, a multiposter for job boards, talent pools and a CRM for your clients. The integration passes on the data another system needs, for example a placement that has to go to the back office, and brings back what OTYS needs, such as the status of a contract or the result of an assessment.
According to its own website, OTYS has access to more than two hundred integrations, with categories such as job boards, assessments, payroll, ERP, invoicing, HRIS, SSO and telephony, and names such as AFAS Software, Exact Online, Easyflex, Indeed and LinkedIn. If you show your vacancies on a WordPress site, OTYS publishes its own plugin. A custom integration covers the rest: a back office or accounting package that isn't on the list, a careers site that doesn't run on WordPress, your own application form, or an overview that puts recruitment figures next to revenue and hours. Without an integration, that means exports and retyping.
We build custom because every agency works differently. Whether you recruit and select, supply temporary staff or second, which systems you use alongside OTYS, at what point a candidate becomes a placement and which system is leading for which piece of data all determine how the integration works. OTYS mentions an open API, but we haven't found any public API documentation on its own website. Which data the API exposes for your environment and how you get access, we establish in the first step together with you and OTYS.

How we build your OTYS Go integration
We start with your agency: how OTYS Go! is set up for you, which systems run alongside it, which integrations you already use and what is currently done by hand. Then we build the first integration, usually the flow that takes the most manual work, such as placements to the back office or applications from your own website. You work with it for a while using real candidates and clients. Other flows and reporting follow if that goes well. After that, we maintain the integration when OTYS or your other systems change.

What an OTYS Go integration actually does

To your own website.

On to the back office.
Duplicate candidates

Permission
GDPR data carried over.
Reporting

Who we build an OTYS Go integration for
The integration is intended for agencies and recruitment teams that work with OTYS Go! and also have systems that don't talk to it out of the box. The more candidates and placements you have, the more it pays off.
Recruitment and selection
Candidate to placement.
Temporary staffing agencies
Placement to payroll.
Secondment agencies
Contracts and hours.
Corporate recruitment
ATS alongside the HR system.
Technology and integrations
This page is about integrations with OTYS Go!. If you work with a different ATS, take a look at our pages on the Carerix integration, the Bullhorn integration and the RecruitNow integration; for the back office there is our page on the Easyflex integration, and if you want your own system for recruitment, our page on building recruitment software. You can read about our approach on building software.
Why Appfront for your OTYS Go integration?
A placement that has to be retyped in the back office, an application from your own site that never arrives in OTYS, or a candidate who appears twice in the system costs an agency time and sometimes a candidate. That is what we build on: data that passes through automatically, a clear source for each piece of data, and an integration that shows you when something went wrong.
Less retyping
Data passes through automatically.
Reliable
One source per data item.
Visible
Errors in the log.
Security and privacy in an OTYS Go integration
The integration processes candidates' personal data, such as CVs, contact details and sometimes assessment results, so it falls under the GDPR. It only sends the fields the other system needs, respects the consent and retention periods you set in OTYS, and logs every exchange with its time and content.
The integration runs in a European data centre, over encrypted connections. Keys and passwords are kept secure and are not visible to staff. We agree with you in advance who in your agency may see which data from the integration.
Frequently asked questions about an OTYS Go integration
Questions that recruiters, agency owners and application managers ask before they get started.
A link between OTYS Go! and another system you use, such as your website, back office, accounting, HR system or your own reporting. Vacancies, applications and placements then flow back and forth automatically, without exports or retyping.
The applicant tracking system from OTYS in Houten, part of Mysolution. Recruiters use it to manage vacancies, candidates, clients and placements, with features such as matching, CV parsing, a multiposter and a CRM, for recruitment and selection, temping, secondment and corporate recruitment.
Yes. According to OTYS there are more than two hundred, including AFAS Software, Exact Online, Easyflex, Indeed and LinkedIn. A custom integration is for the systems that aren't on that list, or for flows that an existing integration doesn't cover.
OTYS mentions an open API and publishes its own WordPress plug-in that works with an API key. We haven't found public API documentation on the OTYS website. Which data the API exposes for your environment, and how you get access, we establish in the first step with you and OTYS.
That is one of the most requested flows. If your site runs on WordPress, the OTYS plug-in may be enough. If you have your own site or your own application form, we build the integration that displays vacancies and sends applications with CVs into OTYS.
The integration retries, and puts an exchange that keeps failing in an error list with the reason. You can see which candidate or placement it concerns and, once corrected, send it again.
For agencies with many placements, a back office or website that isn't on the list of integrations, or their own overview of recruitment and revenue. If you only use systems for which OTYS already has an integration, configuring is often enough.
