Coming soon. This post is currently in research. The outline below shows the planned structure — bookmark this page or start a free FormaCV trial and we'll let you know when it publishes.
Standard ATS integrations (Bullhorn, JobAdder, Vincere) cover roughly 70% of agencies. The remaining 30% run on Salesforce-built workflows, Microsoft Dynamics, internal-only platforms, or ERP-extended stacks (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle Taleo). This post covers when to build a custom integration, what's involved, and how to evaluate vendors.
Planned outline
- Intro — standard ATS covers 70%; the other 30% are Salesforce, Dynamics, internal, ERP

- What to evaluate in a vendor — track record, API maturity, engineering resource, maintenance, cost model
- Salesforce-specific guide — custom-built vs Salesforce Recruiting, Apex callouts, LWC, governor limits
- Cost benchmarks — $5k-$50k one-time build, $100-$500/mo maintenance, 3-6 month payback
