How can I select which jobs I want to sync from my ATS connection?

When syncing jobs from your ATS (Applicant Tracking System) to Wellfound, you have full control over which specific positions get published to your company profile.

Important: This is a manual process that requires active involvement from a recruiter or admin. Even with auto-sync enabled, new jobs from your ATS will not automatically appear on Wellfound. You must sign in to https://wellfound.com/recruit/ats/sync to manually review and select which jobs to publish.

The manual review process ensures you can control which positions are visible to candidates and properly configure required visa sponsorship settings for each role (which prevents true auto-syncing).

How to manually select and sync jobs

First, if you haven't yet configure your ATS connection so that new jobs sync with Wellfound. Follow the guide here.

  1. Log into your Wellfound recruiter account
  2. Navigate directly to https://wellfound.com/recruit/ats/sync OR click the gear icon in the top right corner, then select 'ATS integration'

  1. Check the bottom of the page for unsynced jobs
  2. When new positions are available from your ATS, you will see a message that indicates 'We found X active jobs'
  3. Click 'Sync Jobs' to begin reviewing available positions. This step is required every time new jobs are added to your ATS.

  1. Select the jobs you want to sync:

Option 1: Select all roles

    • Syncs every available job from your ATS
    • Still requires visa sponsorship configuration

Option 2: Choose specific jobs

    • Click on the job category to open up the job list and reveal selection options
    • Check boxes next to the positions you want to publish

Note: If you have any matching jobs posted natively on Wellfound, you will also see the option to 'Pair' these jobs which merges them so there are no duplicates. This is recommended because it will ensure that any previous applicants are sent to your ATS.

  1. Manually configure visa sponsorship (required step). This is why true auto-sync does not currently work. For each selected job, you must manually specify either:

'Yes' to enable visa sponsorship if your company can sponsor visas for this role.

OR

'No' to prohibit those requiring a visa sponsorship from applying to the position.

This manual step is required because visa sponsorship availability significantly impacts your candidate pool and requires deliberate decision-making.

  1. After making your selections and configuring settings, click 'Next' to sync the roles to Wellfound.

Important notes

  1. You must actively manage this process by signing in to https://wellfound.com/recruit/ats/sync regularly after publishing new jobs in your ATS, as no jobs sync automatically and each requires manual review and visa sponsorship configuration.
  2. After syncing jobs from your ATS, you must manually review each job posting on the jobs page to ensure compensation information is included. Full-time and contract roles without compensation data will experience limited distribution on Wellfound, reducing their visibility to candidates. Learn more about distribution requirements here.
