Integrating Yardstik and Bullhorn

  • Gather your Bullhorn API Username and Corporation ID (normally, this is a four or five-digit code) by submitting a ticket to Bullhorn Support, also specifying that you will use this to set up the Yardstik integration.

  • Next, generate a Bullhorn API Password from within the Bullhorn platform

  • Save this information somewhere safe and navigate to the Yardstik platform

Configure the integration in Yardstik

  • In the left navigation, click on Developer Tools > Integrations

  • Click the “+” on the Bullhorn Integration Card

  • Generate your Yardstik api_key, then copy/paste it somewhere safe

  • Paste your Bullhorn Corporation ID, API Username, and API Password into the appropriate fields on the integration card

  • Click Update

  • Flip the toggle to enable the integration

Sign in to Bullhorn

  • Navigate to Bullhorn and sign in

  • Open the menu and select Admin, then choose View layout

  • Select Candidate from the Field Map Entity menu

  • Click on Custom Tabs

  • Create a new Custom Tab and name it Yardstik Background Check

  • Check the Enabled checkbox

  • In the URL field, paste this URL with your API Key at the end https://api.yardstik.com/bullhorn/YOUR API KEY/tab

  • Assign the User Types that you want to be able to access the ability to order and view background check reports

  • Click Save

That’s it! Now you’re ready to order a background check report from Yardstik
