Over the past decade, recruitment has become deeply digital. From applicant tracking and interview apps to assessment tools and onboarding software, recruitment today operates as an integrated series of processes. A 2023 report by Gartner indicates that large companies tend to implement approximately 9–12 human resources software tools for recruitment and workforce planning management. While these tools can enhance firm efficiencies, they can also create headaches for the HR department due to data redundancy, manual processes, and reporting issues. The growing number of job openings and team growth across multiple geographies is creating a nightmare of issues around the integration of HR technology tools for HR professionals.
It was in this environment that WeCP, founded in Bengaluru in 2016 by Abhishek Kaushik and Mohit Goyal, positioned its assessment platform to operate within existing HR technology stacks. Instead of functioning as a standalone testing tool, the platform was designed to connect with commonly used recruitment systems. Over time, WeCP developed integrations with applicant tracking and HR tools such as Greenhouse, Workday, Zoho Recruit, Workable, TurboHire, and iCIMS. These integrations allow candidate data and assessment results to move automatically between systems.
Through these connections, recruiters can trigger assessments directly from their applicant tracking system and receive results in the same interface. Candidate profiles are updated with scores, reports, and completion status without the need for manual uploads. This reduces repeated data entry and shortens the time between application and evaluation. In high-volume hiring programs, even small time savings per candidate can accumulate into significant operational differences across thousands of applications.
Beyond recruitment, integrations also affect internal hiring and mobility programs. Many organizations use their core HR systems to manage internal job postings and skill inventories. When assessment platforms connect with these systems, employee evaluations can be aligned with workforce planning data. Assessment outcomes can be linked to learning management systems or performance records, helping HR teams identify where training investments may be required. While outcomes depend on how each organization uses the data, system connectivity provides the technical foundation for these workflows.
Centralized reporting is another operational outcome of integrated hiring systems. When assessment data, interview feedback, and hiring decisions are stored across multiple tools, building complete reports can be difficult. Integrated platforms allow organizations to pull data into dashboards that reflect the entire hiring journey. This supports compliance audits, diversity tracking, and long-term hiring trend analysis. In regulated industries, where documentation and traceability are required, consistent data flow across systems becomes especially important.
WeCP’s platform supports these integration workflows by using standardized APIs and pre-built connectors for major HR systems. This approach allows organizations to adopt the platform without restructuring their existing recruitment processes. Integration timelines are shorter when connectors already exist, which can be relevant for companies running time-bound hiring drives such as campus programs or seasonal recruitment. However, the operational impact still depends on how effectively organizations configure and maintain their system connections.
Another operational aspect influenced by integration is candidate experience. By integrating the assessments into an application’s workflow, candidates don’t have to deal with multiple logins or follow different instructions from the recruiter. There is consistency in the updates shown across all platforms, reducing the confusion about what’s next. While the test itself and its design are essential to the candidate experience, system integration can help reduce friction. Through industry surveys from 2021 to 2024, unclear communication and prolonged waiting times are consistently among the top reasons why candidates lose interest in the hiring process.
From a compliance perspective, system integration helps with data governance. With GDPR and other data protection regulations in effect, organizations need to understand where their candidate data is stored and who has access to it. System integration with managed interfaces helps with audit trails. This doesn’t eliminate the need for compliance, but it makes it easier and reduces the need for manual record-keeping.
System integration also addresses technical maintenance. There are fewer systems to manage, so the IT overhead for provisioning and maintenance decreases. By combining single sign-on with assessment tools, recruiters and hiring managers can use their corporate logins to access systems. This likely decreases help desk calls and speeds up the process for new recruiters to join the team. The benefits won’t be seen right away, but will add up to more consistent system performance for large-scale recruiting initiatives.
Eventually, hiring analytics from integrated systems can help inform overall workforce strategy. By correlating assessment data with hiring success and performance metrics, trends develop about job fit and training requirements. While making claims about causality is complex, the integration of data sources allows organizations to experiment and improve their hiring models. In this way, operational efficiency informs strategic decision-making, not just operational task management.
WeCP is presently operating as an evaluation solution that integrates with a broader HR tech ecosystem rather than operating as a standalone solution. The integration of WeCP with Greenhouse, Workday, Zoho Recruit, Workable, TurboHire, and iCIMS reflects the broader industry trend towards the development of an integrated recruitment platform. WeCP, founded by Abhishek Kaushik and Mohit Goyal, represents a trajectory in which the interoperability of technology has become an essential component of the recruitment process.
