ATS candidate records
are not candidate intelligence.
An ATS stores data about the recruiting process. A Digital Dossier stores intelligence about the candidate. The ATS tells you where the candidate is in the funnel. The dossier tells you whether they should be there.
What an ATS Actually Stores
Process data, not candidate intelligence.
Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby — they are excellent at tracking where candidates are in a recruiting process. They store applications, interview notes, scorecards, email threads, and stage transitions. They are workflow tools.
They were not designed to answer the question: ‘Is this candidate the right person for this role?’ That question requires evidence. The ATS has process data. That is a different thing.
What the ATS Contains
Application date, resume uploaded, interview stage, scorecard scores (1–4), recruiter notes, email correspondence, offer details. Process metadata. Optimised for pipeline management.
What the ATS Omits
Compensation intelligence, leadership pattern analysis, network signal, professional history validation, risk flags, cultural fit analysis. Everything a hiring manager actually needs to decide.
The Decision Gap
ATS data is insufficient for executive decisions.
A hiring manager reviewing three VP finalists in an ATS sees: a resume, interview scorecards, and recruiter notes. If the scorecards say 3 out of 4 on ‘leadership’ and 3.5 out of 4 on ‘culture fit,’ they have numbers without evidence.
That data does not tell them which candidate’s leadership pattern fits the team they will inherit. It does not tell them which candidate’s compensation expectation is misaligned. It does not tell them which candidate has a risk flag in their history.
The ATS answers ‘where is this candidate in our process?’ The Digital Dossier answers ‘should we be advancing this candidate?’ One is a tracking tool. The other is a decision tool.
Majhi OS and ATS Integration
Dossier-level intelligence alongside ATS workflow.
Majhi OS integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby. The Digital Dossier lives alongside the ATS candidate record — built from external evidence, linked to the ATS profile, surfaced when the hiring manager reviews the shortlist.
The ATS tracks the process. The dossier informs the decision. Both are necessary. Neither replaces the other.
Greenhouse Integration
Dossier linked to candidate profile. Surfaced at shortlist review stage. ATS scorecard data used as one input to dossier’s brief-alignment layer.
Lever Integration
Dossier accessible from candidate detail view. Stage transition data feeds HRI pipeline velocity signal. Offer stage data feeds close velocity sub-signal.
Ashby Integration
Full bi-directional sync. Dossier updates as candidate progresses. Risk flags and fit scores updated as new evidence enters the pipeline.
